What follows is a candid look at the Pittsburgh nativeās past six years, starting with his ascent, when he was 19, as a popular but critically panned rapper. āI was an easy target. I admit that,ā he says now. āIt became one of those things where I got so much negativity that it almost became, like, āThereās no point to overly hate on this dude, let me look in and see what heās doing.ā And when you look in, thereās some good music there.ā Following his 2011 debut album, Billboard's first independently released No.1 in over a decade, Mac moved to Los Angeles, where it seemed to many he was thriving. Thatās where Andrew Nosnitsky met him for Mac Miller's 2013 The FADER cover story, and where he played an endearing role in Earl Sweatshirtās cover too.
