<a href="/biography/mac-miller">Malcolm James McCormick</a> is an American <a href="/biography/mac-miller">Rapper</a> more known by his stage name, “Mac Miller”. Mac was born on January 12, 1992 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father was Mark McCormick and his mother was Karen Meyers. He could have grown up in a diverse religious household because he was born to a Christian father and a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews">Jewish</a> mother, but he was raised as a Jew. He is also a noted <a href="/biography/mac-miller">record producer</a> and went under the pseudonym, <a href="/biography/mac-miller">Larry Fisherman</a>. He wanted to keep his rap name and producer name different to avoid confusion for his audience.

Early Stages of Rap Career

Mac was a normal happy kid that was interested in sports and could be seen at all the high school parties. He was very popular in high school because of his positive outlook. At the young age of 15, he focused on starting a hip hop career and it changed his life completely.  He was a self-taught musician and enjoyed playing the drums, guitar, piano and bass.

Before Mac started rapping, he wanted to be a singer and write songs about his life. He decided to become a rapper because of the feedback he got during high school. During a freestyle circle, Mac got the courage to join in. He rapped and was applauded by his peers. He got addicted to the attention that his rapping skills brought him. He became a popular student because his classmates saw him as the cool white kid that could rap and hold his own in the hip hop arena.

Prior to changing his name to Mac Miller, he was called “<a href="/biography/mac-miller">EZ Mac</a>”. In 2007 he released a mixtape called But My Mackin’ Ain’t Easy. He joined the rap group The Ill Spoken. Together, they released mixtape called How High in 2008. Being in a group gave Mac much needed experience but he started to realize that he was good enough to carve his own path. He decided to go solo and leave his crew.

At the age of 17, Miller released two hip hop mixtapes. One mixtape was called The Jukebox: Prelude to Class Clown and the other mixtape was called The High Life. By the time he released his solo mixtapes, he was well into the world of music and starting to create a buzz around himself. The hype about his music allowed him to sign a record deal with Rostrum Records. From the moment he signed his first record deal, it was a steady upward climb for Mac’s career. In 2010, Mac embarked on his first tour. He called the tour, The Most Dope Tour to reflect his lifestyle. Most of Mac’s music was about his love for cannabis. He did not shy away from naming his songs and records with cannabis related names. He loved to take photos of him smoking weed because he wanted to connect with his fans. He wasn’t making music for a large audience, he was making music for his hardcore fans who loved to smoke weed and live a positive high life. Mac’s tour sold out in every location. The financial success proved that Mac had found his formula. He enlisted the help of producers that could make stoner friendly beats while he rapped about getting high.

Mac won two Pittsburgh hip hop awards the same year he went on his first tour. He successfully used social media as a free marketing tactic to hype his music. His fans on social media helped him out by sharing his images and music with their friends. Mac blew up at a time when cannabis was becoming more socially acceptable. It was no longer seen as a drug that was only used by losers and anti conformists. In Mac’s music videos, he had beautiful girls smoking weed while having a great time.

Although Mac was enjoying newfound success as a musician, he had trouble dealing with the stress as a young musician. His personal life was in shambles. He started going beyond cannabis and became addicted to a combination of promethazine and codeine. The combination was known as purple drank or lean. It was a popular drink among rappers. Mac and his friends got arrested for marijuana possession and spent a night in jail. Things started to get worse for him because he became a heavy drug user. His friends moved away from him and he was totally lost.

Rise and Tragedy

Mac knew he had to make a change and decided to quit drugs in November 2012. He started shooting for his own reality show Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family. The sober period allowed him to back on his feet. In 2013, he decided to move to Los Angeles to father his music career.

His fame from music piqued the interests of filmmakers. He acted in movies and television shows like Ridiculousness, Scary Movie 5, This Girl’s Life, and Blue Slide Park.

Miller had a longtime girlfriend named Nomi Leasure who he met in middle school. They were together for many years until they broke up in April of 2013. He was really in love with her as many of his songs in his mixtape Macadelic are about their relationship.

He started to fall in love with a famous pop star named <a href="/biography/ariana-grande">Ariana Grande</a>. They worked together on song called In The Way. There was a kissing scene with <a href="/biography/ariana-grande">Ariana</a> but the claimed that there was nothing going on between them at the time because Mac was single and <a href="/biography/ariana-grande">Ariana</a> had a boyfriend. When asked about marriage, Mac said he was in no rush because early marriages often lead to disappointment and divorce. He was trying to avoid that sort of drama in his life.

Mac and <a href="/biography/ariana-grande">Ariana</a> eventually got together and dated for two years. A month after they broke up, <a href="/biography/ariana-grande">Ariana</a> married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Davidson">Pete Davidson</a> who was a Saturday Night Live cast <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Davidson">member</a>. Mac took the breakup hard as he had hoped that there was a chance that the two could get back together. After she married just a month after the break up, he was devastated.

On September 7, 2018 Mac Miller was found dead from an apparent drug overdose. The media speculated that he started using heavy drugs to cope with his relationship problems. Many of his rap friends and peers spoke up to tell the world that they lost a great and kind friend that cared deeply about people.
