- www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with Mac Miller. This is the 4th time that Mac and Nick Huff Barili have sat down for an interview. In the first installment of this segment Mac shares where he is at in his life musically and personally. Mac explains that he went through a dark period during the Macadelic tour where he hated everything because he loved the mixtape but fans didn't embrace it the way he hoped. Mac is in a better place now and has received critical acclaim and fan support for his new album which has no songs on it aimed for radio. Mac goes on to explain his alter ego's Larry Fisherman and Larry Lovestein and how each allow him to tap into other aspects that might not fit into the "Mac Miller" brand. Though Mac states "I don't even know who "Mac Miller" the artist is". As the interview continues Mac talks about working with Ariana Grande and their controversial kiss in her music video which features Mac called The Way. Part 1 of this interview ends with Mac talking about Celebrity Culture and the false idea that people have a simple identity. Although it might be easier to put people in a box Mac states that we all go through the same basic feelings.

From Hip Hop DX:
Mac Miller touches on the Larry Fisherman and Larry Lovestein personas, and says "Watching Movies with the Sound Off" isn't a drastic shift for him.
Hip Hop has long been known for the use of alternate personas in artists such as Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, and others.
In an interview with HardKnockTV, Mac Miller discussed his use of the creative tool, starting with his "Larry Fisherman" persona, under which he released the instrumental mixtape Run-On Sentences Vol. 1.
"I like creating these characters because I feel like the identity of Mac Miller is... to me, I don't even know who 'Mac Miller the Artist' is, like what I represent, what I stand for. The thing I like about these characters is I feel like I can bring all these pieces of myself and emphasize them," explained Mac.
"Larry Fisherman represents the part of me that's a completely nasty studio rat," he elaborated. "In reality, I'm a pretty gross human being. I don't shower until like 9:30 PM, right before I go on stage. When I'm in the studio, I'll just go weeks straight. So that's the studio rat aspect of me."
Mac was also asked about the "Larry Lovestein" persona, under which he released the You EP in 2012.
"I'm also a big softy at heart," he explained, smiling. "I think everyone always knew that. I don't think I ever really gave off the tough vibe. But there's that side of me as well. Larry Lovestein is...I've kinda have always had this random fantasy of being a seventy-year-old Lounge Jazz singer with a hairy chest that I always show to people, and a thick 'stache, because I can grow facial hair everywhere beside the mustache. Pisses me the fuck off. Why can't I grow a nice, illustrious 'stache? So Larry Lovestein is kinda that, the old-fashioned, classic Jazz singer guy."
Finally, Miller spoke about Watching Movies with the Sound Off, his second studio album, and how it was as personal as his earlier works. "This is the funny thing: everywhere I go, I hear people talk about this huge shift and change in music. 'Oh, you never touched on anything in your music before, and you're suddenly [doing that].' I think that the difference was that this one just had more of it."
"All that music was always there; it just never took up the majority of the album. I think this one's a little more like that. I think I'm just getting more comfortable with the idea of an album not having all these singles that are things that lead to albums but having these pieces in there. Which is cool."
when he talked about Ariana.. if he only knew then! Wow I miss him.
Pleas somebody help Mac miller
Pedro said it 5 years ago
:")
Pedro fuckin on it
😔😔😔
What he said (around the 8:00 mark) about the complexity and simplification of people (especially in celebrity culture) was amazing. He has great thoughts, and I think he's worth the listen. He's someone who can offer a lot to the world and people who do listen to his inner dialogue. Respect :).
RIP mac, still watching these
People who suffer from anxiety disorders often stumble on their words while talking on the spot and tend to say “like” whenever they forget what they are trying to say. I say it a lot without even realizing it. You can tell by the way he does interviews that he has bad anxiety. A lot of people just assume he’s fucked up because he admitted to doing a lot of drugs, but this is mainly from his anxiety he has trouble speaking while on the spot. When he gets comfortable he starts talking better. He actually feels more comfortable whenever he is intoxicated. I’m willing to bet that Mac talked a lot better in his videos where he was high than when he was sober. Nerves cause people to stutter and forget what they’re saying. RIP Mac. You’re truly amazing and will live on❤️
RIP bro....
You and X Hurt Me The Most When Ya’ll Passed. Life isn’t fair man. Thank You for all of your music. All of it.
Would pay all I've got just to have a conversation with him.. He was such a nice and inspirational guy. Rest In Peace Mac
He's sooo unique , i love him
@7:34 💔
Rip Malcom I love you
lol I freaking love Mac Miller, he is just a goon. I'd get along with him if I knew him
He got all excited talking about Ariana! :)
He acts like that cause he's nervous, he says he is nervous all the time. Love you mac! :)
thats the cocaine
I'm so excited for his next album because I honestly have no idea what to expect. I heard him once, when asked about his new album and how different it is, say that he's never going to make two of the same thing. He's already done Blue Slide Park; he's not doing another. He's already done K.I.D.S.; he's not doing another K.I.D.S. Every one of his works represents a different side of his musical talent, and while I'm currently enjoying WMWTSO, I can't wait to see what's next.
I think ariana and mac are going to go out thoe well idk
Predicted the future...
@@review1639 I'm so happy I see other people going back on Mac interviews, makes me feel like im not the only one who thinks about him every now and then
Nard Dog for sure bro. RIP Mac Miller
Damn.
@@snoozezzz.86 damn....
Look at how happy he gets when the interviewer brings up Ariana
My guy. 💔
I feel like Mac Miller should be in Odd future...
I didn't even notice him say "like" lol...calm down everyone X)
He loved her from the beginning
Yepppp
I love your tattoos on your leg Mac Miller
"Why can't I grow a fuckin' nice, illustrious 'stache?" Life's greatest question.
I miss Mac
I love you Ariana and Mac Miller
Mac put out the best album Ive heard this year
Kids is one of my fav albums of all time
I THINK hes awesome and I love his music, but the best thing is you can tell he enjoys what hes doing....and thats really what matters.
I love you man. Rest In Peace
I want to interview Malcolm James McCormick for a school project im 19 from Cali lets make it happen!!
mac miller the fuckin man dude
LOGIC, THEN MAC this is some good shit.
WHAT AN AWARE AND REAL PERSON,NO COMPLEX AT ALL
He is one of the greatest rappers ever!
This dude is rollin' during this interview for sure.
RIP Mac miss u bro
Idk how people hate on Macadelic that was a sick mixtape and showed that's he is capable of making raw music not just fun stuff like on K.I.D.S and Best Day Ever
Crazy to see how far we’ve came
Man I really miss Mac Miller man
Mac understands to survive in this game its better to have a core audience that rocks for you hence the venue he was performing at super intimate. Personally mac can rap his ass of and the content is for any kid questioning life the complacent norms of society macs music is raw I wish homie nothing but the best and he way bettr then wiz
...like...uh...like...like...lol
Still love Mac Miller but this interview had me rollin! He looks stoned af! ;-)
I want to fuck with this beat
hes probably getting higher and higher through the interview
its funny af lol , hes high or somethin but its hard for him to speak wat hes thinking so he keeps saying like .. why do yall judge so much on everyyyyy lik detail.. just enjoy it , why take your time to watch it and point out the mistakes ? no one gaf
Macadelic then WTMWSO were his two most dope pieces of work imo.
I look up to mac miller...ledgend in the making
*legend made
RestEasyMac
He is still amazing regardless of him bein high or not
He's allowed to do that. He's Mac Miller.
i always get the feeling that he slept with ariana grande but they just dont admit it.
i absolutely feel that way too - but then she is just so damn innocent and gets all giddy even when he kisses her. If they did, she probably had no clue what was going on, and it was a one time thing. I hope that he did sleep with her, cause his fame is dropping fast. At least he had one hot piece of ass.
headsup1976 his music is getting better way better but his fans are decreasing
headsup1976 Since Mac released Faces I can't stop listening to it. I didn't like it that much at first but now I just can't stop. I love all of his other stuff too. I remember when I first heard Kool aid and frozen pizza a few years ago and have been a fan ever since
hahaha now we know for sure theyre fucking 😩😩
Bela Baby thank god I love tjem
I like the use of "role" for roll, because role is more accurate
He's only 21, successful & super creative.
DOPE interview
He says "like" 1000 times, i would love to count it......
He high as fuck hope he don't ruin himself he's a great talent
I wonder if this video can be liked more times than he says like.
Please do another one;)
macs latest album is a 10/10
At first, I thought his hat said YOLO. I'm glad I was wrong. For Mac and myself...
Honestly in my opinion, his new album was dope a'f.
Most Dope!
I went to one of the macadelic shows,front row,mac seemed happy. So now when i see him in October I'm just gonna be thinking he's depressed throughout the whole thing haha
this is a very historical video
Nobody's iller than Little Mac Miller
He's so ripped, I know it's a cigarette so don't jump on me but you know this dude is twisted. Fckin love Mac
Mac is high and it is hard for him to put his thoughts into coherent sentences but he is very smart and deep. 8:04 Comedians are ironically the most depressed people RIP Robbie Williams & don't be so quick to judge him because from what I've seen he's really sweet and it shouldn't matter his drug of choice. If he only smoked weed, nobody would care if he was high
if he is deep, I would love to see it, because he comes across as such an unintelligent, space case lol
headsup1976 just like every other rapper now a days....... except for phew
Mac has done so many hard drugs? Smhh.. He is half brain dead when it comes to talking.. He said "like" 54 times
He said "like" a million times!
SAY LIKE ONE MORE DAMN TIME!!
He is so cut and he funny
Mac is awesome
yah i agree, i personally love all of his music, depends on the day; i have been digging some macadelic lately though; and (wmwtso).
People who say "like" a lot have problem expressing themselves; as you can see.
The black and white camera make
omg LOL i didnt notice it till you said it, and i think it is a million times lol
i started smoking when i was 6 feet tall and since i saw how tiny miller is i believe that smoking really makes you stop growing lol.
just joking, MacMiller seems very chilled and sympatic to me even if i'm a Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, CCR, ... guy
he said they did it
Ir awsome mac you enspire me so much
I love you man!
like..like...like.. like....... he says that all the time!!
He should go on tour with The Root
Mac Miller - SDS
How the hell does one like watch this interview like its so unbelievable
If you listen to all his work, youll see that this man knew he was going to die. What if his foreshadowing of his own death was the chip on his shoulder> Damn..Literally 20 songs plus he talks about OD ing
Geez, there was a little segment where he said like a lot, but who cares? Mac Miller's tight, if you don't think he's good with language, go listen to the lyrics on his new album
i wish he was more of a talker and this came out more fluently because i would have liked to have understood more than 50% of this interview.
I agree, but i also think that Whack Miller is trash, but im sure im gonna get grief for thinking that. The way he talks makes me think he has down sydrome...
Chase Jansing
ok last time i gotta do this, you did nothing with your life, he is worth 6 million, your opinion literally is invalid i dont get people like you
no its invalid because your bringing negativity to the table as did i see the cycle
your nothing compared to him
so your point is invalid , valid in your mind yes which causes the anguish but to me and everyone else no
You realize using big words does not make you smart if you are not making any sense... I clearly said in the last comment i wasnt comparing. he is a rap artist (if you can actually call him that) and I think he sounds like an idiot. thats my point, enough said. just because you are defending him doesnt make you any better than that douche lol.
Cigarettes equal automatic respect teenage nicotine addiction is so solid
preach it mac miller 🙌
Macs actually a cool dude..he emulate s french alot but hell get there
Lol Mac always has on a damn hoddie or like sweater. Like damn bruh its fuckin summer its hot af
Ya you are the best mac Miller
He says "like" soooo much
YOU should come to kokomo, In., do a concert with some of the "dead" rappers...
This is literally Mac in his prime
Naaaa
@@dontaylucero6521 Macadelic and Watching Movies With The Sound off are when he was at the peak of his skills imo
@@dontaylucero6521 Faces was hard af too
I understand that but I personally feel like his music kept evolving and growing so I felt like the music just kept getting better and better as he matured
Mac Miller doesn't act like Eminem, their skin color has nothing to do with their rapping styles. Mac Miller is the hipster of Hip-hop.
his head is HUGE
did i really just get an advertisement 7:08 seconds into the video?
drinking game: play this video and take a shot for every time he says "like"
homie geekin
Like, like, like, like, feel like, mac miller like, everything like, OMG
Same for me, to much people are stuck on his KIDS mixtape...
HOLY SHIT HE SAID LIKE LIKE 100000000000000000 TIMES OMFG
Like like like like like like uh like
