Malcolm James Mccormick

In 2018, the young generation of rap culture suffered several irreparable losses at once: in June XXXTentacion and Jimmy Wopo were shot on the same day, and in September it became known about the death of Mac Miller, the most promising hip-hop artist of the 2010s, a guy with tragic biography. He began composing tracks at the age of 14, and by the age of 26 he had 5 albums, each of which hit the top 4 of the American Billboard 200 chart.

Mac Miller's real name is Malcolm James McCormick. He was born January 19, 1992 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of architect Mark McCormick and photographer Karen Myers. His father was a Christian, and his mother was Jewish, the boy was brought up according to the Jewish rules: he passed the bar mitzvah ritual, annually withstood Ten days of repentance. Miller called himself "the coolest Jewish rapper."

The boy did not grow up in Pittsburgh itself, but in the suburb of Point Breeze. Went to Winchester Thurston Prep School, then Taylor Allderdice High School. From the age of 6 he began to master the piano, later he independently studied the guitar, bass guitar and drums. In high school, Mac Miller focused on his rapper career:

Since childhood, Malcolm dreamed of becoming a singer, and at the age of 14 he chose rap. The Pittsburgh youth knew him as EZ Mac. In 2007, the young man released a solo mixtape "But My Mackin 'Ain't Easy", and a year later the song "How High" by the hip-hop group "The Ill Spoken" was released, in which Malcolm played with a friend under the pseudonym Beedie.

In 2009, 2 more collections were released - "The Jukebox: Prelude to Class Clown" and "The High Life". The young man recorded all the tracks himself, and for promotion he used social networks - first Facebook, then Twitter and Instagram. At the same time, McCormick took part in the battle of Pittsburgh rappers "Rhyme Calisthenics" and entered the top four.

A year later, a breakthrough occurred in the musician's career. Rostrum Records President Benji Greenberg met Malcolm while recording the Wiz Khalifa album at ID Labs in Pittsburgh. Greenberg had heard a lot about a promising young performer, so he gave him a couple of tips about writing lyrics and about music.

The president of "RR" did not have the desire to take on the creative education of the future rap star until the 4th collection of Malcolm "KIDS (Kickin 'Incredibly Dope Shit)", inspired by Larry Clark's film "Kids" (1995), appeared on the Web. Later in an interview, Greenberg noted that he "drew attention to the maturity of the lyrics and the awareness of the music." At that time McCormick had already received offers from record companies, but he signed a contract with "RR" so as not to move to another city.

The first experience of working in the studio was the re-recording of "KIDS" in August 2010, already under the pseudonym Mac Miller. The success of the mixtape was enough for the debut Incredibly Dope Tour to sell out.

In March 2011, Mac Miller's 5th collection "Best Day Ever" was released, which was downloaded by over a million users. The track "Donald Trump" became a hit, hitting the 80th line of the US Billboard Hot 100, and the video for the song scored 83 million views on YouTube.

Mac Miller's debut album, Blue Slide Park, was released on November 5 of the same year. Music critics reacted coolly to it, calling it "hermetic", but listeners liked the music: in the first week they sold out 145 thousand copies, another 25 thousand - in pre-sale. The album peaked at # 1 on the Billboard 200.

Two years later, in June 2013, the second studio album, Watching Movies With the Sound Off, was released, which Mac Miller called "introspective and very personal." The name is explained by the fact that during the recordings of the tracks, the rapper did not turn off the TV set in the studio, but put it on silent mode. The collection took the third place on the Billboard 200 and sold 102,000 copies in its first week.

In the same year, Mac Miller founded the REMember Music label, named after a deceased friend. The first recordings under the label were Vince Staples' mixtapes "Odd Future" and "Stolen Youth".

In January 2014, Mac Miller terminated the contract with Rostrum Records, and in October REMember Music entered into an agreement with Warner Bros. Records ”for $ 10 million. In August 2015, the third studio album“ GO: OD AM ”was released under these labels. It peaked at # 4 on the Billboard 200.

A year later, in September 2016, the 4th studio album "The Divine Feminine" was released, in which Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande, who at that time was the girlfriend of Mac Miller, took part. Together, the couple recorded the track "My Favorite Part", later releasing a romantic video.

In August 2018, the album "Swimming" was released, which was destined to be the last. The collection consists of pessimistic tracks, the main of which is "Self Care", in which Mac Miller sings:

Then the rapper was going through a painful breakup with Ariana Grande and took drugs. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. Snoop Dogg, whom Miller met on the set of Scary Movie 5, took part in the recording.

Malcolm has an older brother, Miller McCormick. He designed the cover art for Blue Slide Park and Watching Movies With the Sound. The second work topped the list of the best album covers of 2013.

During the 2013 Macadelic Tour, Mac Miller personally admitted to using "purple syrup" (a mixture of two light drugs) in an effort to deal with stress. In November of the same year, he underwent a rehabilitation course. The rapper later talked about this experience in an interview:

In August 2016, Mac Miller's personal life improved: he began dating singer Ariana Grande. The couple once admitted that they already had a relationship in high school. The novel lasted 4 years, until April 2013.

The world christened Miller and Grande the most beautiful couple, and in the photo the lovers shone with happiness. The rapper dedicated the album The Divine Feminine to the girl. It seemed that this union would be strong, but in May 2018 the musicians broke up. Fans bombarded Grande with angry messages. In response to ill-wishers, the singer posted a post on Twitter:

According to the singer, Miller started taking drugs again in 2018, and this was not the result of the breakup, but his reason.

At noon on September 7, 2018, Mac Miller's friend called 911, because the rapper had little perception of reality, looked emaciated - with a height of 170 cm, he weighed only 50 kg. Even before the ambulance arrived, the young man died. The alleged cause is a drug overdose. The guy was 26 years old.

Mack Miller's grave is located at Homewood Cemetery in Pittsburgh. The funeral was held in accordance with Jewish tradition.
