Mac Miller is a 19 year old white rapper from Pittsburgh and is climbing the ladder of fame fast. His music is different compared to traditional rappers and rap groups. Mac's music does not include killing, struggles, violence, rape etc. His music is mostly about life in general and even the good in life. Yes, he raps a lot about marijuana, except these types of rappers (Mac) show how the genre is evolving and becoming less destrucive. Mac does not degrade women in his music, and most of the time he is talking about his own life and how grateful he is to have all that he does. I find this music very relaxing and fun to listen to because this type of music relates to everyone. Although Mac Miller still curses and uses drug references, his music is not nearly as destructive, and detrimental to people and children when compared to the music of Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, N.W.A, 50 Cent, Eminem etc. Furthermore, Mac Miller is a good example of how rap and hip-hop music is taking a step in the right direction. Yes, there is still some explicit aspects, but Mac's music is a step towards rappers making happier music, and music that EVERYONE not just "Gangstas" and "Thugs" can relate to. Check out Mac Miller's New Mixtape "Best Day Ever" and hear first hand what i'm talking about!
