Da Brakes Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 http://thewellversed.com/2011/03/17/exclusive-mac-miller-preps-project-with-dj-jazzy-jeff/“I remember when I was putting seven people in a venue in Pittsburgh and they were laughing me off the stage.” Before reaching the age of majority, Mac Miller has more fans than the average man. The Pittsburgh rhyme sayer is already having a hell of a 2011 with his selection to XXL’s coveted Freshmen Class and an upcoming tour with Wiz Khalifa. But it’s a collaborative project with a hip hop pioneer that has the 19-year-old excited these days. “I haven’t told anybody yet, but me and Jazzy Jeff are about to do a project,” Miller revealed exclusively to TWV on the red carpet at the MTVU Woodie Awards. “Straight hip hop stuff that’ll be coming out in the summer.” If Miller has his way, Mr. Townes won’t be the only big name on the project. ”We’re trying to get as many pioneers in hip hop involved…I’m excited because this younger generation—I want to give them that. I want them to know who Jazzy Jeff is, who DJ Premier is.” Hip hop is often thought of as a young man’s game and in an industry that—save for the south—doesn’t always give its pioneers the respect they deserve, Miller loves the idea of being a bridge between a younger generation of fans and the men and women who inspired him to get in the game in the first place. “I think it’s cool,” he says with a smile. “Everyone is just making music. Whether you’re ten or 40. The Internet makes it possible for them to go back like I did. I wasn’t of age, when I got into hip hop I went and researched guys like Big L. that’s what I want to show my fans. I’ve had fans hit me up and say “I just listened to your **** and I went and listened to A Tribe Called Quest, they’re great!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turntable Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) For all of you who been living under a rock - We are talking about somebody with a huge international hype, who got around 15 Million views by spiiting over a Lord Finesse beat. This kid didn't even sign a real deal yet, but he's having soldf out tours around the world and is hanging and working with Premo, Just Blaze, Jazzy Jeff, Buckwild, Lord Finesse and many more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m8D2SFxVw4&feature=related Edited October 1, 2011 by Turntable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alex Marques Posted November 12, 2011 Members Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Mac Miller has some heat behind his lyrics. he just needs to drop some fire, and maybe if it had a Will Smith remix, i figure some blog sites would pick it up and do some more coverage on Jazz and Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
