MILLER: Wiz and I did the Post-Gazette Pavilion. But everyone has that hometown venue that it's like, "When I make it" - you know that dream of one day, if I make it - when I make it - and when I make it, I'ma play here. MUHAMMAD: Do you have the ultimate - you might have already accomplished this. Which are my favorite, because it's all people that know every word. Some Europe ones that are around the same. And then we're doing a New York that's 500, another New York one that's 600. So basically it's like the album release shows, which are all intimate venues other than Pittsburgh, which was like a 5,000. MUHAMMAD: Did you start the tour in hometown? But this is my first solid tour that I've had since the Space Migration. I've done shows here and there and spot dates, and I've done little runs. But this is my first tour in two years, really. MUHAMMAD: How often do you perform in Pittsburgh? Cause Pittsburgh doesn't get a lot of stuff like that.

No, we did just a whole thing in Pittsburgh, which was cool. I had a show in Pittsburgh and sold out 5,000, and that was an amazing feeling. Like, less about reading these reviews front-to-back or going through comments and more like just happy to have something out and to be touring. But I find myself just really enjoying the moment. Maybe if it was all negative it would affect me more. It's been like - I find myself - actually, the reception of it doesn't affect me as much.

MILLER: I mean, hey, two years, I forgot too. MILLER: No, you know what it's like? You just jump, and then everything's good.

MUHAMMAD: Is it like Cheers when Norm walks in? It's like, he walks in he's back. It was a little scary at first, but that's. MILLER: Oh, you know, just glad to be back. We spoke about fame, performance and wading through other people's prejudice when you're a rapper who's white.ĪLI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD: Mac Miller in the building. Ali and Mac have known each other for some time, so this interview was a chance for them to reconnect on the other side of some months of internal turmoil and growth the Pittsburgh rapper had to get through. Mac Miller met us in LA, which he had recently left. Note the Beats, Rhymes And Life tattoo on his right wrist.
