Mac Miller Memorial To Be Held At Pittsburgh’s Blue Slide Park

Pittsburgh, PA – Although fans of Mac Miller have already started celebrating the late musician’s life at Pittsburgh’s Blue Slide Park, an official memorial is planned for Tuesday (September 11).

On the Facebook event page, the organizers of the event explained their intention behind the memorial.

“We would like to bring the city together in full force for this legendary icon,” the description reads. “Mac deserves to be sent off with an evening of celebrating his life, discussing his struggles, and remembering his stories; most importantly for his iconic work that brought joy into the lives of everybody who listened.”

Miller’s debut studio album, 2011’s Blue Slide Park, was named after the Pittsburgh park where he spent a lot of his time growing up. In a 2013 interview, he admitted the criticism the project received was one of the reasons he started using promethazine, which is also known as lean.

“I love lean; it’s great,” he said at the time. “I was not happy and I was on lean very heavy … I was so fucked up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn’t even look at me the same. I was lost.

“A lot of the reviews were more on me as a person. To be honest, that was even worse. You’re 19, you’re so excited to put out your first album, you put it out—and no one has any respect for you or for what you did.”

Miller died on Friday (September 7) of a suspected drug overdose at his home in the San Fernando Valley. While conducting their investigation, police reportedly said the house was wiped clean of any drug paraphernalia.

An official toxicology report is pending.

Kanye West Says "Watch The Throne 2" Coming Soon

Twitter – JAY-Z and Kanye West have been embroiled in a long-standing cold war for nearly two years. But on Saturday (September 8), ‘Ye tweeted that a sequel to the Hip Hop super duo’s 2011 Watch The Throne album is on its way.

“throne2 coming soon,” he wrote.

However, the fact ‘Ye doesn’t mention Hov’s name is suspect. The bad blood between the two started to boil in 2016 when Kanye insinuated Jay was a bad friend during a concert in Seattle.

A month later, he called out Jay and his wife Beyoncé mid-rant at a Sacramento show.

From there, Hov went on to diss Kanye multiple times on last year’s 4:44.

In an interview with Rap Radar last August, Hov revealed the reason behind his rift with Kanye but still referred to him as his “little brother.”

“What really hurt me is you can’t bring my kids and my wife into it,” he said. “Kanye’s my little brother. He’s talked about me a hundred times. He made a song called ‘Big Brother.’ We’ve gotten past bigger issues, but you brought my family into it. Now, that’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem.

“He know it’s a problem ’cause me and him would have been talked about it. We would have been resolved our issues, but he know he crossed the line.”

Perhaps the two have reconciled or it’s possible Jay doesn’t have anything to do with a Watch The Throne sequel.

Whatever the case, Kanye is clearly cooking something up. We’ll just have to wait.

Thundercat Remembers His "Very Rare" Friend Mac Miller

Los Angeles, CA – Thundercat and the late Mac Miller were extremely close. Not only were they frequent collaborators but they were also longtime friends. The Los Angeles-bred musician was on his way back from North Carolina to see Miller right before he died.

“Hurts even more today knowing I was coming home to see him,” he tweeted on Saturday (September 8).

Over the years, Thundercat contributed to several of Miller’s albums, including 2013’s Live From Space, 2014’s Faces, 2015’s GO:OD AM and — his most recent — 2018’s SWIMMING. 

In fact, Thundercat plays bass on one of the first singles released from SWIMMING called “What’s The Use?”

Miller returned the favor and appeared on Thundercat’s 2017 solo project, Drunk. Most recently, they teamed up for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series, which was released last month.

But beyond that, the two talented artists spent time just playing around and doing what friends do.

“A friend like Mac is very rare,” he tweeted. “I felt like he cared about me not just as a musician, but as a real friend. The kind of friendship you can’t make up.

“We shared everything, laughed at everything, you don’t find that type of love very often. He made me feel less crazy.”

He added, “To know Mac was definitely to love him. Hands down one of thee sincerest people I’ve met in my life.”

HipHopDX reached out to Thundercat who is understandably reeling from Miller’s unexpected death. Thundercat was scheduled to tour the country with Miller this fall as part of the SWIMMING Tour alongside J.I.D. It was supposed to kick off in San Francisco on October 27.

“If anything, just [let people know] I loved him with all my heart,” he said. “I never took any photos of us because I didn’t want to disturb reality with him. I regret it deeply. I feel like NPR actually captured it.”

Miller will clearly be missed by all those who loved him — friends, family and fans alike.

Check out more of Thundercat’s tweets and photos below and revisit the Tiny Desk Concert above.

“I’ve let a lot shit slide!” she begins. “I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, fuck up the way I eat! You’ve threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop fuckin with them!! I let you talk big shit about me!! I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!!

“But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are fuckin off!! I’ve worked to hard and come too far to let anybody fuck with my success!!!!”

She concluded by calling out Nicki for being nothing more than a studio gangster.

“Bitches talk all that shit in they raps but in real life they pussy!! This shit really is for entertainment!!”

In a video obtained by TMZ, it’s difficult to make sense of the melee but Cardi can be heard yelling in her thick New York accent, “Bitch, come here. Bitch, come here” as security jumps in to action.

She continues with, “Keep fuckin’ playin’ with me bitch, keep fuckin’ playin’. I’ll fuck your ass up” as she chucks one of her shoes at the intended target.

Once she’s finally led away, she screams, “Let them step on my daughter again, let them step on my daughter again.”
