The rest of 2012 will find Mac putting out three projects, the details of which are still under wraps. “I’m doing three collaborative projects before the end of this year,” Mac Miller told the Juice. “One is coming out soon, I can’t tell you [about them] but they’re all crazy, they’re all really dope. I think that’s just what I need to do right now, just explore, and expand, and make music with other people.” Last month, the 20 yr. old dropped his “Macadelic” mixtape including Juicy J, Casey Veggies, and Kendrick Lamar. “Macadelic is where I’m at right now. I think that’s what’s great about the mixtape game, it’s from the artist. Just from me to you. We made it, we mixed it, and we put it out the next day, so it’s real raw. That’s just how I love my music. If I didn’t have mixtapes, I don’t think people would’ve known who I was,” he said. At the rate he’s working right now he’s definitely building himself a growing fan base as well as a great legacy.
Much respect to the Juice
Last night Nicki Minaj appeared on a seven-minute segment on ABC’s Nightline and she seemed pretty cool, relaxed, spontaneous and she seems really honest with interviewer Juju Chang as she spoke about what she learned from Madonna, making kid friendly music and why comparisons to Lady Gaga irk her as they are on two different Lane.

Rita Ora stops by the studio performing some materials from her upcoming debut. The Notting Hill Queen says “I’m always nervous to do an acoustic version of my song, and it does sound different,”. Listen to Rock Nation’s first lady as she adds up “It all works out, but it takes us a few rehearsals.” Press play to see Rita performing her tracks stripped back for an intimate and acoustic version.
Kanye West, who dropped the anti-haters anthem “Theraflu” yesterday, is getting flack from the cold and flu relief company of the same name. The song is an occasion for major braggadocio, mentioning the rapper’s love for Kim Kardashian and clout with Roc Nation. However, the title suggests that West is so cold to his nemeses, they need Theraflu to cope.
“We in no way endorse or approve of the references or use of the image and likeness of Theraflu in this manner,” a company representative told TMZ.
Theraflu isn’t the only non-fan of the new cut. In the song’s chorus, West taunts People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals with the line, “Someone tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor.” The organization tells the Wall Street Journal ” . . . what’s dragging on the floor is Kanye’s reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings. He’s a great musician but doesn’t seem to have the fashion sense to design anything more than caveman costumes.” Burn.
The Hit Boy-produced beat behind the controversial “Theraflu” wasn’t originally intended for West. “It was supposed to be for [DJ] Khaled’s album,” Hit Boy tells MTV. “‘Ye was just like, ‘This needs to be out now; this is an urgent record.'”
