Instead of waiting it out in the general admission line, I called an audible at the box office and opted to get a fast pass. I knew it wold be a packed house, but had no idea that it would be this packed. I arrived on site about 30 minutes before doors even opened and the line to get in was already 150-200 people deep. Mac has truly carved out a role for himself in the hip-hop world and continues to impress with his clever punchlines and melodic flows. Initially, I think a number of listeners felt that he was riding Wiz’s coat tails to a degree, but he has more than proven any doubters wrong since that time. He went to the same highschool as Wiz Khalifa (Taylor Allderdice HS) and later got a record deal with Rostrum Records, who Wiz was also signed with. His 4th mixtape, KIDS, really got him into the spotlight back in 2010 and since then he’s released mixtape upon mixtape along with 2 critically acclaimed albums, not including his newest release, GOOD:AM.Īs many people are well aware, Mac is a Pittsburgh, PA native. I was only a year removed from college at the time and still made frequent visits back to my old stomping grounds, so this concert was just an excuse to get back to Raleighwood to have a good time with some friends.įlash forward 4 years, and Mac’s stardom has grown exponentially.
4 years ago, he opened for Wiz Khalifa on the Green Carpet Tour at the Red Oak Amphitheatre in Raleigh, NC. I’ve only seen Mac once before, when he was hardly known in the mainstream hip-hop audience.
