I met up with Mac Miller in the lobby of the Bowery Hotel the day after Colbert with a plan to wander around and talk shop in lower Manhattan. It becomes clear that Mac isn’t anxious about playing the room. Colbert tickets sell out well ahead of the guest announcements it’s possible that no one in the audience knew they were seeing Mac, or the episode’s flamboyant first guest Nicki Minaj, until days before, if at all. Inside the room, a sea of shiny, bald heads suggests that the crowd is considerably older than the late-stage teens and 20-somethings that comprise Mac Miller’s fan base. After trying several crisp shirt and pant combos, Miller ends up onstage in his publicist’s sunset-hued Stussy sweatshirt, where he runs through an airtight performance of his new album Swimming’s funk-rap highlight “Ladders,” backed by the stellar house band, Jon Batiste and Stay Human. The Pittsburgh rapper - normally relaxed and easy-going - is growing wiry from anticipation.
Wardrobe deliberations go on longer than you’d expect and the room is making everyone loopy. It’s a windowless white space with two extraneous doors that don’t appear to move or lead anywhere like a Scooby-Doo trap room. He’s pacing, running scales and planning outfits in the Late Night With Stephen Colbert green room during a Monday taping where he’s the musical guest.
We are revisiting it in honor of the posthumous release of his album, Circles.
This profile was reported in mid-August of that year and was originally published the day before his death. Photo: Christaan Felber for Vulture Mac Miller died on Septem.
