I'm doing research about it and the key seems to be Youtube. He made quality stuff and exploded. Then again, there's a lot of quality music that doesn't explode like his did. #confused

And lol @ quality stuff. stuff must not include music. What was he doin, playing hackey sack on youtube like white dudes did in high school
He was the first artist to really use the internet for his fan base. When myspace came out he was the biggest "Myspace" artist. had a few songs out and a mixtape but over a million fans on his myspace page. And he would talk to them and let unknown people produce for him. Show love to fans like that they'll show it back and he got big (for an indie artist)
Im sure being white did help him tho, for that hipster generation like the guy above said.
hes like the nigga to first post a popular thread topic on the IC right as it happens and the shit goes 3K in comments not cause of the t/s but because of the topic. Him being white didn't get him shit. There are whtie rappers that come and go. But mac was the first white overtly hipster weed smoker to have some boom bap weed beats in his music.
Also he was one of the few white rappers that has a geeky yet powerful prescense on the mike. Most white rappers don't have an effective sound vocally that gets people to think they legit. But Mac had that shit too. Cause most white rappers have that im awkward i box lefty sound when they rap that eliminates their popularity from white fans by default.

Him and Wiz hung around the same studio. Both got picked up by Rostrum Records, an independent label owned by someone with some sway in the industry and having a good amount of money. They developed some sort of strategy involving stoner anthems, and pushed out Wiz first. Off the strength of Wiz blowing up, they pushed Mac independently. Where Wiz needed Atlantic Record to get to middle America, Mac didn't because of his appearance.
College aged white people.
Eminem's fall off is undeniable at this point and they want somebody who looks like them in rap. I know white kids who swear he's the greatest. I listened, I dont understand it.
Kinda funny that the white hipster run Pitchfork gave his album 1/10 though

Lil nigga been grindin and rode Wiz buzz. Kids was a awesome mixtape. Best day Ever had some dope shit (she said, dolnad trump, get up) And Macadelic was fire. He is corny sometimes, but also makes some cool music that white chicks and college guys like.
Mac Miller is big in 2012 cause Mac Miller is 2012, he's a little non threatening, jewish, hypebeast, fresh prince of bel air nigga that doesn't give a shit about hip-hop and doesn't know what the word integrity means. He's just having fun not giving a shit just like his teenaged fans.
1. White helps describe why he's cultivated the fan-base he has, but it isn't the sole determinant of his success.
2. Eminem has not fallen off... He continues to sell. Recovery went multi-platinum, and Bad Meets Evil went gold (sold as "Bad Meets Evil" and not "Eminem x Royce da 5'9", which makes a difference in how sales are generated).
3. Other Jewish rappers include MC Serch, Ill Bill, Necro, etc. As dope as they were/are, they have not achieved the mainstream success he has.

Elaborate on this.
Anyway, homie has some dope music, although his album was lame.
The High Life, Kids, and Macadelic all have a good amount of dope shit on it.
i think it has a lot to do with rostrum records and im sure he had the money to promote
i dont really think him being white is a factor cuz yelawolf is white and a way better rapper and sold less than mac miller
