Subject: Pittsburgh Home to Rap's 'Great White Hope' ?

Billboard Mag features Picksburgh hometown rapper Mac Miller on its cover.  Mac is a member of that very small fraternity of white rappers but somewhere along the line he has accumulated over 1.1MM Twitter followers.   8)

Mr. Miller hails from Allderdice High School, the storied institution that also produced talents such as rapper Whiz Kalifa, and 1980's porn superstar Richard Pacheco (real name, Howie Gordon and President of Allderdice High School class of 1966).

His rap "Donald Trump" earned him a personal tweet from The Donald himself, who proclaimed Mac as "the next Eminem".

Perhaps Rap is seeing Picksburgh as a hotbed of talent.  East Coast - West Coast - and North Shore.   8)  Maybe I should start rapping under the street name MC-LB...  they could call me "MacPound" for short.    :P

Mac's debut album, "Blue Slide Park", comes out today.  :)

He's performing at UCSB. I was gonna go (cuz I can get backstage) but I listened to him on YouTube and I kinda think he sucks so I declined the offer.

Not even close to the greatness of Eminem.
But still not so bad.
