Most Dope: The Extraordinary Life of Mac Miller

I really enjoyed this book. Initially I didn’t purchase it and got the book that is endorsed by his estate but after further review decided to purchase this as well. It was so informative and I got to read so many stories of his life and thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn’t put it down and read it so quickly. No other book about him has ever kept my attention so well. It is very well written and takes you through the journey of his life and how hard he worked to become famous. 92 ♾️

This book was purchased for a friend and he said it was one of the best reads he's had of this genre. Very informative and lots of detail

Great book

The 1 star reviews of this book from people who never read it, are undeserved. As a true fan of Mac, I wanted to read about his life and career, not how his music affected an author. Dozens upon dozens of his day ones and musical collaborators went on the record to contribute to this well researched book. They offer true & honest first hand experiences of being part of the inner circle. Other information is taken from interviews, all painstakingly cited throughout.For me, the most interesting revelation in the book was finding out Mac's first girlfriend was the one who ended their relationship for good in June of 2016. Shocking, since she angrily implied on her blog for 2 years that it was the other way around.However, the main focus of the book is what an outstanding human, son, friend and brother Mac was. How he always confronted his detractors and critics with kindness and grace, winning them over with charm instead of revenge. I'm sure much more was shared with the author that he chose not to publish, out of an abundance of respect for Mac and his family.If you want facts about Mac and his legacy, this is the book for you. If you want to cling to the hive mindset that some of his fans have invented since his passing, then I suppose the other book would be your best choice.

The “approved” book by the Miller estate was more or less a attention grabbing diary of the author’s personal anecdotal experience with Mac’s music.This book is a much better experience for those wanting to actually dive into the life and experiences of Mac Miller. I strongly recommend you give this book it’s fair shot and not listen to the review bombers. Cheers.

As a fan of Mac Miller and an avid reader this has been an extraordinary read & well worth it. I purchased both books the one endorsed by mac’s family & this one. And the read by Paul C. 100 percent throws the other book out. This was so well researched & written. I didn’t want to put it down! I recommend 100 percent. He did not deserve the hate he got for this, the amount of time, effort, & research it must have took to write this book astounds me. If you want to pick one, id say this. It saddens me that Mac’s family would send hate too this author simply because they weren’t making profit off this book. I would also like to mention that Paul states at the beginning of this book that he was not working with Mac’s family. So there was no hidden agenda or anything, just a well written book.

PLEASE READ. Before you see these other comments rating this book a 1 star because “Paul wasn’t authorized by malcoms family” this big is well researched, you can tell he supported Mac. Only reason Macs family didn’t want this book to come out is because… money. You know how many fan made documentary’s have been created? But they don’t care about that because they don’t have one coming out soon. They obviously want the money, no one likes to share. It’s gross. If you wanna read a book about macs impact on someone, read donnas book. If you want to read a biography about Mac Miller, read this book. I don’t know what makes Donna so special and why she even wrote a book in the first place. Mac wouldn’t have cared for this crap I can’t see it any other way. So spread the art and words or Mac and continue to appreciate the fact he gifted us all with such a beautiful live. Forget about these material things. You can’t expect Mac art to seep through these books. Cause nothing about it is from Mac other than quotes from him. Most dope!

Could not put this one down. I’ve been on a reading binge lately, the last 3 books I’ve read have been Bio’s and this one was easily the best. Extremely well-done. I only wish there would’ve been more details from 2013-onward, it seems like the majority of the book is Mac’s early years and there is a lot of detail there. Regardless, this is a great book. Paul Cantor does an excellent job, you can tell it was very well-researched. I wish I could erase the book from my memory and read it again for the first time. It’s that good.

Much better then the other book that’s endorsed by the family

Mac miller is my partner’s favourite of all time and this is a great read. Highly recommend

Ja, es ist nicht die offizielle Biographie. Aber die offizielle Biographie ist auch leider absoluter Müll. Die Autorin schreibt eher, wie sie persönlich zu Mac steht. Also eher eine Auto-Biographie über den Autor.Dieses Buch hier ist inoffiziell, aber eine richtige Biographie über Mac Miller. Extrem gut geschrieben und auch in anbetracht von Biographien generell sticht dieses Werk definitiv heraus.Kauft es euch und spart euch das Geld bei der offiziellen. Most Dope. 92' til infinity

Nothing much to say: if you are a real fan of Mac Miller you have to read this book. Cantor made such a great work.

It was a good read. Curious about the life of Malcolm James McCormick many of my questions were answered through this book. I wish it was longer and went deeper into the artist's psyche but I recommend this book to any Mac Miller fan who would like to know more about him. It helps understand more about him and his surroundings and how he became the artist he was.
