Interviews

For Episode 16 of "A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal," we hit the road and headed on down to Brooklyn to visit our good friend Mac Miller at his new apartment. This episode is both hilarious and candid: we talked in great detail about his time detoxing at Rick Rubin's house, why he called Rick from Europe in the first place, and the new path he's taken in his life. Mac shared never-before-heard stories about his unreleased projects with Pharrell, Nas and Cam'ron. We discussed meeting Eminem in Japan, taking the subway around New York City, how Ab-Soul used to stay at Mac's LA house for weeks at a time, how he courted each record label when he was a free agent, that his song ended up on Travis Scott's new album, and so much more!

This episode of A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome our friend and neighbor Peter Rosenberg over to the apartment to talk getting cut from the freshman basketball team, dealing with a girlfriend's ex showing up to prom, and why people don't respect what he's done for NYC hip-hop. We discuss the one benefit of going through a health scare at our local supermarket, why Noisemakers didn't work out, and what he really thinks of the "podcast wars." Peter gets into wrestling, Nardwuar, Odd Future, Jim Jones, being one of the longest-tenured jocks at Hot 97, and so much more!

You know that whenever we get together with our friend Curren$y, it's the most hilarious conversation. So when New Orleans' own Spitta stopped by the Upper West Side this week to promote his new album Canal Street Confidential, he burned one down, ate some snacks, and spoke his mind. We discussed the genesis of his friendship with Wiz Khalifa, going to middle school with Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg during the No Limit days, meeting Rick Ross in the Dominican Republic, the Derek Jeter gift package, New Orleans lingo, his early plans to be an elementary school teacher, and so much more!

Lil Uzi Vert stopped by the Upper West Side this week, along with his collaborators DJ Drama and Don Cannon! We talked with Uzi about A$AP Yams, Young Thug, Steve Aoki, as well as why he hates Michael B. Jordan. We also discussed touring with Fall Out Boy, being friends with Wiz Khalifa, and why hoverboards are over. And since we had Drama and Cannon were in the building, we had to ask about aux cord DJs, the Xans plug, and Philly vs. Atlanta.
