“The goal here is to be as much of me as possible.”
Showtime has released a new excerpt from its ongoing Rick Rubin docuseries, Shangri-La, featuring an in-studio discussion with the late Mac Miller.
The brief clip opens with Mac programming Rubin’s vintage (and battered) TR-808 drum machine before the producer enters the room to greet him. Following a quick but warm embrace, Miller and Rubin discuss the rapper’s, at the time, soon-to-drop fifth studio album, Swimming. Miller describes the process of writing such a deeply personal document as “scary,” but notes “the goal here is to be as much of me as possible.” Rubin affirms the difficulty of capturing an artist’s most vulnerable moments, but adds that “if you think about, your favorite records do that. The one’s you like that other people make, that’s the shit.”
