“#Mac Miller\u2019s Family Condemns Unauthorized Biography<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Mac Miller\u2019s family has issued a new statement condemning the release of a forthcoming book on the rapp<\/a>er called Most Dope: The Extraordinary Life of Mac Miller<\/em>, written by Paul Cantor. \u201cThis book is not authorized or endorsed by Malcolm\u2019s family and has been written by a writer with whom Malcolm did not have a relationship,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

It continues: \u201cFurthermore, the writer had no meaningful access to those that were closest to Malcolm\u2014friends, family, collaborators etc. In fact, the writer of this book was made aware at the outset of the process of writing this book that the family and friends of Malcolm were uncomfortable with him authoring this biography, yet he chose to proceed against our polite insistence that he not do disservice to Malcolm\u2019s legacy through writing a book without legitimate primary sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement goes on to criticize Cantor and the publisher, Abrams Press, for setting the release date of Most Dope<\/em> for January 18, the day before Mac Miller\u2019s birthday. \u201cWe have been consistently disappointed by the author and publisher\u2019s decision to pursue this book given their full understanding of our discomfort with the circumstances under which it was authored, but utilizing Malcolm\u2019s birthdate as a marketing tool is exploitative and incredibly disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Miller\u2019s family urges \u201cthose that wish to support Malcolm and his legacy to abstain from purchasing this new book\u201d and instead support another forthcoming book on the late rapper, The Book of Mac<\/em>, written by Donna-Claire Chesman, in which the estate was involved.
