As 90s babies most of us can relate when it comes to Hip-Hop. Although we all didn’t get to see the industry legends’ at the height of their career, we did witness the their greatness at some point. Their lyricism. Their story telling techniques. Their craft. Three reasons why 90s babies miss 90s Hip-Hop. While this is true, as millennials we always look ahead of the game. Creating this generation of artists like Mac Fame who transform artistically to bridge the generational gap.


According to Los Angeles rapper Mac Fame, you have two choices: find a way or make one.
To Fame, Its about mixing the old with the new. Taking the music and sound that people loved from the past and making them new for a younger audience. Music is more than just witty punch lines and a hot beat. It’s about the lyrics, the story it tells and how it makes you feel. Causing a disconnect making it difficult for aspiring artist who are trying to bridge the gap between genuine dope lyricism and mass commercial appeal. Fame makes it look easy though. By taking the classic metaphors and lyricism of the 90s and mixing it with a catchy phrase or hook with a smooth laid back sound. Feeling most at peace with himself when in front of a microphone the San Fran native left the violence of the West in exchange for a college education in the South.

Fame intends on merging lyrical content of the old with the commercial success of the new. It’s genuinely all about the music for him. Fame is here to prove that the music truly can speak for itself. He states.

“Music is a form of expression and everyone has an opinion. I dont need to hype my music up, it just needs to be heard.”

Check out the written interview below with the San Francisco lyricist, Mac Fame to find out more.

Your track “Hip-Hop Birthed Me” is dope and has an authentic east coast hip hop beat, considering you reside in L.A. what made you choose that beat instead of a more west coast sound?

A good friend of mine in Houston was putting together a project of artist over classic hip hop beats, he asked that i do that Tupac track, so I was like “cool, its a pac track, I got that”..long story short the project getting scrapped, and I and those i had had let hear it at this point, all liked the song, So I dropped it. why not.”
