Mac Miller has reportedly signed a $10 million deal with Warner Bros. Records to incorporate his REMember imprint upstart into the larger label. After releasing his mixtape Faces independently earlier this year, Mac Miller will now release his own music as well as “sign and develop new artists” through REMember/Warner Bros. according to FADER.
“Warner is the most independent thinking company I met with,” the Watching Movies with the Sound Off emcee said. “It is a partnership and now I can focus on building my label REMember through music and let them handle everything I don’t like doing. Nothing will change in how I do things.”
Miller also pointed out of the label, “They have Prince.”
Shortly after the announcement, Miller took to Twitter to promote a new song.
In January 2013, Complex reported that Miller was on the verge of establishing an independent label with close friend Quentin “Q” Cuff.
“The name stems from a friend of Mac’s that passed away, Reuben Mitrani,” Q said. “REM in REMember is capitalized, those were his initials.”

DAMN SHUN!! THATS A BETTER DEAL THAN RICKY AND MMG HAVE. MAC MIZZIE IS GONNA LEAVE OFFICER RICKY IN THE DUST ON THIS YEARS FORBES LIST.
SALUTE TO MALCOM MCCORMICK, A TRUE YOUNG BOSS MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS THE SELF PROCLAIMED BIGGEST BAWSE AT THE AGE OF 22!
The difference is that Mac Miller only made as much as de did on that list while Rozay made a lot more yet could only report his music earnings.
lmao what?
if it was only music earnings ross wouldn’t have made the forbes list this year lmao
only reason hes on there is because of his other ventures
His other ventures totale at least 20 more million. They just were not related to music.
we dont believe you you need more people
you wish ross was a young OG jewish mastermind like mac millionaire
“His other ventures totale at least 20 more million. They just were not related to music.”
lmao do you know his plug?
wheres the proof?
I called forbes and they told me.
i really called them and they told me you’re a lying faggot
forbes calls everyone on the list to let them know theyre putting them on there with the amount forbes estimates they made that year…
they have the chance to confirm or dispute it…n your mans ross confirmed it
Ross said it was bullshit.
Ross also said the haters photoshopped his head and that he was never a C.O. too
While Chief Keef is getting dropped from the majors, Mac Miller is inking 10 million dollar label deals to put his crew on.
For someone who proclaims the independent life, this is him selling out. Is it because he can’t even reach rick ross’s sales? Is that money from that ariana grande single drying up? Mac Miller will be dropped after a flop album while losing his fans in the process.
any indie artist would be a fool to turn down a 10 million dollar label deal and the chance to retain all creative control.
Ross wishes he had a deal like Mac Miller. Nigga dont even got 1 gold record and he makes the same amount of money that Ross does without 25 chicken restaurants or endorsements from Ciroc and Reebok….
Miller ain’t retaining control over everything. Plus there’s people that would preserve intergrity then selling out. At least Ross did it major from day one.
Plus Forbes only takes into account music related sales. Miller has his music while Ross has wingstop, ciroc, and other businesses not related to music. Dr Dre’s counted since they were headphones.
more lies from a delusional stan!
when Rick Ross was 22 he working in prison for $7 an hour searching drug dealers anuses for the drugs he raps about selling!
Salute a real young boss Mac Mizzle. When he’s 40 like Ross he would be billionaire status.
Mac Miller ain’t going to be a billionaire. He is no boss and his efforts to be mainstream is going to blow up in his face.
he got a show on mvt that’s not mainstream?
Which no one watched.
ooooo he signed to a major now so he sold out
oooo he did a song with so n so he sold out
“selling out” and “classic” should be banned from any hip hop conversation
he dropped 2 indy albums the first one doing better than the last…he had gone as far as he could independently n now he was able to sign a record deal in his favor because hes proven himself as a money making entity
but continue to talk about how he lost his “intergrity” and sold out, you should get your feelings out instead of keeping them bottled up
For an artist that shunned majors, this is really a cop out. Plus his second indie album disappointed in sales after the first did ok. He couldn’t live with declining sales so he sold out and went major in an effort to get that non existent gold album.
he never “shunned” anyways he was just loyal to Rostrum to put him on and gave him a chance. He had no reason to go the major route at that point and now he’s ready to move up to the next next. Salute a young jewish white boss making boss moves in a game full of thugs and homos.
He still was disloyal to the fans of independent crap.
He wasn’t being disloyal to anyone. Also, people obviously watched his show if it got two seasons and has a third one coming up.
A side note: Macklemore wasn’t really independent either, he was signed to Warner bros and they had him pretend to be indie. While he was lying to his fans about the indie movement, WB resorted to payloa to keep his songs on the air way longer than necessary plus buying his albums.
more lies from a jealous groupie mad these white boys selling more records and stacking more paper independently than your fav rappers on a major
How do you think his songs were played on the radio? They signed a deal with warner to push them out.
i have never once heard one mac miller song on any radio stations
I was referring to macklemore.
Warner had nothing to do with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ breakout success.
Warner owns ADA and Macklemore was signed to that label. Then they made a deal for warner to push his singles on radio. Dude isn’t really independent. He doesn’t even appeal to hiphop fans but the pop fans that eat up crap.
^^^ They did a deal with Warner for the singles…the album was released independently
you know how you heard thrift shop n the city cant hold us on the radio all day? warner
Not really as ADA helped distribute it. ADA is owned by warner.
BEEN SAYIN THAT 4EVA THE ALBUM SAT FOR 2 YRS & SIGNIN A PRESS & DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH WARNER BLEW IT UP
no that thrift shop video went viral then the song about teh gays blew up
That’s the power of payola. If you keep pushing that shit, they will be forced to listen to it. Macklemore sucks.
You don’t even know what payola is. People wanted to hear Macklemore’s songs on the radio, no payola. Also, Macklemore doesn’t suck.
No one I talked too ever indicated a desire to even hear macklemore in the first place. Macklemore does suck. Even his dickriders were saying he should not have won best rap album.
Maybe it’s because you don’t get out much. Macklemore doesn’t suck, eapecially when there’s wack rappers likeYoung Thug, Rich Homie Quan, etc.
I get out plenty. There was a club that tried to play macklemore yet they had to change the song halfway because there were numerous boo’s. What’s wrong with young thug?
You made all of that shit up. Quit making up fake stories. Also, Young Thug sucks.
i see joey baddass getting a deal like this soon to
he not going for cheap
joey badass hasn’t sold shit yet mac has two albums that both did 300,000+
hes got a couple years to go before a labels will be willing to put that kind of money up
Ross also said the haters photoshopped his head and that he was never a C.O. too
Ross was speaking in character that day. When ross said he considered forbes bullshit, he was in his regular william roberts self that day.
What’s the difference between Ross speaking in character and speaking as himself? He still lies.
Ross makes statements based on lyrics, robert makes statements based on real life.
Either way, Ross is still talking about the same shit. There’s no difference, so that character excuse is not good enough.
Yet you give eminem a pass even though he’s talked about killing his wife and raping other women. Keep in mind he was in character too yet you give shady a pass but give ross flak.
Ross doesn’t have a fucking character, so you can’t compare him to Eminem. You always go off topic with everything.
Ross is a character of roberts.
No, Ross is a rap name, not a character.
This is the customary upgrade for an artists wishing to establish his own imprint and evolve in the industry.
Forming a partnership with a major to establish your own label gives you the building, the machine, an office and a staff. J Cole made a similar deal with Interscope.
Now with his REMember label Mac Miller can sign and developed his own artists and take his career to the next level and put his people on in the process.
Benjy Grinberg groomed Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifah very well because they both bossed up at an early age and are getting the lions share of their revenue instead of getting raped with 360 deals and grimy contracts.
bruthadee LOLOLOL
to add on…
The thing that surprises me the most about this move is that his boy Wiz was on WB way back in the day and then bailed so he could be Indie again.
Looks like it worked out cool because Taylor Gang Records is doing well and have distribution and a solid roster for an Indie.
Slipknot (Roadrunner) 100-110k
Neil Diamond (Capitol) 70-80k
Logic (Def Jam) 65-70k
T.I. (Grand Hustle/Columbia) 65-70k
Little Big Town (Capitol Nashville) 30-35k
Pentatonix (RCA) 28-32k
Annie Lennox (Blue Note) 24-27k
Aretha Franklin (RCA) 21-24k
Susan Boyle (SYCO/Columbia) 16-18k
TIP BOMBING BIG!!
There’s still Slipknot fans? They suck. And good numbers for Logic.
65-70k isn’t a good look for logic. That’s why TIP’s number is hiliariously bad. Because TIP fell off while logic at least is starting bombing out of the gate.
It is a good look for Logic considering that he didn’t get that much promo. This ain’t a bomb.
Either way, Logic bombed. He should have sold at least 100k. Tip’s numbers are even more embarrasing because he got tons of promo and had the whole industry featured on his paperwork album. Not to mention he was moving over 500k at one point.
Tip fell off after he was arrested. Simple as that.
Logic didn’t bomb. His numbers are good.
Yes logic is bombing.
Your silence of tip is basically you admitting tip bombed.
No, Logic is not bombing. I don’t even care about T.I.
i never heard 1 logic song in my life cant believe he’s outselling TI who has singles with iggy, pharrell, skylar grey and young thug
who the fuck is logic and why is he sellin 65k goddamn
He wasn’t being disloyal to anyone. Also, people obviously watched his show if it got two seasons and has a third one coming up.
I never heard of that show until now.
Because you don’t watch TV.
I get out living life instead. Working hard, playing hard, seducing ladies.
That’s a lie because if it were true, you wouldn’t be here.
I have a nightime job announcing the DJ at a local bar. My job is to party with them. I get paid decently.
Enough with the lies. You know that ain’t true. Get out the basement and get a life.
I have a fucking life. How about you get yours bitch.
You obviously don’t have a life if you spend your time here trolling.
Your life sucks too if you spend your time here doing the same shit.
You’re the only one trolling.
I really respected mac miller’s quest for independence. So for him to sell out like that disappoints me. Macklemore at least keeps his shit independent.
How did Mac sell out? He didn’t.
He said in interviews he wanted to be independent for life. That’s how he sold out. I can’t respect any nigga that decides to sell out for his own personal gain.
No, he didn’t.
You wasn’t a former mac miller fan like I was.
I’ve always been a Mac Miller fan. You were never a fan.
stop acting like either of these d bags are good at making music. they arent at all. music so watered down these days and people will accept anything they hear on the radio/mtv. Turn that shit OFF and from your own opinions. 2 of the weakest rappers (if they can even be called that) in the game!
People get confused and think he signed a solo recording contract to drop albums, he signed a partnership to establish his own record label. He will still have artistic control but he will also have all of the extra resources that a a major can afford him to help him build his label and brand worldwide.
THAT AIN’T CONFUSION THEY DUMB AND DON’T WANT 2 READ
Pretty much, LOL, I doubt they are even here for the music related info, they just want somebody to interact with them. Sad shit.
IT REALLY IS
LOT OF THEM GROWING UP TO BE SHELTERED MISINFORMED INTERNET LOSERS AS HIGH SCHOOL GRADS WITH 5TH GRADE EDUCATIONS BECAUSE OF NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
This isopod for him, I like this kid, one thing he keeps it real doesn’t act like someone he’s not, that goes really far these days with the corrections officers and gay transvestites in the game. He is still independent it’s like cash money’s deal with universal, they just handle the business and distribution side of things
i really hate this jew craccka.
dont hate my brother, you gotta salute a young jewish OG. All hail Mac Millionzaire the biggest boss we’ve seen this far.
Haters gonna hate!
Look in the mirror and do something about your life than you would respect yourself!
Big gucci never sells out he allways stays signed to the streets. These white boys can never truly appreciate a real nigga like Big Gucci.
Big Gucci will allways stay loyal to the streets and make music for real niggas.
aight..?
Guwop use to be on a major label briefly and that was WB. I see fan boys still have no intelligence at all.
This kid is smart man..i’d like to be smart independent minded like him straight up. Not dumb like a lot of these rappers. Mac is living out his dreams and fulfilling
