Mr. Carmack x EarMilk.Com Interview

By Isabel Kim. Not only because his beats are otherworldly, practically indescribable and inexplicable, but because the success he has achieved this past year was not the result of media blasts nor major label backing, but was simply the honorable outcome of true passion, hard work, and most importantly, his rare, raw talent. To think that a little over a year ago, he was a dishwasher in Hawaii.

Now, he is at the forefront of the hip-hop and electronic scene, affiliated with innovative labels and collectives like TeamSupreme, Soulection, and Mad Decent. Isabel Kim was fortunate enough to catch the busy guy at HARD and chat for a little bit. That is, after spending five tireless hours trying to find him in a park that happened to be the Bermuda Triangle for cell service. What I'm trying to say: So worth it!

Carmack carries a sincere and charismatic energy, and despite my brief time with him, I could tell he is one of the most down-to-earth guys. He is just doing what he loves, bullshit aside, and we love him for it. Carmack is on tour now with Djemba Djemba, so mark your calendars! Check out the short promo video below, get tickets, and get excited.

EARMILK: So, how was your HARD experience?
Mr. Carmack: Good, good... festivals are interesting.

EM: Is it what you expected?
MC: Yeah, it was definitely. I wish I went to HARD in like 2007/2008.

EM: What is the weirdest thing a fan has said, or the weirdest experience you've had with a fan?
MC: Umm… A girl told me to sign her tits.

EM: Did you do it?
MC: Yeah, of course. I’d do anything for my fans.

EM: I saw that your birthday just passed this week, how did you celebrate it?
MC: I spent 14 hours in the studio, and I smoked an eighth of weed.

Mr. Carmack x Reddit Interview

I was planning to post this Reddit Interview by Mr. Carmack since I started this site, but I haven’t had the time for it, but I finally managed to get all the questions that fans asked him, I also added only the Important questions and answers from the Interview, you can check it out below.

“whats up guys! its mr. carmack, ask me anything. yooo I just wanted to say hello, thanks for the support, and reach out here: I go by mr. carmack for my releases, but friends call me carmack, or aaron. whatever. A while ago i seen a post here that was called "sunday introduction" and i was taken aback at how intricate and in-depth his post was about my work, and i vowed if i ever do something like an AMA it would be on the same subreddit that man posted on. so, here i am! questions, complaints, suggestions welcomed, or not”

What was is it like working with Pharell?
nothing short of amazing. when i stepped up, the man came up with a verse, bridge and a hook so catchy i was repeating it for weeks, in 15 minutes! all with a contagious swag everyone in the room seemed to enjoy. people aren't that consistently held in high regard for nothing, and his methods are solid

Just like pretty much everyone on this sub I'm a huuuge fan, have a few questions to ask.
1 - Any information about the collab with TDE?
2 - Why is the sound quality on Dimebag not optimal? I've bought all of your previous stuff but I don't feel like spending 10$ on it, unless you lost the better versions of the songs that are on it.
3 - Will we see you in Europe in 2014?
4 - What is in your opinion the best song (or songs) you've made?
5 - Who is in your eyes the most underrated (trap) artist?
1 - No
2 - Ah, I'm still looking for some good versions, asking friends to help with tracks and such. once i have an all 320 zip file ready it'll be available for free. it will take a while, i only have about 6 of them. plus it was only meant to be a grab bag lofi tape to listen to in shit stereos with tanned girls in the back seat
3 - not sure! if not this year then before i die
4 - Shroomeries is my favorite one to listen to. theres about 25 verses from amateur and professional rappers in my computer, all of them very profound in their own way
5 - skrillex! though i want him to make more melodic stuff

What advice could you give to a young homie tryna get into trap production/Djing? Where do i start? Thanks bruh
start with yourself. read, get into uncomfortable relationships, be open to shit jobs and long hours, respect everything and everyone that crosses your path. when you feel you got a handle on that, then pick up your laptop and write about it. also, take a introductory music class. if your in grade school join the band
