Okay CRAZY story. Back in 2019 I worked at Urban Outfitters in Brea Mall, California. Thought about copping Goldlink’s new album at the time, Diaspora, on vinyl. He sends these tweets about Mac Miller and I swear on my life, I show up to work the next day, this man’s album is ON SALE 😂😂 50% off.

[@jbmp1390]

Addiction is a DISEASE bro. And it's a very hard one to come back from. I know from personal experience being addicted to opiates more than half my life. It's extremely hard to get people out of that. And it's even harder to convince someone to seek help when other parts of their lives are still functioning or even highly successful. Then there's the anxiety/depression that are often present as well and that makes it even harder to treat the addiction. If people with all the money in the world can't do it, then clearly we're still struggling to find the best ways to deal with this issue. Maybe preventable, but far less so than you might think. Sadly, there's a reason most addicts don't make it. It's a vicious, dangerous, and INSIDIOUS disease that I don't wish on anyone.

Knew Goldlink personally, left his homies in Virginia behind, talkin about folks he called his brother, told us to take down a collab we had with him at a time after years of not speaking to us (an all of the lights freestyle), and immediately ignored folks once we respected his decision to this day. That tweet was a glimpse of the type of person he really is, nd we felt like there was a veil that was removed that only we could see through at the time. Felt like there was gaslighting that finally stopped about the type of man Goldlink is/was. He legit was jealous of other artists around him and his project "God Complex" fit too well. - elder!!!

So THAT'S what happened to GoldLink? Dude decided to be the only guy in the game to throw shade at Mac Miller and a whole damn year after Mac had passed? That post was some weirdly narcissistic shit. What a completely fucking terrible move.

[@staylovingyedam3613]

We just passed the 1 year death anniversary of someone very beloved to me and I cannot fathom ever saying anything like that about him. I feel like speaking on the dead is a different kind of evil

[@christinazyck2910]

I think that the way you speak on someone just shouldn't change after they die 🤷‍♀️ I'm not gonna only say good things about a shitty person just because they passed-- and I'm not gonna talk shit on someone when they are gone if I wouldn't have said it when they were alive

[@jontaehall2740]

Whether or not what he said was true, he had time before Mac passed to either address it or let it go. The problem is how weird the timing is for you to put a personal issue you had with a "friend" out in the public. Waiting until they've been vibing in the ground a while to speak up is a bitch move.

[@seveng1147]

You should make a video about TreeJ scamming Mac Miller fans using Macs name and merch after he died

[@ninjachannel007]

People are assholes, man. Not Goldlink, but folks who can't accept this was just a guy who was in his feelings about stuff he wanted to say when he was alive making the mistake of posting. If you read the thing, it comes off more as a dude who is sad over something he can't ever resolve than a guy who is hating. Even if he was terrible for doing it, nothing here is remotely unforgivable.

[@sticky_icky]

exactly

[@kentekuzan]

from the perspective of someone like .paak or others very close to him, yes it absolutely is unforgivable the shockwave through the industry matters more than comments and annoying fans

[@Scout-9301]

Nah bro you don’t talk about someone after they’ve passed. That is a line you do not cross. That’s some bitch shit. If you think that’s ok then you a hoe

I never knew what happened to GoldLink. He started off fantastic, but I never knew about any of what you explained above in your video commentary. About a month or so ago I wondered, what happened to GoldLink? He was off and running there for a while. Thanks very much for explaining what happened. The original post GoldLink placed on his IG website was full of jealousy, hatred, and narcissism. He posted what he truly felt about Mac Miller, a key figure in the launching of Goldlink’s career? Man that’s crazy, that’s kamikaze like, that’s suicidal. GoldLink paid a heavy price for being self absorbed and very disrespectful In that post. But just like Goldlink and Kid Rock, the one thing you don’t do is shit on the very person or people who helped launch your career particularly if they meant well for you. There is a price to pay for that.

[@zZzJohnnyBoyzZz]

Thanks for the vid man!! Macs my favorite artist of all time been listening since 09'

The way that fans view an artist isnt always the same way their contemporaries see it. especially when they deal with them on a business level

He couldn’t say this shit when Mac was alive. It’s disgusting and disrespectful. You can’t take something back like that.

What would mac have done if he said it when he's alive Mac can't fight and he aint no shooter who scared of dude💀💀💀

yes because he was a much bigger artist, he also tried to talk to Mac about it but Mac brushed it off.

Goldlink is a good example of why MOST introverts don't talk to ya'll.

Are you saying they’re all walking around thinking nasty thoughts all day?

[@afroprince5262]

If most introverts think like him, then they’re doing society a favor by keeping their mouths shut.

[@Myfavoritecolorisyou]

@@afroprince5262 No most introverts are people who keep to themselves Hatred jealousy and all that has to do with mental health issues or how the person feels at the time As an introvert I don't have ego trips that make me want to talk shit about someone who I don't even know Pretty sure people are all different but being introverted has nothing to do with how a person's personality could be shitty

It’s just so interesting because GoldLink used to go to my highschool, I didn’t personally know him, but only heard stories. I did however see him at a local soccer game for the home team but that was before COVID.

[@_mchance]

I’m very much a child of the internet and this internet rap shit but I’ll just put it like this; Mac Miller is my favorite modern music artist entirely as someone who spans so much more than just rap. I deeply resonate with him as a beatmaker/instrumentalist because much like him, I enjoy putting lyrics to music but it’s a much more fulfilling and enjoyable challenge to “speak without talking” through instrumentals. As far as Goldlink’s discography, “The God Complex” is good. I don’t have much to say beyond that, about him personally or his music. I was listening to faces and the god complex at the same time in 2014, man. I still remember riding my new skateboard without a worry in my mind 💭 pretty sure “airplanes” by BOB was still getting burned out on the radio lol thank god for SoundCloud 🙏🏼

[@shawnhyde]

Crazy. I actually saw Gold Link open for Mac in the Good AM tour. The Detroit ticket had Gold Link, Denzel, Joey Badass and Mac

[@papa_grin]

He did say that at a show once after performing ROS he said he was going to do more live songs because there were barley any girls at the show he was performing at and it was awkward since he was performing a live song or something like that .

I liked Goldlink. He was putting out good stuff. His response showed his immaturity. Hopefully with time he takes back what he says and grows from it. There are artists who do way worse things and get away with it.

his post wasn’t even that bad icl i was expecting something so much worse.

[@sourdiesel681]

Right? he knew Mac on a more personal level than any of us did. Maybe Mac did still some of his style of music. But I think it's the fact that Mac was dead, that's the foul part!

[@starlightrocks7]

That's the system of W privilege. "How dare Goldlink express his truth about Mac."

[@directordank]

People took this OPEN LETTER waaaay out of context. It’s like they were actually friends and friends aren’t always on good terms. I was wondering what happened to Gold, that’s some bull.

[@ForgetJay100]

The point is that any issue he had with Mac should have been addressed while he was alive to defend himself, not a year after he died, that’s it.

[@TheInfamousTyrell]

It was just a bunch of dickeating fake Mac fans that jumped on the bandwagon after he passed. Gold link ain’t deserve this outcome.

[@Outmanoii2]

I feel like what goldlink was trying to say was taken out of context

[@starlightrocks7]

He spoke the truth, and "they"didn't want to hear it. Goldlink obviously knew about Mac's addiction that was out of control, so he wasn't surprised by his passing. I didn't see anything negative that Goldlink wrote.

This is actually how the beef of Goldlink and Anderson Pask came to the surface. They used to be friends.

[@noman.3005]

He has a song with Denzel Curry talking about how they "tried to cancel me, huh" like no ninja you cancelled yourself

[@mbuck253]

I unfortunately wasn’t into Mac’s music that deep during his life. I’m a bit older. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of diving into his music. Thankfully I’ve never even heard of Goldlink until this video. His post was wild! He was obviously seething for a long time. He could’ve just kept quiet and rode that wave for the rest of his life but he just couldn’t do it. Fucking bozo
