i often think of the music we would have gotten from Mac if he just lived through the pandemic. The COUNTLESS hours that all of us know he would’ve spent in his studio making the most legendary pieces of music for us. He had so much more in him. R.I.P MAC❤️♾️

[@katiemcgowan465]

Agreed... However... Mac spent hours and hours and hours inside of his studio pre pandemic... Maybe he would've seen that time as the rest of the world finally feeling the way he did - **Don't you know that sunshine, don't feel right, when you're inside, all day?

[@Alter3gos]

@@katiemcgowan465 I love the way you put this. I really think Mac would’ve made something relating to that topic….all of us finally knowing how he felt staying inside all day and never leaving the room. I think those thoughts is what keeps Mac alive in my head…he’ll live forever.

Swimming and Circles are two projects I’ll always be thankful for as they helped lift me through a long dark time in my life. Mac had heart and was a true artist. Rip 92’ infinity 🙏

[@lastjester5109]

Same here man

[@CantMuffin]

Yep same. Got it tattooed even

[@Elitejedi101]

2 great projects most definitely

[@Severeradiation]

Mac's family lived in a different home in Point Breeze for a small portion of his very early childhood before they moved to his main childhood home. My parents were his neighbors at the new house and often heard him playing the drums and creating his new music inside. My parents ended up moving to his family's old house, which is where I grew up. His name was engraved on my bedroom door. I was pretty young when I learned who he was so I never had really listened to his music until around now. I do remember playing at Blue Slide Park a lot, going down the big blue slide on pieces of recycled cardboard it was a classic activity for kids in the neighborhood. RIP.

[@Mithilan01]

KIDS is still one of my favorite projects because it takes me back to being a carefree highschool kid every time, perfectly captures a moment in time that everyone went through

[@jasmquin]

I feel the same! Knock knock can literally pull me back to a moment in high school ❤😢

[@mattyicee]

It also had some really underrated bangers on it. Good Evening, Ride Around, Paper Route, Outside. Shit is like a time capsule of nostalgia. I also watched the movie Kids for the first time around that time and it hit me so hard for some reason.

[@iSupport10]

Yup, I guess we all the same age! Rip mac ✊🏻

[@Bruno.Pacino]

I crashed my motor swapped 90hatchback while bumpin kids when it was new, that was me n my boys anthem , that year had an amazing lineup… KIDS , and then wiz with and OJ and wale more about nothin .. I swear the nostalgia those hve for me…it gives me chills

I know right

[@ChildishLumbino]

my favorite artist of all time. i wish he knew how much he meant to generations of people. long live Mac Miller, 92’ til infinity ♾️🤍🕊️

[@katiemcgowan465]

He knows...

[@Noodle6792]

he knew and he knows.

[@Shawn-Leider]

HAHAAH bro he knew. He knew he was loved. Bro Kendrick Lamar told a story of how he bought a range and he told Mac he had that he was making that money. And Mac bought 3 and said he isn’t making that Mac miller money tho. And it’s true. Mac was a juggernaut. People might have not put him up with Kendrick but he def was up and probably past Kendrick. Dude was more blues more jazz more hip hop than Kendrick. It’s crazy to say a white boy held that. But he was just a true artist

[@MahediHasan-yg9uq]

Sadly I got introduced to his works in 2022 after he passed away. But he is one of the few artists who are very close to my heart. Listening to him, watching him feels like he is a genuine and sincere friend.

[@blancal31]

Same, I just recently got into his music :( sucks I won’t ever listen to him in a concert

[@darkpoet1866]

[@Acfurniss1120]

[@JFreese]

I never thought I would ever miss someone I never met in person. But that person’s music has carried me through so many phases of my life. RIP MAC. Fly high.

[@JohnnyHurbonConnections]

I watched Mac on Tiny Desk and then horrified he taken so abruptly and heartlessly by the Killer Drug Fentanyl. Who would poison an unsuspecting human?

[@kritikal1993]

I feel you.

[@mooremotivated]

Met Mac for the first time in 2013 and saw him several times through the years. He always asked, “you good?”. He was such a genuine and funny dude. I cherish the memories I have with him. He inspires me daily to live my life out of love and to just keep swimming. Rip broski. Most Dope, that’s forever.

[@Quil-Angael]

RIP to one of the most down to earth, honest artists. Helped me through some tough shit listening to his music, we all love you and miss you Malcom.

[@PequotWhiteHawk]

Here I am 5 years 4 months later, tears streaming down my face. I wish I could say thank you for all you have given me, I just wish I could have helped you the same way you helped me.. I miss you man, I just want to say thank you for the help with my addictions and taking me to a better place, I know you're up there. Forever my favorite rapper till the day I die R.I.P. Malcom McCormick you maybe gone but you will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything MOST DOPE!🤘

[@omerbloch]

IMO he was the most unique artist of the 2000s era. He changed music, gave others a platform to prove themself and created a path for rappers to try new genre. We will never see another one like him. Absolute GOAT. 92 - infinity

[@xSGTBONGRiiPPxxADVENTURESx]

its been years and ive heard it a thousand times, but i still cant hear 2009 without tearing up. we miss ya mac. great coverage of one of the best artists of the generation.

[@Machead92]

Been waiting for this one!! Mac is underrated and should have won the Grammy for best rap album in 2020 for swimming. Mac’s music will continue to inspire forever…

[@PurpleSquire]

2020 was circles 2018 was swimming

[@MrPixelMonster]

Still the only artist's death that actually made me cry. Watching Movies With The Sound Off and Faces were the soundtrack to my late teens & early adulthood. R.I.P. Mac, forever an icon ❤

[@LoLifeIsForever-hl2nm]

Man, I cry damn near every Friday, and listen to Mac's music, because he died on a Friday and that's how I remember him; RIP Easy Mac With The Cheesy Raps...🙏🏽

[@StarSparrowTarot]

My heart 🥹 I followed him from album to album but didn’t know much about him. After he passed I grieved so much I couldn’t bring myself to watch videos like this because I wanted to remember him by feeling him in his music. My bf had said once that “Circles sounds unfinished. It doesn’t have the magic in it like Swimming. Almost like they forgot to add salt.” And I can’t believe my ears that it was actually unfinished! I’m glad this came up on my feed. Thank you for honoring Mac in such a beautiful way. 🙏🏼💕

[@imthenewmessiah420]

Mac was a beautiful artist with a tormented soul. The world is a darker and sadder place without him in it. I will listen to his music until the day I die

[@phunkymind23]

I only know about Mac Miller because I made a playlist a month ago featuring everyone's favourite songs from my classmates, one of which was Ladders. After watching this video, I feel like I've known him all my life, and it brought a tear to my eye. What a tragic loss. Thank you for making this.

[@kcohh]

Man I can’t even lie, I teared up a few times watching this. What a beautiful video. I just hope he knew how much he helped people through his music. He truly changed my entire outlook on life and I’ll forever be grateful for that. Rest easy Mac, 92 til infinity ❤️

[@jacobstathers8823]

Been listening to make since I was 12-13 years old when kids first dropped. Never got to see him live and it haunts me to this day. This is the only celebrity death I’ll never get over. 92-infinity. Miss you everyday Mac.

[@ledionne]

Labeling Blue Slide Park as "Standard Frat Rap" is insane. That album was the first time fans had a chance at seeing just a glimpse of the melodic genius behind the Donald Trump rapper. It was Mac's teenage album, stepping away from the Kids music videos, and making us really feel there was longevity behind the creativity. Melodies like the hook on Under The Weather truly were the first signs of what were to come with albums like Circles.

[@johnbartz1907]

Blue slide park is a classic imo

[@ceciliagarrrido]

What a nice surprise to found this video, Mac Miller is my favorite artist, I miss him. His music brings me to a state of connection and peace. We love you Mac

[@Bootscootinaly]

I grew up basically with Mac, listening to him for the first time when I was in 7th grade. Throughout his years of growth in music I was also growing up, changing, and trying to figure out my own life. I will always have mad respect for where he started and came from KIDS, Blue Slide Park, Macadelic to my favorite GO:OD AM & Swimming😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Mac miller is the definition of a kid who went big & had real struggles like the rest of us. I am now 27 which is so hard to get in my head as he was 27 when he passed. We love you Mac 🤍

[@texaaaa]

perfect circle/godspeed is one of my favorite songs ever from mac. I love how reflective and honest he is during the entire track.

[@garybattle2488]

Mac is only famous person i ever shed a tear for and that's because through his music he felt like a friend. Miss you mac 👨🏽‍🚀

[@AaronLyons]

He was so committed to growing as a being and exploring truth. What made him special was his dedication and hunger for the spiritual. He was intensely religious in a certain way. This is what made the music so powerful… his interest in the profound. The big question..

[@whatnana]

Yes, he was so philosophical and I loved all the themes he explored. He was so human

[@braythesmall4131]

I think the thing that makes mac such a great artist is he didnt try to be anything he wasnt and everything was just him being him. the good, bad. the highs and the lows

[@DEATHWISH65]

I sit here in tears watching this remembering growing up listening to every album he released im 22 now and I ain’t going to lie I still wish I could have had the time to see him at least once and listen to him in person rip man I will forever love you’re music bro!😢

[@emgalloway428]

I've been putting this video off for months bc I knew I would cry. I still cried. such a beautiful soul. he deserved so much more, not just as an artist, but as a human. miss him so much

[@raymondsykes2954]

It's actually astonishing how many actually miss him this long after he's been gone. I still can't find a single artist I've ever related with more than this man. And I still struggle to find music that made me emotionally attached like him

[@juliansmith6678]

Watching movies with the sound off was the first hip hop album I felt that was made for me truly changed my life for the better I’ve been since and always will be a devoted fan for life

[@jessieearnest6046]

Thanks for making this. It’s much needed because there’s a lot of us that miss him and his music. R.I.P Mac .

[@lauratmeyer]

Well done. You speak so eloquently and respectfully of Mac and who he was. Of course he shared so much of himself with us. I am so sorry that he is no longer here. His music changed my life, and continues to do so. Thank you for putting such great care and effort into this. Your love and awe of Mac is so evident. Beautiful tribute.

[@heathertaylor8904]

I'm surprised more people don't talk about Blue World more often. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. I didn't realize it was released after his death.

[@ericu808]

Took me awhile to finally watch this. Been sitting in my watch later for months.. it still hurts that we lost Mac. Wish I could see my mans again. Dude walked side by side with me through my childhood.

[@Waterbone-777]

This is one of the best deep dives I’ve seen Mac miller was such a creative mind, I don’t think any one will match he’s soulful feeling in his songs

[@iWonchan]

The world misses you mac

[@bre479]

I’m now 22, but when I was just about 8 years old (14 years ago) my oldest brother introduced me to The Spins. Since that exact moment, I had/have been obsessed with Mac. I have him tattooed, I listen to him daily, and the day the news broke that he passed was detrimental. Watching this was a huge throwback almost. Watching other people go through his history and music is always so comforting, whether it be critical or not.

[@ricardomargera]

Mac would be up there with J Cole, Drake, or K-Dot right now. He was a fucking genius, and a one of a kind soul. To his fan base, he was that friend we all needed, the one who did music that we could relate to better than anyone else. Mac, we all miss you. Rest in paradise.

[@Numbskulli]

Swimming and circles are some of my favorite albums ever. Rip mac.

[@maddnyss]

Same

[@Chiefahleaf]

That's ending statement almost made me cry. Mac music had pushed me to keep believing in myself to change and improve from high school to adulthood. There are no words that can give him gratitude enough

[@1GGNA]

Mac Miller... I cannot express the impact and contribution this man has on my whole life as a person, musician and an individual. Thank you for this video and your work!

[@stevekingkovu]

Literally the only artist that I can’t stop crying about every time I hear his music or think about. His music got me through alot and still is getting me through life at this very moment.

[@h0llyw00_d8]

i love your focus on faces because i personally think it was the highlight of mac’s creative process he put his all into it and you can feel it within the tracks…side note you are so talented at your craft if you ever stopped making videos i might actually cry

[@brmvrm992]

those last 5 minutes was truly art, I don't think anybody could've said it better than you, you have true talent I can't believe these aren't getting much recognition.. much love♥️♥️ and Merry Christmas!

[@tedigrizli]

Yes, it was incredible how he plugged his new necklace advert into his essay. Truly a legendary closer.

[@permatripp1563]

His music helped me through a lot

[@joeycahill1946]

Appreciate you making this. His music is/was/will always be my therapy. He is the epitome of the saying, "If some is good, more is better." Bc he judt kept wanting to make more music that he knew we just had to hear. He's going to drop new songs every 10months till we are both gone. His catalog alone at that age should be considered that of legendary. 🙏.. PS, MACADELLIC IS THE THE MOST LYRICALLY UNDERRATED ALBUM OF ITS TIME

[@squashed7224]

Wow, this is a really beautiful video essay. The way you describe Mac and his music is so eloquent and it shows how much respect you have for him.

[@reggielaw9712]

When Mac was still alive I was part of the group that thought that he was just a 'frat rapper', and after he died I started listening to his music and saw how beautiful it was and I'll never forgive myself for not appreciating his music while he was still around

[@N64Galore]

He was like that at 1st, after about 2012 he started to become more what he became in 2018 when he died then his village era Mac miller style.

[@yandhijpeg]

Crazy how we went from seeing kids tagged in the bathroom stalls at school in 2010 to now, man inspired a whole generation. Truly a legend. Gonna miss you Mac you were a big part of my teenage years along with Odd future and A$AP.

[@BonsaiFrost]

What I love about videos about Mac is that it’s never tiring hearing about how much of he developed his sound and artistry and how well respected he was from the audience and his peers. Great job on this video.

I really got into Mac when I moved to Pittsburgh in 2015. Favorite artist. Kills me knowing we won’t ever get new music from him. Such a kind, talented, and beautiful person. A true musician.

[@GeekShiek]

Sometimes I wake up sad that I wasn't into Mac until after he passed. But even so, his music inspires me daily, and as sad as it is that I'll never see him perform live, I'm eternally grateful for what he gifted to us

[@user-xx2ip4uj3d]

very underrated video. really enjoyed watching it. Rest in Peace Mac Miller

[@thelarrys8693]

The first time I listened to circles from start to finish I did because I got the vinyl. It will forever by my favourite vinyl.

RIP Mac.

It's not often that someone who has fame gives you such an insight into there thoughts and moods throughout their life. Mac was loved for this and because you could see the growing pains he went through in his music and the different stages of realization that went through his mind. I've never before or since been affected by someone's death that I did not know personally and I feel that is symbolic of the impact he had on many.

[@teta20000]

Rest easy Mac 🙏 he was a beautiful spirit who was ahead of his time. The level of positivity he brought into this world is something that will never be forgotten. Like many of us, he was just a soul trying to find his way through this crazy thing called life.

Miller Was popular because of how relatable his lyrics felt to growing up in modern times He's a deep artist that spoke what he believed and felt while also being lyrically gifted anyone saying he was skilless is simply hating

[@OaklynMediaLLC]

I've always thought of my friends I wasn't the biggest mac miller fan, but watching this video made me realize I'd actually caught onto him a lot earlier in his career than I thought. My wife got to see him live and I couldn't get out of work in college, and I still regret not fighting my boss more about it. I listen to him daily still, but man do I kick myself for not going to see him that day.

[@JacobC479]

I got to see him perform at the University of Arkansas in October of 2013, thankfully. It’s crazy how I genuinely miss a stranger. Still listen to Faces almost every day.

[@kritikal1993]

I loved Mac. From the UK I got to see him live and I couldn’t wait to see his show once more. As being the same age as him I felt like his music evolved at the same time as I grew up and matured so I really connected with his music. Thanks for the documentary

[@lorbucky3492]

Not gonna lie some parts of this got me sobbing 🥲 Mac was so special & it pains me so much that he went out the way he did. He had so much to give & I wanted nothing more than for him to get the happy ending he deserved. I’ve never missed someone I’ve never met so much in my entire life.

[@toxxiklovee]

K.I.D.S will forever be a core memory for me and my nieces 😭 we all remember the summer we discovered mac miller in 2011 driving through are hometown listened to kool aid and frozen pizza when times where simple . To this day KIDS and the devine feminine are my 2 favorite albums.

[@weenmachine279]

The 3rd installment to his trilogy of swimming in circles would have been named "til infinity" - swimming in circles til infinity, Thundercat said it would have been a just a rap album, swimming is both rap and singing and circles is singing, the 3rd album would've connected all 3 of the genres. Rip to one of the most creative artists of modern time🙏
