Inspiring to see this dude didn’t let his situation crush his spirit and his soul.

[@elliesings9508]

Yesssss!!

[@seaberry11]

That Shellshocked album is a classic! Mac is a legend down here in New Orleans.

[@garysmithjr2166]

Facts people dont bout that. That was when P was dropping an album every week

[@LanceJ.]

From Houston, I grew up on Shell Shocked. Classic.

[@rpoche1993]

Tell em! ⚜️

[@pomack83]

World War 3 was classic also blee dat

[@daryonnoel6636]

@@pomack83I was about to put that ww3 is a classic and Mac really is and was an innocent man

[@batgurrl]

Mac’s attitude is inspirational. D.L. Is correct in that art needs to be protected. Excellent interview

[@stilllyte]

I just heard his album Shellshocked for the first time yesterday. It was dope. This guy has multiple qualities as a raoper. Cadence. Lyrical content. Story telling. 4.11.2024 est@1659hrs NYC

[@Londonloca]

I’m soo proud of my cousin Mac..he still standing no matter how much the system tried to take him down ‼️

[@geraldinekeenan-friday3673]

we all need to get back up.. be tired... JUST Get up again. we really need to build ourselves & communities. Much love to DL & Mac! 😘

[@otisbrown9310]

One of the best mcs on the mic

[@lamarcoupe]

Man, who of thought MAC would be on the daily show. I always considered him a down south Nas when it came to his delivery and flow.

[@Hopster1]

Mac proves that with AGE and determination comes WISDOM. Wishing him nothing but future success and prosperity.

[@Foernnr]

Big ups for them putting Mac on here...hes highly slept on, My favorite from the No Limit Camp, madd lyrical.

[@TheMad31683]

Had the shell shocked cd and people. Only areal no limit fan had that

[@slomotionproductions8005]

​@@TheMad31683 Still got it...and World War III..

[@gummyberryjoos1693]

After much inner turmoil over the issue, D.L. has become my favored guest host so far.

[@emu_warrior]

I've loved them all, it should stay a rotating group of hosts every like 2 weeks or month

[@geraldinekeenan-friday3673]

mine too.

[@KingTone510]

Mac is one of the most underrated rappers ever! His Shell Shocked album was one of the best from the No Limit label. I'm glad to see that he's free now, and I hope that he drops another album.

[@MrShortymac187]

His new album is out right now is called son of the city

[@brianunderwood2966]

Most people have never heard of Mac, but he's one of the best lyricists out of the south, and he doesn't have many albums because he got thrown in prison at a very young age.

[@gwshelton4875]

I vote for D L to be permanent host of the Daily Show. His humor along with this age, is refreshing in today’s world. Not sure the studio audience really gets him because of their youth

[@katemiller8113]

👆👏👏💕💕DL!!

[@sciencemama6801]

People say this every week about each host. I think they've all been fantastic, and I think they are filling in, not like it's "try outs" or a job interview. I think of it more like SNL where they're just there for a week for the experience, and behind-the-scenes there are likely people being interviewed and thought about and the execs or whoever are actually deciding who will be next (perhaps from the current group of correspondents).

[@hjgh1973]

Bet

[@phunchurchgirl]

I think he needs his own show but it's not this one

[@GmanFlight]

DL is a trash human

[@stephenlee3495]

Yelled “Free Mac” for 20 years and now Mac’s free!

[@johnmoya420]

Cant forget about all the features he was on that murdered them beats!! And also WWiii was a very underrated album!! Long live the legend MAC!!

[@TheCato3000]

Still B.O.O.C.'n, Mac! All love, bro!

[@elainewaller-rose9707]

Ok that does it. Love his comedic side. Now I see that D.L. shows the kind of compassion and wisdom in interviews that made Trevor so phenomenal. D.L. gets my vote for the next DS host.

[@robertocolvard1923]

He was always my favorite artist from no limit. Im so glad to see him doing well

[@jalanemusicofficial4446]

His verse was so dope I’m on my way to Spotify 😂❤

[@sinispete]

You won’t be disappointed

He is awesome. Check out his albums world war 3 and shell shocked

I just watched Rap Trap. 21 years for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Using lyrics, the prosecutor, knew would shock the jury. Your story is inspiring and I'm so sorry I'm just hearing it now. I will bring this to my circle of friends and my Mother's circle of friends.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

I wasn’t aware that they were doing this fill-in audition thing until a few-minutes ago. That said, I’ve interviewed D.L. on the radio a handful of times and he’s the most brilliant guest I had. If he wants this show, he should have this show.

The best emcee from No Limit.
