Also, side note, your dad made a great point on Good News. I absolutely agree that if you really heard the trend of his albums prior to his death, HE WAS CRYING FOR HELP!! And nobody wanted to help him because the industry is brutal to those who suffer mental illness. Mac Miller to me is one of the most underrated legends in the hip hop game, gone way too soon.

fun facts about once a day: when asked about the process jon brion mentioned that the core of the song was made when mac was alone in a piano. jon encouraged mac to just make something after he insisted that jon should play the keys himself. jon went out of the room and left the door open, hearing him play the song brought him to tears 3 times before entering the room again one of the coolest things about your dad mentioning the songs ended intentionally abrupt is that for once a day, the abrupt ending serves a purpose. the song ends with an unresolved chord progression, but if u were to play the entire album on loop, the chord progression of once a day is resolved…. by the beginning chord of circles, making a complete cycle (as the albums suggests, its swimming in circles)

I see Mac, I subscribe. Glad to be here and appreciate y’all keeping Macs legacy alive

Absolutely amazing album and such a beautiful final gift from a amazing artist. RIP Mac.

Missed the premiere but I am glad y’all did this! Also, I know KZfaq playing some finicky crap because how you and dad Mike don’t have more than 50K, even 100K.. IS BONKERS. Genuine reactions, great duo, cognizant recognition of the hip culture, appreciation for the true art from lyrics to production.. Y’all are great, keep it up!!

Your dad says jon brion on Blue World but it was actually Guy Lawrence from disclosure, an edm group. they are pretty nuts aswell

I teared up so many times throughout this whole album! So glad to have listened to it with you two! Mac Miller always reminded me of my youth since we were the same age and I watched him grow as an artist. My childhood felt taken once he passed away. RIP & ty for your gift! ❤️

Jon Brion did an interview with Zane Lowe I believe talking about this album I highly recommend it! He’s the one that put the tracks in their order and he also said Mac played most of the live instruments on the album: drums, guitar, bass, etc. Such a tragedy that we lost him too soon. But I’m glad that Mac’s family did their due diligence and made sure that this album was still true to Mac’s vision and didn’t use it as a cash grab like a lot of posthumous albums are. Also the music videos for this album are wonderful! Great reaction glad you enjoyed the album

Dad makes such a great synopsis at the end and a great tie-in with his own experiences. Love the channel!

RIP Mac. Whenever people talk about the 2010’s Mount Rushmore I always think of him to be there, his music is just so impactful

You guys should watch his tiny desk concert if you like live stuff! Really shows Mac‘s sweet personality and makes me emotional every time.

Thank you for reacting to this album , it's a dear one to my heart

Wow I love dad’s response to Good News. That song is truly a masterpiece. Good to see the appreciation.

RIP Mac Miller. A beautiful album, so happy your Dad liked it :) Would be awesome to see you go back to Faces sometime!

great reaction! you should also show your dad the two tracks from the deluxe - they're great as well!

Circles AND Swimming saved my life. Thank you for reviewing his incredible work

here to support any and all Mac Miller reactions!! This was really great to relive with you guys, thanks 😊

Lovely reaction, Planning on showing this album to my dad as well. What's not to love about it. Great reaction. We love you Mac

was waiting for this one! this album is truly special

MAC MILLER’s last two albums he was really into frequency. There’s a lot of sounds in his music that have healing type frequencies in them.

hey guys , just wanted to suggest reacting to the two deluxe tracks , right and floating . Right is one of my fave Mac songs . maybe just get your dad to check those out in his own time . loved the video , peace ✌🏿🕊️

its still so hard for me to listen to good news to this day, such an intense song to hear

Yesss a Mac Miller reaction 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep them coming!

Waiting for Faces, great reaction!

one my favorite albums and artist of all time

I was really hoping to hear his reaction to finding out about how the album sonically circles around, where the first note of Circles resolves the unstable chord that’s at the end of Once A Day. Nonetheless, this was a wonderful video. So much insight and openness about how it relates and seeing your dad get really into the lyrics and everything…the stories told and all. This made for one of the most enjoyable reaction videos I’ve seen, you guys have been crushing it.

really enjoyed this one. strangely not the first time i've heard mac compared to adele. honored to be mentioned indirectly 😂

Thank you for sharing. I love seeing people’s reaction to this album. It’s my favorite

I keep coming back to Swimming and Circles cuz these albums mean so much to me and I love seeing new reactions to it, I feel like it makes it a little easier to listen to them again and it gets less sad. You should definitely check out some of Dissect's season on these albums it's insane how much stuff is in the songs, but one of the main things is that circles is itself a circle since Once A Day ends with an unresolved chord and Circles begins with a chord that starts it all over. As crazy as that is, So It Goes does the same and leads into Come Back To Earth, what's even cooler is that if you listen to So It Goes closely, when he keeps repeating so it goes so it goes so it goes... it ends up sounding like Circles, so he created a loop within Swimming but also into this album. Mac always found a way to connect one album to the next but these two are really incredible. It really sucks cuz he was doing so well, he did an interview for Swimming and he was so happy, and yeah even though he was still struggling with addiction it's on his dealer because he knew he was giving Mac some laced shit and sold it anyway, thankfully two guys involved with this got some crazy fines and jail time but it's not gonna make up for him being gone:((( Much love to you guys💙💙💙 RIP MAC.

This is one of my favorites as well Mac has influenced me so much he describes his feelings so well that you just connect

loved this reaction

dope video. bro, you and pops gotta watch the Jon Brion interview about the making of Circles. A reaction to that vid would be even better lol. long live Mac Miller

I WAS PRAYING YOU GUYS WOULD REACT TO THIS!

Sad yet amazing! I love this album 💘.

Such a great reaction guys, made me fall back in love with the album again

I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard Good News 😢 RIP Mac

Circles feels like a conversation piece with Mac with the way he sometimes pauses between lines. Almost as if you are just chilling in his room and conversing, and pauses are a way for you to respond. I absolutely adore this album and have a couple tribute tattoos from Good News. RIP TO THE GOAT MILLI MACKAVELLI AKA MAC MILLER 💙

I love this channel so much!

Thanks so much for reacting to Mac! ❤️

He should listen the deluxe version with Right and Floating

You have to react to blonde next! I feel like circles is a great transition into the vibe of blonde.

I believe swimming and circles were actually going to be part of a 3 part project w the 3rd album being straight hip hop.

Favorite album ever

one of my favorite reaction videos that you guys did thus far

Please show your dad the Larry Lovestein album. Really puts mac on another level musically.

man loved the reaction! would love to see you absolutely shocking your dad with a Delusional Thomas Expedition for the next one

I'll put my money on Good News being a favourite, it's mine for sure!

Great reaction

Faces reaction would be awesome

Great album

Good stuff

Would love to see an M.I.A. - Kala reaction for something both fun and super unique

I cant wait for you guys to listen to The Divine Feminine like in my opinion de production its even more amazing!

Would love to see a Divine Feminine Reaction

this was great I'd love to see your dad listen to acid rap by chance the rapper

Faces would be a good switchup

Y'all gotta do a Wayne reaction

Man, you should do a reaction to Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter 3" album, it's one of the classics not to be missed. Peace

Clapton made JJ Cale's music very popular through his constant covers of Cale's music. I mostly prefer Cale's versions :) But i love Clapton and they have been good friends so its alright with me ;D

Knowing what he was trying to dig himself out of, and how it ended up anyway, it's hard to listen to this album for me.

Yo Michael I did Taekwondo for a couple years too, that's dope brother. How far did you make it?

Oof the shirt lol. LGM degrom and scherzer in a 3 game series is unfair. Also Great vid

Please show pops the Delusional Thomas mixtape, its macs alter ego almost like eminems slim shady persona if anyone hasnt heard it yet

You should show him 17

do yall have a patreon?

Praying the next reaction is a brockhampton one

Please do tiny desk concert !!

W

react to 1999

Mets fan I see I'm sorry

always look forward to spending time with you guys weekly, it’s a plus that Mac was here with us too. 🤍

Great reaction
