Mac Miller is one of a kind. His ability to express emotion musically and convey the ups and downs of life through his production, melodies and rapping was extremely unique. His energy shines through on each album even when he was going through some of his darkest times. But this video isn’t about the gossip, the headlines or anything beyond the music. This video is about what Mac Miller was like in the studio, straight from the mouths of Kendrick Lamar, John Mayer, Young Thug and his closest collaborators.

Met Mac in 2013. We cracked a few jokes and he was the realest. Dude made everybody feel as if they were the most important person in the room, even though it was clearly him. Saw him several times through the years and he knew who I was and always asked, “you good?”. I can express what his music and friendship did for me. I miss him every day. Whoever reads this… know that you matter. I’m proud of you. Most Dope, that’s forever.

What makes him more important? Because of the money ? His talent,people have to stop putting rappers,actors on Pedestals they’re humans just like you it’s good he’s was down to earth,If you met half of the famous people you like if you wouldn’t like them anymore. I’m in the music industry met artist nfl players and most of them are arrogant,prideful,& greedy.

Met Mac in 2015 and 2016. Super nervous the first time. Second time I gave him a canvas that I painted while in line for the meet and greet, he was stoked and took a second to look at what I made for him, he asked if I wanted it signed but I wanted him to have it. I told him that the divine feminine was the sound track off me falling in love, and he was so excited. I'll never forget his body language when I told him that. We took a picture with our thumbs up and both had a huge smile on our faces. My life will forever be impacted by Mac and his art.

I would've loved to sit in the studio when he recorded swimming and circles. It feels like those albums have a level of genuine self-acceptance and peace that his others didn't have. Crazy too how that studio is just down the street from where I live. I often think about how much magic was made in there when I pass by.

Mac Miller is the epitome of doing what you love. I wasted 4 years of my life in university trying to figure out what career path to take and bouncing from program to program, despising everything I did in school. In my final year I fell in love with Mac’s music and his artistry. His passion and commitment to his craft inspired me to chase my dreams and do what I love to do. I dropped out of school and decided to live through my passion and it was the best decision I ever made. Thank you Mac.

I cried all day when I heard Mac died. I always liked Mac, but I fell in love with his style around Faces. Everything after Faces is amazing as well, but going back to Delusional Thomas, you could tell he was a different breed. I wish I got to meet him. He did a lot in his 26 years on Earth. When I see him on the other side, I'm gonna joke with him about being too cool for the 27 Club.

Mac has easily one of the best discographies of any artist living or dead. It’s so consistently good while being so varied and accidentally telling the story of his (and vicariously the listener’s) changing life. His musical career is like a really well written and fleshed out tv series or something.

Mac during Faces would've been fun to see get made. I know that it wasn't a big party album, and that it had a lot of depressing notes on it. But something on that album just called out to me. I love that album. RIP to the greatest, Mac Miller.

@ImMimicute 13 күн бұрын

Faces for me is maybe my favourite mac album because not only is there a beautiful honesty in it, it also doesn't shy away at all from the grime, it's a huge cautionary tale for me and my friends and reminds us constantly about the reality of drugs, it's very easy to get washed away by the good side of drugs and I don't think that side is worth ignoring, but faces makes the other side very clear too

Mac Miller content?! He's my favorite artist, man... As cliché as it sounds, he's someone I truly look up to. I learned more from him than I did from my own father. When I'm not able to express a feeling, I can find them in one of his songs 100% I wish I could've hung out with you and had a smoke session every now and then, Mac. From all the testimonies of the people around you, I think you would've been an amazing mentor and friend, considering your openness about your good and bad sides. Unbeknownst to you, you truly did help me through my toughest, lowest times just through your music, and I'm sure your music will continue to be a part of my life as I grow older. September 7th would be the 4th year without Mac on Earth. RIP King
