Mac didn't just make raps, bro made magical vibes.
But at the same time he also made some of the hardest raps I've ever heard
@liltow647 so so so true...
Mac Miller NPR Tiny Desk Series
Absolutely, 100%, watch this Polo
💯
Definitely check this out next, probably the best tiny desk
Good AM is personally my favorite album from Mac, he was rapping’ his ass off on that. Mac was always learning and always trying to perfect his craft. His beats are amazing, musically gifted individual. Also, one of the boys, Schoolboy Q and him were super tight.
100% this!
Swimming is one of my all time favorite albums. It's amazing from start to finish.
Mac Miller was an insanely versatile artist, his style evolved like crazy throughout his discography. Some classics: Knock Knock, The Spins, Best Day Ever, Smile Back, Diablo, Insomniak, Yeah (bonus), Dang!, Ladders, 2009, Good News. Too many to mention
Mac Miller is the only artist that actually affected me when he passed. I felt like I knew him through his music, he left us too soon :(
Hit up the whole NPR tiny desk with Mac.
That whole set with Thundercat was legendary
Mac Miller-2009
- good news
and then a tonnnnn of his old music is great too
Mac fans are coming full force if you keep doing Mac reactions
I recently started listening to Mac as well. I have a eccentric taste but my standard is it has to come from the soul. This kid had it. If not for that gd fentanyl. He was getting better as an artist even while spiraling. Only negative is his posthumorus releases are so beautiful and honest they will tear you up. especially if you can relate.
Wwhhaaattt?! Have I been missing. God damn so late to this party. RIP Mac, I'm sorry I didn't recognize. Wow, I'm actually stunned, I really didn't think I was missing anything, how do I not know better by now this is absolute fire.
it's never late to start something! I started listening to him in 2021 and now he's my favorite artist.
I recommend you start listening to his newer stuff like Swimming and Circles (my favorites) 😊
I honestly started listening to him in 2021 as well and when I say I’ve become obsessed with his music it’s an understatement. His music hasn’t left my rotation in two years and it’s some of the most sincere beautiful music that I’ve had the pleasure to listen to, I would definitely listen to the rest of this album if you liked this
@@pierreaugusto3946 Ok, Thank you!! I appreciate this
@@evansinclair1999 Wow, that's quite the endorsement, Thank You! I feel like such a moron 😂 I just had no in my head I wouldn't like his music.
@@pierreaugusto3946 Thank You! Not sure why but my response keeps getting deleted... Weird. I appreciate you taking the time 💖
The words he carved "Memento Mori" roughly means "remember you will die". It's been used by many famous people throughout history as not only a coping mechanism but it can also humble yourself in a way.
You just got hired? You just got into Harvard? You just got nomiated for a nobel prize? Memento Mori, you can't take anything with you. It pales in comparison to the idea of eternity. How many people have come before you and had the same honors? And where are they now? They're dead just like you will be.
Marcus Aurelius said this practice of saying to the good things and the bad things in life, that you will die, is a reminder that helps you accept the good things without arrogance and to let the bad things go with indifference.
Your plane is delayed, you're stressed, you're tired, you're hungry, you're cynical, you say to yourself "Memento Mori" I'm going to die. What does any of this mean? Why am I taking any of it so seriously? Why am I letting it get to me? What's three hours here or three hours there? Remember you're going to die. What you do control is whether you waste time getting upset by something. Whether you waste time taking it personally, whether you're the best in the world at what you do, or you're an unpaid intern, whether your work is being beloved by the critics or savaged by the critics, whether you have all the money you need, or you can barely get by. Memento Mori, remember I will die. None of this matters in light of that.
Marcus Aurelius once said "You could leave earth right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think."
This is a key idea for stoicism in which Marcus Aurelius is considered the "Emperor of Stoicism". There's been many famous stoics throughout history:
Zeno (founded stoic school around 300 BC)
Marcus Aurelius (the last leader of the stoic school, while also being the Emperor of Rome)
George Washington
Theodore Roosevelt
Pete Carroll
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Ryan Holiday (author of The Obsticle is the Way. See more below)
New England Patriots who funny enough gives some credit to their teams connection to them reading the above mentioned book by Ryan Holiday.
Many more examples of people you've heard of studying stoicism and practicing it in their daily lives if you do some research.
I'll end this with a recommendation to check out one of, if not the greatest philosophical texts ever written. "Marcus Aurelius' Meditations". Which was written as a series of daily assertations, Meditations is an ensemble of stoic maxims that the Emperor lived by during his reign. The inspiration for his journals came from Epicetetus' Discourses, which heavily influenced Marcus Aurelius as he studied philosophy in his formative years.
Stay Blessed.
Sources, roughly: Thecollector, Maurcus Aurelius' Meditations, Daily Stoic youtube, and myself.
Circles is one of the most “Sunday morning” albums I’ve ever heard.
second that on a sunday morning
Probably one of the greatest posthumous albums ever. Rest in peace Mac.
@@AndyGreeneBeanagreed
My favorite album 🤍
Swimming got me through some rough times. I’m 69. Mac Miller hits across the ages. RIP.
2009 is my fav cut he made it hits hard, and you should bless your ears and listen to it.
Def a great rabbit hole to go down! Check out
I Am Who Am - Mac Miller
Yo my man, Mac Miller is one of the greatest to ever do it. He was a true artist, his music goes way beyond 'just' being Hip Hop/Rap. He invented himself again and again in different more intriguing ways with each of his Projects. His subject matter was often far beyond the usual tropes in hip hop. For me, his "Faces" Mixtape (a mixtape of his highly appraised second album "Watching Movies with the Sound Off" ) is an absolute must know for anybody who claims to know and love the culture. I know for a fact, Polo, you will have an extraordinary listening experience when you go through that tape. I know you love music and true artistry, so do yourself a favour and listen to it. Screw reacting to this in videos. just sit down somewhere, relax and experience thjis as a whole. Screw us greedy rection vid fans this one time, you do enough for us. do this one for you. Peace bruh
Mac Miller best day ever
That video is so hard to watch without shedding tears. Such a great tune though
Im a 60 yr old white woman and I love Mac ❤
I'm 62. Huge Mac Miller fan!
I'm jealous you get to experience Mac for the first time
RIP Mac ❤️
Mac has and will always be in my top artists. Unmatched energy. I was lucky enough to meet him once at a small show in 2012 at thiel college. I sure wish he was still here, id give anything to see him perform again
Mac Miller is highly slept on!! Please do Mac Miller ft Anderson Pak - “dang”!!! You’ll love it! Greta reaction!
2011/2012 Mac was crazy, HS & college was filled with his music for sure. Best times of the 20th century hands down. RIP DA GOAT
More mac miller. Can never see it enough when someone new hears mac for the 1st time. He has so so many songs , styles, you will love 100%.
Mac Miller was great.😢
please make more vids for mac. i’ll watch all of them. keep this man alive through his music 🙏🏼
Mac was one of one. Truly a creative genius that deserved more praise when he was here. But people who know know.
The fact that you sat there and gave a listen to my favorite rapper of all time, you gained a sub from me
His Tiny Desk concert is 🔥 . " 2009 " is a dope track asvwell.
its not just that he’s talented. the whole community mourned him because he was their genuine friend.
mac’s unofficial nickname is hiphop homie since everyone called him their homie.
but yes his music is tremendously well composed and beautiful
Love mac miller ...greatest song ever....
This whole album from start to end is so good
Do more mac. This man has more listeners than most current artists, 6 years after his death. There is good reason. His fans will show up to your channel EVERY SINGLE TIME.
anything from Circles is a masterpiece - Blue World & woods stand out the most
Tiny desk concert is one of my fav live performances
Keep em comin 🤘🏻 Mac is dope
This journey you bout to take is prolly gonna make you emotional as you go through his stuff, but it's all worth it & it truly will be special & bittersweet.
He started on that frat-rap style, but truly evolved into a very deep & complex musician with the way he went out producing his stuff (which he did A LOT of under the alias Larry Fisherman).
His talent doesn't just stop at his production either, he's still got BARS & He's just got SO MUCH DIVERSE stuff throughout his catalog in that there's something for everyone.
Also Fun fact about this track, J.I.D is actually a background vocal.
Dope reaction tho, & it's always a bittersweet feeling to see someone who's never heard of Mac react to his stuff for the first time. Hope to see more
Ladders is one of my favourite Mac tracks, check it out then the rest of his catalog
Definitely gonna need more Mac!
Mac saved my life when I was down and out. He's the only artist I ever got a tattoo of. PLEASE DO MORE MALCOM MCCORMICK
I wasn’t a super fan of his but remember his song “Nikes on my Feet” that my good friend kept playing when it first dropped and it was smooth! Kinda left Mac alone, not on purpose, until almost the time he passed. Somehow started to just explore more of his stuff right around that time and knowing the details, his passing just breaks my heart to the core. Listened to a lot more, saw how involved he was in his production, how much fun he had with his craft and how many people in the industry I love like Thundercat and Schoolboy Q that were just super close to him and it kind of rubbed off. I was hurt when Pac died, Biggie, Big L, just so much talent. I think when Mac died I just had more life experience and so much more loss and his death hit me really hard… really hard… as someone who understands addiction very well, one of the few celebrity deaths that I for real cried about and still weighs on me. So much potential, so much honesty, so much heart, creativity, and his personality on everything I’ve seen was crazy. I lost by best friend when I was 25 and Mac just reminded me in some ways of why I was so close to my dude. He may not be everyone’s version of hip hop but dude was an amazing artist who had such a unique vibe that I couldn’t help but respect and love his legacy. RIP to a real artist
2009 by Mac Miller is phenomenal
Good News is soooo good. It’s also sad because it perfectly encapsulates the sadness and everything he was going through. Please do a reaction of this next!!!
Mac is crazy talented. Love his music. Hate he left us so soon.
Mac was evolving into an amazing era up until his passing. His early hiphop rap that became more technical, then the experimentation with song writing, then he dove into self producing his music and making his own beats and songs from scratch. He would put out one album and the critics would trash it, then he would post the next album and those same critics that would trash him would slowly start loving him. His last 2-3 albums were his highest rated but they were far from just rap/hiphop, some of these songs on those last albums have INSANE quality of beats and production. Me personally, being macs age, I loved ALL his albums and they directly resonated with every year I was in when he would release them. This was a blessing since I could hear an artist who was maturing and evolving their craft and it felt like a direct reflection of where i was and the evolutions I was personally feeling in my life at that time. Macs music felt very personal to my generation and it was ground breaking when he would release new music. Now I look back and re-listen to his music and each song on each album carries a memory of my life when I hear it. RIP Mac.
The tiny desk concert is a must see another one. That’s one of my favorites is 2009 and ladders.
Love in-depth at the start brother, everyone from different walks off life but Mac really hit different for me, been on his shit for 7 plus years. Love from Australia !!!!
Mac is my favorite style of Rap❤😊
I love all of Mac Millers music. Swimming and Circles are top tier. Check em out
R.I.P to one of the greatest artists to ever touch the mic, highly recommend Mac Miller - Diablo 🔥
One of my favorite artists 🙏 all of his latest work is absolutely fantastic. You can also go down rabbit holes on this guy. He was kinda like Juice, he had treasure troves of unreleased music. Still dropping to this day.
That's NUTS you've never heard of Mac.
Since 2009 when we was both in high school, I remember how special chilling with the boys blazing listening to mac and Wiz. They was boys at first.
I'd recommend Perfect Circle/ Godspeed, Kool aid and frozen pizza, Nikes on my feet, BDE Bonus, Friends, Angel Dust, Malibu, What do you do, It just Doesn't Matter, Grandpa used to carry a flask(under the alter ego Delusional Thomas), Diablo, The Tiny Desk concert on NPR.
Plus so many more.
Just keep going with Mac.
He also has an entire Jazz album under the name Larry Lovestein. And produced a lot of his own beats under the name Larry Fisherman.
MORE MAC
Refreshing to watch a actual reaction an the backstory for your take on artist and such
Oh my goodness. Im here for the mac miller journey ❤
I’m a 41 year old music lover (Iron Maiden favorite band) and hip hop lover and Mac Miller as far as a new rapper was really impressive
I’m here for the Mac journey!🤘🏼
Mac Miller Forever.❤
So much unique beauty in his music.
He is the only modern artist i listen to..
He was just special, i liked him as a nice little summer vibe with KIDS and BDE, but completely fell in love with him in the time of Faces and Macadelic ❤ incredibly creative, deep, dark, but hopeful and with an eye for crazy, weird beauty in this world, influenced by much of the music i love as well and he was just two years older than me.. i usually pretty much only listen to music of the 60s/70s with some exceptions, but i never felt that much of a "connection" with a stranger and he was the only person i never knew, over whom i lost real tears 💔
His last few albums are all beautiful in their own way
Mac anything man, he's got a special vibe. And the aesthetic here is top tier. If I had to give something, it'd be either "Good News" for his "new" stuff, or older stuff I'd say try "Hurt Feelings" or "Whats the use?"
Mac is fire!
100 Grandkinds- Mac Miller
I honestly think Mac as an artist has one of the most creative and versatile catalogs of all time. You could do reactions for days on his music haha
Mac Miller Swimming, Circles, Kids, Faces, BSP, GOODAM.. do it all.
More Mac
I didn’t listen to Mac Miller until last year.. he’s the only musical artist that has made me feel something emotionally during a song.
Mac Miller- inertia. Great peek at his process
Malcolm is one artist that was amazing at everything he did. Love & miss my kid. Straight up musical genius 😢😢 A lose that really hurts Rest EZ ❤❤❤
The opening scene is from kill bill v2
Well, it was inspired by it.
Appreciate mac miller reactions. He has so much dope music. Hope you dive in deep. It's worth it!
Mac is fire, super thankful I grew up to his music, one of the few celebrity deaths next to Kobe that actually made me really sad. You got a lot of Mac Miller material to react to! 😂
I liked this a lot! Thanks for sharing your reaction :)
MM was a flow state chameleon. Dude could switch his flows like changing water
This really hurts me, I miss him. 😭 rip mac.Mac Miller- Good news please! 🙏
Also the first song I hear that got me into mac was Senior skip day. Both are classics
Cheers for the upload -love this track
my favorite parts of this track are the "down" distorted in a descending scale and the line "Somebody save me from myself". The latter hits different now that mac is gone, shit hurts
Cry every time I hear this song
“that mercedes drove me crazy i was speeding” he actually crashed his g wagon into a light pole before this song came out i can’t remember how long before it was but he’s not just saying random things. his lyrics mean things either about how he’s feeling on the inside or about what’s going/went on in his life. he’s such an underrated artist. i’ve put multiple people into his music that never even gave him the time of day. and after i show them a few classics they go back and do homework and he becomes one of their favorite artists. RIP Mac
One of the best reactors out there you cool man
Jet fuel!!!!! The reaction video and song will be 15/15!!!
Do more Mac, please!!
🖤RIP Mac Miller 🖤
Gotta check out the weekend. I followed mac as he was coming up and outta all his work I think it's probably his best commercial song
Gotta check out more Mac! His album Swimming was released right before he passed, which is also the album this song belongs too
but his mixtape Faces is my personal favorite :)
Need more Mac‼️‼️‼️
If Mac were alive today would be one of the greatest to ever do it. He was that talented and it pains me everyday he fell to his demons. Rest in peace Malcom.
All the beats on Swimming remind me of southside Houston beats in the late 90s from artists like Fat Pat and Lil Flip. Not sure what it is about them but it gives nostalgia
React to literally anything Mac miller and i will watch it
No one will ever be like Mac miller he’s special he made his own genre rip Mac we miss you sm
The different references and subliminals is what I really loved the most about this music video. Also some eerie bars here too
I got all of his vinyl I’m a big fan
Most dope forever!
First time watching but I’ll def sub if you keep the Mac reactions coming
i really enjoyed your format, please do more mac man. this doesnt cover even a fraction of his range
I am so excited for your to go down the Mac Miller rabbit hole. To give you a small briefing. His catalog as well as his music matured along with him. He is one of those artists that with time and each passing album grew as an artist and as a person. Whether it was his battle with drugs, relationships or his struggle to be a better artist, you always could tell he was putting everything is music. Now I am a few days late, but if you happen to read this. I can give you some choices for some Mac Miller content. I'm sure you'll pretty much have to cover most of the songs in his albums like Faces, Circles, Swimming, The Devine Feminine and Best Day Ever.
So here's a deep cut.
Larry Lovestein & The Velvet Revival - Suspicions (from a jazz album made and arranged by Mac Miller (Larry Lovestein being one of his several alter egos))
Bro..Mac Miller is DIFFERENT. Please do more, please do swimming. Loved your reactions to Sleep Token reactions gotta do Mac man. Will open your eyes and ears to beautiful music.
He's my favorite artist ever. K.I.D.S. was the soundtrack to my entire high-school experience and Swimming is now my absolute go to anytime I need to bring my vibes back into sync. I can't call Mac one of the best rappers ever (even though he is a solid quality lyricist) but he's on the short list of best artists ever.
You should react to his whole discography from start to finish. I promise you won’t be disappointed
More Mac !!
His beats are the best
Maybe think about a full album reaction of Mac or someone. Love Mac reactions.
