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.

What's the one song or album of Mac's that you would have loved to be in the studio for? And where were you when you first heard it?
Tough one:
Him with absoul, kdot, fre$h, paak, Killa Kyleon, big KRIT, skateboard p….just to see the spittas gave it up to him.
Definitely NOT godspeed!
😭😭😭😭
Shout out Creed
.not a song in particular but I would have loved it to watch him put together “ Swimming " 😪😪😪 ...
Rush Hour, undeniably one of the best songs. The beat sounds like a sample and is completely original.
Imagine if mac never died and continued to release albums, we would have so many classics he only has gotten better over time. RIP MAC 💔🕊
You could say that about dozens of artist..
@@LifesLessons100Of course you can but this video is about Mac.
@@SelfMade717 very true!
The most progressive/growthful rap artist IMO
Pink slime
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.
LOVE 🤟
You’re one lucky man
most dope forever man. wish i got to meet him
92 till infinity ❤️🕊
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.
Go check it out
Macs catalogue will go down as one of the greatest in rap. Not everybody understood his music, cause not everybody sees the world for what it truly is. Rip Larry 🎣
❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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.
So true. Incredibly well put
What pains me the most is thinking about the future music and impact that Mac would have had on the world. His progression as an artist from KIDS to Circles is mind blowing. RIP MAC 🕊
Every time I find a Mac song I haven’t heard it’s like finding a gift from God. I miss this man so incredibly much. Mac Miller is a life changer. Rest In Peace to The Most Dopest🕊🕊
Earth- monday- moneyshot- maybe you haven’t heard one 🤟🏼
@@Mojo_Jo_Jo_ God bless you🙏
Check out his freestyles out Sway in the morning and on funk flex. Both are classics. Enjoy brotha
@@Mojo_Jo_Jo_ the best freestyles ever spit! Mac was truly on another level
If you want the best freestyle ever spit check out Big L 7 minute freestyle with jays the full version
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.
What’s your passion?
Not a day goes by where I don’t listen to Mac. Never met him personally but his music makes me feel like we’re great friends getting to reconnect from different dimensions and he’s telling me that everything will be okay.
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.
Facts that's when he hit his stride and just kept getting better still sad he's gone
Faces was his best work
@@JoeTroyynever felt a project have so much raw emotion
@@nickglowski602 hope they played funeral at his funeral dope song
Wasnt he 28 tho?
This was one of the most fun videos to work on in the deep dive series. Rest in peace to the one and only Malcom! 🕊️
Legend!!!
Never let the memory of this sweet man fade, never.
The simple fact that there is not one negative thing to find in the comments say more than enough.. amazing artist, forever missed!❤
This is the content we want HiphopDX
Got you! More to come
You don't even have to have known Mac personally to recognize just how rare of a soul he was.
What’s crazy is that he looked so damn good when he passed. The best physically I’ve seen him in years. So odd. Rip Mac
I cried uncontrollably all these years about his death. I just now got over it. Night after night I find myself sad missing Mac man
I still haven’t gotten over it man I miss him so much 😭😭😭
@@shannonheeter5763 fr man best and worst of times
the algorithm chose real Mac fans to see this & yes i did the creed impression bro lol
True and hahaha amazing!
He was hands down one of the most generous rappers ever.
I can’t stress to you enough how grateful I am to y’all for this video.
grateful for your watching it!
It’s so rare to see a musicians soul shine through their music, he did that and we miss it so much
He is indeed one of a kind. Thank you for your efforts. This documentary is amazing.
Definitely need a video on the Pink Slime project. That's one of those albums where I wished it released and I've came to the acceptance that it never will.
His postivie energy is so strong that even when he looks at the camera I feel like his best friend. RIP Mac.
Thank you for the incredible mini doc. Hearing people speak on Mac's behalf is nothing short of tear jerking, I really wish we got more time with him, not just for his music but for his person. the aura that man radiated shines so true through all these artists.
Thanks for watching. Agreed
One of the greatest creative minds to grace this planet. Rip Mac
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.
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
Coming from someone that was listening and watching Mac Miller since the age of 10 he changed my life if it wasn’t for him I don’t think I’d be as thoughtful or creative when making art or living life his music and personality still is so inspirational
Such a genuine artist and only a few I would say that inspire me to purely create. He seemed to truthfully enjoy what he did in an industry where there's so much pressure to be performative and gimmicky. Long Live Mac
Seeing the shot with him and Rick Ruben man, that should have been Mac in 40 years
Even though I think this one hasn’t been released yet because it keeps getting taken down from YT, the song “Pure” is such a great song. His lyrics in that song are like the definition of where he was heading to me. R.I.P. Mac
I wish my younger self could be in a studio sesh with younger Mac when he was making The High Life & stuff. Cause I know he the type to keep his friends around for the come up. Thanks for making this video. I love videos that humanize him while still showing how talented he was musically.
Thanks for watching and glad it could do that for you!
I from Pittsburgh born and Raised I really just became aware of his music but I am proud of him and wiz . Are city is known for blue collar workers and football but we have so much talent here and he definitely represents us well .
Still don’t feel like he’s gone with how much he’s still on rotation.. RIP King 😢
the little clip with thug make me tear up a bit, when he said "thats crazy" life happens so fast.. you dont wanna miss that
Swimming -
I wish I could have been in the studio 🎙️ with Mac during this time. .
That whole album saved my life.
I've been sober 5yrs now and while I was detoxing and starting my life over this album was in the background of this life change.
Self-care - was the change I needed.
Being in the studio 🎙️ with him at this time would have been a once ina lifetime experience for me ❤️
❤Mac Miller 🩶
Congrats on 5 years
I really can't imagine what hip hop would be like if the red room era never happened the growth this man had as an artist and the influence on others around him to become artists or explore it more has had such a large impact on my childhood thank you Mac
Mac miller was literally just getting started. He already had thousands of songs ready to be released by blue slide park or pink slime. I forgot but mans was a hard worker like pac. Most underrated rapper producer musician of my era. My all time favorite artist 🤙🏽 inspired me to do better and got me through high school break ups etc man. 🔥🌴
I really wish he didn't die. It's rare an artist effected me so much. Man i loved him in my 20s. He kept evolving with each album. Such a bummer.
Mac Miller the track killer. Such a genuine talent
the last minute of this video just brought so much happiness to my soul. Thank you for putting this together, I loved every second of it!! RIP MAC 🕊💙
I miss him,he was such a happy fellow musically talented
Listen to Mac everyday for years and years!! Malcom’s music has saved me during the darkest times and been there during the best times!! Grateful for what he left is with but definitely gone wayyy to soon…
First song I ever heard was Loud. I had just gotten kicked out of private school. I was locked in my room for 2 years only allowed to eat and read and online school.
I started listening to Mac daily, like 24/7.
I then started writing lyrics myself.
All these years I’m still doing it, and making my own beats like he did.
Mac opened my eyes to music when I was 16 years old. Ever since then iv spent almost every spare second working on making songs from scratch.
Rip Mac. He’s my idol. And always will be. ❤
Man why did you have to make me cry like this 😭😭 I continue life as a programmer and find inspiration in the beauty of the life of Mac Miller even in my own walk of life. His message goes far beyond that of just music, I truly believe that as a creative, there is a lesson to be learned in the struggles of his life. R.I.P. a beautiful soul, you continue to inspire all, in all walks of life. I love you. Truly.
I knew who Mac was but didn't get onboard until he was doing his press tour on Shade45 dropping WATCHING MOVIES WITH THE SOUND OFF. I thought like what Tyler had done around that time with WOLF that he had a timeless Classic. I went back to the mixtapes before FACES (MY ALL TIME FAVORITE) and this kid really GREW!! Mac, Earl, Tyler and Vince Staples were my goto players of the 2010 time
I never knew about day before. That gave me the chills. I would love to have been in the studio when he made grandpa used to carry a flask, self care and more I can’t think of rn.
We have to dig into pink slime. They have to release it. It’s understandable that it wasn’t quite what he wanted everyone to hear, but it helps fulfill the part of the story that is missing. Keep his legacy alive.
I just bought “Most Dope” by Paul Cantor and I cannot wait to read it. I’m hoping there’s some of what’s in this video in the book as well. Mac was really something else; one of my biggest inspirations and his presence is still missed.
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
We miss you Mac. It never gets easier
I saw him way back during the blue slide park tour. I'll never forget it. Miss you everyday Mac
There's a lot of amazing and goated artists but for me mac has and always will be my all time favorites musician, he was so musically gifted and was able to use so many different sounds and make it such a great track. Truly the definition of what a musician is. ❤
I just wish i could've done anything for mac on the level of what his music has done for me.
I wouldn’t be here without his music. He inspires me so much to spread joy and kindness in this world. To be a kind soul. To live. Sending love to all my fellow Macheads. Can’t wait to meet up with y’all again next September in Pittsburgh❤️
RIP A TRUE LEGEND.... WE MISS YOU MAC 🙏🏿
This was too short... Wish it was longer. RIP Mac. This guy was fire❤
Best day ever studio session would have been amazing to witness
Loved your post. I never get tired of Mac! I’m 65 and I always get so much joy from his music. Always having a new favorite. Lord I miss him but am so grateful I believe he’s in Heaven and will never have to suffer again! Thanks again
Your one cool 65 year old
I would’ve loved to be in the studio during kids. I feel like he was so hype during that and happy
22:00 - he even misses Best Day Ever and Larry Lovenstein projects. so much work
Pittsburgh,PA legend😤😤 we got so many goats who just die or forget about our city😢
"You speak with your hands" mac Miller , we miss you ❤
Mac Miller is one of my biggest inspirations for creating music and i hope to one day change peoples life’s with my music, my son was born 3 years ago and named after Mac.
Being there for The Divine Feminine would have been something else. Watching how he and Arianna interacted along with Ceeloo and Kendrick. Something about Faces is also appealing, the mind alterations and breakthroughs that would have been experienced. The interdimensional being that is Mac Miller has profoundly impacted so many. I am so fortunate to have been along for the ride.
This is the first time ina fat minute I truly been invested in a vid from hiphopDX. Please make more content like this🔥
This is why his passing was so hard for me. The ability he has was mind-blowing, but I have always thought wherever we go when we die, it always takes the best of us early. Maybe they are the ones ready for that next place whilst the rest of us need way longer to figure it out.
Man, thank you for making this. Its amazing.
i miss mac so much. there’s no artist like him today
It’s sad he passed but after Swimming in Circles it’s almost like he knew. If you listen to his music. He always knew and for some reason maybe life was just to hard and it was time. That’s what helped me get through his death. The thought of oblivion for him.
This was beautiful. Thanks for this. Brought
Me back to the good old days
Killer video man, thank you for this! 🥹
I would love to see him create aquarium that song completely changed my perception of how I view the world and myself.
Mac is one of the best hands down
Mac still gets me through some of my toughest battles. R.I.P 🙏🏽
Unfortunately I discovered Mac Miller way to late after his passing, but dude was an artist throughout, a legend. I love his work except for the young era stuff (bit too cheesy) , but his jazz and later stuff was real real good, and have it on repeat almost daily.
i wish they was more footage available to public of mac in the studio
the musicality mac had we will never get to hear again, RIP Beautiful Soul
remember listening to mac in middle school 😊
Being a fly on the wall for the studio time with Earl Sweatshirt would have been unreal.
I'm sure i am just speaking into the same vein here, but a part of me died when we lost Mac.
Mac’s Swimming will always continue to help get thru those hard days. Rest in Peace Mac 🕊️
This he why I love Mac. He was a multi-instrumentalist, a great lyricist, really just a master of his craft. His synth playing especially is just a work of art.
Love this documentary! Would love to see Mac recording Circles!
Same!
RIP you Legend 🙏🏻🧡
Man I strive to be half of what he was. As an artist but also as a person.
I think the song ""Of The Soul " really hit me the hardest 🖤
I was anticipating some words from ScHoolboy Q or even some footage of them. They were like brothers mane.
Ikr, that video of schoolboy q crying over Mac’s death made me cry
His transition still hits me hard. ❤️🙏🏽
RIP MAC MILLER.
Young Thug's song Day Before is crazy. I often wonder what Mac was doing/feeling those final days before he passed. He seemed like he was on such a great path health-wise after releasing albums like GO:OD AM and Swimming. Obviously I never personally knew Mac or understood anything he was going through...but from the outside looking in it seemed he had finally found peace in the Swimming era
What a beautiful video. Thank you.
what a brilliant gift for us all. thank you for making this video. thank you mac for the music ❤
Here for Mac R.I.P ♥
Him talking about his studio @ 4 mins hit me deep. 🙏🏼 RIP MAC 🙏🏼
BDE would have been a crazy time because he knew his life was forever changed from the success of kids, faces time would have been exilerating because he did all of it from scratch, and then circles was just such raw emotion. Those are the studio sessions i would most have loved to be in the room and absorb the energy
Thanks for the video dude 🙏🙏
Pink Slime! Great video!
This yall best post in a loooong time!
Props to you guys making this awesome vid
