      I tried my freshman year, I’ll admit it. That’s when Best Day Ever dropped and I refused to listen to it and was just hatin just to hate (that was just who I was back then). About 8 months later, this shorty I was dating ended up doing a turntable mix for me of Mac Miller song to try to put me on, and because I love Turntable scratches I’m general. She was successful, and been a Mac fan ever since. Didn’t realize how his sound was legit hip-hop til I heard scratches on the songs 😂😂

    Every couple of months I find myself searching “Mac Miller Reaction” because reaction typically means it’s someone’s first time hearing it and I’d give just about anything to relive hearing Mac for the first time. You just gave me the biggest rush of emotions. I can feel, that you feel, how I feel about Mac. It’s so deep man. Thank you so much. Genuinely earned a new fan.

    Don't feel weird about crying on camera. Mac's songs hits me a lot too and even though this is like the 1,000th time I'm listening to these songs I just cried during the entire 2009 performance with you lol. It's beautiful to see real reactions and to know how much impact Mac's art has on you -- and on us. RIP Mac ❤︎

    Mac is the first celebrity I’ve actually cried for, dude got me through some rough times in my life. Ended up seeing him on his Good: AM tour and shared a joint with him while he rapped on stage. He was such a kind soul. To this day my 2 year old will ask to listen to this tiny desk concert and just bob is head to the beat. Mac is a vibe and every age of person gets it.

    Another aspect to why Mac was so soulful is he played a lot of instruments and understood melodies much more than just spitting bars. He was a music Genius.
    Loosing Mac was like loosing a friend, that shit hurt bad.

    You said at the end… “this was specifically written for me” (2009)… that’s the amazing thing thing about Mac… there are millions of people that feel that same emotion. Mac was down to earth and relatable. His music (and 2009 specifically) speaks to the masses, almost everyone can relate or empathize.
    I listen to it when I’m thinking of my dad, or a few of my old home boys that I’ve lost. It reminds me of watching and living through there struggles and not being able to help them in any meaningful way. They were beautiful flawed people, and almost everyone has friends or family (past or present) that are flawed and yet still beautiful.
    Mac hits different because he had soul and was relatable.
    An this is coming from a 40 year old that listens mostly to “old rock” and country music lol…

    Haven't even started the video yet but already liking and commenting. I didn't throw Mac's name in here because he has passed, but he is one of the best white musicians period. He loved hip hop with all his heart too. My first ever concert was Mac, over ten years ago now. This man changed so many lives, inspired an entire generation of independent artists.

    No mater how hard my life gets i find myself coming back to mack randomly. I've cycled out other artists that are much newer and have realized im quick to do so.
    In macks case tho i just can't. He's got that soul and genuine heart in his music and he cared about the music but equally as important; he cared about the people who would hear it.
    Most current day (new generation) rappers im sad to say miss the mark entirely.
    Yeah sure, when its time for business we all got those back to back gun bar havin types or the fast lyrical rappers choppin the track up...or J. Cole
    I just remember when I first herd "loud" I was wrecked at a party off 2 and when I woake up and played that "frozen pizza" for the first time I was hooked like a fish. I find myself envious of those who discover him for the first time cuz the journey was well worth the wait on a new song or album drop.

    Mac Miller is In the band rather than singing/rapping Over the band. And the band is awesome for every song. Mac's timing for the clean way he holds or ends notes is so controlled. Vocal lines are exciting but so lean, not one wasted 'showing off' note.

    You should react to Tyler's Tiny Desk. His attitude and live performance is very enjoyable and entertaining.
    I recently started listening to Mac Miller and I think what makes his music so special, is that he is confident in his singing (just soul without high quality), his self-conscious lyrism and of course his optimistic attitude and soundscape.

    I just did a Pittsburg tour. Blue Slide Park, Frick Park Market, the murals, Daily Bread... it was really dope and really sad. I agree with Scru. He's the white rapper that I think transcended that label because he became one of the purest artists and not someone who exploited the culture for the wrong reasons. He is def missed and should be.

    2009 is arguably Mac’s best song of all time. It seems to hit everyone in their own way, and the fact you hadn’t heard it before makes this reaction even better. Thanks for this.
    My favorite live performance of his is Ladders on the Late Show. Would love to see you react to that one too!

    Not me over here tearing up during this entire reaction. Mac was such a big part of childhood. RIP Mac, forever missed.

    Just so you know more details about 2009. The producer of the track Eric G said "Mac just paced around the room for a little bit with the beat playing. Then he did the first whole half of the song in a pitch-black booth with no phone or anything. I don’t even know how he did it, and for it to be so meaningful. I saw him the next day and he played it for all his close friends and everyone said they cried." Mac had to be convinced to keep it on the album. If you look up mac miller 2009 discreet podcast you'll see it.
    You probably wouldn't see this but for anyone else who does just deeper meaning for the song.

    Been a fan od yours since 2019. When Mac left us, it legit felt like losing a brother. I already lost 2 of my older brothers to drugs, so these news about Mac killed me. The whole world was gray, 3 years later found his music again and actually leared to cope with the loss. Thank you for always being you, the videos you put out are always a good time.

    Never connected to an artist on an emotional level the way I have with Mac, swimming and circles are two of my favorite albums of all time. Would love to see more mac videos from you 🙌🏼

    2009 is an all time classic. KIDS was extremely special for my/our era, I still listen to best day ever frequently. “No matter where life takes me you’ll find me with a smile, pursuit to be happy got me laughing like a child, I never thought life could be this sweet it got me cheesin from cheek to cheek”

    Very few artists can have you starting a video with a fun little topic on who the best is and have you leave in tears by the end of it. He just takes you to a different plane of existence where you forget about everything else. Just him and the music left.

    I didn't get into mac until after he passed and I think it honestly hurts more than if I had been listening to him while he was still around. not only am I mourning him as an artist and person, but I also end up mourning the fact that I missed out on so much. especially since circles was the first album of his that I listened to in full and that record was a window to so much hope and artistry that we'll never get to experience with him

    • @BruvvaJosh

      Glad you found him though, a lot of us grew with him and he became a part of our lives. I was in my junior year of high school when I heard "Nike's on my feet" and became the "snapback kid" at school because of his influence, he helped me though high school when I was changing the most and becoming mature, I kept all those hats but after he passed I slowly stopped wearing them.

    His music reminds you of what it means to be human and the emotion roller coaster that is life, and you never really know what it going to happen, RIP Mac Miller and always keep those memories of 2009 and your people in your heart and mind.

    Loving the Mac reactions, you should react to some tracks from Faces like Diablo!
