    Damn rest in peace Malcolm. I was able to briefly meet/hang out with him when I was with a small group of friends which included Sophia Kelly and then we went to go hang out with her sister Julia. I can’t tell you what a huge fucking shock it was when we got there and I saw Mac mother fucking Miller there and even though I was on the inside, I did not want to freak out and be that guy because I absolutely loved and still love his music so I kept having to tell myself to just act like I don’t know who he is at all. Honestly he was just a super down to earth guy who was beyond nice and really funny with 1 liners. I wish there was a way I could post a picture on here with this comment because LMFAO 🤣 at the end of the night when we were tipsy and about to leave, I asked him if I could get a picture with him so that I could show/prove to the other guys in my platoon and Mac goes “Oh hell yeah, you gotta hold me up though” and then he proceeded to jump on my back for a piggyback ride for this photo and afterwards he shook my hand and said “Thank you for your service and be safe. Make sure to pass that along to your other Marines too” Even though we only talked briefly for part of a night, he was honestly just a really nice, awesome, and friendly dude who was the type of person who could get along with basically anyone and he definitely is still missed to this day. Fuck fentanyl and booze

    My 16 yr son is a huge Mac fan. He went to Pittsburgh for a memorial concert with my BiL, which was cool. I'm a big John Mayer fan since the beginning. However, I do appreciate Mac. His rap is different. I get the sense he understands music and theory. He has real instruments and musicians playing behind him. I didn't want to discount my boy's music just because it was new to me. I gave Mac a listen. He is is real. John and Mac seem like a weird combo, but if you know both artists work, it totally makes sense. BtW, my son loves John's work as well.

      Not sure if you know... but the Young Man has passed away a few years back, you really be adamant with your son (particularly now he is at the EXACT age of introduction [or was at the time of your posting a year back] that opiates are the devil in tangible form. It robbed us of a hip-hop artist that had true musical artistry behind his content, despite being a bit of a player when it came to the girls... dude was humble, intelligent and respectful to the many cultures surrounding all types of music.
      Now, I'm a much more enjoyable and positive vibe.... Here is the link to, what I think, is HANDS DOWN the best example of anything ever done by Mac in his music career.
      UA-cam Search: "Tiny Desk - Mac Miller"
      The entire three track video is beautifully performed in a very organic and real way... but, the song they are referencing: Small World, is the third.
