@@JoshDoob did you end up getting anything ? I really wanted the deluxe edition but for me and import to where I live is extremely costly. I got the clear vinyl.
since ballonerism dropped, it's bugged me how people are reacting to it, the shock on how much mac talked about death is the major reaction. which to me seems like a constant state mac was in especially since watching movies, in Perfect Circle (GOOD AM) literally, tragically, talks of how he died, asking his plug not to mix his drugs with shit that might kill him, how he addresses his mom, the song still gives me chills to this day! and since his death, I've noticed the same thing in a majority of his songs, which really makes me wonder how Mac was so prepared, so aware, so ready for death. he really did leave a lasting legacy! RIP Mac Miller, there's never been anyone more realer ❤
Idk if “prepared” is the right word. I think aware of his own mortality and the consequences of his addictions is much clearer and more of how I perceived his music throughout the years. Mac constantly battled with tough existential life questions and often expressed these conversations in his mind through his music.
@@Michael-jx6xk yes, that's the more accurate way to describe it! Aware of his own mortality. And with his passing it's become a little haunting and sad to listen to some of his songs. his self awareness is a running occurrence in I'd say most of his albums, which emphasized his authenticity even more in his songs and lyrics.
Yes. Mac was a musician as well. Em's "just" an MC and the rapper and artist at all. That also adds to Macs art bein art at its most artistic form or how to put IT.!@@devin4894
OFFICIAL RELEASE SOON AHHHHHH SO EXCITED they been dropping his music very well since his death all I can do is hope this and the maclib album come out the same way 😭
Faces is my favorite too and when I found this video saying Balloonerism was made during the same time, I get 10x more excited for this album! can't wait
Ight so a quick update, I was able to find Balloonerism on soundcloud… what an insane masterpiece. Definitely like Faces as far as theme. Thank you Mac.
EDIT : BALLOONERISM OUT SOON BABY LETS GO!!!! Balloonerism would've been an insanely good project if it was polished even further because as it stands now it's already amazing. I've managed to get a hold of the files a couple of months back because I was curious, and not all of them are my favorites but whooooh, some of em. Absolute highlights are Manakins and Funny Paper, but the best song off of it has to be the penultimate track Tomorrow Will Never Know. It feels like he's speaking to every single broken person who listens to the track, begging the question if others would ever understand their pain with the repeating phrases of "Do they _ just like you do?". Being 12 minutes long and the lyrics take up almost half of it, so the other half is a haunting instrumental that leaves you thinking about what Mac said. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone as it is a leak and unfinished but if you're willing to search for it it's such a worthwhile experience!
I’ve just discovered funny papers and listened to Mac since the sound cloud days. It’s a damn good song. Maybe someday we’ll get another mixtape/ album 😔
Ballonerism has become my favorite Mac project over the last year or so since I discovered it. I love how it really describes the highs and low of Mac life in that time just like you said in your video. Great job man.
@TheSuperbatboy101 I found it in a facebook Mac group. But I think you might be able to find it on reddit somewhere sometimes but gets taken down though.
Honestly macs passing hit me harder than any other artist ever, I was in high school when I started listening to him and we were the same age, his passing honestly felt like losing a friend.
I personally always loved Funny Papers off of the album and one of my favorite verses: “Cause when the snakes start slitherin’ you spot the chameleons, You realize you surrounded by reptilians.” The song as a whole to me just touches on the subject of death and birth, bunch of casual stories, the “fakeness” we can feel surrounded by in this life and of course the asking the age old question “Why does any of this matter at all?” Mac captured it all. I personally hope Ballonerism gets a full release. Maybe after Maclib whenever that project hopefully gets dropped in 2024.
@@thatblazedgamer1940 it did to a point, then dude just wasn't the same anymore after a certain time. Just like Wayne, Wayne used be a cold mf then the "prom Queen" thing happened and just like that dude sucked to me.
We gotta remember when going into this project that Mac was in a really dark point in his life and his mental headspace was deep into the void. It’s easy to fall back into depressive state when listening to my guy but dang it lol I love Mac like an older brother. Think about him every day.
Listening to Faces on mushrooms is simply amazing. Such a great record. “I end up so bitter when I lose Defeat hurts, I got scissors in my shoes”. such a great line.
The line ur talking about at 9:20 is a line about his ex gf Nomi Leasure. She wrote on Tumblr back in the day that she went to visit him in Cali but he was hardly there to be with her. Macs writing can be directly traced to alot of things she wrote as she is also a writer. An incredible relationship plagued by drugs and the industry
I remember the day Watching Movies With the sound off came out in the summer of 2013 it came out the same day as Yeezus. It came out right before I went into high school. I love that album so much
Great documentary/presentation. Really enjoyed this summary about an album that seems almost wiped from UA-cam. Thanks for taking the time to make a high quality piece
No fucking way thankyou for this upload. Please only upload this consistently high quality, no matter what the algorithm desires your fans will be here with you
I had a google drive of all Mac’s unreleased music. It was amazing I would always tell myself to download it. I never did. It was wiped out one day and I was sooo sad.I still can’t find any of those leaks. It had so many good songs on there!!!!! Damn I’m hoping they release everything he ever recorded
Same! so many good songs that disapeared, my homie who passed away had them downloaded also :( im going to go on a search for them again soon. if i end up locating them ill come back and get with you!
Great video ! Glad to find out Mac wanted this album to be released. Personally, I've listened to the project when it leaked and never went back to it for some reason it didn't hit that spot. I've also listened to the recent "official" release and it still doesn't sound good enough to be put out. I'll give it another try but I have to say that I hope there will be another project release at some point in the future because I would super sad to see his legacy end with such a bad project. For me, Swimming was his best work and that's where it ended. RIP Mac, you'll be missed...
i never listned to balloonerism out of respect for Malcolm because i wanted to stand by his choice not to release it especially since we don't know what he would have wanted due to his passing. i think thats well within his prerogative as an artist and a creative. im really glad his estate is releasing it now and it is becoming a finished peace of work. great video dude.
He’s said in an interview before that he had I believe 10 different albums or mixtapes completed around the same time and faces was the one that made it out. There’s likely hundreds more songs that are in the vault just from that period alone
The song, Do you have a destination, gives me the feeling of accomplishing my goals and achievements in life but still feeling lost thus asking myself repeatedly like in the song “where are you going” and “do you have a destination. It’s beautifully introspective. The song “stoned” reminds me of a story about a woman who uses drugs/weed to escape/cope with reality. The listener (you) try to save the woman but she doesn’t trust you, closes you out (“locked in the bathroom door”). Until you bring out the music and the drugs is only when she opens up to you. She comes to you for her problems and you try to help her. But after therapy and unsuccessful treatment, the doctor says there isn’t anything wrong with her and her parents never got along with her when she was younger thus spiraling into a drug filled chaos where it’s just you and her. This hits home from personal experience. The guitar riff is so hypnotic. Overall, I loved this album because of how dark, introspective and relatable it was. Mac was an amazing storyteller.
I had to stop listening after track 4 cause the energy felt crazy . Just goint to wait till the release date to fully listen to this album . R.I.P to a legend
ive had the vinyl for 2 years the track list is a1, Song that changed everything-sza a2, Tambourine Dream a3, Do you have a desitination a4, Stoned a5, Colors and Shapes b1, Excelsior b2, Friendly Hallucinations b3, Funny Papers b4, Manakins, Dylan Reynolds b5, He finally Sleeps b6, Transmigrations-Delusions Thomas c1, Oracle OG c2, Smile OG c3, Tomorrow Will never know c4, God Speed c5, Thats Life d1, Are we where yet d2, 5 Dollar Pony ride d3, Bobs Dimension-Hogs Beats d4, Pure-Remix d5, G Wagon d6, Uber OG proof looking at back of vinyl
I was a junior in 2010 when some white dude popped up on my tv when I was listening to Last.fm on my 360. It was Nikes on my Feet. I was hooked the moment it came on. The day he died, it was a Friday and I was at work when I found out. I cried the entire ride home and cried myself to sleep. Now, my kids ask for Mac when we’re in the car. Long Live Mac.
Balloonerism Out Soon!!!!

Man when I learned Mac died on a Friday it made that song a lot harder to listen to for me. I got into Mac sometime after he passed
Mac is the coldest white boy ever, even better than Eminem imo. His raps actually made you think,feel and question everything.
How does Eminems music not make you feel the same tho?
@@thatblazedgamer1940 it did to a point, then dude just wasn't the same anymore after a certain time. Just like Wayne, Wayne used be a cold mf then the "prom Queen" thing happened and just like that dude sucked to me.
Can’t compare the two.
Eminem sucks@@thatblazedgamer1940
Eh it’s a different vibe and different audience. Mac speaks to me more but they’re so different you can’t really compare the two
I'm glad they are finally releasing this
are you gonna do a video on its release?
@ more than likely
i love how i get this video recommended to me after the announcement of the offical release of balloonerism , thank you youtube

dude i'm so happy that one of the most contemporary and beautiful albums i'd ever listen too is finally coming to official streaming
I just hope to god that funny papers is on there one of the only songs I've cried to every time I've listened to it.
Fantastic video dude. Absolutely cannot wait for the mastered 14-track release on 1.17.24. Fav track has to be stoned or smile
I remember the day Watching Movies With the sound off came out in the summer of 2013 it came out the same day as Yeezus. It came out right before I went into high school. I love that album so much
From games to music.
From hugging to kissing.
From a boy to a man.
His life was his prime.
It was never lost, it just wasn’t out in the open. Been listening to balloonerism for years on SoundCloud
Great storytelling. Loved the animations! We miss you, Mac
fav track is 10000% friendly hallucinations, its such a comforting instrumental accompanied by sza during what id say is her best era (z)
Knowing that this is finally releasing makes my heart so happy

I was a junior in 2010 when some white dude popped up on my tv when I was listening to Last.fm on my 360. It was Nikes on my Feet. I was hooked the moment it came on. The day he died, it was a Friday and I was at work when I found out. I cried the entire ride home and cried myself to sleep. Now, my kids ask for Mac when we’re in the car. Long Live Mac.
I think my favorite songs ever from mac are "Perfect Circle/ God's speed" and "thoughts from a balcony" then anything from Swimming & Circles.
This video is great
I wish i kept the unreleased track when they got leaked 😪 they where sbsolutely amazing and i still cant find them! Anyone have them?
guess what?
"Shame my tragedy will be my masterpiece"
Are any of these songs on Baloonerism?
-Oracle
-Are we there yet?
- cable Box
- Came alone
- Empires
- Dollar Pony Rides
they are releasing the fucking albummmm
