It was my baby’s one year birthday yesterday and it feels like a great time to post this video- life is so precious and fleeting and valuable. Love you all and thank you for the continued support 💜 hope you enjoy the video!
we care about mental health until it’s ugly, messy, and doesn’t fit people’s “aesthetic”. depression rooms, long periods of not showering/taking care of your hygiene, etc. people don’t care about those who struggles with personality disorders, especially ASPD, NPD, and BPD, because they’re different and automatically considered bad people. thank you for making this video.
people care about mental health until they have to talk about mental illness. to the point where people never use the term 'mental illness' unless they want to say something negative, even though you can have mental illness and maintain good mental health, & you can have no mental illness and have poor mental health 🙂
So much of this - people care about mental illness as long as it they don't find it too displeasurable to look at . They care about mental illness when it is clean and contained in some capacity - but once it becomes ugly, we get treated like we're no longer people.
exactly, peoples care for mental health is so closeminded, and they completely ignore it when it becomes serious and no longer aesthetic to post about. and talking about it is "uncomfortable and triggering" when it's reality, not a butterfly world people like to put themselves in.
I'm a recovering heroin, fentanyl and crack addict. I have a little over 3 years sober and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. The only reason I got sober is bc I went to jail in 2019 and found out I was pregnant when I got there. I've seen ppl say his family and friends should have done more... you CANNOT force an addict into sobriety. They have to want it for themselves. It is no one's fault and especially not arianna grande's that he struggled and lost his battle with that struggle. RIP.
Well done that is amazing 🥰 my partner took his own life in 2020 and I have been hitting the coke hard. I cant stop I'm hoping one day I will find the strength like you. Keep up the good work 💕💕💕
I couldn't have said it any better than what you said. No one wakes up wanting to be an addict. Ive been sober for almost 4 years now, and your right. A person has got to want to quit. The withdrawals are the easiest thing about getting sober, the hardest is the fact it's a day by day thing, and it's so easy to make a couple of phone calls and you can get anything and everything you want. I battle daily with it, but at the end of the day I just say NO. if someone wants to get sober I highly recommend NOT taking Suboxone or methadone, because they say that is much harder to get off. I did it cold turkey and I made it. It's possible! Like I said you just gotta take it day by day. Best of luck to anyone dealing or going through it, the grass is greener on the other side.
@@matthewliefer6258 first time I got sober just white knuckled it too that one didn't stick. I made it almost a year. Felt foggy and like a zombie shambling through life. Not sleeping just generally uncomfortable but couldn't figure out how to make that feeling go away. Lost my job because I couldn't sleep but didn't want to get up either. So I relapsed and was full tilt again for another couple years. Wanted to get out again and Suboxone had just come out. Started on 1.5 a day. I could still function even got back to work. After about 2 months I started reducing my dose and eventually got to taking just a tiny bit daily, then just a tiny piece when I felt like I needed something to smoothe out the sharp edges which was only a couple times a week then eventually a couple times a month. I stretched that last Rx for quite a while. Took the last of it and I've been sober ever since. January 2015... I think it's all about how you use it. Some folks get on it and stay on it maybe forever and I still chalk that up as a win. As long as they're taking it as prescribed and have given up that shit off the street. It's no different than medication a patient with heart issues takes daily to survive or an antidepressant/mood stabilizer depression sufferers take daily. In the end it's about harm/risk reduction. It's a place holder to fill that gap and since they're doing it by the book so no risk of arrest or losing a job to a dirty drug screen. I used it to step down while also addressing the mental demons that drove me to use, had I not been able to get a grasp on them I'm sure I would've stayed on the medication longer. For some people it takes a lifetime to unpack what they've been through and so they still need that raft.
*It's really messed up how many people still blame Ariana Grande for his death,* despite his drug use predating their relationship and it being long over when he died!
I think why people accost Grande is because her and mac knew each other before the fame. People have a thought that when Grande was blowing up Mac couldn’t handle what she was telling him she would have to do to reach the next plateau of stardom. The drugs were his way of coping with knowing she was selling out to become an icon. Obviously this is all speculation but if you take a birds eye view the logic could be there. So sad to see such a bright light go so early. Kids was def an album that touched my soul as a youth. Hope he’s resting easy. Love
THANK YOU. Mac Miller has touched so many souls. Including my own on a deep level. His music is one that has saved me. Multiple times. It’s so heartbreaking that his presence isn’t here anymore. Thank you for making this video and doing him justice. Not many UA-camrs or people in general have talked about him and his powerful impact.
I can already tell that this video is gonna be heavy, But i'm ready for an hour of drawing and listening to your calming voice narrate this lost soul's life.
Mac whole heartily saved my life. Being from Pittsburgh brings me so much joy when I think about the town we have shared. I hope he’s looking down of all of us, cause I continually look up at him. My heart breaks for him, but I know his soul is at peace.
I’m also from Pitt and I gotta say there’s something special about the artists from our town :) there’s always a sense of community when I think abt ppl like Mac
Macs story is so close to my heart. I started doing drugs listening to him and got clean listening to him. And the while, becoming an adult. His death hit me so incredibly hard. It breaks my heart that his music saw me through to the other side but he didn't make it with us. R I.P. Mac.
I knew almost nothing about Mac before this video other than him being Ariana Grande's ex so I feel really sad that I wasn't aware of his creativity and lovely spirit in the time he was with us. I hope his loved ones have been able to heal and remember the sweet parts of his life
I started getting into his music in college, right around when Divine Feminine came out. He introduced me to Anderson Paak, my favorite artist, saw him live he even did a tribute to Mac in his concert. It was really full circle and sad, he was the first artist I felt I actually mourned. I never understood that with celebrity deaths until Mac Miller. It does make me sad though that I didn't get to learn much about him as a person until his death, or ever see him live.
It is so odd with Mac Miller. I can rarely listen to a lot of his music or interviews without tearing up like a baby. I have this warped sense of survivors guilt because he has legitimately saved my life, multiple times. The countless hours I have spent crying with him in my ears is insane. So when he passed it really hit hard, and to this day I haven't fully accepted it. He was truly a pure soul, sensitive and thoughtful. His humor and wit was beautiful, but from personal experience, I know it covers up a lot of pain/hurt. I just could never express my appreciation for his existence, and just hope that his soul is finally at peace. He was simply a beautiful person. Kudos on the video. I am one of those who still searches for Mac videos or reactions daily. lol But with saying that, I can easily say this is the best video I have seen on him, especially with the angle you took. It was honestly lovely and pleasure to watch. I hope you or anyone reading this has a lovely, safe and positive weekend!
Right there with you my dude. Not a day goes by that I don’t get choked up listening to his music. If you haven’t checked it out yet, there’s a really REALLY good Swimming Breakdown on UA-cam. Just look up “The Importance Of Swimming” it’s almost an hour long. It’s hands down THE BEST album breakdown I’ve come across. Most Dope 💙
I'm closing in on my 50th year alive. I was a young man in the 90's, when Grunge hit, & multiple artists died, overdoses & suicide, similar to the famous artists from the late 60's. All of these artists communicate universal feelings, the issues & problems we face. Humans have never figured out how to teach experience. I could have sat Mac down, shared my experiences with feeling unbeatable, immortal, above the rest of humanity, I could have shared my journey to where I am now. But it never really works that way, you can warn people, you can advise people, you can beg people, & they grow or change on their own time. So what solutions exist? For anyone now, get into therapy, try psyche meds, get sober. But for future generations, & how to deal with the fact that humans shit on each other every day? That requires huge changes. We learn nothing about mental health tools, nothing about good parenting, nothing about making & maintaining good boundaries, nothing about healthy relationships. Using just parenting as an example, we get our ideas about that based on our families & families in our orbit, like your friend's family. We often either repeat the mistakes or we make an effort to not repeat them but we make all new mistakes. We go into the world & get hurt & then we hurt the next person, they go hurt another, & that cycle can either continue or we work to fix ourselves. Its scary & hard at first but it does get easier. But people talk more than they take action. parenting classes exist, mental health professionals exist, sober meetings exist. Great video, as usual, & happy birthday to the baby! I can't believe its been a year already.
Wait till you’re in your 60s! You get even smarter. 🫵🏻☺️👍🏻💛 Spot on. I’m losing my Sister in the next 24 hours to colon cancer. I find that these days I am more patient and kind with strangers. Even in my car! That was usually no place for children! Everyone is going through something to some degree. That’s just the way life is any more. It’s very dark and violent out there and it’s getting to everyone. 🤷🏼♀️
@@lorichaudhry7290 So sorry for your impending loss. Thank you both for sharing your perspective. It does feel like a cycle that just keeps repeating without end, but that's an even better reason to start trying to help others now. Y'all take care.
@@clairepettie She left us yesterday at 12:30 pm. Today is officially “Nonday” to our family now because we were going through the motions. We’re going to be all right. Thank you again for sharing. 🙏
@@lorichaudhry7290 so sorry to hear this about your sister. I have Crohns but I have no way to imagine the difficulties of colon cancer. Many blessings & sincere condolences to you & your family. ❤️❤️❤️ from Brisbane .
It’s unfortunate that Mac Miller has already passed. He had some great potential, but that dwindled down as he was facing with his own struggles with mental health and drug and substance abuse and addiction. You’ll never what a person is hiding. They could be going through a lot and there’s so much that they aren’t telling you. Whenever you can, help people who are going through the issues that Mac Miller has previously dealt with. Helping can make such a huge difference in somebody else’s lives. This video is so well researched and informative. Mac Miller was also known to be Ariana Grande’s now former boyfriend. It’s tragic how their relationship ended abruptly. Mac just wasn’t feeling himself. He could’ve changed, but it’s too late.
I really enjoyed your documentary! Mac wrote his own songs, played all the instruments, and performed them live. He reminds me a lot of myself. RIP MAC MILLER
The editing is immaculate. I love the clear love and care that was put into this video. Mac would love it and you should be proud of your work, as always!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I love Mac so much and I am so happy to see you covering his story. He impacted so many of us on this planet and I miss him everyday:(
Damn, you really left me crying over a man I never knew. I vaguely knew Mac Miller existed, but I'm not really one to follow celebrities and I don't normally listen to music in the genre he was in. I knew of his death and the situation with Arianna Grande, but I didn't really follow it, just watched a couple commentary videos about it. This video really helped me better understand and sympathize for what some of my friends were going through during the news of his death.
I’m 29 years old & grew up in Pittsburgh. Mac Miller was such a hometown hero when I was in high school and watching him make it big was everything to the youth of Pittsburgh. Mac Miller playing in the car, at a party, while I was just hanging with friends felt like we were honestly listening to a peer & not just some rapper or someone we didn’t know. We knew him because we were him. When he passed away, I sobbed multiple nights a week into my husband’s arms. I just couldn’t believe I would never hear new music again from Mac & that our hometown hero was gone - everyone in Pittsburgh adores him. Mac Miller was the soundtrack to some of the most fun & carefree years of my life - I wouldn’t change it for anything.
You have the calmest voice I’ve ever heard in my whole life . I could listen to you talk all day it’s soothing and it makes things less intense . Amazing content everytime I watch , and coming from somebody whose big on commentary channels that’s saying a lot . You really can see the work you put in it! How you manage to do that while being a mom and a wife is a super power
If I heard it right, his brothers name is Miller and did all his visual art, that’s super cool he uses his brothers name in the name he had chosen to go by eventually
"Yeah, and you look good, there's light in your eyes." "Thank you, thank you, there is." his smile & genuine excitment in that moment tho. miss him so very much 🖤
I started listening to Mac when Blue Slide Park came out and I had never related to an artist so much. He brought so much comfort and made me love myself in a weird preteen time of life. He is why I am the way I am today. He radiated so much love and positivity. Rest In peace Larry Fisherman 🤍
You covered this topic with respect and I really appreciate that. As a recovering addict, it means so much to just be kind, kindness goes a long way and it’s so sad that he couldn’t make it out. I remember constantly thinking, “I’m sick and tired or being sick and tired” but it still took years and plenty of mistakes before I found a way out. Rip Mac.
Thank you for such a caring and respectful in dept analysis of Mac and his music. I'm so glad you added in his dad's speech at his memorial, I was hoping you would. It needs to be heard by many 🥺💕
I first came across Mac when he was a guest on Rob Dyrdek's show Ridiculousness. I loved his energy and how he was just there for a good time with his friend. I am by no means a fan of hip-hop/rap, but Mac definitely made his way into my heart. I found out he passed about a month or so after it was announced and I was so heartbroken. I hope he's at peace
As someone who has binge-watched your whole video catalogue - you're improving in leaps and bounds. I'm glad to see it and happy you're doing it for yourself (and your audience). Having little documentaries like this are wonderful.
I’ve been around dope friends a lot in my life and I can tell you right now this man is high 90% of the time I can hear it in his voice. rest in peace Mac Miller.
I think you should cover about James Arthur next. He has struggled a lot with his mental health after winning the x factor and included himself in many scandals. I think it would make a good video to talk about his life and the progress he's made with his life now. Lots of love💕💕
Addiction is tough. Especially opiates nowadays with fentanyl. I don’t encourage drug use, but there are test strips available, for people who are using, & it will tell you exactly what is in whatever you’re taking. It’s worth looking up if you’re someone who’s still in active addiction.
And narcan is widely available today! Look into harm reduction, it’s a way to help meet addicts where they’re at and keep them safe & alive so they can find recovery
My favorite artist of all times. I was really glad to see a creator like yourself talk about him! Had my eyes balling out the whole time I watched your video. Best song ever to me is Ladders, the lyrics just save me every time I play it. Forever grieving his loss 🙏🏽 🕊
This one hurts. I grew up in Pittsburgh and Mac miller was my first concert on my own as a teen. I can’t imagine going through high school without listening to KIDS every day. RIP
I’m a 36 year old stay at home mom and just found Mac Miller a few months ago. I had heard of him before of course but I’m usually only into rap from the 90’s and early 00’s so, didn’t bother listening to his music until recently. I so regret that- his music has had such an impact on me in such a short period of time. I wish I hadn’t slept on him when he was alive because seeing him perform would’ve been so incredible. Thank you for this incredible doc! I learned a lot more about one of my new favorite artists 💜
This was a beautiful tribute to the legacy of Malcoms life. Love your videos. As a recovering drug addict 6+ years in recovery, as well as someone who witnessed the demise and overdose death of my brother, this brought me to tears several times.
I'm so happy people remember him. He was such a big inspiration to me, and my dad adored him. My father passed down my love for him, and his music was so sad sometimes. He *was* troubled, but I was too, and I still am, but to see someone like him makes me wanna live more and see more. He was such a good person.
Girl, I turned off a Netflix documentary to watch this. That should yell you something 😏 Happy Birthday to your little one! We had ours not too far apart. I remember finding you while we were both pregnant 🧡
Mac Miller was an Angel walking among men….🕊 fly high sweet Angel, you’re still saving people’s lives with your music to this day & will continue to do so for eternity❣️
i went to las vegas for the first time and all my friends had passed out drunk and i went on the balcony to watch the sunrise. i listened to the entire swimming album and circles album balling my eyes out because of how gorgeous of a soul he was, ive never had music speak to me in the way his has. i’ll forever be great full for him, a wonderful person that was taken to soon bro😭
I remember being 17 just got the newest pair of beats headphones for Christmas and listening the wmwtso and was amazed. I had been listening to mac since 09 but man that album really was his true coming out party and was honestly probably best hip hop album of the year and that was a year with alot of great hip hop albums.
I've been a drug addict to heavy heavy drugs with my ex. My ex is still in it but I got help n back with my fam. It's hard to convince someone to get better esp if they feel INVINCIBLE to death..this seems to be a pattern I've witnessed people who overcome ODs or just don't get too damaged from dr+g use they tend to feel untouchable but they're still human. This breaks my heart I've lost 5 friends to Fent ..
I love your videos and quite honestly I think you have a real talent for sharing information in a fun and engaging way and I can’t wait till the next one comes out! 👍
He was such a gem. Im so glad to see you covering his legacy, because that is what it is. He was and always will be a legend. Be kind to others, do it for you or do it in Mac memory. He will live forever through the art he put out. He resting in power, we love you Mac 🙏🏽
I just got my tattoo dedicated to Mac. His music has healed my soul in ways I couldn't have believed. Thank you so much for this beautiful, articulate video on this beautifully flawed person with a beautiful soul.
Not even 2mins in and I'm going to cry. It's so hard for me to accept he's gone. I always felt so close to him because I felt I could relate to him so much. His death shatter the reality of my existence. My hands shake as I write this now. I miss you Mac always and forever.
Thanks for this. I discovered Mac’s music after he left this world. What a musical genius, old soul, incredible poet. He has become a staple in my soundtrack of life. Be you, you’ll be fine. MM
You never know how someone you've never met can touch your life and do it in such a huge insurmountable way. I found Mac in 2013 from a guest appearance he did on this vh1 show called single ladies and there was just something about him that made me seek out his music. I liked his music well enough and even bought blue slide park but it was macadelic that changed everything and made me a true fan. I knew from that moment on that this kid was here to stay. I've literally listened to his music at least monthly since 2013 and now there's not a week that goes by without me playing Mac Miller. He's my favorite artist and I miss him dearly. This video was very well done and I thank you for putting the time and effort in to spotlight such a talented soul. His music is truly timeless, r.i.p Malcolm Miller. 💜
I appreciate all his albums and different styles, but Faces is probably my favourite album/mixtape of all time. I recommend checking out the re-worked version released in 21, but also downloading the original mixtape since there are many samples (for example by Hunter S. Thompson) that had to be removed for the 21 version. Also, he has multiple unreleased projects that are findable online. One that was made at a similar time as "Faces", is called "Balloonerism". Definitely worth checking out if you are open to the more experimental and darker stuff!
The day he died it felt like I lost a lifelong friend. I cried in my car after school because the news broke the last class of the day. To me he was this bright soul that had a very special gift that he shared with the world. Every song he’s made just touched a deep part of my soul. He understood when no one else did. He would’ve gone on to create to many more beautiful things. I know his family is still releasing his music but it’s just not the same without him. I was going to see him in concert I had got tickets for his tour he was starting. I just wanted to see him and thank him for everything. The day they refunded my tickets I was a mess all over again.
This was really well done. I've watched every Mac documentary on YT that I can find. None of them have been this in depth and this long. You had a lot of good points and really spread the message of love and positivity. Mac was a tortured soul but actually cared about people and what they think. I can relate to the mental illness and addiction because it runs in my family and has been getting real lately. I have over 3 and a half years off alcohol and narcotics but sometimes I just want to call it quits and say F*ck it. Mac's music always helps me stay sane and gives me the courage to make it through another day. My favorite track by Mac would probably be Colors and Shapes.. Music is sometimes the only thing keeps me going when I'm feeling down and out. Lil Peep would be another doc I would love to see you do if you ever can. Thanks for this again. ✌️
Seeing the concert footage from my high school days really hurt. I feel like a part of my childhood died and I’m grieving. Mac was so unique and will be missed.
I’ve been in love with this beautiful man since I was 14. Now, I’m 25 and his face is tattooed on my arm forever. There isn’t a playlist I’ve made that doesn’t have multiple songs by Mac. Some that make me cry, some that relieve those tears, but most that make me feel uplifted and remember those simpler, younger times before I grew up. An incredibly talented lyricist, musician and producer. And an incredibly sweet, goofy, sexy man who I wish I had the opportunity to see in person. My heart breaks knowing he’s gone..
Mac has always been and will forever be my favorite artist and person. His words speak to me so deeply. He is truly missed.. not just by me… but all of his fans. He was taken away, but now he is no longer in pain.
The Divine Feminine and Swimming changed my life at a time where I was trying to find myself in my own artistry. Starting my senior year and discovering that he had passed broke me. I remember where I was when I found out.
I just want to say how much I appreciate your ability to remain respectful, kind, and not shame the people you cover for decisions they make. It can be really difficult to balance a truly in-depth look at someone's life - which involves criticism of potential mistakes they've made or struggles they've had but maintain a sense of humanity and you do it so well.
Thank you so much for this! Mac saved my life, and I’ll never shut up about how much I love him and the amazing things he did in this world Love your other videos as well!
Thank you for doing such a beautiful video about such a beautiful soul. Mac miller continues to resonate with me in such a unique way and for many different reasons throughout many phases of his career. Whether its a somber song that you relate to at your worst or a love/party song that makes you smile or dance he always had such a warm loving presence that I can never get enough of! I really do appreciate the few people on here like you to have done such an exceptional job at shedding a little light on who is undoubtably my favorite artist and one who was gone far too soon for such great adaptive talent. RIP to Mac and all the Larrys
I met him a couple months before he passed. The sweetest celeb I’ve ever met. I love him. I also love your coverage & view on people. Beautiful. Love this.
Look into his music he made under the name Larry lovestien!!! It’s jazzy and he sings. It’s my favorite :) thanks for this video- such a bittersweet story to tell. I love Mac so much 🤍
I love how much different kind of music Mac dabbled with, he is so creative I still find out new things about his music. Ty I don't think I've heard this before!
as someone who loves mac to tears, thank you for covering his story in such an amazing way. also- favourite songs: the spins, fight the feeling, come back to earth, and congratulations
I’m coming back to watch this later but THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS Mac is my absolute favorite person to ever walk the planet. He deserved so much more light and happiness
this hits me so differently because this is my hometown. pittsburgh is my city, my entire life has been rooted here... i see addiction and the people it affects all the time. it makes that compassion for someone else's pain so much stronger when i understand the context intimately
I love the respect and research you did into hip hop ..love your work on this one..one of my fave songs he did was Dang w Anderson Paak off the Divine Feminine album..they had a great chemistry on that one and Pomo’s production was the cherry on top
Thank you for this Doc, I didn't know about him because I don't listen to rap, but it's always important to talk about these topics. I really wish he got more help 🖤
I wanna say circles is my favourite song, but that whole album is remarkable. Impeccable even. I highly recommend Dissect Podcast's full breakdown of this album. Even if you only listen to one episode every week. Mac Miller used to be my guilty pleasure, because, as mentioned in this video, no one took him seriously. His vulnerable honesty won my heart, and even 4 years after his passing, I still tell his story to anyone who will listen.
Oh! Also! Have you seen his NPR Tiny Desk performance? Because OMG! We also stan a rapper who collaborates with and supports queer artists in an industry where that's heavily frowned upon. Shoutout to Sid.
Born the same year as Mac I grew up listening to his music, and seeing him evolve even as I did was ironic. Going from partying and girls to the deep emotional lyrical music in his last few albums has followed me through my life. Even getting addicted to drugs, going through loss and heartbreak, I've felt it all. Mac was able to capture those feelings and put it into something beautiful like music and so many people can relate. love yuh Mac
You have no idea the amount of excitement that goes through me when I see you’ve posted. It’s like an hour of my favorite UA-cam docuseries. Great job and I can’t wait for your next vid!!
Listened to mac since 09..going on that ride with him growing up was something that's so hard to explain, you just had to be in the know. His music is timeless and one of the most impressive progressions as an artist I've ever witnessed. Hope yoube listened to his discography in order cause it really is astounding. RIP Mac
You did an awesome job putting this video together! People, including myself, always gravitate forwards fixing “ broken “ people. I find myself trying to reverse engineer a troubled person’s thoughts to figure out how and why they ended up there. This is a tragic tale but people could learn a lot from watching this!
It was my baby’s one year birthday yesterday and it feels like a great time to post this video- life is so precious and fleeting and valuable. Love you all and thank you for the continued support 💜 hope you enjoy the video!
aww how is the baby doing?
happy birthday to the baby!
happy belated birthday to your precious little one 🥰
Send our wishes
happy birthday to them!

Man, the depression rooms are no joke. Literally trying to get mine together right now but it just feels like it's too much.

@@camlelelelele exactly!
I'm a recovering heroin, fentanyl and crack addict. I have a little over 3 years sober and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. The only reason I got sober is bc I went to jail in 2019 and found out I was pregnant when I got there. I've seen ppl say his family and friends should have done more... you CANNOT force an addict into sobriety. They have to want it for themselves. It is no one's fault and especially not arianna grande's that he struggled and lost his battle with that struggle. RIP.
Congrats! I'm almost five years sober from heroin as well
Well done that is amazing 🥰 my partner took his own life in 2020 and I have been hitting the coke hard. I cant stop I'm hoping one day I will find the strength like you. Keep up the good work 💕💕💕
You have an amazing soul and I wish you the best on your journey ❤
I couldn't have said it any better than what you said. No one wakes up wanting to be an addict. Ive been sober for almost 4 years now, and your right. A person has got to want to quit. The withdrawals are the easiest thing about getting sober, the hardest is the fact it's a day by day thing, and it's so easy to make a couple of phone calls and you can get anything and everything you want. I battle daily with it, but at the end of the day I just say NO. if someone wants to get sober I highly recommend NOT taking Suboxone or methadone, because they say that is much harder to get off. I did it cold turkey and I made it. It's possible! Like I said you just gotta take it day by day. Best of luck to anyone dealing or going through it, the grass is greener on the other side.
@@matthewliefer6258 first time I got sober just white knuckled it too that one didn't stick. I made it almost a year. Felt foggy and like a zombie shambling through life. Not sleeping just generally uncomfortable but couldn't figure out how to make that feeling go away. Lost my job because I couldn't sleep but didn't want to get up either. So I relapsed and was full tilt again for another couple years. Wanted to get out again and Suboxone had just come out. Started on 1.5 a day. I could still function even got back to work. After about 2 months I started reducing my dose and eventually got to taking just a tiny bit daily, then just a tiny piece when I felt like I needed something to smoothe out the sharp edges which was only a couple times a week then eventually a couple times a month. I stretched that last Rx for quite a while. Took the last of it and I've been sober ever since. January 2015...
I think it's all about how you use it. Some folks get on it and stay on it maybe forever and I still chalk that up as a win. As long as they're taking it as prescribed and have given up that shit off the street. It's no different than medication a patient with heart issues takes daily to survive or an antidepressant/mood stabilizer depression sufferers take daily. In the end it's about harm/risk reduction. It's a place holder to fill that gap and since they're doing it by the book so no risk of arrest or losing a job to a dirty drug screen. I used it to step down while also addressing the mental demons that drove me to use, had I not been able to get a grasp on them I'm sure I would've stayed on the medication longer. For some people it takes a lifetime to unpack what they've been through and so they still need that raft.
*It's really messed up how many people still blame Ariana Grande for his death,* despite his drug use predating their relationship and it being long over when he died!
wait, people blame ariana? that’s really fucked up
@@rowan. yes
I have never seen anyone say that before. Then again knowing how people are momos I wouldn't be surprised
@@aw2584 I've definitely seen it and it's gross af.
I think why people accost Grande is because her and mac knew each other before the fame. People have a thought that when Grande was blowing up Mac couldn’t handle what she was telling him she would have to do to reach the next plateau of stardom. The drugs were his way of coping with knowing she was selling out to become an icon. Obviously this is all speculation but if you take a birds eye view the logic could be there. So sad to see such a bright light go so early. Kids was def an album that touched my soul as a youth. Hope he’s resting easy. Love
THANK YOU. Mac Miller has touched so many souls. Including my own on a deep level. His music is one that has saved me. Multiple times. It’s so heartbreaking that his presence isn’t here anymore. Thank you for making this video and doing him justice. Not many UA-camrs or people in general have talked about him and his powerful impact.
Thank you so much and I really hope I can do his legacy justice in this video
💯
lol
@@gregwolfe8693 ok? Was the lol necessary? We’re talking about someone’s tragic death.
@@cruelworldhappymindyou definitely did do his legacy justice, thank you ❤️
I can already tell that this video is gonna be heavy, But i'm ready for an hour of drawing and listening to your calming voice narrate this lost soul's life.
💜
I miss Mac so bad man. The universe knew we needed his art. His music got me through the toughest times in my life and for so many others.
Mac whole heartily saved my life. Being from Pittsburgh brings me so much joy when I think about the town we have shared. I hope he’s looking down of all of us, cause I continually look up at him. My heart breaks for him, but I know his soul is at peace.
I’m also from Pitt and I gotta say there’s something special about the artists from our town :) there’s always a sense of community when I think abt ppl like Mac
keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes
Macs story is so close to my heart. I started doing drugs listening to him and got clean listening to him. And the while, becoming an adult. His death hit me so incredibly hard. It breaks my heart that his music saw me through to the other side but he didn't make it with us. R I.P. Mac.
I knew almost nothing about Mac before this video other than him being Ariana Grande's ex so I feel really sad that I wasn't aware of his creativity and lovely spirit in the time he was with us. I hope his loved ones have been able to heal and remember the sweet parts of his life
I started getting into his music in college, right around when Divine Feminine came out. He introduced me to Anderson Paak, my favorite artist, saw him live he even did a tribute to Mac in his concert. It was really full circle and sad, he was the first artist I felt I actually mourned. I never understood that with celebrity deaths until Mac Miller. It does make me sad though that I didn't get to learn much about him as a person until his death, or ever see him live.
Same. This is so sad. 😢
It is so odd with Mac Miller. I can rarely listen to a lot of his music or interviews without tearing up like a baby. I have this warped sense of survivors guilt because he has legitimately saved my life, multiple times. The countless hours I have spent crying with him in my ears is insane. So when he passed it really hit hard, and to this day I haven't fully accepted it. He was truly a pure soul, sensitive and thoughtful. His humor and wit was beautiful, but from personal experience, I know it covers up a lot of pain/hurt. I just could never express my appreciation for his existence, and just hope that his soul is finally at peace. He was simply a beautiful person.
Kudos on the video. I am one of those who still searches for Mac videos or reactions daily. lol But with saying that, I can easily say this is the best video I have seen on him, especially with the angle you took. It was honestly lovely and pleasure to watch. I hope you or anyone reading this has a lovely, safe and positive weekend!
I definitely feel you on all of this. I miss him everyday. 💜
♡♡♡
Right there with you my dude. Not a day goes by that I don’t get choked up listening to his music.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, there’s a really REALLY good Swimming Breakdown on UA-cam. Just look up “The Importance Of Swimming” it’s almost an hour long. It’s hands down THE BEST album breakdown I’ve come across. Most Dope 💙
I'm closing in on my 50th year alive. I was a young man in the 90's, when Grunge hit, & multiple artists died, overdoses & suicide, similar to the famous artists from the late 60's. All of these artists communicate universal feelings, the issues & problems we face. Humans have never figured out how to teach experience. I could have sat Mac down, shared my experiences with feeling unbeatable, immortal, above the rest of humanity, I could have shared my journey to where I am now. But it never really works that way, you can warn people, you can advise people, you can beg people, & they grow or change on their own time. So what solutions exist? For anyone now, get into therapy, try psyche meds, get sober. But for future generations, & how to deal with the fact that humans shit on each other every day? That requires huge changes. We learn nothing about mental health tools, nothing about good parenting, nothing about making & maintaining good boundaries, nothing about healthy relationships. Using just parenting as an example, we get our ideas about that based on our families & families in our orbit, like your friend's family. We often either repeat the mistakes or we make an effort to not repeat them but we make all new mistakes. We go into the world & get hurt & then we hurt the next person, they go hurt another, & that cycle can either continue or we work to fix ourselves. Its scary & hard at first but it does get easier. But people talk more than they take action. parenting classes exist, mental health professionals exist, sober meetings exist. Great video, as usual, & happy birthday to the baby! I can't believe its been a year already.
Wait till you’re in your 60s!
You get even smarter. 🫵🏻☺️👍🏻💛
Spot on. I’m losing my Sister in the next 24 hours to colon cancer. I find that these days I am more patient and kind with strangers. Even in my car! That was usually no place for children! Everyone is going through something to some degree. That’s just the way life is any more. It’s very dark and violent out there and it’s getting to everyone. 🤷🏼♀️
@@lorichaudhry7290 So sorry for your impending loss. Thank you both for sharing your perspective. It does feel like a cycle that just keeps repeating without end, but that's an even better reason to start trying to help others now. Y'all take care.
@@clairepettie
She left us yesterday at 12:30 pm. Today is officially “Nonday” to our family now because we were going through the motions.
We’re going to be all right. Thank you again for sharing. 🙏
@@lorichaudhry7290 so sorry to hear this about your sister. I have Crohns but I have no way to imagine the difficulties of colon cancer. Many blessings & sincere condolences to you & your family. ❤️❤️❤️ from Brisbane .
@@cindytartt4048
Thank you so much, Cindy. We all truly appreciate your kindness today.
It’s unfortunate that Mac Miller has already passed. He had some great potential, but that dwindled down as he was facing with his own struggles with mental health and drug and substance abuse and addiction. You’ll never what a person is hiding. They could be going through a lot and there’s so much that they aren’t telling you. Whenever you can, help people who are going through the issues that Mac Miller has previously dealt with. Helping can make such a huge difference in somebody else’s lives. This video is so well researched and informative. Mac Miller was also known to be Ariana Grande’s now former boyfriend. It’s tragic how their relationship ended abruptly. Mac just wasn’t feeling himself. He could’ve changed, but it’s too late.
💜🙏
I legit cried when I found out he passed, the only celebrity I will ever/have ever cried over. Sucha gem. Sucha king. We love you, forever ❤️
I really enjoyed your documentary! Mac wrote his own songs, played all the instruments, and performed them live. He reminds me a lot of myself. RIP MAC MILLER
The editing is immaculate. I love the clear love and care that was put into this video. Mac would love it and you should be proud of your work, as always!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I love Mac so much and I am so happy to see you covering his story. He impacted so many of us on this planet and I miss him everyday:(
Same 🥺😢 I hope you enjoy the video and I do his legacy right
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE MAC AND HE NEEDS SUCH RECOGNITION, his story is sad but his heart and music is beautiful
Absolutely! His story was so inspiring to me.
Damn, you really left me crying over a man I never knew. I vaguely knew Mac Miller existed, but I'm not really one to follow celebrities and I don't normally listen to music in the genre he was in. I knew of his death and the situation with Arianna Grande, but I didn't really follow it, just watched a couple commentary videos about it. This video really helped me better understand and sympathize for what some of my friends were going through during the news of his death.
I’m 29 years old & grew up in Pittsburgh. Mac Miller was such a hometown hero when I was in high school and watching him make it big was everything to the youth of Pittsburgh. Mac Miller playing in the car, at a party, while I was just hanging with friends felt like we were honestly listening to a peer & not just some rapper or someone we didn’t know. We knew him because we were him. When he passed away, I sobbed multiple nights a week into my husband’s arms. I just couldn’t believe I would never hear new music again from Mac & that our hometown hero was gone - everyone in Pittsburgh adores him. Mac Miller was the soundtrack to some of the most fun & carefree years of my life - I wouldn’t change it for anything.
You have the calmest voice I’ve ever heard in my whole life . I could listen to you talk all day it’s soothing and it makes things less intense . Amazing content everytime I watch , and coming from somebody whose big on commentary channels that’s saying a lot . You really can see the work you put in it! How you manage to do that while being a mom and a wife is a super power
If I heard it right, his brothers name is Miller and did all his visual art, that’s super cool he uses his brothers name in the name he had chosen to go by eventually
"Yeah, and you look good, there's light in your eyes."
"Thank you, thank you, there is."
his smile & genuine excitment in that moment tho. miss him so very much 🖤
mac literally saved my life. this video was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul
Ready to cry I miss you Mac 💛 Fly High
💜
I started listening to Mac when Blue Slide Park came out and I had never related to an artist so much. He brought so much comfort and made me love myself in a weird preteen time of life. He is why I am the way I am today. He radiated so much love and positivity. Rest In peace Larry Fisherman 🤍
You covered this topic with respect and I really appreciate that. As a recovering addict, it means so much to just be kind, kindness goes a long way and it’s so sad that he couldn’t make it out. I remember constantly thinking, “I’m sick and tired or being sick and tired” but it still took years and plenty of mistakes before I found a way out. Rip Mac.
Thank you for such a caring and respectful in dept analysis of Mac and his music. I'm so glad you added in his dad's speech at his memorial, I was hoping you would. It needs to be heard by many 🥺💕
I first came across Mac when he was a guest on Rob Dyrdek's show Ridiculousness. I loved his energy and how he was just there for a good time with his friend. I am by no means a fan of hip-hop/rap, but Mac definitely made his way into my heart. I found out he passed about a month or so after it was announced and I was so heartbroken. I hope he's at peace
As someone who has binge-watched your whole video catalogue - you're improving in leaps and bounds. I'm glad to see it and happy you're doing it for yourself (and your audience). Having little documentaries like this are wonderful.
I’ve been around dope friends a lot in my life and I can tell you right now this man is high 90% of the time I can hear it in his voice. rest in peace Mac Miller.
I think you should cover about James Arthur next. He has struggled a lot with his mental health after winning the x factor and included himself in many scandals. I think it would make a good video to talk about his life and the progress he's made with his life now. Lots of love💕💕
Addiction is tough. Especially opiates nowadays with fentanyl. I don’t encourage drug use, but there are test strips available, for people who are using, & it will tell you exactly what is in whatever you’re taking. It’s worth looking up if you’re someone who’s still in active addiction.
And narcan is widely available today! Look into harm reduction, it’s a way to help meet addicts where they’re at and keep them safe & alive so they can find recovery
Wow. I wanted to cry just seeing you’re covering this. He touched my life in such a crazy way. I wish he was still here to help me keep fighting.
My favorite artist of all times. I was really glad to see a creator like yourself talk about him! Had my eyes balling out the whole time I watched your video. Best song ever to me is Ladders, the lyrics just save me every time I play it. Forever grieving his loss 🙏🏽 🕊
I never listened to him or knew anything about him really. Crazy sad story tho. So sad to see so many die so young. 💔 Great coverage Madison!!!
This one hurts. I grew up in Pittsburgh and Mac miller was my first concert on my own as a teen. I can’t imagine going through high school without listening to KIDS every day. RIP
I’m a 36 year old stay at home mom and just found Mac Miller a few months ago. I had heard of him before of course but I’m usually only into rap from the 90’s and early 00’s so, didn’t bother listening to his music until recently. I so regret that- his music has had such an impact on me in such a short period of time. I wish I hadn’t slept on him when he was alive because seeing him perform would’ve been so incredible. Thank you for this incredible doc! I learned a lot more about one of my new favorite artists 💜
I’m almost 59, a Billie Eilish podcast turned me onto him during the dock down. He speaks to me on so many levels.
This was a beautiful tribute to the legacy of Malcoms life. Love your videos. As a recovering drug addict 6+ years in recovery, as well as someone who witnessed the demise and overdose death of my brother, this brought me to tears several times.
I'm so happy people remember him.
He was such a big inspiration to me, and my dad adored him. My father passed down my love for him, and his music was so sad sometimes. He *was* troubled, but I was too, and I still am, but to see someone like him makes me wanna live more and see more. He was such a good person.
Such a special artist, so excited to see this video. Thanks for making this 💜
Thank you 💜 hope you enjoy the video!
Girl, I turned off a Netflix documentary to watch this. That should yell you something 😏
Happy Birthday to your little one! We had ours not too far apart. I remember finding you while we were both pregnant 🧡
FR she deserves a deal with Netflix.
She's a great host, writer, editor and researcher. And movie-star looks, she really does need a bigger platform.
That you don't finish what you start??
@@jenniferstewart9012 😏😆😆 good one
Mac Miller was an Angel walking among men….🕊 fly high sweet Angel, you’re still saving people’s lives with your music to this day & will continue to do so for eternity❣️
i went to las vegas for the first time and all my friends had passed out drunk and i went on the balcony to watch the sunrise. i listened to the entire swimming album and circles album balling my eyes out because of how gorgeous of a soul he was, ive never had music speak to me in the way his has. i’ll forever be great full for him, a wonderful person that was taken to soon bro😭
He helped so many with their struggles by speaking his truth, it's just so sad that it wasn't enough to save him
Watching Movies With The Sound Off literally was and still is one of my favorite albums ever made. It got me through a lot.
I remember being 17 just got the newest pair of beats headphones for Christmas and listening the wmwtso and was amazed. I had been listening to mac since 09 but man that album really was his true coming out party and was honestly probably best hip hop album of the year and that was a year with alot of great hip hop albums.
I've been a drug addict to heavy heavy drugs with my ex. My ex is still in it but I got help n back with my fam. It's hard to convince someone to get better esp if they feel INVINCIBLE to death..this seems to be a pattern I've witnessed people who overcome ODs or just don't get too damaged from dr+g use they tend to feel untouchable but they're still human. This breaks my heart I've lost 5 friends to Fent ..
I love your videos and quite honestly I think you have a real talent for sharing information in a fun and engaging way and I can’t wait till the next one comes out! 👍
He was just pure talent. I still listen to his music almost daily & miss him so incredibly much.
He was such a gem. Im so glad to see you covering his legacy, because that is what it is. He was and always will be a legend. Be kind to others, do it for you or do it in Mac memory. He will live forever through the art he put out. He resting in power, we love you Mac 🙏🏽
I just got my tattoo dedicated to Mac. His music has healed my soul in ways I couldn't have believed. Thank you so much for this beautiful, articulate video on this beautifully flawed person with a beautiful soul.
Not even 2mins in and I'm going to cry. It's so hard for me to accept he's gone. I always felt so close to him because I felt I could relate to him so much. His death shatter the reality of my existence. My hands shake as I write this now. I miss you Mac always and forever.
Thanks for this. I discovered Mac’s music after he left this world. What a musical genius, old soul, incredible poet. He has become a staple in my soundtrack of life. Be you, you’ll be fine. MM
Now I get why my little sister cried when my husband gave her his last album. He really was a brilliant artist.
You never know how someone you've never met can touch your life and do it in such a huge insurmountable way. I found Mac in 2013 from a guest appearance he did on this vh1 show called single ladies and there was just something about him that made me seek out his music. I liked his music well enough and even bought blue slide park but it was macadelic that changed everything and made me a true fan. I knew from that moment on that this kid was here to stay. I've literally listened to his music at least monthly since 2013 and now there's not a week that goes by without me playing Mac Miller. He's my favorite artist and I miss him dearly. This video was very well done and I thank you for putting the time and effort in to spotlight such a talented soul. His music is truly timeless, r.i.p Malcolm Miller. 💜
I appreciate all his albums and different styles, but Faces is probably my favourite album/mixtape of all time. I recommend checking out the re-worked version released in 21, but also downloading the original mixtape since there are many samples (for example by Hunter S. Thompson) that had to be removed for the 21 version. Also, he has multiple unreleased projects that are findable online. One that was made at a similar time as "Faces", is called "Balloonerism". Definitely worth checking out if you are open to the more experimental and darker stuff!
Your videos are impeccable.
Thank you for all the incredibly hard work you put in.
Your channel has very quickly become one of my favourites.
LOL the stock music at 26:00 mins got my pavlovian SLO4N stan ear perked. @sloan your content always hits!
The day he died it felt like I lost a lifelong friend. I cried in my car after school because the news broke the last class of the day. To me he was this bright soul that had a very special gift that he shared with the world. Every song he’s made just touched a deep part of my soul. He understood when no one else did. He would’ve gone on to create to many more beautiful things. I know his family is still releasing his music but it’s just not the same without him. I was going to see him in concert I had got tickets for his tour he was starting. I just wanted to see him and thank him for everything. The day they refunded my tickets I was a mess all over again.
This was really well done. I've watched every Mac documentary on YT that I can find. None of them have been this in depth and this long. You had a lot of good points and really spread the message of love and positivity. Mac was a tortured soul but actually cared about people and what they think. I can relate to the mental illness and addiction because it runs in my family and has been getting real lately. I have over 3 and a half years off alcohol and narcotics but sometimes I just want to call it quits and say F*ck it. Mac's music always helps me stay sane and gives me the courage to make it through another day. My favorite track by Mac would probably be Colors and Shapes.. Music is sometimes the only thing keeps me going when I'm feeling down and out. Lil Peep would be another doc I would love to see you do if you ever can. Thanks for this again. ✌️
Seeing the concert footage from my high school days really hurt. I feel like a part of my childhood died and I’m grieving. Mac was so unique and will be missed.
The editing is impeccable! What a great video. I'm so glad a youtuber did a video like this on him.
This video nearly brought me to tears.
Rest In Peace Mac, I wish I found your music before you died.
I’ve been in love with this beautiful man since I was 14. Now, I’m 25 and his face is tattooed on my arm forever. There isn’t a playlist I’ve made that doesn’t have multiple songs by Mac. Some that make me cry, some that relieve those tears, but most that make me feel uplifted and remember those simpler, younger times before I grew up. An incredibly talented lyricist, musician and producer. And an incredibly sweet, goofy, sexy man who I wish I had the opportunity to see in person. My heart breaks knowing he’s gone..
Mac has always been and will forever be my favorite artist and person. His words speak to me so deeply. He is truly missed.. not just by me… but all of his fans. He was taken away, but now he is no longer in pain.
You know what else ebbs and flows?? These tears from my eyes! 😭😭 RIP Malcom 🙌❤️ what a great video! Thank you for making this!
I gotta say you have one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard! Happy Birthday to your baby!!!
The Divine Feminine and Swimming changed my life at a time where I was trying to find myself in my own artistry. Starting my senior year and discovering that he had passed broke me. I remember where I was when I found out.
the effort you put into these videos is so entertaining, and not unnoticed! i would LOVE to see a video like this one about lil peep
It is so heartbreaking to realize how much pain others are going through. I wish there was something we could do to help those suffering 😞
his death will always make me cry. thank you so so much for doing his story justice. it’s what he deserves
I just want to say how much I appreciate your ability to remain respectful, kind, and not shame the people you cover for decisions they make. It can be really difficult to balance a truly in-depth look at someone's life - which involves criticism of potential mistakes they've made or struggles they've had but maintain a sense of humanity and you do it so well.
Thank you so much for this! Mac saved my life, and I’ll never shut up about how much I love him and the amazing things he did in this world
Love your other videos as well!
IM EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO ALREADY!!! also happy belated birthday to your baby!! hope everything's going well aswell! :) (hope this isnt weird at all)
Of course not and thank you love! Hope you enjoy the video 💜
Thank you for doing such a beautiful video about such a beautiful soul. Mac miller continues to resonate with me in such a unique way and for many different reasons throughout many phases of his career. Whether its a somber song that you relate to at your worst or a love/party song that makes you smile or dance he always had such a warm loving presence that I can never get enough of! I really do appreciate the few people on here like you to have done such an exceptional job at shedding a little light on who is undoubtably my favorite artist and one who was gone far too soon for such great adaptive talent.
RIP to Mac and all the Larrys
I met him a couple months before he passed. The sweetest celeb I’ve ever met. I love him. I also love your coverage & view on people. Beautiful. Love this.
Look into his music he made under the name Larry lovestien!!! It’s jazzy and he sings. It’s my favorite :) thanks for this video- such a bittersweet story to tell. I love Mac so much 🤍
I love how much different kind of music Mac dabbled with, he is so creative I still find out new things about his music. Ty I don't think I've heard this before!
33:13 "... and ill probably d!e alone"
That gave me chills 👼
Saw this and legit went “f yeahhh”
Makes my days a little better when you post.
Rest In Peace Mac
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU FOR THIS😭😭
as someone who loves mac to tears, thank you for covering his story in such an amazing way. also- favourite songs: the spins, fight the feeling, come back to earth, and congratulations
I’m coming back to watch this later but THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS
Mac is my absolute favorite person to ever walk the planet. He deserved so much more light and happiness
Mac was the gold standard when it came to taking the criticism & using it to fuel his growth. He earned his bones & always kept it respectful.
this hits me so differently because this is my hometown. pittsburgh is my city, my entire life has been rooted here... i see addiction and the people it affects all the time. it makes that compassion for someone else's pain so much stronger when i understand the context intimately
I love the respect and research you did into hip hop ..love your work on this one..one of my fave songs he did was Dang w Anderson Paak off the Divine Feminine album..they had a great chemistry on that one and Pomo’s production was the cherry on top
dang is such a good song, never skip it it has this energy about it
@@liza2444 yes such a feel good song,.a true gem
Ive had to stop the video 8 times to take a break because of how hard I was crying. Malcom the sweetest soul. Rest.
I cannot waaaaaait to watch this. Favorite artist, favorite UA-cam channel? Oh gawd 😫😍😍😭
Thank you for this Doc, I didn't know about him because I don't listen to rap, but it's always important to talk about these topics. I really wish he got more help 🖤
I wanna say circles is my favourite song, but that whole album is remarkable. Impeccable even. I highly recommend Dissect Podcast's full breakdown of this album. Even if you only listen to one episode every week.
Mac Miller used to be my guilty pleasure, because, as mentioned in this video, no one took him seriously. His vulnerable honesty won my heart, and even 4 years after his passing, I still tell his story to anyone who will listen.
Oh! Also! Have you seen his NPR Tiny Desk performance? Because OMG! We also stan a rapper who collaborates with and supports queer artists in an industry where that's heavily frowned upon. Shoutout to Sid.
Born the same year as Mac I grew up listening to his music, and seeing him evolve even as I did was ironic. Going from partying and girls to the deep emotional lyrical music in his last few albums has followed me through my life. Even getting addicted to drugs, going through loss and heartbreak, I've felt it all. Mac was able to capture those feelings and put it into something beautiful like music and so many people can relate. love yuh Mac
You have no idea the amount of excitement that goes through me when I see you’ve posted. It’s like an hour of my favorite UA-cam docuseries. Great job and I can’t wait for your next vid!!
I got into Mac 3months ago and have been scrambling to learn about him. This video came at the PERFECT time!! Thank you!!!!!
Listened to mac since 09..going on that ride with him growing up was something that's so hard to explain, you just had to be in the know. His music is timeless and one of the most impressive progressions as an artist I've ever witnessed. Hope yoube listened to his discography in order cause it really is astounding. RIP Mac
Discovered Mac Miller last year. My cousin introduced me to some of his stuff during a weed session. RIP Mac.
I had genuinely never heard of Mac before this, but it just proves how engaging and informative Madison's content is!
You did an awesome job putting this video together! People, including myself, always gravitate forwards fixing “ broken “ people. I find myself trying to reverse engineer a troubled person’s thoughts to figure out how and why they ended up there. This is a tragic tale but people could learn a lot from watching this!
Just stumbled across this. Thank you for acknowledging this gem of an artist. Really makes me wanna cry rn
I want to cry every time I listen to Mac because he was an artist who UNDERSTOOD. you could tell in his music
I knew Mac as I lived close to him growing up. Always has been a nice guy. Rip #pittsburghlove
you always handle difficult topics like this with so much compassion, caring, and empathy. always really impresses me.
Thank you so much for this video, he always held such a special place in my heart and still does
