I'm 52 years old, my son recently told me about Mac Miller, and i was like, nah, that's not my jam. He urged me to give him a chance, said: dad, you have to listen, keep you mind open, it's really beautiful, HE was really beautiful. I don't know why I assumed I didn't like him, probably some video I saw somewhere. Came home the other day after work and he was playing it on the stereo. I sat down and didn't move for 25 minutes. I was stunned by how beautiful his music was. How simple and deep his lyrics were. The beautiful layers, the lush vocal harmonies, his plaintive and authentic delivery. It was all so achingly beautiful. Such texture and gentleness. And then I wept. Openly, freely, my heart just breaking. My son emerged from the kitchen and saw me crying, and without saying a word he sat next to me and gave me a hug. Now I understand. I always tell myself, as I've always told my son, never let anyone form your opinions about music, listen and then decide, because you just might be surprised. how beautiful to have that lesson circle back and be taught to me by my son. RIP Mac Miller, your music was a gift to the world and you will be sorely missed.
What does it matter how old his age is? I’m 30 years old and I listen to Ariana Grande and Mac Miller. I didn’t care for Mac’s stuff when I first listen to it. I regret myself on not giving a second try. He was talented. As a huge Ariana Grande fan myself and never doubt yourself on giving that artist a chance. I wasn’t a Taylor Swift fan at all but after I heard her album Reputation and now I currently have Lover. I can’t stop listening to her.. Embrace these artists it’s the reason they are alive and were alive as well..
To All New Listeners of Mac Miller, Welcome and I truly mean that with open arms, I truly hope you take the time to catch up on his old music and take the time to listen to his new album that just recently dropped. Mac was a very unique artist and his new album hit my soul. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do. Let Mac Miller help you feel some vibes and help you through tough times. If you haven't heard his new album, please do and hear the emotion of a heartbroken artist, his music speaks to the soul and he even though he had his heart broken by Ariana, he was a positive spirit and his music will live on forever. Don't worry about anyone calling you fake fans, if you just now heard of him, its okay you slept on him, but he is at rest now. Take the time to listen to his new album and if you enjoy it, just continue to listen and appreciate him as an artist. Broken hearts are truly the worst thing to deal with. So any new listeners, I say welcome, and it's better late than never. I'm still in denial. I won't even type out those 3 letters, just welcome to Mac Miller and listen to his music with an open heart.
@@stffns i know man, i wanted to type that in the present tense, because he IS such a unique artist. But this is gonna be rough with his new album having so much emotion. We have to learn to accept it, and I wont bash any new listeners or call anyone fake fans. If you like the music, then continue to listen because Mac was a breath of fresh air in this rap shit.
JP.TPiVisuals New York This song will help with the coping process cause it is still such a shock but at least we still have his great music to accompany us in our remaining lives
yeah the lyricism combined with atmospheric instrumentals is an art form no doubt. only talented artist's can craft distinct moods/vibes for each of their albums
I don’t see it as a sad album I see it as a revelation a new outlook and recognizing he was what he was and not just telling us what we wanted to hear he did this for him I bet every word felt like gold to him
His song is him literally saying, I have a problem, no time to fix it, and at this point, i don’t care if it kills me, goodbye.. so sad. One of his best albums.. and in big cry for help that no one heard.. rest easy mac.✌🏼
This man knew what was comimg, he said it all the time, alludes to it in this song. The video for self care. Its all there, listen to blue slide park, macadelic, faces, watching movies with the sound off, good am, Devine feminine, and swimming. He said he was gonna die of an overdose, even though in an interview he said that was the one way he didn't want to die.. But what's a God with out a little od? Just a G. Rest in peace Mac 😢
Being a true fan means not to be riding on someone popped of trend wavy and chasing clout in a frantic and hysterical hipster esque group wearing his current success as accolades over does he deserves the fame or not bla bla bla. A true fan will truthfully understand the messages and emotionally vibe and motivation behind the piece of work. Hell be transported into all sorts of places if its a good and great artists that can truly carry themselves and their music. Hell even go so far as to buy the album and listen to it as was intended. These our for the most part our friends and family. Keep you circle in check....always. R.I.P Malcom. Fly safe up there my brother see you soon.
the night he overdoes me and my best friend were bumping this on repeat while smoking. i told her how i thought he was a true genious and i said i couldnt wait to see him prosper. he died a few hours later.
similar story here.. me and my buddy from highschool were smoking and watching his livestream late at night, talking about how he has something in his music and energy we've both never felt even similarly close in any other person. just the next morning in the car I hear the news and I couldn't believe he just left the earth when he was so grounded just a few hours before. rest easy malcom
This happened exactly the same way with me and my best friend. We were mentioning how he’s such a talented soul and we had to see when he was gonna come to our city for a concert then he passed the next morning.
I’ve been grieving for this man I didn’t even know since I found out he passed. He had so much sadness and kindness in his heart that it makes his death even more tragic. Swimming has definitely spoken to me about how struggling with depression and the thoughts in your head can be so toxic. I hope he is finally at peace and can rest forever 💔
I love the fact I got to see Macs original sound and how it’s changed with himself and myself. I truly got to grow up with his music, it’s actually incredible to say the least.
Him sitting in his coffin shaped submarine "treading water" with dirty feet in a suit. This is a foreshadowing by a truly inspirational poet. I hope any listeners become inspired to quit their habit if they have one and realize that you CAN do this alone. As a long time fan, I am positive Mac would want this message spread. We need more love right now, more than ever.
He's in his birthday suit hehe mac was great with putting out subliminally artful details to everything he did . In the beginning they called him a 'frat' rapper which I'm sure bugged tf outta him cuz he never was stale never complacent and always experimented - his music just kept getting better n better no doubt imho I think mac would have been a music mogul if he had enough time he would 100% would be at top of the game and brought others up with him finding artists running a label and more . The potential was bigger than ppl would think str8 up universal . God speed 🙏
Wow you just blew my mind I always thought it was like Benders bedroom from Futurama (Not really but kinda) with a airplane window. Damn now I see it's a coffin and a fucken submarine wow.... Thank you God speed
I have I quit meth in June! I cried out to God in a praying position I'm also just like Mac a Orthodox Jew. I know depression very well. I have to take medicine for it. I am a way better person when I'm happy.
i miss you, Mac. I bumped this album heavy when it came out and when I got my second cancer diagnosis. My girl left me while I was fighting and this album helped me tremendously man. Seriously. Love!
*LYRICS* [Intro] Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah [Chorus] Well it ain't perfect but I don't mind Because it's workin' Who really has the time ? It ain't perfect but I don't mind 'cause on the surface I look so fine But really I'm buggin buggin makin' something out of nothing [Verse 1] Yeah, as hard as it gets, cool, calm and collected Holdin' my breath this, ain't what I expected Don't argue to death, pull my heart out of my chest The cards are all on the table I'm callin' it Don't say it I swallow it When livin' off the borrowed time Often I'm on the fence on a line Addin' up what's on my mind My feet on the clouds, head on the ground That we goin' down, bet you know me now [Bridge 1] I'm treading water I swear If I drown I don't care They callin' for me from the shore, I need more [Chorus] Well it ain't perfect but I don't mind Because it's workin' (is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?) Who really has the time (is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?) It ain't perfect but I don't mind 'cause on the surface I look so fine But really I'm buggin buggin makin' something out of nothing [Verse 2] It feel like the weekend on the Tuesday I can move days Its "I got something else to do" day Always do hate, If I do say The D'USSE with the homies like it's Kool Aid Me, I'm just tryna play it cool J (anyways) Yeah, mind over matter I'm Purer than alkaline Bitch stuck on album time I gotta get out to shine Fly on the wall, shit I was buggin' Miss me like you gettin' withdrawal I keep that coming, yeah [Bridge 2] I'm treading water I know If I start movin' I flow They nothing new it- Just play it cool baby, just play it cool You know, cool [Chorus] Well it ain't perfect but I don't mind Because it's workin' (is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?) Who really has the time, at all It ain't perfect but I don't mind 'cause on the surface I look so fine But really I'm buggin buggin makin' something out of nothing [Outro Verse] Yeah, tell me you love me spin me around Pretty please pick me up in the air and don't put me down You seen it all unfold, sat back and watched Knowin' time don't give a fuck about clocks until they stop Bare feet, runnin' late, her car is started Even though the only thing that she driving, a hard bargain More important is I'm kinda sorta out the door but She put me back together when I'm out of order Perfect
He says "I'm tredding water I know. If i stop moving I'll float. They're looking at me from the shore I need mooooreee" Hes referring to his drug problems. He knew he was risking it doing what he was doing and he knew if he stopped moving he'd float to heaven. R.I.P. mac truly the goat
This song is my favorite, I was bumping self care, then 2009 and jet fuel, and then hurt feelings and come back to earth, and now this song.. got the hard copy of the cd. This album is my every day shit..
Who is excited for January 17, 2020? Album "Swimming" was part I. Album "Circles" to be part II. Love You Mac Miller. If only you knew the impact you'd be having on the world today. If only we could see what impact you could still have on the world today....
@@JMDillehay yes, I've since heard Swimming in Circles in Oblivion. What I've learned from Mac with all his albums, mixtapes, alter egos (Larry Fisherman, Lovestein and Dollaz)... There have got to be a few pieces out there... If not, let's start a Mac Miller conspiracy that it is. He's a legend no matter what.
@@clarkkc11 i must admit I am a total newcomer to Mac Miller's music. I don't know why, but I never gave him the time of day until I heard Circles. I was blown away. Now I have his entire discography to explore.
My brother used to play this one Mac Miller song all the time that I didn't like. I would always ask him to change it. One day I heard Senior Skip Day which I like because it had an overall nice message and was funny. I looked up Mac Miller and found Good News which became my favorite song. Once I told my brother, he was so happy and played all his songs. I really love Mac Miller and I regret not giving him a second chance because of one song. I wish I knew about him and was a fan before he passed away. I can't relate to most of his songs YET, but his music is just so genuine and he was such a nice guy. Overall he is genuinely one of favorite music artists and will always be. R.I.P and thank you for all the amazing music, Mac.
Crazy how mac has left a small thread in every song, when he fell he pulled those threads, drawing us all together. What's truly amazing is how regardless of the distance, those threads managed to reach all of us. We will forever be tied to the most dope family, continuing to surround mac with love, respect, and admiration. In all of your worst moments, look at that thread and remember you are not alone. We got you.
FIlmore Theater 2013. Chance the rapper was opening up for you, he was playing his newly released ACID RAP songs. You came out playing a mellow song, but lyrically it was powerful. Ill never forget that moment when you felt my energy in crowd because i was the only one moving my fingers in the air, mimicking the flow cause god damn it was fire. But you started doing the same thing and for just 5 seconds we both were aligned with the music. It was small, but it was one of the most memorable moments ive ever had. You will be missed my guy
'Preciate all the fam that's here right now. Everyone that stayed up for this. Everyone that waited and waited to hear. Everybody who hyped up when they heard about Mac dropping another album and everybody bumping and vibin to it right now. Love you all
Can't stop listening to this song...I can hear it in his voice this album was gonna be emotional I be feeling like giving up at times but this album speaks to my soul..thank you Mac Miller!! Never met you before but ya music made me feel like you was my bestfriend..damn if only we could save you from ya pain..rest in peace Mac Miller
This album going platinum was so deserved people think he only got it because he passed but that’s not true this album is a masterpiece listening to blue slide park to this you can see how much he matured in both music and personality I’m glad I got to share the universe with you Mac I wished I could have been there with you to help you get through those demons too many fake people in his life RIP the greatest
Third favorite song on the album. Thank you for making me feel things I haven't felt in a long time, Mac. It feels good to truly enjoy music that stirs emotion deeply within me.
Gotta love Mac's music. This is your 3rd favorite? While this is my least favorite on the album. Just brings different emotions to different people with his beautiful music.
Its sad to think I that I only really starting diving into his music because of his death but I can say that this is some of the best rap I've heard in a long time. So groovy and vibey, yet so introspective with lyrics that mean so much and hold incredibly important messages. Rest in Peace Mac you will be remembered for generations to come.
I loved how engaging the last verse was. This track has style. Ways he framed the vibe with an insert “just play it cool” caught my eye and he kept it alive in my mind.
Man i miss you so damn much. Thank you for the gift of your music, you re so missed, your soul still resonates in my life and everytime i hear you y just float out of my body and feel you around me. You will forever be one of my biggest influences in life period. I love you mac, i just hope one day elsewhere in this universe i get the chance to meet you and tell you how much i appreciate you and your words.
YESSSS this reminds me of listening to mac back in high school except he matured a lot and u can tell he's using life experiences other than drugs and money *fresh air*
@@roberturt2631 he probably lived life more than most of us will. He was trying to get clean. He may have overdosed but he made more of an impact than most artists ever will.
@@roberturt2631 He was struggling to be sober. I think he really really wanted it too but since he had been in them since such a young age it made it too big a challenge
I love this song. He was a true artist. His pension for relatability really shows through in this album. Despite his own feelings, he made music for those of us that keep pushing through it without his story getting lost in translation. I love the jazzy melancholic sound
Mac Miller is one of the greatest MC’s to do it I’ve been listening to everything since high school. So devastated my favorite artist has passed. We love you Mac.
The bars he was hitting on this track were the start of absolute mastery... funky, flowy, heartful, soulful stuff. The production is insane as well, mac was peaking as an artist.
This is the best album by farrrrr at the moment! Mac Miller is such an underrated artist!! But at the same time I don’t want him to get too popular, but he deserves all of his songs in the top 10!!
One of the most underrated songs from Swimming, that last part always bring tears to my eyes.. the harmonics and lyrics is so fucking deep if u can relate.
I'll never forget when he said on IG live that this and Wings are his favorite songs so I instantly listened to them over and over. Wings ended up being my favorite.
There will never be an ARTIST like Mac ever. He was so much more than a rapper. He was a true artist and musician. I feel like we lost our last true artist. :( R.I.P. MAC you will never ever be forgotten. Never. Rest easy brother 🎤🔥🐐🇺🇸💔
I have had such a special attachment to this song since the first time I ever heard it. It is truly such a beautiful work of art. The entire album is a complete masterpiece but I feel like this song is just beautiful

My son emerged from the kitchen and saw me crying, and without saying a word he sat next to me and gave me a hug. Now I understand.

Bullshit lol
@@paperstreet7677 Shut up, it aint bullshit if he wrote a whole paragraph. Thank you Dennis Cruz, his lyrics are very deep
@@mamaanimations7196 ain't bullshit cus he wrote a paragraph 😂
I love people like you who are open minded this reaches the heart soul his music literally surges

Most definitely or is it that im just listening way too hard to this amazing ass album
Def sad .. wish he would of got help or family friends would of achieved helping him
I don’t see it as a sad album I see it as a revelation a new outlook and recognizing he was what he was and not just telling us what we wanted to hear he did this for him I bet every word felt like gold to him

*LYRICS*
[Intro]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Well it ain't perfect but I don't mind
Because it's workin'
Who really has the time ?
It ain't perfect but I don't mind 'cause on the surface I look so fine
But really I'm buggin buggin makin' something out of nothing
[Verse 1]
Yeah, as hard as it gets, cool, calm and collected
Holdin' my breath this, ain't what I expected
Don't argue to death, pull my heart out of my chest
The cards are all on the table I'm callin' it
Don't say it I swallow it
When livin' off the borrowed time
Often I'm on the fence on a line
Addin' up what's on my mind
My feet on the clouds, head on the ground
That we goin' down, bet you know me now
[Bridge 1]
I'm treading water I swear
If I drown I don't care
They callin' for me from the shore, I need more
[Chorus]
Well it ain't perfect but I don't mind
Because it's workin' (is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?)
Who really has the time (is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?)
It ain't perfect but I don't mind 'cause on the surface I look so fine
But really I'm buggin buggin makin' something out of nothing
[Verse 2]
It feel like the weekend on the Tuesday
I can move days
Its "I got something else to do" day
Always do hate, If I do say
The D'USSE with the homies like it's Kool Aid
Me, I'm just tryna play it cool J (anyways)
Yeah, mind over matter I'm
Purer than alkaline
Bitch stuck on album time
I gotta get out to shine
Fly on the wall, shit I was buggin'
Miss me like you gettin' withdrawal I keep that coming, yeah
[Bridge 2]
I'm treading water I know
If I start movin' I flow
They nothing new it-
Just play it cool baby, just play it cool
You know, cool
[Chorus]
Well it ain't perfect but I don't mind
Because it's workin' (is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?, is it?)
Who really has the time, at all
It ain't perfect but I don't mind 'cause on the surface I look so fine
But really I'm buggin buggin makin' something out of nothing
[Outro Verse]
Yeah, tell me you love me spin me around
Pretty please pick me up in the air and don't put me down
You seen it all unfold, sat back and watched
Knowin' time don't give a fuck about clocks until they stop
Bare feet, runnin' late, her car is started
Even though the only thing that she driving, a hard bargain
More important is I'm kinda sorta out the door but
She put me back together when I'm out of order
Perfect
Tem Production “on the surface I look so fine”
Thx 👌
“on the surface I *look so fine”
Tem Production who id the voice interrupting the song saying play it cool and cracking a beer open
He says "I'm tredding water I know. If i stop moving I'll float. They're looking at me from the shore I need mooooreee" Hes referring to his drug problems. He knew he was risking it doing what he was doing and he knew if he stopped moving he'd float to heaven.
R.I.P. mac truly the goat
This song and conversation pt 1 are highly underrated
Perfecto.....Mac Miller you were perfect in how you displayed your farewell craft 😭
Mac comment section always wholesome 😌
yea 💜💜
Love this entire album... Highly underated. Love every song on this album. Just drop it and let play through. My current favorite record.
I don’t want to believe this shit man, he didn’t deserve this. Not him, not anyone 💔
I'm still here mac.
Who’s else cried while shuffling through his album? Raise ya hands😭
This song is my favorite, I was bumping self care, then 2009 and jet fuel, and then hurt feelings and come back to earth, and now this song.. got the hard copy of the cd. This album is my every day shit..
Now I'm on ladders and so it goes
'Conversations part 1' goes hard to!!
Dunno is my favorite.
Who is excited for January 17, 2020?
Album "Swimming" was part I.
Album "Circles" to be part II.
Love You Mac Miller.
If only you knew the impact you'd be having on the world today.
If only we could see what impact you could still have on the world today....
Kenneth Clark circles is beautiful 😌
@@wayneellis29 that it is. Feels like an awakening
I believe Mac intended for these to be part of a trilogy. Swimming then Circles then a finale. Too bad we won't be getting what he wanted out of it.
@@JMDillehay yes, I've since heard Swimming in Circles in Oblivion. What I've learned from Mac with all his albums, mixtapes, alter egos (Larry Fisherman, Lovestein and Dollaz)... There have got to be a few pieces out there... If not, let's start a Mac Miller conspiracy that it is. He's a legend no matter what.
@@clarkkc11 i must admit I am a total newcomer to Mac Miller's music. I don't know why, but I never gave him the time of day until I heard Circles. I was blown away. Now I have his entire discography to explore.
I just started listening to Mac , and I noticed his music is the most dope.
My brother used to play this one Mac Miller song all the time that I didn't like. I would always ask him to change it. One day I heard Senior Skip Day which I like because it had an overall nice message and was funny. I looked up Mac Miller and found Good News which became my favorite song. Once I told my brother, he was so happy and played all his songs. I really love Mac Miller and I regret not giving him a second chance because of one song. I wish I knew about him and was a fan before he passed away. I can't relate to most of his songs YET, but his music is just so genuine and he was such a nice guy. Overall he is genuinely one of favorite music artists and will always be. R.I.P and thank you for all the amazing music, Mac.
u remember what song it was u hated?
larry been fishing since the womb. Nice production
Crazy how mac has left a small thread in every song, when he fell he pulled those threads, drawing us all together. What's truly amazing is how regardless of the distance, those threads managed to reach all of us. We will forever be tied to the most dope family, continuing to surround mac with love, respect, and admiration. In all of your worst moments, look at that thread and remember you are not alone. We got you.
Haven’t listened to anything else but this entire album on the daily R.I.P Mac
Rest In Peace Mac. I discovered your song back in 2019 when I was still 18 years old, time do sure flies.
I like Mac Miller, but this album? I love THIS Mac Miller. More of this please.
80%AshamedOfYou I am sad about that.
There's not gonna be anymore 😟😟
@@weirdsoxasmr6564 Chill, he realised an album before he passed, we still have Malcolm
Honestly this album kills me to listen to. He just sounds soo dead inside.
Until...Until there is no longer...
FIlmore Theater 2013. Chance the rapper was opening up for you, he was playing his newly released ACID RAP songs. You came out playing a mellow song, but lyrically it was powerful. Ill never forget that moment when you felt my energy in crowd because i was the only one moving my fingers in the air, mimicking the flow cause god damn it was fire. But you started doing the same thing and for just 5 seconds we both were aligned with the music. It was small, but it was one of the most memorable moments ive ever had. You will be missed my guy
If you're here after three years congratulations. You're a legend.
Never left
@@ihatelimabeans820 never will
I want to cry every time I hear a song from him it so Sad I love his his music R.I.P MAC MILLER😢🙎🙏

Straight up homie. Mac dropping a classic on us.
Facts brother! Mac holdin' it down solid, for sure.
That last verse always gets me.
2:56 I wish we could’ve got a full song of this part. Love you Mac💜✊🏽
Mac is the freaking GOAT.
Can't stop listening to this song...I can hear it in his voice this album was gonna be emotional I be feeling like giving up at times but this album speaks to my soul..thank you Mac Miller!! Never met you before but ya music made me feel like you was my bestfriend..damn if only we could save you from ya pain..rest in peace Mac Miller
This album saved my life...love ya Mac!
I love mac fan base, they don't call new fans "fake" massive respect
Gone but never forgotten. LONG LIVE THE GOAT
I'm listening to SWIMMING twice before I touch Astroworld
Still haven't touched astro
@@JKoooozie You didn't miss out on much
Same!
I still come back to this song every day. Never forgotten
This album going platinum was so deserved people think he only got it because he passed but that’s not true this album is a masterpiece listening to blue slide park to this you can see how much he matured in both music and personality I’m glad I got to share the universe with you Mac I wished I could have been there with you to help you get through those demons too many fake people in his life RIP the greatest
Thank you for another album MAC MILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Third favorite song on the album. Thank you for making me feel things I haven't felt in a long time, Mac. It feels good to truly enjoy music that stirs emotion deeply within me.
Gotta love Mac's music. This is your 3rd favorite? While this is my least favorite on the album. Just brings different emotions to different people with his beautiful music.
what is ur first and second
Small worlds/ Self Care/ 2009 /
honorable mention: Dunno & So it goes
Come back to Earth is also a perfect opener.
Its sad to think I that I only really starting diving into his music because of his death but I can say that this is some of the best rap I've heard in a long time. So groovy and vibey, yet so introspective with lyrics that mean so much and hold incredibly important messages. Rest in Peace Mac you will be remembered for generations to come.
"Dont argue the death, pull my heart out my chest" RIP Mac
I love the vibe to this song
Miss you Mac. I know you're shining your light and making more beautiful music in 5D.
This is My favorite thing in life right now..
I loved how engaging the last verse was. This track has style. Ways he framed the vibe with an insert “just play it cool” caught my eye and he kept it alive in my mind.
This song has so much more meaning after his death, amazing album. RIP Mac Miller 🙏 We miss you bro.
Man i miss you so damn much. Thank you for the gift of your music, you re so missed, your soul still resonates in my life and everytime i hear you y just float out of my body and feel you around me. You will forever be one of my biggest influences in life period. I love you mac, i just hope one day elsewhere in this universe i get the chance to meet you and tell you how much i appreciate you and your words.
You keep making me feel like the first one I heard you, you didn't leave a void, You left our soul full and we kept remembering you.
swimming is a trip.
YESSSS this reminds me of listening to mac back in high school except he matured a lot and u can tell he's using life experiences other than drugs and money *fresh air*
Did just passed... rip
Yeah rest in peace mac you had a huge impact on me growing up and I'll be listening to your music till I hit the dirt myself. Rest in Peace
❤❤❤ high school mac. I miss it all already.
@@roberturt2631 he probably lived life more than most of us will. He was trying to get clean. He may have overdosed but he made more of an impact than most artists ever will.
@@roberturt2631 He was struggling to be sober. I think he really really wanted it too but since he had been in them since such a young age it made it too big a challenge
You have been missed Mac. Truly one of the most underrated rapper.
I love this song. He was a true artist. His pension for relatability really shows through in this album. Despite his own feelings, he made music for those of us that keep pushing through it without his story getting lost in translation. I love the jazzy melancholic sound
That outro verse fucks me up every time i hear it
R.I.P MAC
This is a top 5 Mac Miller song, just my opinion of course.
Mac Miller is one of the greatest MC’s to do it I’ve been listening to everything since high school. So devastated my favorite artist has passed. We love you Mac.
The bars he was hitting on this track were the start of absolute mastery... funky, flowy, heartful, soulful stuff. The production is insane as well, mac was peaking as an artist.
This is the best album by farrrrr at the moment! Mac Miller is such an underrated artist!! But at the same time I don’t want him to get too popular, but he deserves all of his songs in the top 10!!
Perfecto is literally so underrated 💔
Está *Perfecto* 👌🔥
Karen Garcia tu tambièn 😉
Nunca es tarde para tomar
Si, lastima que se nos fue ☹️
@@danielchiyu7336 Si 💔
Come back to earth man, we miss you
This song is magic ❤
I usually hate mornings, but mac finally threw new album out... so... good morning folks :)
Damn I miss ya Mac you were one of the greatest 🐐
was in my top ten but now KING in my top 5
long live
One of the most underrated songs from Swimming, that last part always bring tears to my eyes.. the harmonics and lyrics is so fucking deep if u can relate.
Now I’m just sad
He had a voice of an angel 💔 I hope he finds light and goes into heaven 💙
The most kind artist fan base I've ever had the pleasure of being part of.
I'll never forget when he said on IG live that this and Wings are his favorite songs so I instantly listened to them over and over. Wings ended up being my favorite.
This Album is “Perfecto” 🔥🔥🔥
Finally got around to listening to this entire album, this is probably my favorite song after “Self Care”, truly beautiful album
There will never be an ARTIST like Mac ever. He was so much more than a rapper. He was a true artist and musician. I feel like we lost our last true artist. :( R.I.P. MAC you will never ever be forgotten. Never. Rest easy brother 🎤🔥🐐🇺🇸💔
I have had such a special attachment to this song since the first time I ever heard it. It is truly such a beautiful work of art. The entire album is a complete masterpiece but I feel like this song is just beautiful
This is seriously my favorite of favorites 💔
