      Vinny Sabatino he could have outlined a plan to his family in his will about it. So if it’s in his will, then of course his family will do what he’s asked them to. He loved music, he was talented and blessed at what he could do musically. If you loved music that much and passed away, of course you’d have a plan to release what you’ve made.

Im this world of bad n shitty music in every genre, He was pulling from every genre and makin soul music. He blurred the lines between hiphop and all forms of music in the most beautiful way.

Tough to listen to at first, but I can't help but smile listening to Mac's voice one more time. This is a timeless album that I will listen to for the rest of the life.

      I think it's because Jon is also very sensitive and saw great potential and Mac wanted to explore criativity deeply to find his own sound like what he did on each album. If you see the artists who Jon produce the albuns you can see that they show great vulnerability and sensitivity. That's why Mac could feel free and had space to explore something different with John.

      It honestly took me a solid year, if not a year and a half, before I could listen to his stuff and not have some sort of emotional reaction. Follower since the KIDS days, I've lived my entire adult life to the beat of Mac's drum. I graduated in 2013, got my associates degree in 2016, and I'm graduating with my bachelors degree in May '20. Every step of the way I have been listening to Mac. Through both the highs and the lows.. I always looked to his lyrics for guidance.
      KIDS and Best Day Ever always remind me of being in high school getting stoned with my buddies and wilding out at parties. I have vivid mental imagery of cigarettes, weed and booze every time one of those tracks come on.
      Watching Movies with The Sound Off reminds me of that "coming of age" feeling I felt in 2013. I had just graduated high school, started my first semester of college, finally turned 18 and could buy my own cigarettes after years of begging to pay people to get them for me (lol). I went to the Dallas show for the Space Migration Tour in June of that year after just graduating high school, and the energy in that room was unlike I could have ever imagined.
      Faces is a deeply intimate album in my life, as I fell deeper and deeper into a depressive state and felt lost in my life at community college at the time it came out. I remember how weird it felt to have that crazy mixtape release on Mother's Day 2014. I was one of the first people to explain the lyrics on Genius when that mixtape came out. I fucking loved it. I felt like it was my existence in the form of art/music. From the wacky beats and brutally honest depression, I took solace in the understanding that someone else felt the way I did.
      The last concert I ever went to was the GO:OD AM tour in 2015. We smoked a fat 3.5g blunt on the way there and it was a blast, wel...while we were there. I went with some old high school friends at the time and we ended up leaving early before the show was over because my dbag "friend" girlfriend wanted to go home. It's one of the biggest regrets I have related to Mac, honestly. We left during one of my favorite songs on that album, ROS, and that memory haunts me to this day.
      When the Divine Feminine released, I honestly dismissed it. I couldn't relate to it. I'd been single my entire adult life and didn't understand the romanticism present in the album. I wasn't capable of comprehending the beauty of that piece until after Mac's death. After he passed in 2018 I gave it a listen again and ended up listening to it through almost the entirety of 2019. It felt like "new" Mac to me because I didn't give it the time of day in the past. Now that I've been with my girl for almost 2 years now, I understand the beauty of it. I feel like you can't understand the Divine Feminine until you understand love and can really appreciate what all it entails.
      Swimming released on August 3rd, 2018. The day before my 23rd birthday. The singles Small Worlds, Programs, and Buttons had released over the summer and I was thrilled to get some new Mac. I was urgently hoping that he'd get his groove back in music after all his attention in the media. The day the album came out, I was picking up my girlfriend when the song Perfecto was playing and I remember her telling me "You're perfect." and how my heart just melted. Like Mac said in Dunno, I really felt that "I think we just might be alright, thank god." It was at this point in my life that I'd been sober off alcohol and weed for around 4 months. I had revitalized my focus on my education after convincing myself that I was going to drop out early in the year. I am almost 2 years completely sober off alcohol. I have smoked weed once since April of 2018.
      When Circles came out, I felt like it was a beautiful way to wrap things up. The album work was executed tastefully and respectfully. From the very beginning to end, Circles gives me a wonderfully warm feeling in my chest. Like it awakens a peace and closure I have been seeking from within since Mac left us. As a soon to be University graduate, it feels like Mac is sending me off into the future just as he did when I was a dumb 18 year-old high school graduate.
      Whatever comes next, I just know that his music will be a part of it. For the memories, for the peace, for the sadness, all of it. Mac has made us something for everything. A legend who'll never die.

    Remembering how when i first started listening to Mac in '08 it was all about high school days and smokin trees with your bros. But over the years Macs music would inspire me and bring me to tears about how he was torn down and forgotten, but still found a way to bring beauty and happiness through his music. Truly a pure soul. R.I.P

    A week ago good news was released and somehow it related to my life in such a crazy manner.
    Three days ago the album was released and the music has truly uplifted me in the most beautiful way ever.
    Mac Miller is inspiring and his music will live on forever.
    Thank you malcom for all your hard work.

    I was super curious to see who Jon Brion was. And now that I’ve seen him and heard him talk about Mac with such respect, it’s like Mac knew the rest of the project would be in Jons’s hands. Almost as if Mac was handing him that last instrument.
    Mac Miller has had such a great impact on my life, it almost feels like he’s still here going through so many relatable things that are going on in my life. It’s as if we grew up together.
    I had really forgotten how to cry until I listened to “That’s On Me” but they were tears of realization and reassurance that everything is not always perfect or turns out to be what we imagine.
    And that’s alright.
    He knew how to help embrace and cope with the good, bad, and even the unknown in life through his music.
    A true artist.
    Too many great things to be said about such a genuine Legend but one thing is for certain..you will be dearly missed Malcom!!
