      Nowadays that’s how all producers and rappers start. Influenced by something like this and start on a cracked version of Fl Studio. It’s not like you have to have a big studio to make music nowadays. Some of the biggest songs of the past decade were made by teenagers in their bedroom

Benny Blanco (who used to be a record producer) decided that he didn't wanted to be in the back anymore and now he's huge. But usually most edm producers will want their names on the title. And from 2010-now producers are taking over and aren't in the back. They put their names without crediting the singer which is amazing. Faded, Wake Me Up, Alone, Hey Brother, More Than You Know, and many many manyyyyy more songs.

    When this album came out i was on probation and couldnt smoke. I had two or three weeks left to get off probation after this came out, so naturally I waited. Went to the youtube playlist and hit the SHIT out of my new bong i had put aside. Slowly got higher and higher like it was for the first time again, and i was diggin the record hard. THEN THIS SONG CAME ON, AND I WAS DANCIN. I WAS WALKING AROUND MY LIVING ROOM TRYNA LEARN THE HOOK AS HE SANG IT YAKNOW TRYNA SING ALONG WITH THIS TURNED UP ALL THE WAY I WAS SO HAPPY I WANTED TO CRY. Once he said “here to make it all better with a little music for youu” i started to tear up hard and then he said “devil on my doorstep bein so shady mmm dont trip, WE DONT GOTTA LET HIM IN” ive always related so hard to Macs music throughout his entire career as im sure many of you have too. Fuck the negatives. Give a hard thumbs up and smile back!!!! Miss you Mac, always will. Thank you for everything
