Mac Miller

No rankings, all love.

No journalist — no one, really — on Earth is as thorough as Nardwuar The Human Serviette.

The artist’s identity in music cannot be defined until they have an audience to define themselves against. It is cruel, but it is the truth.

When done right, the posthumous album can serve to give fans necessary closure.

“I am still learning about Mac, learning about what his last moments were. I guess that is why I am crying.”

Mac Miller’s sixth studio album, ‘Circles,’ is the moment he comes into himself as a man, as Malcolm.

“I intended for this piece to be a lyrical break down of a superb song by my favorite artist...”

This wasn’t easy.

From Tyler, The Creator to Mac Miller, these are our favorite songs of 2019.

“TourLife is about making life easier for an artist’s manager, and also saving artists money.”

“Just like a circle, I go back to where I'm from.”

We'll miss you, Mac.

“He just loved [hip-hop] and wanted to uplift other people in it as much as he wanted to be great himself.”

“He taught me that it’s okay not to be good all the time. It’s much more important to be real with yourself.”

In every corner of Mac’s music — of this album — all I can find is the thrill of the coming day.

‘The Divine Feminine’ is more than a mere album about love.

“What am I doing here?”

While Mac journeyed through hell, he was always on his way to heaven.

These are the songs you hear in your head before bed, when you’re idly working, or when you start to get anxious.

Sometimes, we’re just fucked.

We start with what terrifies us, but we process the fear and move with it to move away from it.

“It’s really rare to find someone that is smiling all the time and can have compassion for any situation.”

What albums stood the test of time?

“When I think back to high school, this is the first thing that comes to mind.”
