Your thoughts after hearing the song, is exactly why he was so slept on as an artist prior to his untimely death. They would just see his music on the surface level and mentally dismiss it until they fully listen and realize how deep his work was
You've definitely got your finger on the pulse for a lot of this. Very much about his struggles with addiction and how badly he wanted out of it, but just kept getting pulled back in. The whole thing with the match/cigarette in the coffin... that's very much the point. Lighting a match would be a problem because it uses up your limited air supply. And when he finds himself buried and facing an early death, on account of his vices and addictions, his first instinct is to jump right back into the comfort of those vices, rather than try to fight his way back out. It's a further display of that self-destruction.
Mac Miller told everyone exactly how he was going to go out on every fucking album over and over and over again man. He just couldn’t save himself even though he knew what was wrong. It haunts me. He tells us he’s going to die to his addiction on every song and yet we were shocked and hurt when he was right.
Also, he first relies on the cigarette to help him go through it instead of just pulling out the knife to begin with and break his way out. He fell back on his crutch which to him was his addiction issues.
Damn that’s a great way of putting the cigarette/coffin reference together. I tried commenting about it but ended up confusing myself and just deleted the whole thing😅
@@byHexted I got into Mac at the time of his KIDS stuff, but he really came into his own in his last few projects, and they're my favorites of his. Sad we lost him so soon
mac miller is one of those artist that the more u dig in his music the more u became a fan. one of the best lyricsest in our generation. the fact that he talked about his addiction in such an open way and end up dying from it make the story even more tragic. i recommand hearing his progect one by one so u can learn more about his personality. he will always will be one of my favorite artist and his fan base will never forget him cause of who he was and what he did with and for the music. take care
You have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg with Mac Miller. And it is unfortunate only now after death are music professors and people around RUclips are finally finding him, but I am glad he is finally getting his due. And as a lifelong fan of hip hop. I was honestly surprised to hear that you hadn't really listened to or heard much from him. Because he realistically was one of the most important artists at least of my generation. And I say "artist" because you will come to find out how unbelievably talented this individual was with each project you decide to journey through. And I say journey because his discography is a wild journey. He touched every genre in his short life and really pushed the boundaries of what hip hop can sound like. He was genre bending, he was complicated, sophisticated and largely controlled his own sound due to his producing skills. From his frat-boy party rap days in "Best Day Ever", to his self produced Jazz album in "You", to his incredible and masterful album detailing his experiments with drugs and the effects of it on his life, music and relationships in "Faces", all the way to "Swimming" where he literally struggles to stay afloat saying that he's basically barely keeping his head above water but he is trying even though he is failing. Then to "Circles" where he basically is speaking to you from the grave in an almost cathartic hug prophetically detailing his demise while letting you know it will be okay. And unfortunately showing you how far he's grown artistically and musically only making it that much more sad because of how young he is and the inescapable feeling of never knowing how good he could have been, even though many of us know he was already legendary. But I will say that you picked up on a lot of the underlying themes with this song without knowing much about him. If you didn't know, he died of an accidental overdose in which he was given a substance laced with fentanyl. And he had been struggling with drugs for a long, long time. He's very open about it, his catalog will utterly surprise you with his unfortunately prophetic detailing of his ultimate demise, but with each passing album you can see the growth in this kid which was ultimately what made him so special. As for the song, for the most part self-care is a tale of two sides of him. The first part is basically him knowing he's digging himself an early grave with his drug use, the task it will be to climb this wall, because the availability of the drugs and understanding the situation, while detailing moments of his life where he crashed his car, got a DUI after his relationship with Ariana, and how he needed and wanted drugs to cope. Which was his way of self care dealing with all of the issues that surrounded him. While the second part was the other side of the coin and his small moment of hopefullness and triumph in which he actually takes care of himself. And In his moments of clear headedness and possible sobriety he understands he didn't know what he was missing in life and is thinking clearer, detailing that he misses her (Ariana) but then unfortunately alluding to the fact he is still has that feeling and that he always has drugs to make him feel better and wants that feeling which is oblivion. My suggestion, is that you dive into "Faces" a mixtape, recently re-released as an Album. It is a masterpiece that can only be described as a case study on addiction incapsulated in an experimental hip hop album that touches every corner of hip hop in one album. It is not as depressing as "swimming" and "circles", and in fact is even funny, witty, and insightful at times and will really help you dive into the world of Mac Miller.
Faces the album is just an open book from mac about his addictions pretty much. If you wunna hear a lil more about what he went through. That and his newer albums were my favorites from him. *Warning tho* Very tough listen because of how open he is. (Literally opens up the album by saying "I should have died already")
Mac miller was easily one of the best lyricists of this generation, he's always been such a huge influence for me and it still crushes my soul that he's gone. RIP mac miller. You should check out songs from his album "watching movies with the sound off" every single song on it is just pure beauty in the form of music "I am who am (killing time)" is my favourite from that album.
@@eugenecaudill5361 I wouldn't say he's part of this generation of artists though. He's a damn amazing artist but I just feel like he isn't part of this generation of artists he was in the previous generation of artists.
Absolutely check out "Yeah". It was released this past year and it hurts.. but man is it amazing. The voice effects make it feel like it he's genuinely speaking from the other side.
Mac is definitely my favorite artist and can provide music for you no matter what mood you’re in. If you want rap/lyricism I’d recommend; Here we go, Diablo, Thoughts from the balcony, or 100 Grandkids For chill/vibe songs; Small Worlds, Hand me downs, objects in the mirror
This dude was the epitome of what hip-hop needed at that time. It was a rude awakening to the struggles of mental health and drug abuse. Alot of the community pushed it under the rug cause they didn't wanna face the problem but the truth is "Swimming" then "Circles" as one whole project in its totality is arguably the greatest piece of hip-hop history that will ever exist. It's insightful. It's soulful. You never once question anything he's saying on any track he's just so devoted and passionate. The emotional relatability to his struggle is insanely detailed. It's just immaculate. He was the GOAT.
The saddest part of it all was in his last two albums you can hear him asking for help. We lost him way to soon. He was getting better as a rapper with every track he made. Definitely dive into his other tracks.
It’s crazy how well you are able to understand and intuit from the video. You’re spot on on every guess. Really shows you how carefully Mac crafted this video and song.
I absolutely loved your analysis of this song, with the little knowledge of mac miller before hand. You pretty much hit the nail on the head, his music speaks for itself and is a timeline of what he was feeling in his life. Your choice of words and how u formulate ur thoughts is something to notice, well done, RIP mac, hes my favorite artist. Beautiful work again! Keep it up, i sense that you could/ have been an amazing teacher of sorts? Phenomonal job on this reaction truly.
Mac Miller - “Congratulations” would be the PERFRCT song for you to react too! Because it’s nothing like you would ever to expect it to be…it’s absolutely beautiful. I know rap songs aren’t supposed to be beautiful right? But when you hear this song it will actually melt your heart..,yes you..a mans, heart. Even if you don’t react just listen to it!! It’s literally the perfect way to introduce you to Mac Miller songs! And it actually fits your aesthetic perfectly.
What a great recommendation. Getting away from the usual request to explore Mac’s dark side and see the flip side of his musical and personal greatness
I'd recommend more Mac for sure. I think he went from a decent rapper to a person making beautiful art. He really progressed as an artist and made something unique, something his own. I wouldn't go as far as to say he's one of the best lyricists, his lyrics are a bit on the nose for me, but his music and art he created is one of a kind and filled with soul.
Yea, when he started going away from 'regular rap' (if there is anything like that anymore) it made me super happy because I know artists always create some great stuff leaving mainstream of their genre/style. His journey/evolution as an all-round artist only started and it will forever sadden me that we won't witness where it would have taken him.
Mac was always a top tier mc. He just carefully worked on his craft and got better and better as an overall artist as he grew. His skills as a rapper even blossomed as well along with his sound. But Mac was always a beast
@@korassssssss Mac’s music was never just ‘regular rap.’ His style was always something unique from the very beginning. It’s just his growth as an Mc developed his current sound to what he became
His album Swimming is a great introduction to Mac's discography in my opinion. He released it a few months before he passed and it really shows the potential of Mac's musical ability.
Really enjoyed your take on this. It's my favorite song from Swimming. I miss Mac all the time, randomly met him one day and almost had a heart attack. He was so kind and warm & was super hype that me, a random stranger, was about to graduate. He'd be so excited about our Steelers squeezing into the playoffs this year lol. Looking forward to more of your content. ❤
Watching you react this actually brought me to tears. Mac Miller is one of the most influential musicians in my life, and it still hurts me so much that he is gone. Watching you nail his struggle, his battle with trying to get himself sober, and his self awareness of his self destruction, genuinely makes me cry as I write this. Thank you for making this.
His album Circles that came out after his death is one of my favorite records (and my number one album for 2020) and I'm not even a fan of rap or much of his previous work. I dismissed him his entire career and I regret it. Circles is amazing and he truly mastered his craft.
Mac Miller was an amazing performer and just as an amazing lyricist. Dude was going through some hard times and you see that in his last couple albums. Hope to see you check out more of him. No rapper has hit me in the feels like Mac. I’m not well versed in rap but Mac Miller will forever be the GOAT to me. Definitely a talent taken way too soon
I think this song is about Mac accepting his addiction and accepting death. That's why he writes "memento mori" inside the casket. He dies when he leaves the casket and goes to "oblivion"
Mac Miller is one of the top rappers of all time for me not just for growing up with his music but his love for music, he made almost every single beat he’s ever rapped on or sung on, he loved everyone and never had beef with a single person, and over time we got to see his skill grow as he became more humble. He rapped since he was a child and his growth is something that would very hard to compare to in most cases. You would love his music he’s a very loving guy and puts his heart and mind out for the world to see. R.I.P Mac Miller
You’re a wise man, I appreciate you breaking down your thoughts. My father died of organ failure from alcohol and I followed his footsteps until I had seizures. Then I got clean. Now I’m 25 with a good job. Just break your chains and you’ll feel nirvana
You would even like Mac old stuff like nikes on my feet. But later in his career his music becomes much more profound and timeless. Swimming is the album this song was off of. And is a masterpiece IMO
Glad you admitted it took a minute to buy in, and that in the end you appreciated his art. Mac makes beautiful music for tortured souls/open ears. Great breakdown of the video.
I have been absolutely dying to see you reacting to some of Mac's music. Faces and Watching Movies With the Sound Off are probably my favorite albums. patreon, please get avian in here!! I had to come and edit my comment after I finished the video. Such an incredible interpretation of this song and of Mac. I hope to see more of literally anything of his.
You should listen to his song “good news” from his posthumous album. When that song came out I broke down my first time hearing it and seeing the visual they made for it. So sad RIP Mac
Listened to this album on repeat so much when it was released, Over the years his music was always evolving, he wasn't afraid to switch it up and take some risks. His future was so damn bright, it saddened me so much when he passed. Celebrity deaths don't tend to bother me much but this one hit hard. I hope you check out more of his catalogue.
My interpretation that just popped up in my head, is that the first part of the song is the addiction, the struggle to be sober, the struggle to be high again, while the 2nd part is the high itself, the moment when something claps you after you take it in, the feeling of "freedom" that some drugs can give you
I don't want to ramble off a novel, but I just had to say that I more than appreciate your approach to reaction videos. You willfully try to dig deep and bring a perspective that is refreshing and missing on this platform. I appreciate anyone who makes me rethink music I have personally adored and thought about countless times. This is my first time seeing a video of yours and I am a fan. Can't wait to see more. Have a wonderful and safe weekend!

You should get into his projects bro. He’s my favorite rapper
He’s amazing, I’ve been followed everything he dropped for a decade, he’s the soundtrack of my youth.
Could not stand him at first but one day something poped and now he is my most played artist in 2021 lol
Not one of my favorites but he’s still great, I still don’t really stand by a lot of the stuff on KIDS
Mac was a true Artist coming into his own.
@@byHexted I got into Mac at the time of his KIDS stuff, but he really came into his own in his last few projects, and they're my favorites of his. Sad we lost him so soon

take care
JID did some of the adlibs in the background. Jcole produced hurt feelings and Mac Miller did some productions on JID’s dicarpio album
Perfect Circle/Godspeed, whole Swimming and Circles project, definately Faces - best work of his
Pls do more of him, he’s a legend, early stuff is more rap rap, later is more of this style

So true, Mac was bringing rap into a new direction imo still can’t believe he’s gone tbh
RIP Malcolm James McCormick-Mac Miller ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I won’t say he isn’t good, but Aesop Rock is the lyrical goat.
@@eugenecaudill5361 I wouldn't say he's part of this generation of artists though. He's a damn amazing artist but I just feel like he isn't part of this generation of artists he was in the previous generation of artists.
@@atomic_hok, he’s still producing music, though. Have you heard Garbology?
@@eugenecaudill5361 there's plenty of artists from the previous generation making music still and no I haven't I'll have to check it out
Absolutely check out "Yeah".
It was released this past year and it hurts.. but man is it amazing. The voice effects make it feel like it he's genuinely speaking from the other side.
Such a legend gone to soon!
I’d recommend giving blue worlds a listen it’s truly a great example on how versatile he was as a musician
YES that is most definitely J.I.D on the adlibs I'm so glad you recognized it
Mac is a legend.
R.I.P Mac Miller.
If you were practicing self care,
You'd still be with us...
Mac is definitely my favorite artist and can provide music for you no matter what mood you’re in.
If you want rap/lyricism I’d recommend;
Here we go, Diablo, Thoughts from the balcony, or 100 Grandkids
For chill/vibe songs;
Small Worlds, Hand me downs, objects in the mirror
Rap videos like this one are just poetry in motion
I want MORE MAC MILLER, I WANT MORE OF THIS SPECIFIC CONTENT…PLEASE

I can’t believe you noticed JID on ur first listen!! It took me months and months…
Also Mac miller is amazing please react to more!
Glad you reacted to this one. Mac Miller is amazing and this song is on another level.
The saddest part of it all was in his last two albums you can hear him asking for help. We lost him way to soon. He was getting better as a rapper with every track he made. Definitely dive into his other tracks.
R.I.P Mac Miller he's was such an amazing artist I suggest. The Star Room by Mac Miller to dig a bit deeper into his mind
Mac was an amazing soul, please react to more of his music
Mac was a talented musician. Everyone has said so much already that I would agree with. I highly recommend indulging in his art.
A geniune artist and a master of Hip Hop. Most Dope
It’s crazy how well you are able to understand and intuit from the video. You’re spot on on every guess. Really shows you how carefully Mac crafted this video and song.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO MAC!!!! PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ GIVE US MORE OF MAC MILLER #GOAT
"Got all the time in the world so for now I'm just chillin" is the saddest line ever now 💔
RIP Mac
Mac is fabulous! Fell in love w/ his vibe.
You really get this. As a lifelong Mac Miller fan. Truly awesome to see someone who doesnt know much about him to just see the vision. Great video
Im excited to see your journey into Mac's discography
Mac Miller tiny desk concert. I've watched it more than a few times. And I'm and old timer. 💛✌🏻
Yes!! I’ve easily watched it 100, myself , since his passing
Get to know mac!!! He lives on through his music! Almost stopped watching a minute in .. mac passed away years ago

The whole concept of swimming circles is beautiful

“Aquarium” and “star room” are a couple of my favorites from Mac Miller. Easily my favorite rapper
Granny gumjobs lol 😆
I think this song is about Mac accepting his addiction and accepting death. That's why he writes "memento mori" inside the casket. He dies when he leaves the casket and goes to "oblivion"
Mac Miller is one of the top rappers of all time for me not just for growing up with his music but his love for music, he made almost every single beat he’s ever rapped on or sung on, he loved everyone and never had beef with a single person, and over time we got to see his skill grow as he became more humble.

I’m so grateful that you are finally doing some Mac!!!! I love your channel!!
I can tell you're a very smart person. You hit the nail on the head with everything.. I would love to see more Mac content. please and thank you.
My favorite of his is "Woods". Very chill song.
he did jazz music under an alias name. he was crazy talented!!!!!
You’re a wise man, I appreciate you breaking down your thoughts. My father died of organ failure from alcohol and I followed his footsteps until I had seizures. Then I got clean. Now I’m 25 with a good job. Just break your chains and you’ll feel nirvana
Good news and this are my favorite off this album.
You would even like Mac old stuff like nikes on my feet. But later in his career his music becomes much more profound and timeless. Swimming is the album this song was off of. And is a masterpiece IMO
I recommend Diablo by Mac Miller, he has so many bangers though I hope people tell you to check out more 👌
Glad you admitted it took a minute to buy in, and that in the end you appreciated his art. Mac makes beautiful music for tortured souls/open ears. Great breakdown of the video.
This album, Swimming, is a masterpiece. Would love to see you listen to some more off of it. Enjoy!
Top notch dissection of the song. He's one of my favorite rapper. You must listen to his mixtape Faces!
Haven’t been here in awhile. Got notification for a Mac miller vid had to join!
Perfect circle/god speed goes so far into his addiction problems. Should definitely check that song out!
Mac is amazing. He might not have had a flawless voice, but the man was a true musician. Any instrument he touched he was great with it.
I have been absolutely dying to see you reacting to some of Mac's music. Faces and Watching Movies With the Sound Off are probably my favorite albums. patreon, please get avian in here!!

mac miller - smile back Is still one of my favorite go to songs to listen to in the car
More Mac, please! Would love to hear your insights when it comes to Mac's discography.
RIP Mac, another gone too soon
Oblivion is what we're in. An energy field dancing through itself eternally. We are the universe
mac is one of the all-time greats, in any genre.
Yes!!! More Mac more Mac more Mac more Mac
I feel like this song would’ve hit him more if he did any research before and understood that he passed away after this got released. Mac is a legend!
RIP to a legend gone too soon. The Mac
You should listen to his song “good news” from his posthumous album. When that song came out I broke down my first time hearing it and seeing the visual they made for it. So sad RIP Mac
Now we wait for Mac to get the Em treatment on the channel, what a glorious day that will be!
Def check out some more from his catalog
If you wanna hear bar heavy Mac you gotta check out break the law. Absolutely kills it
I think you’ll love his live tiny desk set amazing
This is probably my favorite Mac song.
I HIGHLY recommend Good News
RIP Mac Miller 👍🏾
You should most definitely check out Ave Maria. Great song.
I love that you are intelligent enough to pick up on stuff that takes me many many listens to pick up on
Frick Park Market and Loud are amazing from Mac. You should check those out. Even just to hear for yourself
You should do the whole Mac Miller catalog
R.I.P Mac my favorite artist of all time.
Listened to this album on repeat so much when it was released, Over the years his music was always evolving, he wasn't afraid to switch it up and take some risks. His future was so damn bright, it saddened me so much when he passed. Celebrity deaths don't tend to bother me much but this one hit hard. I hope you check out more of his catalogue.
Fuck yeahhh! I would love some more Mac
More Mac!!!
My favorite rapper. RIP mac.
Oh shit, hes getting into my favorite artist of all time?
Your mind is wondrous, I enjoy your reactions, please introduce yourself further to the humanity of Mac Miller. Props MrLboyd Reacts.
I miss Mac so much man. RIP
hes super underrated as an artist. because hes more than a rapper
Please get into more Mac, one of the most underrated artists
My interpretation that just popped up in my head, is that the first part of the song is the addiction, the struggle to be sober, the struggle to be high again, while the 2nd part is the high itself, the moment when something claps you after you take it in, the feeling of "freedom" that some drugs can give you
Can't go wrong with Mac Miller reactions
Best artist from my hometown, might have to go to blue slide park tomorrow.
I don't want to ramble off a novel, but I just had to say that I more than appreciate your approach to reaction videos. You willfully try to dig deep and bring a perspective that is refreshing and missing on this platform. I appreciate anyone who makes me rethink music I have personally adored and thought about countless times. This is my first time seeing a video of yours and I am a fan. Can't wait to see more. Have a wonderful and safe weekend!
Check out Mac's tiny desk concert.
