    Aug. 6, 2018 | Bobby Carter -- There was a shift in Mac Miller's boisterous demeanor as he started the third of his three-song Tiny Desk set. It's the first time he's performed tracks from his new album, Swimming, in front of an audience. On "2009," he rubbed his chin with clinched eyes, looking like a young man who's beginning to crack the code. Backed by a piano loop and a string quartet, he reflected on his journey's peaks and valleys thus far.
    I ain't asking why no more
    I know I'll take it if it's mine
    I don't stay inside the lines
    It ain't 2009 no more
    Yeah, I know what's behind that door
    With nearly a decade under his belt at 26 years old, these words ring like an artist twice his age.
    We were introduced to Mac Miller via 2011's XXL Freshman Class, which featured a special crop of MCs such as Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill and YG, all of whom are now considered in the upper echelon of hip-hop. After his big splash, he's been able to find a groove and consistently release quality rap records, ultimately keeping his name in the conversation with the other young greats. His 2011 album, Blue Slide Park, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the first independently distributed debut album to do so since 1995's Dogg Food by Tha Dogg Pound. These consecutive triumphs amassed plenty of fame, fortune and insurmountable obstacles, causing a stumble here and there. Throughout the years, however, Mac has brushed himself off and put it in the music.
    For this performance, Mac Miller invited frequent collaborator Thundercat, who graced the Tiny Desk last year and will join Mac on tour this fall. Thundercat put on a dazzling shaker routine and played the deep centerpiece bass line on "What's The Use?" These Swimming iterations don't veer far away from the recorded versions, but here, his lyrics seem easier to interpret under live instrumentation.

It was a shock to me, i really became a fan. It's a very weird feeling, missing a guy I didn't even follow his trajectory

    After a million listens, I just have to appreciate that I am a 55 year old man who grew up with rap music in every form and followed it throughout the years, but this is one of the few rap performances that actually work in the Tiny Desk format. Common did pretty well too, but rap just doesn't translate in this format as easily unless you are a master at both rap and musical performances. Mac was clearly both.

    A lot of the comments here give a sense of sadness and nostalgia, and rightly so but as soon as I start listening to the first minute I just feel so happy and upbeat. If anything this mini concert immortalised him.

      For real. He was all set up to go down that mainstream path but chose to go down the artistic path instead. Huge props to him for being himself unlike these pathetic mainstream rappers today.

      This is actually one of the best live performances of music ever its just so smooth the whole time ... Pretty much perfect ... Notnjust sayin that cuz hees gone but like u said his growth as an artist is amazing .. Ive never been a huge fan but ive always listened to him since about 2012 and hes evolved every album but this performance is on the level of the roots

      I think even when he was making fun catchy sing along songs there was always something deeper in each of the tracks.

    I'm old and missed the entire Mac Miller era. Then somewhere they started popping up in my feed. I am at a loss for words at how good this is. I hear 2009 and cant hold back the tears. Nothing sadder than a lost genius.

      @Karson Hill dude same I only started listening to mac a few days after he passed away and he’s been my favorite artist since then. I can always find myself relating to things he says and I see him as my father figure tbh since I grew up without a dad

      yep, I remember being in High School and my cousin started listening to him before he hit the charts. Now that I reflect upon it, 2009 seems so far and so different. Despite the recession and being poor af, we still lived life.

    I swiped right on my man on tinder because his bio was "the world is so small till it ain't". We have been together 3 years to the day and play this song on our anniversary. Mac, we will also play this song at our wedding. Thank you for bringing us together and for everything you gave the world. RIP sweet boy.
