Fuckin miss you Mac.
ZOSH ! 😢
Mac transcended all boundaries, he was a great man. I learned a lot form his music and he was never a hater. Such a genuine, natural master of his craft.
Yooo this my fav RUclipsr
Miss him bad. He was a legend.
we absolutely miss Mac so much.
there was supposed to be a third sequence album that tied the three together that never had the chance to be made it would’ve been called “til infinity” to make all three albums make out “swimming in circles til infinity” which is the reoccurring theme in swimming and circles and would’ve been in the third. mac had a musical genius it’s truly tragic his life was cut so short he had a lot more coming
that’s awesome, where you hear that from anyway? wanna check that out
But what if it did came to light, music was his life... death is Infinite.
-long live MAC 👼
Exactly! Most people don't know he had a third album tying swimming and circles together, and it was going to be a more hip-hop/rap style album unlike swimming and circles which were laid back and chill. I wish he could have finished it.
@@John_Peterson yet here you are watching videos about him
@@John_Peterson his music inspires more people to do drugs than other rappers repeating “molly Percocet” over and over again? Mac tells the truth about addiction, the dark truth that addiction is a horrible disease and he has never encouraged people to take drugs… if anything he steered them away from it or helped people who are addicts feel like they can relate with someone
Nobody in my life will ever understand how important Mac’s music is to me. In a way I think that makes it even more personal and special.
i understand
Same lol
I understand. He got me through a lot in life...
I understand you my guy. Stay up
I understand man. I understand better than anyone else.
the way circles ends incompletely on an unstable chord, then intentionally starts again on a stable chord to complete a literal circle is fucking insane. mac and his producer are legit musical masterminds and it's definitely fair to say we'll never get someone like him again.
R.I.P to the goat.
IGOR did it first
RIP mac miller
It's almost like he's giving us a wink saying - don't forget me, keep playing, keep swimming
“Keep playing, keep swimming”, that was beautiful
i was fine throughout the whole video, but this comment made me tear up. thank you
Or maybe he knew he was gonna be Ariana sacrifice 😶
the power of everyone loving him
I got chills when I read keep playing,, keep swimming
"We may never know if this was intentional." Come on bud, we've all watched docs and segments where Mac is endlessly obsessing over keys in a studio, trying to find that perfect touch. This was his posthumous gift to us.
He could interview Brion whom is alive and kickin
I think you’re absolutely right. He was just a genius.
Yeah but there was actually supposed to be a third album to close the circle, a full out rap album.
smurfeNn how u kno? Can u send a link where u read ittt
@@chaching5995 Look it up it was suppose to be called Til Infinity. Swimming in Circles Til Infinity
I listened to Circles while trippin on acid, I didn't realized the album was playing on repeat and didn't even realized it until about 2.5 hours have passed. I remember laughing because I was so gone that I didn't realized I've been listening to the same album for the past 2.5 hours. I remember being in a rollercoaster of emotions through out the whole album. Thank you Mac for taking me thru that journey. RIP gone too soon
I'm just here to activate this core memory for you again 💜
@@capricornucopiuh thank you for this, probably the last time I took acid
its the way “once a day” can also be resolved into “come back to earth” so when theyre looped together its literally like youre “swimming in circles”
That's what I was saying! I mean the circles to circles works but going from circles all the way around to swimming - that's the real deal! Incredible
Ok this ACTUALLY blew my mind!!
@@forevercoco1 Now if you listen to once a day and turn all the way to doors from GO:OD AM it also matches. And in my opinion it makes perfect sense.
@@jansamuelnichau i just tried this holy fuck hes a genius
The hard part of coming to terms with Macs passing is that he literally left us a masterpiece and it was proof that he was only getting better and was the best he’s ever been musically at the time of his passing. A true legend and his name will live on for generations through his music.
This fact makes me the most sad
I say this exact thing to my homies all the time & ill never stop so neither should you, keep saying his name & playing his art & letting people know what a legend the world lost that day
I disagree I don’t think he was getting better, but I feel like he saw the end as something positive. I get this from the song Good News
This is always what gets me too
@@D0CT0RD00M same
One of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen 😭
Coming from you that’s a lot!!
@@Romeooda truth
Exactly what I was thinking!!
YOO JAKE ZEEMAN! I loved mac miller before i saw your videos but you gave me so much more love and enjoyment for his art i appreciate you so much
It really was. I enjoy Mac's music often and videos like this are mind blowing
the reason i love his music so much is because it feels like every time you listen to one of his songs, you find a detail or a certain line that you didn’t really hear/never paid attention to before, and it’s always something you need to hear in order to feel understood or just have him put what you’re feeling into words. I miss him so much.
Exactly. Every time I listen I connect it to something I’m going through and it’s perfect. Every time
Phone: 1%
Me: **this video**
Phone: I’ll wait
The quality of this video is unreal. So fucking well done.
I watched this on acid and I was trippin like crazy
I didn’t know it was possible to have chills for a straight 7 mins and 44 seconds
😂
I literally cried from a fucking video about music theory
Atleast I'm not alone in all this
@@Castro__welding im not crying you are !
LITERALLY!!
When i listen to mac miller or watch interviews or breakdowns like this i wish i realized him before. His story is so beautiful and sad at the same time but he became one of my favorite rappers sadly only after he passed away. He had so much talent was so versatile and putted his heart and soul in his music and albums. There aren’t many artists who can do that these days. He is forever integrated in my playlists 🤟🏼 R.I.P
Same with me! Now, it’s like I’m addicted to to his music and the meanings behind his songs. I really never knew him before except for his song “Donald Trump”. That was an interesting one for sure.
Same ❤
Malcolm was so self aware. His music was beautiful and I miss him every day. Thanks for taking a deeper dive and making this incredible video. Rest easy, Mac.
This 7 minute video felt like 1 minute...need a whole dissect season on swimming and circles...
I actually thought this was a 3 minute video at most until i saw your comment, truly amazing.
Also fun fact! the ending chord of Circles is the beginning Chord of Swimming
I would listen to the absolute hell out of that
word lol
👀
Oh my god this is such a good video.
Listen to the podcast JD. It's so good!
JD mad respect you still love mac
Skip the bs just skip to seven minutes in this vid
Thanks man! I’ve seen some of your videos, great stuff. 🙏🙏
@@DissectPodcast please do a deep dive for JUICE WRLD PLSSSS 😭😭
I’ve always listened to “So it goes” after I learned it’s supposedly the last song he listened to before dying. The ending was exactly what I pictured his soul leaving his body and into heaven. The ending perfect puts that vision into musical notes and it’s always such a beautiful part of any song to hear, yet very sad.
where did u hear it was the last song he heard?
@@peterschsler1145 Mac posted to his instagram story the morning he died with the camera showing only his record player, playing the ending of "So It Goes" as it closes out. It was posted basically minutes before its thought he OD'd. Its very likely it was indeed the last song he ever heard, at the very least one of the last songs. I remember waking up that morning and first thing I did was head to Instagram, he showed up as my first story option cuz Im a huge fan and he also had a insta live just a few days before. That day sucked.
@@albertorecio4008 oh my, truly is sad. Im crying
01:08 I just started crying.. Come Back To Earth is my favorite song by Mac and being reminded of the date of his death and the song starting right after it... It made me feel like I've lost someone who understood how I felt all over again. I'm thankful because all of us as his fans has his music to find comfort in and I'm so grateful. Love you Malcom🖤❤️🖤
I love how the video itself also loops in a similar fashion to the album. A great detail for a video of a great album. Mac will be missed.
Real shit
Don't anyone else like this comment
He’s being missed :/
Glad you caught that 😀
There’s no doubt in my mind this 100% intentional by Mac. He was a genius for real.
This has been done many many times before
@@arjunjai1852 did I ever say he was the only person to ever do it? No, I’m a huge fan and think the guy was insanely talented.
@@jhupp8707 nah i was just checking i agree he is talented just i see lots of people saying this and that about various artists ooh theyre the goat ooh theyre so new and a genius and ughh it irritates me :)
@@dejavu3914 you're most certainly not
This made me cry in such a good way. Hearing the loop just feels like a hug. Thank you for this video. Most dope forever
Finding Mac was like a breath of fresh air especially when dealing with an unexpected bump in life. It didn’t take long for me to fall in imagination when listening to Mac, I learnt a lot from his music.
It’s so hard to let go of a loss this big especially when it helped you get through rough shit. This Man was the one piece of comfort I will forever be able to hold onto, I thank you Mac and I appreciate everything you produced especially when you weren’t at your happiest. I feel so sorry for you because you were someone who everyone wanted to be around for anything, you were a much beloved genius who managed to carry out a wonderful enlightened career. For your fans, family and friends. We miss you Mac, hopefully we shall meet in another universe.
Until then make sure to be happy because you deserve to be. Maybe the fact that you helped me through a tough loss in my family might help but if it doesn’t then just know that we all look forward to seeing you again.
Fly high Mac Miller ⭕️..
i was waiting for the twist to be that the final chord led into Swimming tastefully, but i'll take looping back to the beginning of Circles. That's fun enough :)
I tried this. Doesn't work, technically speaking.
@@DissectPodcast Yeah i tried it too right after I commented haha. Oh well. Thanks for the response and the great work, as always, Cole!
@@DissectPodcast okay
@@DissectPodcast just went back and listened to the deluxe with “Right” which keeps the stylistics and “cord” on the outro from “once a day”. curious if Brion consciously knew the symmetry on the original LP like you said. So awesome :)
Just beautiful!
This is amazing! I miss him so much :(
Me too 😭
@@BushCampLadOfficial he's still alive in his music to me. there are so many unreleased songs out there.. go find them! MOST DOPE. RIP MACMILLER
me too bro
666 likes cus he aint write most of these lyrics and all you kids eat it up. He did this for the money.
@@innocenttheinexorable6610 🤦♂️
When he says once a day I rise and once a day I fall asleep with you. I believe that you is the drugs and that's why he can't find a single word because drug addition is just a ruthless circle of getting clean, recovery and relapse. Rip mac he definitely had his demons
Circles really was the perfect send-off. RIP Mac...
Damn this sorta feels like closure.
I was feeling the same.
absolutely
Wow
Broooo
I agree. Miss him so fucking much
hell yesssss best album of 2020 in my opinion
Agreed
Yeah its my favourite album aince
no not of 2020 best album of the hsitory
@@haltuaketti420 almost bud, lets slow down and take it from the top
how tf you comment a week ago ???
One of the most chilling verse for me is “every September I fall” for telling his use of heavy drugs. It’s like he knew.
This was a reference to a bar from Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza : “I been climbing up the Great Wall, haven't had a fall yet
These blogs gotta know I'm on next”
KIDS!
I had chills almost this entire video, thank you for your hard work and dedication so that you were able to share this with us.
"The album circles, is a circle"
LOVED THAT
I seriously cannot believe it is now 2021 and Mac died in 2018 - where did the time go?
This album will always remain a classic
TIME REALLY FLEW BY THAT FAST
damn :'(
The fact that he tweeted that only ten hours before passing is crazy.
This video is so good, really highlights the beauty of Swimming and Circles. It all shows just how creative and talented Mac was, and it just makes me even more sad that he’s gone now. He was one of the most creative and talented artists of this generation. He was taken from us too soon, RIP.
Well... now that I've got in my crying for the day...
I miss him so damn much
most dope 💜
Same😭😭😭
Same man
Well said my friend
RIP MAC
He left us with the best album of 2020 and something we can repeatedly visit when our mental health is struggling or we feel we can’t just break the cycle
So crazy that you mention it. I've been struggling with mental health all my life and it got significantly worse after I got bullied in grammar school for years. I moved to the other side of my country to get away from all the toxic shit. I only really started listening to Mac's music and interviews around four months ago when I moved here (thank god, his death would have broken me back then, there's not a day where I don't think about him now). Even though his life's so different I have never felt so deeply understood. Never has music hit such a deep connection although it's always been my coping mechanism. Whenever I feel like I'm absolutely alone in this world I sit outside on the fire escape stairs outside my appartement and listen to circles and suddenly I feel embraced, held and understood. I found him when I really needed him and I just wish he was here to live a little longer and not end up the way he never wanted to end up. But I deeply believe he knew deep down.
@@zoey7936 I feel you, his music is the only music I can genuinely connect to. Loosing him feels like loosing a family member or something, awful for real. His music lives on forever though 🙏
@@rileycass3388 this fandom too man...so accepting and welcoming...no matter when you joined...I love you people, I hope you're okay
@@zoey7936 one day at a time!
@@freddyfootstomps6557 thanks bro!
Mac was a legend from the day he started, when i first heard him (KIDS mixtape) i instantly got hooked, his music was with me through some hard times. Still can't believe he's gone
Why am I crying? His music speaks where I can’t.
Mindblown. So sad that I only gave him a first listen post-mortem. On the other hand, I'm just so glad I actually did... I'm 26 years old, and have been clean and sober for 6 years and 12 days, just for today. His songs have saved me several times. For those of you who are struggling right now, my heart is with you - do not give up on yourself. While there is life, there is a chance!
Congrats! Keep at it
Yooo 6 years in a row??? Haha jokes aside that's so awesome. I'm only 16 days and in sober living but thank you for making the comment
Congrats, would highly recommend faces by Mac!!!!
@@marck1773 God knows Faces has been there for me in all of my darkest hours. Such an unfiltered dive into the psyche of someone who's lost and teetering on the edge of sanity
7 months later, I hope you’re still doing well.
Mac Miller would be so happy you “figured” this out. He’s flipping in his grave in a good way. Thank you for this video. As a Big Mac fan there is no way the last chord wasn’t intentional. He was a musical genius and calculated in that way. Just like how the two albums are produced.
Factss
"As a Big Mac fan"
@@jordandonnelly7352 McDonald's takes the W
@@jordandonnelly7352 I was gonna say the same thing 😂
the first chord in “come back to earth” is a C major7 also resolves the last chord of “once a day” because cm7 is an e major chord with an extra added C added below
Thank you for saying this, it makes a lot more sequencial sense to have Once a Day link back to Come Back to Earth.
Nobody in the music industry is so intricate like how Mac Miller creates his music.
Mac may not be around but he’s still makin circles
thats a bar
i really dont understand what the hell does that mean, and no offense, but it sounds dumb :):
@@andresmendivelso7092 lol same
@@andresmendivelso7092 same lol

@@andresmendivelso7092 bruh. he passed away but his album still continues going in circles
There’s something about Swimming and especially Circles. I get too nostalgic listening to them and quite emotional. Almost no music gets me this way. I played Circles since it’s release and I can’t believe it’s been 1 year already. Macs music has been there for me through the ups and downs. His music captures feelings and other things I don’t even have the words for. I can’t believe how much I resonate with his work. Rest In Peace Mac Miller
2 years goes by quick
@@adricoronado623 way too fast. I remember when he passed like it was yesterday. And but his musics been getting me through each year
@Ciego Sanchez do you feel like watching Hanna barbera cartoons when listening to its instruments? particularly starting of mac miller 2009? feels like an intro to Tom and Jerry doesn't it?
I tear up every time I play circles
Tbhhhh I felt :((
This video just made me cry. Great work. Mac was so damn special. Its awesome seeing somebody else care so much about the art he created. One of the best discographies of any young artist in his generation imo. RIP MAC.
Same, i feel it to my soul and makes me tear up
mac truly was a genius i miss him often, wish i was waiting on the next new album but it will never come.... it's heart breaking such beautiful genius snuffed out at such a young age
I had a good friend named Jeremy. We used to call him Big Jerm before we even knew Mac Millers producer at Rostrum was Big Jerm. Jeremy was 7 years older than I, and couldn't get into newer music(This was around 2012). I showed him Mac. He loved it. We used to sing Senior Skip Day and Knock Knock at work acapella. I felt honored that he included Mac in his personal music repertoire. Jeremy unexpectedly passed away on January 19th 2019(Mac's birthday) four months after Mac passed. Jeremy was an avid poker player throughout his life. At his ceremony his brother handed out poker cards to everyone out of a brand new deck and see what you draw and keep it. I got 3 and 7. August 3rd Swimming release date. Sept. 7th- Death. The two are forever intertwined/synonymous in my mind. The nostalgia I get from listening to Mac reminds me of both of them and it's an over whelming feeling of emotions to be honest. Life is crazy. Keep your head up everyone. We've only just begun.
edit: Another song Jeremy loved that we used to sing acapella at work was Circles by Soul Coughing(Check it out!). Then Mac's last album is called Circles. Life is still crazy.
The universe works in mysteriously beautiful ways, it’s truly unfathomable. RIP man 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing this story bro. It’s crazy the stamp Mac left on a lot of us. Some artists seem to touch us differently. And Mac was definitely one for me. Hope Mac and your homey are resting in paradise ✌️
That’s fucking amazing wow wtf x
Wonderful video thanks
That's amazing and I absolutely love that for you.
I miss this dude. He was just maturing with his music, incredible artist
I got goosebumps watching this video. I would definitely watch a full analysis of the albums 👌🏼
This made me so emotional. I feel like I have a really strong connection with Mac, even if we don’t have much in common in our lives and he’s not here anymore. I just think he is an amazing person that genuinely loved music and his fans so much that he never created drama or went crazy for his success. His struggle with drugs and depression just hit right in a big majority of his songs, especially the latest. I don’t think that once I have listened to Swimming and Circles I’ll be able to find an album with a connection this strong with the listener. I just miss him so much, it’d be real cool if once I had gone to his concert. RIP, Mac, you gave us a part of you that was missing in all of us.
Cole you never cease to amaze me. Thank you for helping us appreciate Mac even more ❤️
🙏🙏
Its so sad this world is never going to get more of Mac Miller
This was beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to inform us and thanks to the legend Malcom Miller for all he’s helped me through in my life. RIP 🐐
“Why can’t it just be easy? Why does everybody need me to stay..?”
This podcast is so underrated. The visuals are great, appreciate the efforts.
If you’ve ever been truly depressed in the past year you know circles is a circle. God.. I listened to this album for a full 16 hours straight. I can’t even watch this video
I knew it as well, I'm crying bro 😔💜
Also lots of artists have done that.
🥲this album helped me through a lot
I couldn't even get myself to listen to these albums.. even listening to his old music bums me out
Thats why I do a lot of drugs.... I'm NEVER depressed anymore.
all I can do now is tear up and have goosebumps... he is gone but i wish i was able to hear his music earlier than i did cause now i am just missing him... swimming and circles, especially circles is so close to my heart. the first time i listened to it, it drained my energy and that whole day all i did was to listen to it cause it was addicting. whenever i listen to it, the feelings never change. no matter how happy i am as of the moment, when i play the album, i just find myself lurking at the corner of my room, thinking about life. my energy is drained and i feel like crying but i can't. it may look as a sad scene for others' perspective but i find peace in it. i appreciate being alone often times cause circle album accompanies me very well. all the thoughts i can't put into words Mac wrote it into a beautiful album, i will forever treasure... i love u Mac, fly high!
Great video! Just the other day I was listening to all of mac’s music and I noticed that the ending of once a day plays perfectly into doors on his GO:OD AM album. Even if it’s unintentional, still amazing to see his last album connect to the large circle of his entire music career. Rest in peace mac, you will always be loved.
Thank god someone finally made a video showing how good mac actually is, hes such an underrated artist and always has been.
For real.
Not really, he is quite respected as an original rapper by real Hip Hop Heads
@@andinda7915 he is, but with stuff like this you see that he is much more than just a rapper
@@ricci2511 Why? What did he do that makes you think he is much more than a rapper?
@@andinda7915 if you know enough about him you know that he played various instruments, produced several of his own songs, also singing and not rapping in many of his songs, and to see everything i said in action you can check out some of his performances, very little rappers do all i've mentioned.
I think the covers to these two albums are so crazy, swimming it seems like he’s sitting in a coffin hence the dirty feet and the window in the sky like he’s in heaven. Then on circles he has a picture of himself as an apparition, almost like he’s passed on but he’s still here.
I think it’s more like head in the clouds and feet on the ground meaning how he’s battling with addiction while trying to stay connected with reality; however that is an interesting take on what the cover symbolizes
@@christianbetancourt869 i think he designed it to be able to be interpreted in many different ways, all being meaningful. Just amazing how thoughtful he was/is
To me when Mac tweeted out thanking Jon Brion for the Heavenly finish to swimming it felt like almost a story to be continued and circles finished it like it feels like Mac is on the other side
I just got into Mac about a year ago. Can’t believe how much beauty I missed up until now. Thankful I ventured his direction. RIP Sir. You live on forever
I haven't watched this video till today, but when Circles came out I listened to it straight with no shuffle just repeat on the album. It got to the point where the end of Once a day and the beginning of circles felt relaxing and it made me feel complete everytime I listened. Now I know why and it got my crying my eyes out right now.
I think Mac already knew what his fate was, just had a strong sense about it.
I still find it hard to listen to Perfect Circle/God Speed. These lyrics kill me. He knew.
Everybody say I need rehab
Cause I'm speedin' with a blindfold on and won't be long 'til they watching me crash
And they don't wanna see that
They don't want me to OD and have to talk to my mother
Telling her they could have done more to help me
And she'll be crying saying that she'll do anything to have me back
@@iz-296z4 that verse is just sheer raw honesty. It makes me cry even to just read it
him anticipating his death from drugs was a recurring theme in many of his projects. listen to the first song of faces. it starts out "i should have died already", and that theme continues throughout the project. and good am. and swimming
Remember on his song Brand Name, he said I’m hoping not to join the 27 club. :( He didn’t join. R.I.P. Mac Mill
@@illgates2940 close enough
Its crazy how much hidden things Artist put in their Music but doesn't get recognized by anyone by just listening once.
Yes everyone recognizes them just because Tammy and her boo Jenae don't listen to the words doesn't mean people don't hear them this is why people gravitate towards certain artists because of the deeper message
i think we subconsciously pick up on these hidden meanings or patterns which is part of why we enjoy the song. but it take a more conscious effort to fully recognize them.
Chills down my spine with the last minute or so of this video, especially the ending. What an excellent analysis of Mac's final work.
all i can say is literal genius mac was such a inspiration and still is i hope his soul is happy were ever he went
Please do Swimming or Circles (or a combination) for next season!! Then post it on Mac Miller Reddit because there are like 45,000 people who would listen to it several times through! Amazing Reddit for those who have never been. So kind.
Yes there are almost 70,000 and this video has only 7k views

@Orion Raka thank you 😊
Tom Goulet killed it on the animation.
Yes! The motion graphics in this video are astounding
true that
Was looking for this comment. The motion graphics have people locked in
The animation on this is so good
I love these 2 albums because of the consistency of story telling between it. I think Mac knew exactly what he was doing with these albums and for me, it felt like a letter of goodbye.
Cole on point with the analysis as always. I was hoping we would get a whole season on these two albums eventually, but this video alone already made me appreciate these albums even more than I already did. RIP Mac now and forever.
As always? He has just posted 1 vid prior to this 🤔
Oh he has a podcast?
@@udkc yep, look up Dissect on Spotify. it's amazing.
Please tell me season 8 is gonna be on Swimming in Circles bro I would freak out
I think it's been unofficially confirmed to be Yeezus by Kanye.
@@mosesperin8145 where?
BROO NEED DAT
@@joerie8941 Cole did a Q&A on Instagram. One of the questions asked what his favorite albums were, and he said: TPAB, Kid A, and Yeezus. On another question, he was asked what his favorite album that he's dissected was, and he said TPAB or Season 8 (so it could be Yeezus or Kid A, but Yeezus fits in with the type of albums he's dissected previously). Later in the Q&A, someone asked him directly what Season 8 would be, and he said he wouldn't say, but that he had "kind of given it away if you knew where to look".
@@mosesperin8145 damn but that might actually hint at something different. I’m interested to find out
The editing and animation is beautiful and so much work/effort was put into this video. Thank you :) subscribed
This hit me harder than anything in a really long time. Studio sessions and time months into the end of this hurt to re live, yet I know how important it is to keep the life and memories of this project alive for as long as we can. Thank you so much for putting this together, and for drawing the connections.
Last year I went to the Pittsburgh pop up event for the release of the album circles. The team put my fan art up in the gallery and they had a private listening room, that was where I listened to the album for the first time. When the album finished, I had a similar thought of it feeling incomplete. At the time I felt incomplete (I was struggling with my own addictions) I listened to the album on repeat on an 8 hour flight back home. It wasn’t until this day where I finally understand it was always complete. Quite recently I finally gained control of my life again and I’m free of my addictions. I finally feel complete too. It’s crazy to me that one year later it all came full circle.... thank you for making this video. Rest In Peace Mac Miller.
I have been trying to explain this to people since the album came out but I don’t have the platform. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I can’t believe someone finally brought this to light. Miss this man every single day
I listen to circles every single day and I can't express how much your posting of this video is important to me. thank you for sharing it means the world
Love that final graphic with all the songs in a circle. Did you create that? I’d love to get that for my lock screen 🙌🏻
The most underrated rapper.
He was way more than a rapper
Greatest rapper of all time
Stop throwing useless takes and enjoy his music.
he is not underrated tho. he got the recognition he deserves even when he's still alive
@@eubruhnn I don't believe so. He was way more than a rapper. He was in a different class, he was a true musician and he finally showed it in swimming in circles. That makes him so underrated. He makes music like nobody, and I'm not talking about recognition, I'm talking about credit! I love him with all of my heart and I hope he's in a better place rn.
That final chord on circles also fits nicely with the start of swimming.
Man, this video is perfect, and I love how the end of the video and its beginning form a circle.
Miss you Mac. Thank you for everything you’ve done for your listeners.
as for the video, love the detail. thanks for spreading this much needed knowledge.
Beautiful video. One last thing: The way Mac says “So it goes” during the chorus of the last song sounds like he’s saying “circles, circles, circles”
Great ear!
Whoa!!! Never thought of that
wait ur telling me it wasn’t circles this whole time
his whole life was a circle and the point where a circle ends is the same as it starts, his history will never end. 92 to infinity!! rest easy bro
This is how we chill, 93 till
Cannot belive the quality and love in this video. Thanks dissect podcast.
thank you so much for making this. got me crying
Mac was a musical genius.. wouldn’t be surprised if this was intentional.
Above all, he was a good man.helped endless amounts of up incoming artists.
"It's a shame my tragedy my masterpiece". "only suicidal mf with a smile on". "Trying not to join the 27 club"
The circle started a long time ago, a real long time ago. Its hard to understand that/how he felt out of place in the world he created. He belonged there. Here.
faces is such a sad mixtape in retrospect
Let’s hold hands and sing the Bible, that’s a violent song!
@@joetaxpayer8180 True but certain tracks are so fucking beautiful like Apparition
@@terrytwo we're talking about a suicidal rapper, not just any person. "the day I die on will turn me to an icon".
He says that and it comes off sarcastic imo. Then there's "I wash these pills down with liquor and fall". How many coincidences will it take? He's rapping about dying the exact way he dies years before he died. You can pretty much pin point when mac shifted into this kinda talk to about 8 years ago, around the same time he slipped into the deep depression because of the criticism he was getting.
@@terrytwo "trying not to join the 27 club", then dies at 26.
Don't take my word for it. Go back and listen to the music. All of it. Plug in the idea to swimming and circles. GO:OD am coincidentally spells go od.
There's nothing you could tell me otherwise. The last 6 years of his life he spent rapping about dying, should've died already, longing for closure on what happens in death.
Plug the idea into the titles of songs. "Ascension" "come back to earth" "stay".
Im not saying it's a happy thought. I'm not saying I'm glad he's gone. It just seems to me that he had been ready to go for a long time, and the fact that he rapped about exactly how he died doesn't come off as coincidental.
"That fentanyl it numb me"... So the OD was his first exposure to the substance or? "I wash these pills down with liquor and fall" anyone who does opiates knows the two don't mix.
"Drug habit like Seymour Hoffman will put me in a coffin", then literally dies on the same mix Seymour Hoffman died from.
I mean, come on my guy. Literally every song is about him dying.
What really hits it home is that line "it's a shame my tragedy my masterpiece"... I don't know how many more of these I need to point out to get my point across.
Let's say it wasn't on purpose for argument sake, he was ready to go at the very least. And personally, I wouldn't be the one to demand a tortured soul stay longer than they can bare because I want their music.
It's hard to understand why someone so successful would want to leave, but I think he made it pretty obvious he didn't want to stay.
"Well I'm way too young, to be getting old"
Suspend your disbelief
I keep coming back to this video, like my own little mini circle, it’s the most beautiful music based video I’ve ever watched. This is my earth
Iv struggled with addiction for the last 10 years and I always felt like Mac had my back, iv literally never had more in common with another person. I cry when I listen to this album because it just reminds me of a lot of hardships iv been through and all I ever wanted was to make everyone happy and I feel like I'm always just stuck in a loop. I could have the whole world in my hands at times and I will drive myself back down just for another hit. I sit here writing this while going threw detox and while I struggle to avoid another day drowning myself in what I feel is the only thing that has ever loved me back.
The man who taught me that any day could be the best day ever, rest in paradise King.
In the Deluxe version of Circles, the song after “Once a Day” starts with Once a Day’s instrumental from the ending in reverse
I really want to believe this video is accurate cos it's amazing, but can't help but feel like this is the more likely reason Once a Day finishes on that note...
@@pewpew-fb3qc ig its just like bro said in the video, doesnt matter whether it was intentional, its there :')
@@510nico4 very true man!
@@pewpew-fb3qc Personally, it more relates to 'Come Back To Earth' rather than Circles. 'So it Goes' absolutely links to Circles, and I believe that it goes from Circles through to Once A Day, then after that it goes to CBTE, all the way through to So it Goes.
Absolutely deliberate. I’m so happy you made this video. You put into words what I already knew in my soul from listening. It’s almost like that last song on circles feels like an ending, or nighttime/sleep, and the first song feels like early morning, just waking up. Mac will always be one of the most amazing musicians to ever live. God bless you all
Literally only found out about him a year ago and I’m happy I found out about him, but also kinda sad that I didn’t get to experience the feeling of new releases when he was alive
Love how the ending of the album sounds dark like night, “once a day I fall,” and starts bright like day, “once a day I rise.” Mac really was a musical genius and we were all so lucky to be able to hear his music and watch him grow. Gone too too soon.
we are all witnesses of Mac's character development through the dynamics of his music. A musical genius.
Normally I am a stone cold person, but the realisation of this beautiful circle he created, I couldn’t stop but crying my eyes out… you are very much misst! R.I.P
I never listened to mac, but I listened to good news back in december and it brought me to tears. A couple minutes into this video and I couldn't help it. Such a great man. Beautiful. So beautiful.
