“Circles was supposed to be a companion to “Swimming.” How did you understand the relationship between the two projects?”

He had this whole aquatic theme that came out of something we’d talked about when he was working on “Swimming.” I’d noticed he mentioned water a few times in the lyrics, and then that grew into all these discussions about water and what it sounds like that became kind of a running joke. There were supposed to be three albums: the first, “Swimming,” was sort of the hybridization of going between hip-hop and song form. The second, which he’d already decided would be called “Circles,” would be song-based. And I believe the third one would have been just a pure hip-hop record. I think he wanted to tell people, “I still love this, I still do this.”

f u c k

Mac had a crazy work ethic so it could be done. Fingers crossed.

Damn

A pure hip hop album. Would've been crazy.

That would've probably been my favorite out of the 3

Damn I love rapping Mac

everything about his passing is just so tragic

Well now my day is ruined

please tell me they have something they can put together

the loss just keeps getting harder to swallow man

F***

Maybe an EP at best tbh

This is probably the rollout for it. They’re gonna come out after this next one and say that it was supposed to be a 4 album series about swimming circles in the water at the lake

was this supposed to be funny?

matter fact u blocked for saying some stupid s*** like that.

No it just seems super convenient that there was a third installment nobody mentioned when they mentioned the second

👍

Need new Mac Miller

I was better off not knowing this

Could it be related to the fact that the 2nd project had already progressed a fair amount before his passing, while this 3rd one was nothing but an idea?

Are we sure this isn't just an way for them to release another album and make money off it? If so, keep it. Circles is a great closer.
