very very interesting topic. i agree too

this nigga spitting

I remember when people used to think that Mac Miller was corny.

Naaah...Fuck that.

Mac was a real one.

RIP

mac last two projects werent even rap lowkey

article on some hater s***

every artist to die in the last 5ish years got a massive posthumous boost from dying

Lmao this some clown f*** boy writing dude sounds beyond bitter "somehow" "been credited" "way too celebratory"

"Since then, Miller has somehow become the subject of an upcoming biography, held an audience of 20 million monthly Spotify listeners, and been credited with an annual posthumous album—the last one came out this past July. It is all way too celebratory for a musician that made progressive-seeming rap for secret simpletons"

he was and then he grew as an artist

Mac Miller really wasn’t all that, but can’t say that around y’all without catching feelings 😴

Bullshit all my nigga fw mac

Out of all the white ppl to criticize…

Mac Miller?

" In the same way Harlow is mid for the proletariat, Miller is mid for the faux-thinkers."

I refuse to believe this is an actual sentence written by an actual writer

They are BORED trying to get clicks

Every five years, a white rapper that wouldn’t survive on a Wu-Tang song—or on a Youngboy song, for that matter—reaches stratospheric levels of popularity.

I agree with the sentiment of this article but Mac was different.

I'm talking even then.

man what!

sure, I won't deny that whiteness is a factor. white artists are more easy to market to white kids, and there are way more white kids than black kids, so white artists have better odds at doing well commercially.

But if you're out here acting like whiteness is solely responsible for Mac's success, that he wouldn't have reached similar heights if he was black or something...

I mean cmon u ever heard the man's music?

Notice how they waited a week after the anniversary of his death to drop this.

he said Mac strictly for clickbait.

The rest of the article makes a lot of sense.

Twitter brain worms

if mac miller was black he wouldnt be bigger than Isaiah rasaahd #facts

Which bugs me the most because Mac really is the exception I feel. Dude just f***ed with everybody and everybody f***ed with him.

"Jayson Buford is a New York-based writer, a lifelong Knicks fan, who loves Wu-Tang and his English bulldog, Joan. He still watches Woody Allen movies."

......what?

I agree with the anti jack Harlow sentiment though good stuff

Not gonna read this but calling Mac mid was really not that rare b4 his death like u there's plenty receipts all over the net.
