Now, I have to be honest and admit I abandoned Mac from 2011–2014, due to The Album Which Shall Not Be Named (until later on). This is Mac Miller’s greatest power: his honesty and relatability. Despite being rich and famous, Miller often felt like a guide for those formative years of life. Only 4 years older than me, he grew up slightly before I did.

He first came into my life in 2010.įrom then on, Mac Miller was like the older brother I never had, a feeling shared by millions of Youtube commenters. I’ve been listening to Mac Miller for 11 years now. There needed to be a more complete, thorough analysis of Mac’s best songs, from the perspective of a long-time fan.

As a result, most podcasts or articles discussing Mac’s music feel ill-informed and incomplete. Lots of critics also discovered Mac Miller late, attracted by his notable death or late-career evolution. For many people, it was their first experience listening to Mac’s music. His first posthumous album, Circles, is one of his most commercially successful. Since his death, Mac Miller’s music has exploded in popularity.
