The Definitive Guide to Mac Miller’s Best Songs
OK, (Mostly) Definitive
Since his death, Mac Miller’s music has exploded in popularity. His first posthumous album, Circles, is one of his most commercially successful. For many people, it was their first experience listening to Mac’s music.
Lots of critics also discovered Mac Miller late, attracted by his notable death or late-career evolution. As a result, most podcasts or articles discussing Mac’s music feel ill-informed and incomplete.
There needed to be a more complete, thorough analysis of Mac’s best songs, from the perspective of a long-time fan. That’s where I come in. I’ve been listening to Mac Miller for 11 years now. He first came into my life in 2010.
From then on, Mac Miller was like the older brother I never had, a feeling shared by millions of Youtube commenters. Only 4 years older than me, he grew up slightly before I did. Despite being rich and famous, Miller often felt like a guide for those formative years of life.
This is Mac Miller’s greatest power: his honesty and relatability.
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). But when Faces arrived in 2014, I was back in. All the way in.
