What impact has Mac Miller's death had on you?
Mac Miller was my idol.I started listening to him around 2011/2012. I still remember the first song I heard (All Around The World from his mixtape Best Day Ever) and how much I instantly fell in love with him afterwards. Within a few months of listening to his older tracks, he had climbed up the ranks and become my favourite musician.It's as though I watched him grow from that point onwards. From making frat music on K.I.D.S to the mental health orientated and extremely mature Swimming.I remember when I started doing drugs in my earlier teenage days, I'd never end a session without playing one if his tracks from his drug reference filled mixtape Faces or nostalgic album Watching Movies With The Sound Off. I began associating him with my drug use (an association I carried with me up until his untimely death).His music was also the soundtrack to a lot of events in my life. I'll give one example: since 2016 I've been severely depressed. From then til now, I've found comfort in the many songs he made in which he discusses his own battles with depression. Going through such a tough time is always easier when you realize your idol experiences the same sort of emotions that you do; his music always reminded me that you're not alone in your struggles.Sadly however, he passed on from a drug overdose. The following few weeks were extremely emotional for me: I had lost my biggest idol. I remember not being able to listen to anything other than the masterpieces he had created over the span of his career. From “The High Life”, to “GO:OD A.M.”, to “Swimming”.Most importantly though, his drug overdose sorta solidified the fact that I needed to stop doing drugs. At this point I was drowning myself in prescription-grade medication. So much so that I'm still shocked I too didn't end up dying from an overdose last year. His death was one of the main factors that contributed to me deciding to be sober and checking in to rehab.Mac Miller was the best friend that I never met. I loved him throughout his life, and will continue to love him in his absence. He was an amazing human being that was taken from us too soon, as many with that attribute so often are.To commemorate his impact on my life I even got the album art of his album GO:OD A.M. (an album where he tells the world that he is ok despite all the crazy things he was going through in the years prior to it's release) tattooed on my forearm in January. Here it is:Rest up Malcolm.
What was your reaction when you heard Mac Miller died?
What was your reaction when you heard Mac Miller died?I felt like listening to “Loud" on repeat all night while crying, but I didn't.It hit a little close to home for me and I felt a lot of sympathy for his friends and family.Also reminded me how ungrateful I was back during my addictions, living fast and not realizing (or not caring while being depressed) how easily life is taken and how your life affects more than just you.He was so young! :( Same age as me. Felt as though I could've been in his place easily.It made me think.
Is Tana Mongeau exploiting Mac Miller’s death for attention?
I would say soMac for sure was dating girls but if he dated her and got serious with her she would have posted photo with him instead of a screenshot (in which btw wasnt anything even romantic, more just like friends conversation. She wrote her story in caption but she is known for making them up). Also she was spotted a day before making out with other guy. I find her behavior pathetic but at the same time it’s not my job to judge anyone.
Why are there more Mac Miller fans now that he is dead? Why weren't they fans of his when he was still alive?
People are always admired more when they are gone. You leave a mark on someone’s life no matter how small or how large. We meet countless people and sometimes they stay in our lives. Other times we stop being friends. And yet other times we lose friends in unexpected ways. Overdoses affect everyone differently. I myself have lost people in my life due to things like suicide, rare medical issues, and overdoses. Mac Miller has a huge following: his own success since he was a child, a new following that resulted from his relationship with Ariana Grande, infamy due to his drug and alcohol abuses including his DUI before his death, and finally his death. When you die in a tragic way, people tend to remember you. He was 26 and as his ex girlfriend Ariana Grande put it, “the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he didn’t deserve”. Addiction places a torment on not only the addict, but those who love and care for the addict. Ariana and Mac’s mother were two people who I’ve seen react strongly to his death. Regardless of what you think about him for being a drug abuser and alcohol abuser, he was still someone’s grandson, son, nephew, brother, friend, ex or even source of inspiration as he was for his fans. Even with his struggles he still helped others. He got Ariana’s brother Frankie a card and gift for his sobriety, even though he himself struggled. I live near New Hampshire where overdoses are rampant, and it has impacted my life. Even if I wasn’t always close with the person or if I barely knew them. No one should suffer that much, and the loved ones shouldn’t suffer either.

Why do people think it's acceptable to blame Mac Miller's death on Ariana Grande?
People hate on Ariana Grande because they find her behavior pathetic.It’s okay to break up with anyone you want and it’s okay not to stay in toxic relationship, but…Instead of privet message she wrote her heart out about why breaking up with him must be the best option for him. Simple move to get the audience like you. It’s not that badAfter Mac Miller car accident she didn’t supported him but wrote quick note on social media. After someone saying it’s pretty bad of her she took all the dirty from her relationship and called Mac toxic. I think the only way to do it should be on privet message to Mac but it wasn’t about her caring or being mad at Mac but wanting to put herself in spotlight and make public like her/feel bad for her even tho “her best friend” is thrown under a busToo quick with Pete. It’s arguable if few weeks after break up to get engaged is okay or nah but for sure it’s not okay to say that you had crush on that person while you was in relationship with Mac (well she used to tell she loved him since she met him too). Also she was just bagging all the time about Pete knowing in how bad mental health Mac was (look 2nd point).Her post on ig are jokes. This quick text about Mac is just weird. Like his death would be her another problem. And this cold “rest” on the end lol. End then like nothing never happened moving on with other posts. Pretty quickly for a someone who’s “dearest friend” just passed away5. Conspiracy stories - he was sucrefised for her.Im not judging her tho and I don’t think it’s bad she has her own life but I totally lost respect to her when I saw that public opinion is her number one way above Mac Miller. I can’t make her love him but she seems so fake in that situation and I just don’t like the way she handled things.I also don’t think we can blame her for Mac’s death.
