Mac Miller really pulled up with a full fucking jazz/funk band. A composer, a true musician and a legend. Most fucking dope man.

Should seriously start a petition to get this man his deserved Grammy, really sad cardi b won over an absolute work of art that is called swimming

[lw_mile]

I’m so sad I found out about this man after his death, he was such a great musician. He wasn’t just a rapper.

[cheezytacos]

Artists like Mac Miller are a lesson to us all to appreciate people while they're still here. Dude was a genius. He didn't get his roses while he was here like he should've.

The swimming tour would have been so great 😥

[Someone-fnij]

He was so much more than a rapper. I mean, how many other rappers perform with fucking trumpets and saxophones on stage?? He was so versatile.

[bigdankenergy]

Still one of Mac's best performances, 5 years later. RIP brother

[jadtabiat]

The system failed you. We all know who really dropped rap album of the year.

[ohdarling]

his quiet little "thank you" at the end just breaks my heart.

[evwanders]

This is literally Mac’s best live performance you can find on youtube. Keep coming back time and time again. Such a celebration of life. Pure inspiration. Sad he left right at the point of entering his prime.

[naderfaez]

Smiles on everyone’s face... that’s what you did Mac

[elyangel]

Who else is going through videos of all Mac’s performances

[denisepaulsenful]

Wow. Now I understand why my kids were so shook the day he passed. It's not often I see my 21-yr old son in tears But now I get it. ... He was truly unique. Death through misadventure. It was an awful mistake. Just terrible. Love you forever Mac. Your music lives on. xoxo

3:16 The energy in that song with a live band and that horn section is spectacular.

Who ever loves Mac Miller! Will always be a friend to me...

Use me as the Mac got robbed at the Grammy's button

[iijuggyii]

Mac Miller is the only rapper to make me cry. Mac Miller is the only rapper that I can feel happy. Mac Miller is the only rapper that makes me not feel sad, angry or depressed. RIP Brother WE Miss you everyday...

Only recently been introduced to Mac Miller by my daughter and at 61 years old I absolutely love the guy! I found my groove again and I have this young man's music to thank for it.
So sad he isn't still around to add to his catalogue of music but one thing is for sure he's already a legend in my eyes.

[akborra]

This is probably my 50th time watching this. It makes me feel so good. Having a bad day? Just turn this on, and instantly feel better-it's cathartic. RIP Mac we truly lost an amazing person. Too good for this world I guess. His last album says it all.

Mac Miller is one of the rare rappers that evolved his sound himself and didn’t turn into the mainstream auto tune BS
