Dad Reacts to Mac Miller - Swimming

Run the Jewels

Sergio Mendez

I signed up to watch the full version of someone falling in love with Mac’s music for the first time. It’s a special moment

Pat

idk if anybody said it but the bass was played by thundercat

Alejandro Ochoa

I’m super late but I just grabbed your patreon to watch all your Mac reactions uncut How i interpret the synth ending on so it goes is the ascension of a high on drugs. Beginning of 2009 is orchestral, the true innocence of hope, the end of so it goes is the synthetic version of that hope. The drugs. You’ll also notice the synths overpower the end of the song. I interpret that as the drugs over powering whatever positive mantra Mac was trying to tell himself. The entire album is him being realistic about where he was. hopeful and at times desperate to get past it. But in his heart he knew the drugs would over power all of that. In different songs he references how good that high is and how almost worth it it is. That over powering synth is that high in my opinion Just my theory listening to it stoned lol

Dustin pooler

This is my first introduction to you guys… I listen to Mac Miller with my younger kids almost every day… Of course I am very selective with the tracks I let them hear from his early work… However Swimming and Circles is in our rotation at least a few songs before bed every night and my 10-year-old came across this video on YouTube and we enjoyed watching the swimming… And the circles video so much that we subscribed immediately to Patreon…

Chris Fullerton

Any Run The Jewels reactions planned? Or R.A.P Music - Killer Mike? Or any EL-P for that matter I love it all

Paul Timmins

Got to see this man Live before he passed. Hands down one of the best day of my life.

Bob Jones

When Kevin said "somethings going to freak me out" moments before the beat kicked in on What The Use?

marcus

I watched this on YouTube and it made me cry. Definitely appreciate your love for Mac and your dad giving such genuine responses. Had to sub above the min. haha

Trevor Teutsch

You guys are going to do Thundercat's "Drunk", right?

Ben Morrison

I am a huge fan of Mac and am still grieving his loss. This meant a lot to me because I've tried showing my dad his music and I get the "I don't listen to rap" response. Having someone listen to him and see what we see is amazing!!! Thank you!!!!!

maddie gangle

I really feel like Kev would have a great appreciation for Mac's lesser know alias, Larry Lovestein & the Velvet Revival!!!

Shawn O'Trimble

Go circles next and then go back as far as you’d like and move forward from there Por favor

Jake Merloni

from a human from pittsburgh id love to hear what pops has to say about any of macs albums cause mac being shared is always a great thing

Jonathan Kennedy

M on

Jose Delgado

After watching this, I’d love to hear what you both think of Taylor’s folklore album. (Yes, it’s possible to be a Kanye and Taylor stan) 😊

Ryan (WaveReact)

FACES

hadeha

the outro to 2009 was the last thing mac miller posted on his IG stories the night before he passed away. it was still on his stories for like 12 hours after the news broke about his death. it was extremely sad and eerie to watch those knowing he passed away shortly thereafter.

nico

another beautiful dope vid! love this album.

yabskee

am i the only one who would love a reaction so lana del rey? i feel like kevin would really appreciate ultraviolence!

Selma Hagen

Suggested artists to do, nas, childish gambino, curren$y, wu tang, eric b and rakim, gang starr, chance the rapper, nujabes, the fugees, bone thugs n harmony, rick ross, twista, logic, etc. Especially the older hip hop, it would be good for Kevin to experience!

Chris Callahan

Great as always, have you ever considered showing your dad Childish Gambinos Camp album?

will ansell

perfect circles, god speed is one of the hardest tracks for me to listen to. When you talk about self aware its the true words of mac saying I am not good getting better but if I go this will be how it is.

schwiftiii .

You guys gotta do Divine Feminine at some point! Kevin would love it. So excited for more Mac

Daq

I'd love to see you guys react to some of the music videos that go along with these albums some day! Thanks for the great content!!!

Brandon Rodriguez

You guys should do a reaction to Mac’s tiny desk performance!!

Yannic Castonguay

Are you guys gonna do is this it by the strokes?

Ben Steger

This was beautiful :)

Johnnie Huber Von

Swimming was definitely the best way to introduce Mac subscribed to patreon just bc I wanted to hear the full analysis of this album after watching the youtube video

Nick Hartmann

I was going through a ton of things when this drop and the album helped me with it all. Thank you Mac.

Aaron Romano

this is exactly what ive been waiting for cant wait for Faces and Circles

michael

This is incredible. These videos are really as close as we're going to get to listening to a Mac album for the first time 👏

Lewis

But Kevin definitely needs to hear watching movies good a.m. faces the divine feminine as well. The progression is super important

Kyle Johnson

Would be really cool if you did a reaction to the tiny desk and then circles. And then film Kevin showing his wife the album as well. Circles is going to make Kevin cry 😭😭 easily macs most somber and vulnerable album. Thank you guys for this. Can’t wait for circles 🤍

Kyle Johnson

Thanks so much for covering this album. I started listening to Mac Miller when I was 17 and he was 18 and he had just dropped KIDS When he passed, I was genuinely distraught, yes I had never met him of course but because of our ages and how each and every single album he dropped seemed to mirror the exact same place I was in life. When he dropped Swimming I obviously loved it and I listened to it non-stop. But since he passed, I haven’t been able to get through the entire album until I was listening with you guys. Wept like a baby on 2009 but it was really cathartic. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Bubu

I love watching the full unedited videos sm

gabe Viteri

Deep throater x'D

Didric

if it's not too late, you guys should do a live review of the tiny desk

Keith Sabolesky

You guys are the best, thank you so much for this! <3

jgakpp

Patiently waiting for Mac Miller - Circles

Trevor George

watching movies with the sound off is my favorite album by mac, would love to see his whole discography!

flxtchrr

also the final track was co-produced by Jon Brion, who worked on a lot of Frank ocean and Kanye's music..... Mac obviously was excecutive producer on the whole album but he chooses an allstar crew to collaborate with, which in my opinion is what makes a truly great artist.

Nathan Ivor Barlow

Fun fact: track 2 was produced and co - written by J-COLE

Nathan Ivor Barlow

I reckon Kevin would love Joji - NECTAR.... I know it's not a usual album but considering his backround I think it's an incredible pop album.

Nathan Ivor Barlow

Such an incredible album. Although it's a tough listen I hope you still cover CIRCLES... Some of the tracks are soo beautiful

Nathan Ivor Barlow

Underpressure Logic please

Eduardo Avila

That bass line is so obviously ThunderCat hahaha

PlatinumRMX

Without a doubt my favorite album of all time, means so much to me. Great to share the experience

Noah Peralta

This album litteraly saved my life, and I have been waiting for you guys to react for a while. You dropped this for my birthday, this means so much to me. Thank you so much !!!

Arthur Klause

Why are Vimeo videos always 540p?

PlatinumRMX

Have dad react to jonatan leandoer96 / yung lean one of his albums

norhye

This album is incredible. Mac is my biggest inspiration in life. Wouldn’t be the same without him.- in regards to all the small details you noticed, it is incredible the amount detail in his lyrics and music production! You should check out the ‘dissect podcast’ on Spotify. It really blew my mind even more how much he loved making his craft. You guys are legends, look forward to more of the Mac reactions. Big up - Stefan 🤙🏼

Stefan Holmes

When you do Circles it has to be the deluxe version! Right is one of the best tracks on the album

Daq

The Mac Trifecta for me is The Divine Feminine - Swimming - Circles. Not a single song I don't love (at certain times) in any of those albums. You guys should do The Divine Feminine before (no pun intended) circling back to Circles.

César Salas

madvillainy Please

Netero

Kevin would really enjoy Care For Me by Saba. I showed it to my mom and she loved it.

Will Henson

Beautiful album ❤️

TTT

Just finished watching it with Connor. It was so good. I love how Mac interacts with the other musicians and just seems to be so humble. The Larry King interview was amazing to watch as well!

TTT

How did you like the album Ken ? - Kev

TTT

This album really really did something to me.. I love it from top to bottom Thanks for the support - Kev

TTT

Was just about to watch the premiere on YouTube n I was like shit! I’m a patron. Love the stuff guys, this is gonna keep me up so late. I love Mac. Can’t wait to hear dads thoughts.

Tyson Scott

Circles and Faces please!!

Jacob Lux

one of my fav albums by Mac, please show him larry fisherman aswell. Also, would love to see some selective songs like blue world

Ben Caldwell

Also just signed up as soon as i saw your post on youtube. Gotta do all of Macs discography now!! At least circles to follow up swimming and then maybe faces!

Blake

Became a patreon the second I noticed this reaction. Hoping for a similar series as with Radiohead. Circles and Faces are in my top 3 along with swimming.. Thanks for doing this!

Josef Rantamaki

Had to sign up for patreon as I just couldn’t wait for the YouTube upload.

Luke Moss

hoping to see circles up next!!!

kumquat

I hope you guys will record the npr reaction! love this album mac helped me throguh allot, <3

Nick Roth

jay z magna carta holy grail please

Isaiah Muhammad

💯

David Roshon

Avantdale Bowling Club has the same effect on me as this album.

CFH

The thought process on the outro to “so it goes” is that it’s supposed to sound like you’re ascending into heaven. Hopefully circle’s is next and the rest of Mac is soon to come as well!

Tyler Alten

The man with the 2 foot foot

mwdoom

For the outro to So It Goes Mac had told Jon Brion who worked on Swimming and finished Circles for him after his passing, he said to make it sound like you are ascending into heaven

Blake and Bailey

Thank you so much you guys, this one meant a lot. Can’t wait for The Life of Pablo, I know it’s coming

smokey_vibez

Kevin "I'm not going to cry" - proceeds to attempt to make me cry :/ - Mac's death is/was a tough one :( ❤️

mwdoom

Hey Kevin, ou should check out Larry Lovestein, one of Mac's aliases, on your own time. He's exploring jazzier sounds, you would love it.

Marc-Olivier Rouette

I was wondering whether ye would start with Swimming or if you’d go back to Watching Movies / GOOD:AM for Kevin’s intro to Mac. This was definitely a great call, but I can definitely see ye having a great time listening to GOOD:AM and Divine Feminine as well!

Shems Riza

‘Now I know Mac.’ Damn Kevin, you didn’t have to falcon punch me in the feels like that off the very first track

Shems Riza

This just made my day🥲🥲 I thought about requesting this weeks ago but figured it would never get through. Please do circles at some point too. Love you guys❤️

Ben

Yesssss been wanting Mac for so long. Would love to see it maybe be like a Kanye series where you show him from beginning to end now

Turner Kennington

amazing

Matthew Carlson

tho they're sad i do hope you guys do faces and circles at some point . my two favorites. this was a great introduction to mac for him tho. great content as always :) edit: also j. cole produced hurt feelings. thought that was a fun coincidence . mac has a nardwuar interview as well

linsii

You gotta listen to Discovery - Daft Punk next

Tim Harlow

I feel like this is one of the few albums TPAB influenced production wise. Or maybe that is just thundercat being on both. Both great albums th

neff118

There was hope so he kept swimming, but nobody realized until his passing that he was "swimming" in "circles"

Ariel Deleon

2nd verse of jet fuel really just the hardest shit ever

Dono

What’s the Use - Thundercat’s not on the 4 string. He’s on the 6 string bass 😎😎

Andrew P

Subscribed to Patron just for Mac. Truly beautiful to see some one els appreciate Mac’s talent. The Devine feminine would be Devine for your father .. Godspeed Malcom🤍

Maccfly

I second this. Amazing album but it’s so different they should definitely do other experimental rap like JPEG, Clipping. And Death Grips. Before

RINGER 13

Faces definitely needs to be next.

RINGER 13

Please do because the internet !! we need it

Lachlan Cartwright

Got so excited when I saw you listened to Mac. Love this album, love Mac, love you guys.

Anthony Ugljesa

Thank you guys for releasing this video I can’t wait for Kevin to react to more from Mac’s Discography. As much as I can’t wait to see it but I think GO:OD AM should be last for the journey. Only because I know the reaction to Perfect Circle/Godspeed would be a million times more impactful after fully embracing Mac. Circles and Faces here we come! Woohoo!

icecreambacon

give us watch the throne

Tim

Been wanting to subscribe to the patron for awhile now, keep up the good work fellas !

Andrew Huynh

You guys should make a video reacting to the NPR, watching Mac perform 2009 makes me cry every time! Hope y’all do Take Care or Good Kid, M.A.A.D city next!

Andrew Huynh

was thinking about supporting the patreon when u released the cole video, this put the nail in the coffin

Alec

god it would be super interesting if you guys listened to When I get to Phoenix. It's not a necessary listen but it would be very interesting

carsonrissotbb

For the ending of 'So It Goes', he requested his producer team (or whatever you call it) to make it sound like "The ascension to heaven." Interesting bit.

Jett J

Such a great album and a great artist. You should definitely listen to his early work like KIDS or something to see how much he evolved

Tyson Chase

Love sitting down with a coffee or tea and listening to one of my favorite albums with others. Love the stuff you guys do

Sam Remund

Y’all have to react to macs tiny desk concert KEVIN WOULD LOVE

Olivia Zoldi

precisely

Olivia Zoldi

hi tooru

riley harrington

The consistent stank face from Kevin during Ladders is my reaction every time the beat kicks in

Braden Ghilani

I absolutely love a quote from the policeman who arested Mac for DUI and Hit and Run: “the most polite and nice intoxicated person”

Christian Stoyanov

Absolutely amazing guys thank you. Still can’t believe Kevin only shed one tear during that. 2009 makes me cry every time. I think to give him the lighter side and the early stages to compare his expierience with Mac you guys should listen to blue slide park.

Andrew SCOTT

Waiting patiently for next kanye album😩

Collin Harmon

Would you ever show him Meet the Woo 2? I wonder what he'd think of the drill beats and Pop's voice.

Christian Stoyanov

This was so gooood, thanks! Been seeing 22, a Million in the back for a while now, would REALLY like to see that one soon ✌️Vernon does crazy stuff on that album it's insane

Simon Brissette

also devine fem would be a good idea for valentines day lmao

Thomas Garcia

yesss! need to react to "circles" now

Kristian Kjellevold

also i think it would be best to explore macs more unique albums which also coincidentally are his other more popular ones like faces and divine feminine.

Thomas Garcia

Simple man seen Mac Reaction bought the Patreon lmao

Mitchell Gratto

I hope you guys plan on recording the tiny desk reaction, would love to see it!

Ryan Onofrey

Is this lagging for anyone else or is it just my terrible internet?

Caprio

Amazing. Can't wait for Circles if its otw

S. Paulsen

Thank you guys so much for this.

Bernard Boo

shoutout thundercat on the shaker

Gavin N Willard

10/10 album 10/10 reaction

solin perez

Good stuff. As someone who’s grew up with Mac(I remember downloading his mixtape off gmad) his progresssion of his sound is awesome. He just kept building which is why his death was so tragic.

Branch haver

This reaction was awesome!! You should show him goodbye and good riddance by Juice WRLD

Eli Hirsche

You should defo watch the tiny desk ty dolla tribute to mac too if u havent already

Warren Bradley

That and the Rayland Baxter cover of 2009

Ryan Goheen

Can you show your dad the John Mayer cover of Small Worlds? Its on youtube and its probably my favorite video ever.

Ransom Reed

ngl I screamed like a little girl when I got the notification

Elijah

RIP the legend Mac Miller

Chris

The first song brought me to tears, I remember hearing Macs music after he had passed and that being my favorite song. Watching someone else hear it with fresh ears was a trip.

Chris

wow! I enjoyed this video so much, it did not disappoint. not a day goes by where I don't miss Mac, and seeing Kevins reactions to this amazing record brought tears to my eyes several times. excited to see more reactions to Mac now, it was definitely about time!

Selma Hagen

Long time supporter here, I have been waiting so long for you guys to start Mac. I really appreciate this reaction. "You ain't nothin' 'til you die and come back to life iller They haven't made a mo'fucker realer, Mr. Miller, yeah"

JordanoLee

Loved this so much, I've been waiting every week for mac miller to show up on this channel. Really hope you guys look through some of his other albums, circles, divine feminine and faces in particular

Jackson Gibbons

KEVIN! You have to watch the live performance of Mac in the Npr Channel. Such a lovely video!

Davide

So awesome to see a mac fan introduce someone so close to his music. It's tough to really appreciate and understand this album for everything it is without being witness to Mac's extreme evolution and growth as an artist. Can't wait for you guys do Circles to see your dad's reaction to Good News, and the sounds Mac brought to that piece

Cody Palumbo

XXX the 17 album!!!!!!!!!!!

MilkLessCow

also, the ending synth ending to so it goes is from producer Jon Brion. Mac asked Jon to make what ascending to heaven sounded like. And he totally nailed it.

John Vargas

Also Kevin needs to hear the You ep by Larry Lovestein (I.e Macs jazz persona) quick little 4 track masterpiece

Joseph Morales

dont take my word on that tho^^ because i saw it in a video talking abt the album so i could be BS

Hunter Durfee

Its really cool on "so it goes" i believe mac wanted the end to sound like ascension into heaven which is so beautiful IMO because of hindsight.

Hunter Durfee

I also grew up with Mac. I was going to see him for the first time in December of the year he passed but didn't get to. Rest in peace easy mac with the cheesy raps. Beautiful soul. Thank you guys for this.

Deon Osborne

I want them to do a thundercat record so bad

Tinny

Love love love this album and Mac. Seeing Kevin’s reaction and reminiscing on Mac definitely brought tears to my eyes watching this. Thank you!

Anna Dell'Aquila

For Jay Z, I recommend Magna Carta since that’s closer to Watch the Throne sonically than his earlier 90s/2000s work

CRASH

Ya'll should really do good kid, m.A.A.d city since you listened to tpab

Soggy Socks

One of my favorite albums ever. Thanks for reviewing it!! Wonder how Kevin would react to some Juice WRLD, might be a bit much still. I'm not sure though... I think he might like his dualities of agression/love and rap/singing.

Joshua Sauder

WHAT?!?! Honestly, that's absolutely insane.

Joshua Sauder

I’m so happy I got to watch your dad experience this for the first time! He went through all the emotions and thoughts I had the first time! Mac’s love for his craft oozes out of his work and is infectious to the listener. I love Mac’s discography but something about this album always hits differently. Can’t wait to see what your dad thinks about his other projects!

Lynn

Would love to see ATliens or Aquemini from Outkast!

Austin Yerkes

Should be circles first

Daq

cried listening to come back to earth, great video guys. Thank you for doing this :)

John Vargas

I've been waiting for this moment ever since I found your channel. Was always curious where you were going to start with Mac as his discography has changed so much over time. So excited for more Mac to come

Joshua Gowie

we need mum as cameo for few sec

Kai Fendi

mac!

Shane Anderson

Man this was such a good watch - nothing gets me emotional like swimming/circles mac man. Connor you've gotta tell Kevin about how Mac wanted the end of So It Goes to sound like "the ascension into heaven" - it really makes the end of the album that much better once you know that

Alex Moczarski

Signed up for patreon just to watch this one, I’m so excited for Kevin to experience Mac

Ashlyn

really enjoying your videos lately, but i NEED another kanye reaction

sagdish

He should definitely listen to ‘it is what it is’ from Thundercat because it’s filled with that bass and the same horny energy that silk sonic has imo

MonsterKydd

The Dissect podcast did (is doing) a season on Swimming + Circles, it's been pretty great so far, they've analyzed a lot of stuff on this album I've never noticed before

spod823

An album isn’t great unless it gives Kevin the shivers at least once

Daq

I really recommend you all to listen to Mac’s Spotify-version of Dunno

Sondre Erdal

MORE MAC

Michael Balady

Never forget Fantano gave this album a 3/10 (not holding a grudge or anything)

spod823

This is my first time on the patreon I love your videos

Angel López

FINALLY MAC MILLER!!!

Jon G

Downloaded and subbed for Mac🙏🏼

Joseph Morales

The joy in Kevin listening to What’s the use brought tears to my eyes. Mac was such a beautiful soul. Rip Legend.

Daq

YOOOO LETS GO. This is why I got the patreon! My fav artist.

Daq

Mac is my favourite artist of all time. Met him at his show in Dublin in 2016. He was so drunk, drank so much Jameson haha.

Dion Byrne

Yeah Mac played like 10+ instruments I'm pretty sure. Self taught drums, guitar, piano. Cannot wait until you guys react to Faces and Circles. Your dad definitely going to cry listening to Good News.

Dion Byrne

This is the only song on swimming that got a music video before Mac passed highly recommended watching if you haven’t

Tanner Brown

you should tell your dad that thundercat did alot of bass on tpab, especially wesleys theory.

riley harrington

I been meaning to talk to you about those bare feet man.... 😂

Jon Scanlon

a good mac video is his interview with Larry King!

gabino

CIRCLES NEXT PLEASEEEEEEEE

WnB Productions

Thunderdog has had me in tears all night

Psykopomp

Great reaction. And some well needed comic relief between the tracks when Kevin mentions the natural enemy of Thundercat... Thunderdog 😅

Kevin Vercauteren

Saw the Twitter post on the reaction to this album, never subbed to something faster in my life. (including OF pages)

Alexander

Mac Miller discography is going to be a dope listen. When you do some R&B, Daniel Caesar “Freudian” would be incredible

Andrew Mendez

Love to you all! Peace and happiness from Oklahoma! ❤️🤠

Chad

i cannot wait for his reaction to Circles. Let alone the rest of Mac's discography.

Psykopomp

This was the first full album by Mac that I listened to front to back no skips. By far my favorite album

Jakob Aguilar

Connor I think the glasses look great on you

CRASH

IN

CRASH

great video. he’s gonna love mac as a person. which will make the music even better.

William D. Kilpatrick

One of my favourites ♥️🥺

Ethan Simmons

kevin would love the spotify sessions of 'dunno' and 'nothing from nothing'

Psykopomp

Really miss mac and glad Kevin is able to enjoy him as the rest of us do. Haven't gave this a full listen through in a while and fuck I miss him. Thanks for doing this guys

Buddy Lindsey

thank you so much!!!! this is my favorite album and this hits hard <3 love you guys, -SJS

MilkLessCow

Loved this reaction, Mac was the full embodiment of the word artist. I also think it would be interesting to see Kevins reaction to Tory Lanez’ recent album “Alone at Prom”. It’s his take on an 80s pop album.

Aidan Ross

Thundercat plays and sings on To Pimp a Butterfly! You guys should also listen to Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma, his bass playing on that is insane.

dayvan-cowboy

*tiny desk not kexp

James

wow I was crying at kevin's reaction to 1st track. mac is still moving people !

Haley Kummer

highly recommend watching him perform a few of these songs on his tiny desk set. beautiful stuff

Andrew overmeyer

RIP Mac, what a beautiful soul

Andrew overmeyer

Your dad needs to watch the tiny desk for Miller. The best tiny desk ever

Ben Steger

You should check out Mac’s KEXP performance of some songs from this album. Also a great video breaking down this album and where it fits in mac’s life and discography is Tabby’s The Importance of SWIMMING

James

Diego

Psykopomp
