Shit he did it in almost half a decade. There’s only 6 years between the release of KIDS and some of the songs that were written for swimming. Only 5 years between BSP and swimming and even less time than that between those projects and the divine feminine. Absolutely insane
Living In Pittsburgh, you can bet you’re gonna hear “the spins” at least once in a night at any bar and without fail it will light the place on fire. RIP Mac ❤
@@NoxBruh i appreciate it definitely nervous considering i turn 18 at the end of the month n prolly be living with my older sister and really being independent from parents and home but nothing stops time
@@nicksick_ You've got plenty of time to figure things out for yourself. I mean shit I'm 22 and I'm still figuring things out for myself. I know people older than me still that haven't yet. Learn to appreciate independence! It'll be nice making decisions for yourself. Plus, you'll have your sister as a support system to help you. Besides, your parents are always there! Go visit often, and call your mom. She'll miss you!
YESSSSSSS. My mom got to know Mac through swimming and circles, to have her text me on her own one day the link to The Spins saying “you can hear how happy he is, I see why you feel in love with him at 14” is pretty cool. Macs music transcends age, he’s a certified classic forever
This mixtape really is just so fun and innocent from a guy who nobody knew was going to be so layered, complex, and engulfed with the culture. Really was one of a kind soul 🙏🏼 happy anniversary Swimming album
A timepiece of music, after graduating I was listening to this album every night on the way home from work. RIP to one of my favorite musicians of all time. The spins is so nostalgic
This album really did something incredible. It was so upbeat and youthful, but it didn’t fall into the corny trap. 10/10 with extra nostalgia points. This and best day ever are just phenomenal projects.
In just 3 years he went from the happy stoner/high schooler sound of K.I.D.S. to being dark and introspective on Watching Movies With the Sound Off. Such an intense contrast between the sounds and he only kept changing and evolving. Incredible artist
Man I wish I could hear this album for the first time again, this is just one of those projects that has such a profound impact on everybody who listened to it no matter what stage of life they happened to be at
I have such a soft spot in my heart for this album exhaust the Flyers used to use Knock Knock as their victory song…it takes me back to SUCH a specific place and time in my life. Music is crazy like that.
“Good evening” was my first introduction to Mac Miller. One of my closest friends, her brother was bumping that shit in his mustang when he drove us home from school. I vividly remember the sub & bass slapping my back the whole ride home, lol. It was my Sophomore year in high school when this mixtape dropped and I was an instant fan. R.I.P Mac Miller.
Just watching the relationship you guys have and how Kevin is impacted by the music makes this one of the best reaction channels on RU-vid if not the best of my opinion. Hell, it is the best.
Been a Mac fan since High Life dropped… so awesome to see his progression as an artist. I was in jail when he passed and it was awful hearing that during a visit, but it was great to see the outpouring of love from his fans. He touched so many people, man… A big part of me feels like there’s a significant difference between Mac fans who’ve been here from the start, and fans who came in for the change in Swimming, but either way I’m just glad his music has created a community that fosters love and caring for others. RIP Mac. One of my biggest regrets is not being able to see you perform live. Space Migration tour or Macadelic tour would’ve been insane
Mac and I were both the same age and I always felt connected to him after hearing this project. I used to drive through the city at night with the windows down after recently graduating from high school and it was such a great vibe! This brings so many memories. So happy this was part of the soundtrack of my life during that time period.
My favorite artist.. I absolutely loved watching his growth over time. From rapping about life as a care free, happy high schooler, to branching out to singing & writing about his struggles, pain, & love. RIP Mac - thumbs up!
You and your dad reacting to this album means so much to me. When I saw this on my recommended, I choked up on my tears by how excited I was to finally see this. Graduating high school last year in 2022, this was the soundtrack to my senior year almost 24/7. When you were talking about riding across town to get burritos, it took me back to when we used to stop by the gas station (the only store of any kind in town) to get energy drinks after school and go chill at someone’s house. Moving to a new school, it changed my perception on meeting new people and to open up more. I met my best friends in high school through both of us liking Mac Miller. Unfortunately, I’ve lost touch with those people, but this album will always be a time capsule to look back at those fun times. Love y’all, hope to collab with y’all one day❤️
I remember first hearing this at the back of a minibus on a school trip through a really really terrible portable speaker, a timeless piece of music for lots of us growing up- glad your dad enjoyed!
I got the pleasure of seeing him live a couple times. The first time was in December of 2011 at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. This was his for his Blue Slide Park tour, he did play a few of his songs from K.I.D.S. mainly the hits: The Spins, Nikes on My Feet, Good Evening and (my favorite) Senior Skip Day… miss him ❤❤❤
I was not expecting this! This is my favourite Mac project. By itself it is a feel good, coming of age album. After his passing, the optimistic, youthful energy is almost melancholic in a way. It probably is not perfect, but I think it is a stable of so many peoples adolescence, and definitely a classic.
Every re-listen brings me to tears for a few different reasons. I love this album to death and i appreciate getting to re-live my first listen through yall
Played this album every road trip my friends and I took our senior year of high school, such a sick throwback to the good times back then. Appreciate you and your dad checking this out!!!
this album i listened to this year and i had a blast with it! Honestly one of the more fun records ive heard. A real 10 out of 10 for me and just gets me moving
Man I still remember when a few buddies of mine played “Knock Knock” for me for the first time on the way to a baseball game in middle school.. and I instantly knew there was something special about Mac. Maturing with him and his sound through my life will forever be cherished by me and my high school buddies.
I just realized I've been watching you guys a little over a year now, I came across your guys channel in a tweet and decided to check you guys out and its literally one of the best decisions I've ever made I love your guys' channel so much its ridiculous. thank you for blessing us with these videos we appreciate you guys so much!
I LOVE this so much ❤ Mac inspired me during a pretty tough time and reminded me that no matter where life takes me you’ll find me with a smile. Wish you would have done the deluxe edition of K.I.D.S! Ayye is one of my fav Mac songs of all times!
I absolutely love and appreciate this vid. Mac’s discography was essentially the soundtrack to my teenage yrs thru my mid twenties and I think this mixtape is so important while so youthful. It’s a reminder to enjoy life because you never know when your time is up. Just watching you show your dad this project and seeing his reactions throughout is so wonderful, I lost my father a few years back but I relate to the relationship you guys have and how special it is. Thank you both so so much. Most dope forever ✌️
I’m one of the fans who goes to Blue Slide Park every year to celebrate Mac and I adore these reactions. Thank you guys for helping keep Mac’s art alive. 💙
The connection happening here between Kevin and Mac, and in turn with you is fuckin incredible. This album means alot to me as i'm sure it does to most. Tied to a time I was doing hooligan shit in middle/high school; but also shows Mac's starting point which is so wild. Hell yeah
It’s hard to explain that this was literally the sound of a huge number of peoples high school and college years. You can’t capture it in words that every party at that time was playing mac miller at some point in the night.
I’m 31 now and remember listening to this for the first time as an 18 yr old uni freshman.. Life was so much different back then. Damn I miss those days. Some of my best memories and Macs music will forever time stamp those days for me. Rip Mac ❤
I've watched every video of Kevin experiencing Mac and his joy is everything... like... I can't experience what he is again, so to watch him go thru it is something really special. RIP Mac
Man K.I.D.S is how I got introduced to MAC and till this day I still play it over and over. On another note just recently been introduced to you guys channel and man it’s so refreshing listening to these iconic albums over again with you guys been binge watching you guys since this week keep ‘em coming 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
You put this out on the 5th anniversary of Swimming. IDK if you guys knew that but that is a pretty cool nod from the gods if you did not. Love the channel, great video as always.
So happy that I got to grow up listening to this mixtape on repeat and going back to it brings me so many memories with heaps of joy. It's a damn shame traffic in the sky wasn't on the deluxe version of K.I.D.S... absolutely love that song
