Mac Miller - Swimming FIRST REACTION/REVIEW 

So sad to hear about his death... This album was amazing. 26 years old. Man. So sad. RIP MAC.

It rained for 3 days here in Pittsburgh when Mac miller died 💔

You be catching every damn bar respect. Nobody catches how clever Mac is. Well done!

Swear to god this is the best and most accurate review of the album.

Lyrics: “I just need a way out, of my head” VibeVilla: “He’s just looking for a way out of his head”

dude on the right is like the human lyric genius

You guys should work for Genius. You guys catch EVERYTHING. RIP Mac

The reason the production is so cohesive to the lyrics and overall vibe is because Mac produced his own music. He was more than just a dope rapper he was a musical genius and was so dedicated to his craft. Much respect to you guys.. got yourselves a new subscriber. I love how you take your time to appreciate each and every track. Real music heads do that. so much respect for that. Rest in Peace Mac Miller, your music lives on 🙏🏾❤

Mac Miller = 🐐

Mac also writes and produces a lot of what you're hearing. He is incredibly talented instrumentally. Edit: RIP Mac

Its so lit that Mac is getting some recognition finally. He progresses every album.

1. Come Back To Earth 1:16 2. Hurt Feelings 2:20 3. What's the Use? 3:46 4. Perfecto 4:30 5. Self Care 5:58 6. Wings 6:35 7. Ladders 8:25 8. Small Worlds 10:35 9. Conversation, Pt. 1 12:01 10. Dunno 13:14 11. Jet Fuel 13:36 12. 2009 15:14 13. So It Goes 16:43

This album is perfect to me.

One of the top youtube channels that do great reactions and reviews, very genuine and you guys actually catch the bars and references in songs whereas other channels easily miss them. Cant wait to see you guys blow up!! MUCH LOVE !

React to either FACES or Macadelic, both classic mixtapes

You guys should react to GO:OD AM from mac! Great album!

yoooo, a "faces" reaction would blow up. i really think you guys should react to that project. it's mac's best.

Ive listened to this Every single day for 6 months. This was some next level shit Mac. Hurting, deeply. R.I.P

J. Cole produced Hurt feelings track

Macadelic has bars...stright bars...watching movies with the sound off...straight bars....mac miller.......stright bars....RIP to the goat, the legend.

Even the track list has meaning. It’s basically the steps you go through after something traumatic or it heartbreaking happens. You gotta snap back into reality “Come back to earth” and you process what happened and your feelings are hurt and you’re sad, “Hurt feelings”. Then you think like “What the use?” Like what’s the point of living after this I’m In so much pain. Then you gotta realize everything is and will be okay and be perfect, “perfecto”. So you gotta take care of yourself to feel better “Self Care” and slowly you start to make your way up and feel better. Hopes are rising “Wings”, “Ladders”. After flying so high and climbing the ladder, you realize that some things don’t matter as much as you thought they did. Things hurt but eventually you realize that we live in such a “small world” in space, some problems aren’t that big. So you talk to yourself and remind yourself that you got yourself and you can only rely on yourself for your success and happiness. And based on the lyrics, “Dunno” is a point where the traumatic event, in this case it’s heartbreak, comes back and tempts you to go back right where you started so you’re lost a don’t really know what to do now. Now you have to find some sort of motivation or power to move on “jet fuel”. So you have to reflect on where you’ve come from and what you’ve been through “2009” and know that you’ve learned from everything but it’s time to move on from it and grow and “So it goes” and you go on and grow.

Mac produces most of his own beats too, which makes him even more of a dope artist in my opinion. Love this project, and enjoyed your reaction.

Hard to believe this was posted a day before he passed. the crazy part is that when you listened to the end of 'so it goes'...you said it sounds like overcoming something....like he 'made it'... When his last tweet was him saying the ending to so it goes is so beautiful, that he asked Jon Brion to play the ascension into heaven, and he nailed it... Aka, this is the sound of Mac letting go of all the earthly pain that plagued him but also catalyzed his amazing music that he gifted us and that lives on forever. To make this even spookier and crazier, look up recordings of his last instagram posts/stories... he said he just wanted to make it to tour, and the final post was 1am the day he died, showing a record playing that last bit of heavenly music on the outro of 'so it goes'....one more thing: the phrase 'so it goes' is something that was used in the Kurt Vonnegut novel 'Slaughterhouse 5' as a transition phrase Everytime someone passed away. Word... Hard to make sense of what level this guy was really on, especially when you go back through his work and find so much foreshadowing....it really seems like he knew. Mac, come back to earth man. We miss you. 💖☯️🌌👨‍🚀🌊♾

Yo y'all read his music perfectly . I wish someone else close to him would have notice so they could have saved before u drowned . You guys are dope. Long Live Mac💔

Good stuff, probably Mac's best project next to Faces.

This Album was fire ... then he past away and now it’s so sad to listen to 💔😔😔😢😢 this was a great video!

Im so happy this was captured before he passed. Thank you guys

Swimming came out one year today. Thank you for this reaction vid boys. RIP EZ Mac with the CheeZ Raps

I just watched this video and the Faces video and I just have to shout y’all out and appreciate you for appreciating Mac for his lyricism. He really was a gift to hip hop. He did so much more than people give him credit for.

Mac Miller crazy yall gotta review Good AM

Bruh how tf you catch every bar in one go?? Mad respect.

Listen to his album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off. So many bars..

This is the best review of an album I’ve ever seen.

I wasn’t a fan of Mac until after his passing. I wish I didn’t ignore his music for so long because he was truly a genius. I can’t imagine that you two were the only people that, after hearing So It Goes, thought he made it. After Swimming, everyone must’ve thought he had made it past the addiction. Which must have made it that much harder. RIP Mac, the world misses you.

You guys gotta do more Mac Miller. Watching Movies With The Sound Off is a fantastic album and probably his best

Y’all understood this perfectly & before he died.

I'm from Pittsburgh..pa where mac Miller is from. I'm buying this album . my eyes have been open. He got skillz.

Swimming is an album that is like the combination of The Divine Feminine and Faces. You can hear the similarities between all 3 of these projects from Mac Miller. It's fucking amazing.

Finally someone who reviews Mac Miller’s project and understands the bars. Too many people look past it. Flies right over their heads

Wow so happy u guys did this reaction to swimming, I really liked the Ta13oo reaction, hope u guys get big.

Cant wait till ya react to Mac Miller’s Circles album 🙇🏽‍♀️

Yall did a great job pulling apart the lyrics on this one. I've listened to this album 5 or 6 times through, and you showed us some things I didn't see. "Kickball" damn

The reason his voice compliments the beat and vise versa is because he produces his own stuff. He plays many different instruments.

Please go back and listen to GO:OD AM, Watching Movies With the Sound Off, and Faces! These 3 projects are great you need to react to them.

U guys got my like before pressing play, God bless ya

Almost a year after this album came out and after listening to this almost everyday since it came out my top 5 is 1. So it Goes 2. Small Worlds 3. Perfecto 4. 2009 5. Self Care/Hurt Feelings

Nice one guys! Its sick to see boys who aint follow Mac listening for the first time and actually getting what its about. Fair play for breaking down the lyrics that much after one listen though, its class watching people who actually GET IT. New subscriber 100%

Wow I’ve listened to this album so much since it came out and never really noticed that progressive swimming scheme with the songs

You guys knew it back then... This man is so greatly missed. Beautiful soul beautiful man will be so missed

You talk about the production at some point....Mac was the executive producer on this album! As well as producing a lot of the songs. He's also an accomplished musician...playing piano, guitar, bass, etc. Truly genius level in my opinion!

Boi mad respect to these guys for catching all the bars in this album 🙌🏽

I feel like Cudi would have complimented a few tracks on here great.. a lot of the vibes on this album are really Cudi like. You feel the emotion. It’s dope

Feelin the VIIIBE

16:00 "hes dope bro" Thank You for a honest reaction. Great video. Amazing album, no words can come close to describing the person Mac Miller was and the music he brought and left for us. I love how open you both were about the things he said and the way he chose to deliver it. His music reaches my soul. His passing brings tears to my eyes every time I think about him. Like I knew him so well. RIP Mac Miller. Much love and appreciation for all you were while on earth.

Bout time for yall to blow up keep pushin!! His tiny desk performance was lit too

So sad that he's gone.. Legends never die though. R.i.p Mac

New fan from the Astroworld video, you guys catch lyrics that even I don't catch! Love these videos, keep it up!

Best reaction to this album yet, you guys were catching everything.

That's what makes it so hard to get over his death. You listen to the lyrics in the songs about the struggles he is going through and you find yourself rooting for him and like they said, the music in the last song seemed so hopeful at the end and it made it seem like he made it......then we lost him. So sad

Fav songs off this album 1.wings 2.hurt feelings 3.self care 4.come back to earth Rip Mac

If u like this album, y’all will definitely like his last album “the Divine Feminine”

Randomly found this review upon going BACK to Mac’s fuckin tiny desk performance and im really happy i did. Your guys’ reaction to the album is discovering new things on the lyrics i didnt really catch and ive been listening to it on and off this whole last week. The off part of that is listening to Mac’s other albums. This dude is gone way too soon. It breaks my heart the world has to continue without this genius. He was about to explode because of this album.

Mac is the greatest hope you guys check out his older albums

Such a fire reaction and so real. I'm so glad you guys have found Mac its like finding a diamond in the rough. He was overlooked and one of the dopest of the last 20 years. I've been rocking since his first mixtape and he evolved so much. RIP Mac the Most Dope. Thanks guys for keeping his sound and vibe alive much love!!!

i support yall so much

Swimming is a Masterpiece Album!

Came back to this album review because you guys had the most accurate response to his album

I keep coming back to this vid for good vibes when I’m feeling down. I love hearing these guys hear him for the first time. Rest In Peace Mac Miller. You are very much missed

This album had quickly moved into my top favorite. I can listen to it from start to finish. I miss Mac :(

We need more Mac! IMO the way he evolved over the years is more amazing than any other rapper. Please give it a shot. He's not defined by his easier stuff as fun as it was.

the way you guys worded that description “reunites with his first love.. music” that’s dope and that deserves some recognition n appreciation!!

Definitely go back and react/review more Mac! 'Faces', 'The Divine Feminine', 'Watching Movies With The Sound Off' etc etc. Keep it up guys!

I really hope we get conversation pt. 2 and more work from Mac. Man I’ve never felt so deeply about a loss of someone that I’ve never met.

His Faces mixtape will make you think so much about every line and will make you appreciate how much he’s done, that review video will definitely be over an hr long. Great review and you guys deserve to blow up. Got a new sub.

I LOVE you guys. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I have cried everyday since his passing. Mac Miller saved my fucking life so many times. I started listening to Mac when I was 15. I’m 22 now. Teenage years are hard, all the nights I locked myself in my room and cried, thinking of killing myself, I ended up putting my headphones in and listening to Mac until I fell asleep. So many times. I owed him so much. When I found out he died it felt as if I lost my best friend. So so strange. Swimming is such a beautiful project and seeing other people with unbiased opinions appreciating it hits so different. Thank y’all for giving him a chance. Much love.

Good ass reaction fellas. Props for breaking down the verses. Mac miller wordplay through the project is on point. Best i’ve heard from him rapping wise. I agree a few features would’ve boosted my energy a bit.

It’s actually dope that you’re both new on his music and get to experience all of it from the start and that you actually appreciate and take time to analyze the music and the lyrics ... I’m subscribing forsure.. but Man you guys gotta go through his albums from Macadelic , to WMWTSO , Devine feminine, GO:OD AM , all his mixtapes in between , he’s got a jazz mixtape under his alter ego name Larry lovestein it’s fire... should do one on Macadelic that came out in 2012 I believe on DATPIFF they also got a new version on Apple tho I believe !

production is beautifully minimalistic and same with his delivery

Y'all pointed out bars I didn't even catch after listening over and over 😋👌👌

Come back to this video & the Circles first listen at least once a year, love the way you guys interpret the lyrics. Big love!

Came for the "What's the use" reaction🔥🔥. #RipMacadellic

MY DUDES LISTEN TO FACES IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND.

Thank you for respectfully reviewing this album and breaking down his vibe

16:02 is easily the best part of this video. When homie realizes that Mac goes in

I love seeing y’all react to this. He was my favorite artist and to see y’all catch every guy good ass line. Yess.

I've watched this so many times ...these guys nailed it

Unreal job of deconstructing the songs!! I’ve listened to the album over 20/30 times and I’ve never picked up on some stuff that you’s caught, class content!

The only artist i will never get over...r.i.p mac and splendid review!

macs last 3 projects have all been heat me for. good am = rapping with some soul but mostly rapping the devine feminine = funky n for sexy time swimming = a movie for your ears

the best reaction/review vid on an album ive seen so far

i listened to mac’s album as a whole after i watched all of your reaction videos 🙏🏻

I’m watching this now cause I miss him, but that last line in perfecto is literally what this whole project and the idea of swimming is about. “More important is I'm kinda sorta out the door but she put me back together when I'm out of order. Perfect.” He’s close to beating his addiction and it’s hard, but substances is the only thing that makes him feel in order. Perfect, cause the high is good and normal to him, but also perfect in like a sarcastic way. Ughh I miss this man. Rip Easy Mac.

PLEASE REACT TO FACES. IT'S WHERE HE'S AT HIS MOST DOWN AND DEPRESSED. BUT THE CONTENT IS SO GOOD. RIP MAC LOVE YOU FOREVER.

When he said his eyes were on the enterprise, I felt like he meant "inner prize" which kind of goes with the idea you guys had of him finally swimming to shore at the end of album. If that's what he really meant, then that's a crazy fucking bar!

You guys didnt miss a beat when discussing this beautiful.and amazing piece.of art from such a under rated and talented artist . Mac Miller.was so special

Yo bros, you've gotta listen to The Sun's Tirade - Isaiah Rashad

Ya'll better do The Waters by Mick Jenkins 🔥🔥

This is the best review of this album. This will go down as one of the most underrated albums that won't ever go mainstream.

Bruh y’all breaking this down made me a subscriber straight up. Pinpoint breakdowns truly understanding the bars. Mac goes over a lot of ppls heads

I've been watching all the reactions to this album that I could find. And I have to say that yours is by far my favorite one. You didn't know anything about Mac Miller, yet caught most of the schemes and bars. On top of that you nailed the whole concept of trying to swim to shore and in the end making it happen. With the redemption, the violin at the end of "So it goes". I like coming back to this video and rewatching it over and over, you guys get it. And the fact that Mac reached some sort of enlightenment at the end, makes me feel better about his passing. So thank YOU and thank Mac Miller. Much Love, VibeVilla!
