Ugh fucking crushed

R I P, he was very skilled.

rip he was... uh

rip

Hard drugs are awful but most the time addictions are not a choice

It's tragic to see a fellow human gone, especially before they are able to reach their full potential

Rip

^ It's a choice to start doing drugs.

"It's a choice to start doing drugs."

and that's a tragedy in itself so be sad about it.

No, but they do it knowing the consequences.

What Casavir said

bro that's just not tru lol @casavir

"but they do it knowing the consequences."

and that's a tragedy in itself so be sad about it. [2]

I find little to be sympathetic towards that tbh

get off your moral high horses lol

@ ratmeat [2] fucking [2] hardddd

Yeah, because the only kind of real shit you can go through is actually being an addict. There's no other way to have a perspective on this other than that, clearly.

I sense another nuke-worthy thread in the making

Honestly just fucking cut the disrespectful bullshit is it really necessary

People with mental illness are often times predisposed to abuse drugs, or sometimes it runs in the family, a lot of times these people have broken homes and struggle.

Is mental illness a choice too?

Too young man. R.I.P.

R.I.P. Mac one of the select modern rappers who i thought was extremely talented you will be missed!

rip.

how hard is it to think "huh that sucks" when someone dies? just stop

"bro that's just not tru lol @casavir"

Yes, it is. I find it hard to believe that most addicts have no idea how most narcotics end up affecting them in the long-term, especially with the number of well-known individuals in the music industry who have ended up dead from an overdose.

Here come all the uninformed opinions about addiction being a choice

can't wait to read the comm......I have aids now.

R.I.P. Very talented and underrated artist. I will miss Mac a lot

How about this: It's partially a choice to do drugs. Ultimately you're the one who makes the decision, but there are certainly factors outside of your control that make you more or less likely to make that decision. Shit isn't just black and white.

A good man, honestly. He didn't have any major controversy. His recent output has been alright. He never had any huge lulls in most of his discography, and he seemed like a pretty decent person.

A lot of the recent high-profile musician deaths have been from people who had tarnished their legacy with some bad albums later on, were widely criticized by the music industry, or they just didn't seem like a good person. Miller, he didn't really fall into any of those categories. Although I never got into him, this hit me a little closer than most musician deaths do. Hard R.I.P from me.

"the choice to do drugs is yes, a choice. addiction to such drugs, is not."

Yeah, exactly. The choice to consume drugs knowing full well what will happen afterwards and how difficult it is to rid yourself of it is a generally foolhardy decision.

The thing you seem to be missing Cas is that those people are in a dark place and don't give a shit about the consequences.

What if you’re prescribed them from a doctor and get hooked?

No.....

people aren't 100% aware of the long-term consecuenses of drug abuse most of the time--
most are vaguely aware that that shit isn't good, they know about the posibility of addiction, but knowledge about all the problems that come along with hard drug abuse isn't somethin people most vulnerable to it have.

that's just sad, but it's tru.

Rat out your local opiate dealer

Yeah, why on earth would you call cops on drug dealers? What a ludicrous idea.

kids like me needed artists like Mac miller, that’s something older cleaner folks may not understand

Hard fucking rip

Self righteous judgemental old coots are the worst

Like zakawewe

way too young, loved his music, RIP

P.S. that's the only comment anyone should be leaving in this thread.

Is it wrong to call cops on drug dealers? Huh.
RIP.

the vast majority of people who experiment with drugs do so in their teens. teenagers have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex -- meaning higher impulse, less ratiocinating more emotional / insecurity driven behavior. also no one could possible ever presage the abject horror that is addiction before trying a drug to which they were unwittingly predisposed. don't be mad that u were an angry little recluse as a teen casavir and no one ever offered you drugs u fckin dweeb

damn

It's never as black and white as the lames on sputnik try to make it

"don't be mad that u were an angry little recluse as a teen casavir and no one ever offered you drugs u fckin dweeb"

Well, I have been offered drugs before and I turned them down. Which is always the right choice.

Not to mention that every person who did offer them certainly looked like they were taking them which didn't really help persuade me.

Drugs are neat
And you can buy them relatively cheap
And when you do them people think that you're cool
And when you do them people think that you're cool

If you donMt feel bad for people with addictions because doing drugs is a choice you also can’t feel bad for any alcoholic. It’s the same fucking shit and people who don’t understand that can’t see past their own damn privilege. The criminalization of drugs is the worst fucking thing to happen to America and it’s one of, if not THE, main reasons America/American capitalism is going to crash and burn.

But for real, hard RIP. He deserved had a lot ahead of him even still.

(Also fuck all the people (not in this thread) blaming Ariana Grande for his death bc “if she had just stayed with him he wouldn’t have done this.”)

"(Also fuck all the people (not in this thread) blaming Ariana Grande for his death bc “if she had just stayed with him he wouldn’t have done this.”)"

lol rly?

RIP

If only America has a better system against drug abuse instead of treating it as a crime.

"(Also fuck all the people (not in this thread) blaming Ariana Grande for his death bc “if she had just stayed with him he wouldn’t have done this.”)"

Can't believe people actually say stuff like this but I'm also not surprised >.>

"Can't believe people actually say stuff like this but I'm also not surprised"
It's hard to get surprised nowadays.

floored

R.I.P, will prob check the new album tommorow

a couple of months ago, ariana had to post a picture on her twitter explaining to people blaming her that while she loved mac miller and wished him the best, she can't be made responsible for turning his life straight, and that it was very emotionally exhausting being with him

Didn't she announce she was engaged to another dude like weeks after her and Mac broke it off?

damn, she moved on?

damn

Congrats everyone in this thread you successfully made a tragic death of a young person with so much unfulfilled potential about your insecurities 10/10

Yeah for real this site has actually been uhhhh like 1882727292928289220X worse than usual lately

are u new users?

Don't do drugs people. Just don't.
R.I.P.

This is sad.

RIP Malcolm

Most of the time, people who are addicts are doing it to fill some void in themselves that's been missing. Can't say I've heard a lot of Mac, but my housemate raves about him. 26 is way too fucking young. RIP.

Fuck, never really listened to this dude all that much but the amount of artists dying young these days is tragic.

Tragic. Dug this guy’s music a lot back in the day. Fuck drugs man... RIP.

RIP. Fucking addiction sucks, man.


If you think having an addiction is an excuse to shun responsibility for actions, you're wrong.

But if you think addiction is entirely a choice, you're just as wrong. Most people are predisposed to it through genetics. A lot of drug addicts and alcoholics also have mental and behavioral health issues, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, borderline personality disorder, etc etc. It's not as simple as labeling an addict an idiot because they knew the consequences from the start. There are plenty of people on this planet who used a drug at a young age and did not get addicted. There are also a good amount of people that are high functioning members of society that use recreationally just fine. It usually starts off with the "lighter" drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy, pills, etc etc and sooner or later the brain tells that person it's not enough. Addiction is a fucking disease of the mind. It's been scientifically proven. I have not met one addict or alcoholic who grew up wanting to be a junkie or a drunk, so get off of your high horses and have some fuckinf empathy.

zak's comment disappeared fast lol

I hadn't heard a Mac record until Swimming came out but this got to me today for some reason. R.I.P. hard Mr. Miller

damn, i used to love this guy, 'Best Day Ever' still brings a lot of great summer memories. sucks hard.
rest in peace dude.

That was him? Thought it was Stephen Hillenburg

Listened to a lot of him growing up, big RIP

Never listened to him but, shit, he didn't deserve this.
RIP

Never listened to him until last night because my friend was really upset about it but Swimming is actually pretty good. RIP

RIP hard tbh

RIP Mac.

Fucking tragedy, this sucks.

RIP hard.

"they do it knowing the consequences"

nope. they get lied to in school with over-exaggerations, or the shit gets hyped to them as a good lifestyle by addicts who are high at the time (or some are in denial about the negative aspects. I've known kids that died who acted like they didn't have a problem). also, they start drugs because they feel broken within to begin with.

Y'all need to not say shit if you don't have anything decent to say. This is someone's life you're talking about and of course you gotta come in with the "don't do drugs and u won't get addicted" shit. Yea, fucking obviously, but it's never so black and white.

If you think not doing drugs somehow makes you superior to those who choose to take drugs, you'd better check yourself. Your moral high horses read more as a disgusting lack of empathy and compassion for other human beings.
"Someone died way too young, but fuck them, they did drugs so I don't feel bad for them" --- that's what that sentiment sounds like to me.

RIP hard. Never been a huge fan of his stuff but I think I'm gonna go back and check out some of his material I never got around to hearing.

Whoa bunch of disrespectful shallow people around here. Cut the crap we lost a man who had a promising future.

"Whoa bunch of disrespectful shallow people around here. Cut the crap we lost a man who had a promising future."

Pretty much, we're on this site supposedly because we enjoy music and want to talk about it, not to fucking try to make an argument about everything to show off who's got the biggest dick. This place is embarrasing sometimes.

RIP, feels weird because I only listened to him after this album came out, then he dies. Loving the album, such a bummer given where he was at and heading.

People are pushed to drugs for various reasons. To just put it simply that drugs are bad and since he chose to do them, he doesn't deserve sympathy is ridiculously shortsighted and borderline retarded.

rip. i'm sorry you couldn't get out of the addiction cycle. i hope you can rest now.

Frat boy rapper? I’m guessing you haven’t listened to anything after Blue Slide Park lmao foh

Man, this shit has got me down. I remember disliking his music in the Blue Slide Park days, but he evolved so much as an artist. GO:OD AM is one of my personal fave rap albums of this decade. His presence will sorely be missed. RIP.

this hurts, RIP mac

rip, buddy.

Will be blasting your last album for a long time, cause its fire.

RIP, always sad to see someone young die.

I never listened to even 1 song by this guy, but where is a good place to start because it looks like his discography is all over the place from awful to great.

@DeadGuy I’d start with Watching Movies. Either the track or the album, depending on how much you’re looking to check.

"Congrats everyone in this thread you successfully made a tragic death of a young person with so much unfulfilled potential about your insecurities 10/10"

[2]

Honestly if you have never felt so low and hit rock bottom where you don't care what happens to you and you just want to escape everything that is around you and you feel like giving up on everyone because you feel like everyone gave up on you, then you might not understand why people get addicted to drugs.

"another frat boy rapper dies."

Not gonna lie, that is pretty inaccurate and disrespectful.

Also jw what other fray boy rapper has died?

His last album is absolutely marvelous. Start there.

Favorite Tracks: Hurt Feelings, What's The Use?, Ladders

Who cares what his status or image was? He was a public figure promoting positivity and trying to find happiness, who lost out. Or who knows, maybe his life was awesome and he just accidentally ended it. I try to look at it from all angles. But obviously RIP since the poor dude is dead and all that.

"another frat boy rapper dies."


???????????????????????
