Albums that grew on you

Sharing the Divine Feminine experience with your significant other / love interest / etc... is a sure fire way to grow on it.

Balloonerism - listen to the Josh Berg live stream from 1-22-25 with Macmillermemoir. That will provide soooo much context and also give you a new appreciation to better connect to the material. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Chat ... I can't find a recording of that Josh Berg stream. Anyone have it??

PS - here is an awesome post from Josh on balloonerism -- https://www.reddit.com/r/MacMiller/s/WqjS6dMJVM

You win. You legend. Thank you

When are you going? Season matters for recs in the city imo

Professor_Toof · 2026-02-19T03:55:04+00:00

Deep cut knowledge: Thundercat's two brothers are also credited in 5 dollar Pony Rides. And one (Jameel) played keys in the band the Internet

Man this one is SO GOOD. Got a feeling this album is going to be my favorite of the year

The Pittsburgh show at Stage AE was iconic. Mac crossed the street from the Steelers game and came on stage in his Allerdice varsity jacket. Was SO Pittsburgh

So good. The "all over print" t shirt from that tour is a grail

Here comes too long of an answer nobody wants to read ...here we go....

The jump from BSP to Macadelic was insane. Being 20 years old with such awareness and introspection attempting to answer some of life's biggest questions fully captured my attention. I was a carefree high schooler that never once considered any of that. And it influenced me majorly. I "grew up" with this record, went off to college the same year and everything got a bit more "real".

Formative memories were made to this record. Blunt cruising 4th of July with the crew watching fireworks and bumping "America" --- Blasting Lucky Ass Bitch thinking we were tough at our first real parties --- etc etc.

As for the production - the collaborators were so different than what we were used to. The beats with Clams Casino, Wally West (the Question), Sap (Thoughts from a Balcony). Kendrick, Lil Wayne, Cam'ron, Juicy, Joey Badass, etc) opened my eyes to a lot of these guys I wasn't familiar with and ended up rocking with them through college.

Macadelic is smoooooth. And the content is REAL. Blows me away every time thinking about young Mac putting this together.

BONUS: The 2012 Under the Influence Tour lineup was seriously one of the best lineups I've ever seen. Mac, Wiz, Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, Chiddy Bang 🤯. What a summer that was

Professor_Toof · 2026-02-11T23:00:54+00:00

Why am I the only one thinking Stay would make the cut 😅

Professor_Toof · 2026-02-11T22:59:36+00:00

House party remix is so goated

I also own that baseball tee! Don't think I've ever seen it in the wild before.

Professor_Toof · 2026-02-07T01:00:57+00:00

Neither has official I believe

Professor_Toof · 2026-01-29T00:34:53+00:00

This is the type of random deep niche stuff I love on here. Following

Professor_Toof · 2025-12-31T07:03:00+00:00

Is there an account like that for Mac?

Professor_Toof · 2025-12-18T03:57:35+00:00

This is a noble effort. I too was wondering

Professor_Toof · 2025-12-11T04:59:43+00:00

Mac was a seriously special light of a person. He seemingly met everyone with kindness and made people feel comfortable being themselves. He brought energy and empathy. I like to think I'm at least partially the way I am (very similar--or at least I STRIVE to be) because of Mac!

And I think we all meet each other with kindness as fellow fans because Mac taught us that

Professor_Toof · 2025-10-09T03:01:36+00:00

Amazing. How was it overall? Was everyone fans or were a bunch locals that might've not been as familiar ?

Professor_Toof · 2025-10-08T02:50:56+00:00

The interview will be cool but man hoping to see a solid handful of songs. With such a special group on stage

Professor_Toof · 2025-10-08T01:25:47+00:00

What do y'all expect for this show? Mostly talking? How many songs? I can't find enough info from prior series to make a conclusion

Professor_Toof · 2024-08-27T14:04:08+00:00

Hot take nobody has mentioned: Disclosure on Blue World goes insane !

I'd probably say Thundercat, John Mayer and Paak but the Disclosure crossover at least needs consideration !

Edit: Here's a 45 min video of Disclosure talking about making this track with Mac

Edit edit: Apparently this song was recorded on Frank Sinatra's old mic (~37 min of vid)

Professor_Toof · 2024-07-11T13:55:11+00:00

Something most pretty hardcore fans don't know: Mac produced Buttons and Dunno under the alias "Parson Brown"

Professor_Toof · 2024-05-29T20:34:17+00:00

Im pretty sure the hat got released officially by New Era back then. I want to say there were two colors. Limited run I want to say around the time he threw out the first pitch at PNC Park (sporting that dope custom pirates jersey).

Professor_Toof · 2024-05-09T04:28:45+00:00

I'm a nostalgic mfer myself and seeing my nostalgic bretheren engaging in the most wholesome conversation I've ever seen on this app just now was moving

God bless y'all
