Mac Miller: 60 Days Sober And Spreading The Love
Mac Miller

Mac Miller, American rapper at age 24, recently added a 4th album to his collection, “The Divine Feminine,” released on September 16, 2016, and it's giving the industry a well-needed dose of love. Appearing on Power 106 in Los Angeles on the 15th, he talked about the album, his love life, and the creative process and how it has differed from his other work. After a show in London, Mac came to understand the lack of female presence at his shows and decided to start working on a new project. The masterpiece, “The Divine Feminine,” features Kendrick Lamar, Cee-Lo Green, Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson. Paak, Njomza, and Bilal. The album includes his grandmother’s story of her and her husband’s love and marriage and a central message of the realest thing humans have, love.

While talking on Power 106, Mac talked about how the album is him taking a risk, putting out songs that he has only done in private before. Understanding forthcoming hate on the album for its more meaningful substance, Mac explained what he wanted his fans to get out of it. “I think I want them to appreciate love, in all forms of the word love, like how complex and important a feeling like that is in the world”. He started to create "The Divine Feminine" after a London show for his last album, “GO:OD AM”, after seeing how many more males were present then females. Mac said on the air, “I want to speak to everyone, I haven’t been talking about love”. That he has accomplished in "The Divine Feminine." The album takes the listener on a journey through meaningful lyrics, a piece of Mac’s personal love life, and an opening and closing audio of his grandmother telling the listener about her and her husband’s love affair, and how wonderful it is to understand love, and be in it.

Taking his mindset, and letting the work come through him naturally, unlike his last album approaches, Mac has succeeded with his masterpiece, sending us a message we need to absorb. Posting on Instagram on the 20th, of a positive reaction video to his work, he captioned it “listen to the album. Have an experience”. Everyone could use a sit down and listen through of “The Divine Feminine,” and give his message a chance. We all need more love in our every day anyways.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
