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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
