Knock Knock is a song about showing up all the people who said he wouldn't make money. some quotes being (People amazed i was still in high school but now im out what im bout Trying to get so much money i cant keep count) this quote is what shows me that this song is about his resilience and growing up.

The Spins is by far my favorite Mac Miller song. As I'm a senior in high school and a being a person highly influenced by the internet. One of the biggest trends I saw last year was people dancing to the spins when they graduate high school. In the song The Spins there's a Lyric ( Oh yeah I just graduated high school). It's a silly trend but the thought of being able to celebrate with my sister who is also graduating in June to this song makes me hope. Mac was a person who came from the bottom up and I've struggled through most of my life. I find resilience is the most powerful and impact.

Mac was a beloved figure in Pittsburgh making a giant impact in the community. Mac was Pittsburghs pride their resilience. After Macs death Pittsburgh community created an event called colors and shapes dedicated to Mac Miller.

Colors and Shapes is an event where their are live artists,activism and food celebrating Mac. A portion of the proceeds from all sides the artists raffles food and venue go to a charity. The Mac Miller charity is a charity to help undeserved youth in Pittsburgh. To them Mac is and will always be a sign to follow ones dream. #Pittsburgh #Mac #Colors&Shapes #MacMillerFund #FrickParkMarket #Loved

As Mac grew as an artist so did his sense of still moving from Street wear to more high-class fashion. wearing more expensive clothes and jewelry. Along with more designer shoes

Towards the end of Macs life he wore a lot of retro inspired outfits with layers and jackets. Wearing lots of bold patterns and designs. Mixing up different patterns and textures like denim and a pattered shirt. Mac had a partnership with Neff head-wear . creating beanies hats and clothing with some of his quotes like "most dope" a lot of his clothing as adorned with funky patterns. #Mac #patterns #Beanie #Mostdope #neff #retro

Another one of Macs favorite albums was princes 1987 controversy album. He was quoted saying " prince is my idol that's who I aspire to be like". Prince invited Mac to one of his shows knowing that Mac was a huge fan. Sadly Mac couldn't attend because he was shooting a video still excited Abt that chance.

Mac wasn't just inspired by older artists which there is a long list off like wu tang kanye and schoolboy Q. Mac was inspired by artists of is own era as well as he went on to collaborate with the weekend and Ariana grande. Eventually creating the song Cinderella about her. some people suspect that his album the divine feminine is about ari as well. as well as Wiz Khalifa who he attended high school with. #arianagrande #Macmiller #WizKhalifa #prince #inspiration

Congratulations Is a song about mans true divine love for women. In this song Mac sings about romance and loving women as if they are on a divine level. Showing his respect for the women in his life and past.

Cinderella is a song on The Divine feminine that was made about fellow artist Ariana Grande. Ariana was Mac Millers partner for awhile breaking up wit him only a short time before he overdosed. Cinderella is about his love and intimacy with Ariana. A quote from cinderella that i love most is "Ooh Cinderella don't you run out of time It feels like you've been taking all day Wherever you came from, wherever you going
I promise I'm not far behind"

this Album all around is full of amazing melodies and the impact it created was large helping break down barriers between love spirituality and sex. #macmiller #thedivinefeminine #arianagrande #congraulations #Harmony
