Summary

Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we pay tribute to our friend Malcolm McCormick AKA Mac Miller, who tragically passed away last week at the far-far-far too young age of 26. Mac was a beautiful human being whose art, whose kindness and whose fine nature brought light and love to this world. We were lucky enough to be friends with Mac for most of our career and each of our collaborations were filled with joy and humor and smarts and something special to the three of us. Outside of the business, we had true love for one another, and like so many people this week, we're heartbroken. Please enjoy the words and wisdom and wonder of the legend Mac Miller from our 2015 episode, recorded in Brooklyn. Long live Malcolm McCormick. Hosted on Acast.
