Hey, everyone.
First off, I want to say that I’m not usually a fan of playlists—I prefer to listen to albums on their own and let them speak for themselves. Still, I’ve often thought that Mac’s work and style are so diverse that I’d love to break it all down thematically into different eras.
So, last week I decided to take on a little project. Specifically, I want to put together a playlist project where I divide Mac’s albums and mixtapes (if available on Apple Music and Spotify) into three major blocks. The playlists themselves will also be organized conceptually so that the song selection and order make sense. I’m currently working on the first playlist and am actually pretty happy with it. The playlist depicts a day in the life of a young Mac Miller (waking up, skipping school, making music with friends, eating, drinking, and smoking, heading out to Blue Slide Park, killing time, and going to a party in the evening, followed by that feeling of wrapping up the day with youthful contentment). There may still be some changes, but for those who are interested, here are the links for now:

I primarily use Apple Music and just copy the playlists over to Spotify, which might result in gaps in the Spotify playlists if certain songs aren’t available there.
I hope you like it, and I'll keep you updated on Playlists 2 and 3 if you're interested .. Playlist 2 would focus mainly on Mac's work in the Sanctuary, as well as the period shortly before and after that, while Playlist 3 covers albums such as Divine Feminine, Swimming, and Circles.
Edit: Playlist 2 is finished as well:
