I listened to Troublesome 96 by Pac on repeat for like 2 hours a few weeks ago, idk who tf I was feeling like.
Mac Miller was my favorite artist when he passed and for some reason I still can’t bring myself to listen to Swimming, Circles, or Balloonerism. I remember listening to Swimming about halfway through when it dropped and I was like “nah I’m not in the space for this right now” and then a month later he passed. I run GoodAM and Faces into the ground tho.
Pop Smoke finally clicked for me right before he died too. I haven’t listened to him in a long ass time now though, but since I saw some people bring him up I gotta give it some spins.
