Under fredagskvällen kom nyheten att rapparen Mac Miller tragiskt gått bort, endast 26 år gammal. Orsaken sägs enligt vissa källor vara en överdos. Innan sommaren gjorde han ett uppbrott med flickvännen Ariana Grande, där bland annat missbruk sägs ha varit ett problem i förhållandet, men ska enligt vänner ha mått bra innan dödsbeskedet. Malcolm McCormick föddes i Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1992 och kom att bli en talangfull och hyllad rappare med låtar som “Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza”, “Donald Trump” och “100 Grandkids”. Hans senaste album “Swimming” släpptes för bara en månad sedan.

Nyheten har mötts av stor sorg inom hiphopvärlden, där mängder av kollegor och vänner visat sin sorg och uppskattning. Se några av reaktionerna nedan.

Completely devastated and heart broken I’m at a loss for words mac you were like a brother to me and were there for me in the hardest of times, especially this summer. I can’t believe this is real. Please tell your friends and the people you care about you love them life is so fucking fragile. You will be missed and your music will live on forever through the millions of people you touched. Thank you for all you gave us, love you bro

I love you. I always will. You were a light. A gift. A friend. One of the biggest hearts I knew and regardless of your struggles, always kept a smile on your face. You loved your family. Your friends. And this culture whole heartedly. We were blessed to be on the receiving end of your gifts. You were the first of my peers to support me and took me on my first tour ever. My story isn’t the same without you in it. This hurts. Heavy. It ain’t 2009 no mo’….but today, today….I wish it was. Praying for your family. For TreeJay. For Clockwork. For Jimmy. For Q. You will forever be my most dope homie. ?? love you forever, MAC. ?

Rest in Paradise. You embraced me before I was I was signed. You brought a Belt I made back in the days and linked me with “Daily breads “ to do a collab with your friends brand. I hope you felt no pain in your transition! Love always. Very sad news

I'm so hurt right now…You we're my guy. I remember how excited you got when I told you that I was a fan… Young guy with an old soul…I'll never forget the day that we recorded this song and the conversation we had. You told me that my generation cares too much about selling music. That conversation literally changed everything for me and made me understand that you will never stop learning. Thank you my brother… I'm really going to miss you! ??? Rest in Peace! #RIPMAC

Sigh. I remember you pulled up to my studio in 2010 in an old Volvo packed to the rim. You, Treejay, and Q were on tour, just starting out. You went from that old Volvo, to multiple tour buses, sold out concerts, a TV show….everything man. It was amazing to watch you grow. You always treated my Jamla family like your family, and helped anytime you could. It was YOU that was the FIRST rapper to call me and say…”hey man I wanna take Rapsody on tour with me…she’s fire….” in 2011. Always smiling when I saw you, always love, always good energy, always showing respect……..Always Hip-Hop. Today is a sad day man….a very sad day. Rest Easy Mac Miller….. Gone too soon, lil bro. Love you always. #MostDope

Breaks my heart every time we lose one… I will forever appreciate you bro you supported me and gave me a shot from the very beginning. Because of you a 17 year old and his friends from Brooklyn got to play in front of 5000 after a day of school. That shit changed my life. I wish we got to hang out more and make more music…. Life is way too short appreciate everyone every moment. ❤️ R.I.P. MAC MILLER

Such a genuine person. Brilliant sense of humor. A true artist. Your spirit is what impressed me the most. The energy you brought to any space you were in. Contagious. You reached out to me at times when others didn’t. You were human. And we shared the same disease. A disease that is out to kill us, and when left untreated eventually will. I’m shaken. Shaken that someone who had such a light can be taken from this world so easily. It could have been me too many times to count. On the surface people that appear to have it all, are not exempt from the gravity and cunning nature of this disease. If you’re in the midst of addiction tell someone what’s going on. Don’t be a secret. Go to a 12 step meeting. Introduce yourself and you’ll be greeted with love and understanding from people that are fighting the same battle. Surrender. There are many paths, but it’s the only thing that has worked for me. I’m scared. Scared of how real this all is. Life and death. Beyond sad. Such a beautiful soul. Sending love to family, friends and everyone whose life was better because of your presence on this earth. Rest In Peace Mac ?
