With a sample of Duke Ellington’s and John Coltranes “In A Sentimental Mood,” this song searches for and tells us of the darkness deep inside Macs own psyche. In particular the one song that really had an impact on me was “Diablo.” A well sampled, haunting and bar-driven song that spoke so much and that was just done so well. But then Faces dropped and it was just so good. It’s an amazing piece of art and is what made me love Mac and his music so much. I always enjoyed his music but never really placed him high on my favorite rapper list. In my opinion, the record that forever changed how I felt about mixtapes and Mac Miller is Faces, a mixtape he dropped in 2014.
