It’s just a shame that the exact issues Malcolm spoke about in this track are the same that lead to his death. The track ends optimistically with the rapper seeming to have turned a page and waking up to his issues – ‘Goodmorning’ the rapper says. The rapper goes on to admit that he knows that what he is doing is a problem and that he knows he will die if he doesn’t change. It is clear people were trying to support him, he was just blind to it. Just after saying ‘everybody’ is trying to get him to go to rehab and a voicemail of his brother trying to help. He sends a warning to those who regret not helping him enough. He predicts that he will go out due to an overdose.

Soon after the interlude, Mac spits some of the eeriest lines I’ve ever heard in a rap song.

― Mac Miller – Perfect Circle / God Speed Tell her they could have done more to help me and she’d just beĬrying saying that she’d do anything to have me back They don’t want me to OD and have to talk to my mother Malcolm said, “I wanted to tell the story of a lower point and my brother trying to get me out of it.” Then a phone rings out, leading to a real voicemail from his brother that was left after not hearing from the rapper for days over the Christmas period.

It makes you feel like you are in a western movie waiting for a shoot out to happen – the shoot out being Malcolm’s ultimate demise. In the first half of the track, Perfect Circle, Mac talks broadly about his issues with drug use in an almost shameful braggadocious way with the haunting piano looming over his bars. Thomas doesn’t care about Mac, he doesn’t even care about himself. This is then juxtaposed by a back and forth between Mac and Thomas revealing that they are the same person. Thomas sadistically comes in to say he doesn’t care what happens due to his drug use because the worst that can happen is he will die. He finishes his verse by admitting that every night he closes his eyes fearing he won’t wake. As the song title suggests his Grandpa always had alcohol with him just like how Mac will always have drugs – he likens this dependance to being caught on a leash. In Mac’s verse, he draws comparisons of himself to his Grandpa. ― Delusional Thomas (Ft. Mac Miller) – Grandpa Used to Carry a Flask So we close our eyes, hoping we forgot to die He clearly knew he had a drug issue but he just couldn’t face, Thomas personified that. Thomas kicks off the song by keeping to his name and confiding in ignorance, a motif in Malcolm’s work. It appears that Mac is starting to give in to the evil in his life. In the closing track, Grandpa Used to Carry a Flask (featuring Mac Miller), Thomas is portrayed as the devil on Mac’s shoulder, showing a power struggle between the two. In 2013, Mac dropped a mixtape under his alter-ego alias Delusional Thomas, where he would explore the darker side of his mind.

It feels like the perfect tribute to the late rapper so it is fitting that it closed his ‘ Celebration of Life’ – a tribute concert used as a final goodbye for friends, family and fans. The hook captures the joy Mac Miller radiated throughout his life. Pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile

The rapper said he was ‘just trying to capture a happy and positive vibe’ with this song and that’s exactly what he done. There was little expectation on what he should or shouldn’t do or where he should or shouldn’t go. The innocence and childlike wonder you see the rapper filled with is soul-destroying to see knowing his fate.Ī fresh-faced Mac Miller is hungry to take on the rap world in this song. The music video to Best Day Ever opens with a clip of Malcolm as a child, rapping The Sugar Hill Gang song ‘Rappers Delight’.
