Today marks the first anniversary of the passing of Mac Miller. In honor of his life and legacy, we’re throwing it back to some of his most intimate and emotional performances. *Disclaimer* You might wanna have some tissues on hand for this one.

There’s no arguing that Mac had a big impact on the music industry, hell even the world! He had a knack for getting you into your feels with some of his more emotive tracks, but in the best way possible ya know? We compiled some of our favorites (it was hard to do tbh), to remind you of the essence of Mac Miller; his soul and passion can quite literally be felt through the screen. Watch below:
