Mac Miller’s lasting impact in Talahasi – her campus

This article was written by a student writer from her campus in FSU head.

In the fall of 2023, a concert of Soulja Boy in mid -September served as the first live music performance at Tallahassee, which many FSU students experienced. Potbelly’s – the classic Talahassi Antiquity City Bar – hosted the event. They made a firm deal: insanely cheap tickets for a prominent artist. Naturally, the tables arrived and the garden was decorated with bright shades and a happy, tanning crowd.

As a result of the occasion, my thoughts were far from being filled with inquiries about the history of Potbeli; There is just too much for a college student’s brain. However, a simple late night turn brought me to a change in my heart.

To properly describe my reaction, think about the color of jealousy. Despite A poster, an obsessive grenade jersey and gold, or the foggy purple lights and Florida palms. What I witnessed was a different shade of elementary green jealousy. From a dirty video camera I watched a 2011 Mac Miller concert in the heart of Talahasi.

Implementation ChildrenS The classic Knock Knock, Miller’s vitality flooded the place. The audience moved to the rhythm with their hands raised and voice texts. Among his Son Slide Park Tour, the 19-year-old performer sang with a sense of belonging-all show emphasized his perfection.

Before his debut album, Miller flourished at Frat Rap. Genre-like mixtures like Children and The best day so far Causes part of its original popularity. However, I love life, thank youand Son Slide Park He offered a unique jazz poetic light that has not yet been shown in his discography.

Miller’s Pit-Stop performance at Potbelly’s was conducted with metamorphosis in his life. That was, unlike anything he had released before and happened so close to the home – hence, jealousy.

An rebound from my reaction to this discovery has created a series of online requests. I caught respecting. On January 19, 2024, Potbeli hosted a night of Mac Miller to honor the musician. According to the hospitality of the tribe, some of their receipts were donated to the Mac Miller Fund.

As a place once hosted the artist himself, I imagine that he was far more significant than a common themed night: it was a tribute. The night was dedicated to the celebration of a transcendent discography and soul, keeping his love alive.

Miller once said, “I think many times people just want to be cool and be in love is not cool. But I think this is the biggest. I think love is the biggest thing it has. ”

In my eyes, Miller was more than a well -written, happy rapper; He was captivating and an artist fighting. In quotations like this and performances like November 2011, his truth is clear. I believe that the artist’s affinity for love has melted in his music, not without intention. Interviews, lyrics and initiations say it better than I ever could – he seems to make music mostly to spread joy.

It saddens me to write that this is the only recent event of respect in the area. However, it’s still not a past month since the release of Miller’s second posthumous album, BallnerismS If there is something to take away from this, it is that we are rarely powerless to note those before us.

Movements continue to progress in Miller’s memory to this day, and I would be glad to see a resumption of memory in our own city. Let’s make sure Miller leaves a footprint in Florida!
