Mac Miller Quotes: 15 Inspiring Lyrics on Life, Love and Family

In another addition of our artist series, we break down the lyrics of Mac Miller. Malcolm James McCormick, who hails from Pittsburgh, got serious about becoming a rapper at the ripe old age of 15.

 “Once I hit 15, I got real serious about it and it changed my life completely”

After signing to Rostrum Records at 17, he began working with Wiz Khalifa, prepping his own release titled K.I.D.S. Since the breakout release of that mixtape and the accompanying tour, he’s released a steady stream of chart topping music. Embedded into that music are some thought provoking words of wisdom.

In this collection, we’ve  narrowed those songs and lyrics down to the 15 best quotes we could find.
