The outpouring of grief in the wake of Mac Miller's death has spanned generations and musical genres.
Diplo, an EDM artist 13 years Miller's senior, posted a long Instagram tribute to Miller over the weekend. In it, Diplo -- who was close to Miller -- speaks on what made Mac great and what ultimately did him in.
He drank whiskey at major lazer after-party is til 4 am.. went back to festival at midday .. played piano like Mozart with the sun blazing down on him.. throw up on stage . Cry a bit, rap some more then pass out in the grass and text me a few hours like where we going next .. next five years I see this guy everywhere .. best people I could always count on.. we made a lot of music in my first studio in Burbank.. he kept getting better and better .. this dude lived so hard was so amazing and talented and still extremely missunderstood," Diplo types.
Diplo, who has a history of bluntness, also opined on Miller's dark, vulnerable side.
The other side was he was deeply insecure and always found substitution for what was missing in his life .. For a second think about the people around you and make sure they are always aware of the love .. don't take a second forgranted. They might need you and you don't even notice it because your too busy .. 💔 .. always gonna love you Mac."
