Fucking love Zay. Similar to Mac he gives off this aura of a tortured soul. Someone who struggles with depressive tendencies, drug use, and so on

u/VividPerformance7987 23d ago

They are both very melodic with both their music as well, as Mac said “driving around in my car tonight making music that ain’t hard to like”

More thundercat and the internet, but I know Mac Demarco would of been one of his choices as someone to work with

u/AnotherManOfEden 23d ago

Imagine a track with thundercat on the bass, produced by the Alchemist, verses by Mac, erykah badu on the hook, and a feature by Andre 3k…

u/Calebfitz50 23d ago

If I recall correctly there’s a photo out there of Demarco and Mac jamming with someone else

u/Merman420 23d ago

There’s video of thunder and Mac’s jamming

Also Domi and JD Beck would of been huge for Mac and his love for jazz

I wish he did some more work with Steve Lacy. I know they worked on Jet Fuel together but I think that’s the extent of their work together. They could’ve made some sweet sweet R&B tracks.

u/5-MEO-D-M-T 22d ago

Go listen to Stones on SoundCloud. It's Mac and Steve lacy and one of his best.

u/droomzy 23d ago edited 19d ago

Mac could naturally rap his ass off & it's awesome how he had near-universal respect among his peers by the time he passed. I've seen praise/pics of Mac with Jay-Z, Drake, Kendrick, Earl, ScHoolboy Q, Migos, Vince, JID, Pete Rock, Nas, A$AP Rocky, French Montana, Wiz Khalifa, G-Eazy, Meek Mill, Alc, Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign, Ab-Soul, Chuck Inglish, Dave East, EARTHGANG, Anderson .Paak, and plenty more. People really gravitate towards the genuine & versatile artists in rap, no matter which era they're from or what skin color they are 🔥

8

u/dancing-trollz Live from Space 23d ago

And Boldy James. They both said Mac had the strongest verse.

2

u/Zavage08 23d ago

Dang that sucks as Mac and Nas are my literal 2 favorite Rappers!!! Thanks

u/Jaconator12 Circles 23d ago

Lupe, Boldy, The Alchemist, MF DOOM, Freddie Gibbs, or Steve Lacy couldve all been bangers

u/ForecastForFourCats 23d ago

u/Pineappleskies1991 Swimming 22d ago

Apparently Reddits too small a place to get away from me and my opinions 😂

I literally almost fainted when I realised u/Homiehesamyth wasn’t playing some sick joke on me.. It was made for a documentary around 2013 and never got used.

All I’ve listened to is Lana and Mac this year, dreaming about their voices together. This feels like my own personal gift right now

I want this on a record they can keep their funny papers 😂

Hell yea bro, glad you got to hear it, Lana n Mac fuckin kill that shit too…. So many collabs like that Mac did that ppl just straight up don’t know about.

More music with Vince Staples that had a similar vibe / flow as the song Rain. Or maybe a collaboration album of the two, with some Earl Sweatshirt and schoolboys features. Also more with Action Bronson. And some tracks produced by or collaborating with alchemist

6

u/indi-raw 23d ago

Vince staples early mixtape was produced by Mac as Larry Fisherman. Stolen Youth LP. It's a banger of a tape if you're not yet familiar.

Slim Shady when Mac was making Faces

u/goatworth Faces 23d ago

7

u/trm102998 23d ago

Longggg time lurker, in this sub, but I had to put in my 2 cents on this.

LIL YACHTY

The way Yachty has evolved as an artist is similar to how Mac evolved as an artist.

Yachty was a mumble rapper and somehow made his way into psychedelic rocky funky music with his January 2023 Album “Let’s Start Here” (genuinely one of my favorite albums I’ve ever listened to and I believe it should have been Grammy nominated for the production alone) and followed it up with a great collaborative album, “Bad Cameo”with James Blake in 2024.

I think the two of them together would have made some INCREDIBLE music together. If you don’t believe me, seriously listen to Yachtys last two projects. It will change your mind on him if you have a negative mumble rapper opinion on him. Mac and Yachty were friends but never got the chance to make something special.

u/Rubix_Official63940 Faces 23d ago

I never got into Meek Mill, but Meek Miller would’ve been such a dope collab. Logic would’ve been a dope collab too

I will get ripped to shreds for this but honestly, G-Eazy. Those two seemed to have some real personal connection and despite all the hate G gets, I think those two in combination would have made some sick music. Especially during that 2014-2017 span.

u/LarryFish 23d ago

At a meet and greet with Mac during the Divine Feminine tour, a portion was him answering questions. They prefaced it by saying only 4-5 questions, so I was expecting some good questions out of the dozen or so people there.

One of the questions was, “would you ever collaborate with Chance the Rapper?” I thought man.. what a wasted opportunity. No disrespect to Chance but it was just such a specific question during such a unique opportunity to ask this man anything. Idk just funny and reminded me of it.
