Love this song
Mac Miller’s “DIABLO” might be one of his best tracks ever. ‘FACES’ celebrates its 12-year anniversary today. Is this your favorite track from the mixtape? 🎭

People with ADHD don't run errands. We embark on quests. We wander. We discover. We forget what we were discovering.

In 2009, we tried to throw our very first DatPiff Live concert at the Masonic Temple in Brooklyn. On paper, it looked solid. Styles P, Red Café, JR Writer. In reality? Total disaster. We had no idea how to properly market a show or handle the logistics that come with running one. On top of that, the venue was way out of the mix. It was the perfect storm for things to go wrong, and they did. But we learned. In 2010, we ran it back. This time at SOB’s in SoHo, arguably the hottest, most intimate venue in NYC at the time. The approach was different. Instead of stacking the bill with just popular New York names, we built the lineup around artists whose mixtapes we had recently released. XV was the headliner. He was buzzing heavy, and we were dropping his new mixtape at midnight that same night, so the synergy made perfect sense. The supporting cast was strong too: Cory Gunz, Los, Masspike Miles, DJ Woogie, DJ Killatouch. And then there was Mac Miller. K.I.D.S. had dropped about a month earlier. Mac had never performed in New York City before. We knew he was hot online, but we had no idea what that would translate to in real life. We didn’t know how many fans would show up for him. Big mistake. That night quickly became a Mac Miller show first, DatPiff Live second. I’m not exaggerating when I say 90% of the crowd was there for him. He went on third to last, and the second he touched that stage, the place exploded. The room was shaking. He did a 30-minute set, and if I could go back, I would’ve given him an hour to run the entire mixtape front to back. He absolutely bodied it. I remember looking around at everyone backstage, we were all in shock. Like, “what just happened?” His manager at the time, Artie Pitt from Rostrum, great dude, was in tears after the set. He looked at me and said, “I’m just so proud of him, man. He made it. This just solidified what I already knew, the kid’s a star.” He was right. None of us could’ve predicted just how far Mac would go, but in that moment, we all knew something had shifted. He had arrived. As for the rest of the night… after Mac’s set, about half the crowd left. Masspike Miles went on to a nearly empty floor. The remaining fans were holding out for XV, who closed the show to about 40–50% capacity. To his credit, he still delivered a great performance, finishing right around midnight as his mixtape officially dropped. The next day, the blogs and media coverage labeled it “Mac Miller’s show at SOB’s.” DatPiff barely got mentioned. The other artists barely got mentioned. And honestly? Rightfully so. Deep down, we all knew that was the night. The night Mac Miller went from a buzzing mixtape kid out of Pittsburgh to a future global touring superstar. It’s a night I’ll never forget. And I guarantee anyone who was in that building won’t either. If you were there, drop a comment 🙌 #macmiller

The deepest pockets control the industry these days, the little guys don’t stand a chance against Apple, UMG, the RIAA etc. It’s about the money first, music second. Back in 2014, I had an exec @ Apple tell me WE were their competition, little us vs a $4B company 😔 The effects have been felt. The music is watered down, bland, vanilla. Hype is gone, rarely exciting.

Media ADHD: "Ooh, look a squirrel! Let's go ride bikes!" Real ADHD: "I am currently ruining my own life by refusing to perform a 3-minute task that would solve 90% of my anxiety. I am fully aware of this. I am screaming internally. I physically cannot make my body stand up and do it. And yes it as stupid to me as it is to you.

Asha Sharma, Satya’s pick as new Xbox CEO, comes out the gate strong: “We will take risks” “We will not treat [games] as static IP to milk and monetize” “We will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop” “Games are and always will be art”

The ages 25–30 are crucial You’re accepting that your circle is getting smaller, your parents are getting older, you’re cleaning up the financial mess from your early 20s, managing your career and health And somehow, you still need to find time to heal your mind..
