This tape may be different, possibly even confusing to many on their first listen. In 2014, faces was more of an era, a place in time, but in a way, quite a dark hurdle.
At the time of recording he was 22 years old and had already lived many lives. After blue slide park and KIDS, by the time Macadelic rolled around, many didn't expect such versatility out of him. Although it wasn't the first time hearing such themes from Mac, this was different, it was dark.
Throughout this video I explore each song in depth and tear apart every sample. I reviewed this with the original mixtape samples because that is how Mac intended to listen to it. In this album he uses each track to dive into introspection and extrospection, which helps us understand who he really is behind his face. The story of Face's is quite dark, but throughout this project Mac proves to us that you can get through anything.

I have heard this mixtape a thousand times at this point, and the "Inside Outside" just does it for me every single time. To this day I get goosebumps when I start the tape.

āI inherited the taste for self destruction and im scared of itā shit gets me everytime Iām in the same boat unfortunately, this tape is such a masterpiece

The line āMixing uppers and downers, practically suicideā is such a bar. In that yes, it is practically suicide but also the second meaning of suicides in a basketball gym when you have to run up and down the court for cardio.

Favorite track is definitely happy birthday. That second verse where he really starts questioning things always gets me in an introspective mood.

This album saved me during a hard time. Favourite track... Too many to pick one. But that line on Grand Finale never leaves me: "I fear nothing on this odyssey of dark roads, God lives in my dog's soul, the devil in his dog bowl".

You know you are dealing with a start to finish masterpiece when you look at the comment section and see that everyone seems to have a different fave off the album. Personally, I love the grand finale. But there isnāt a song that I can say is definitely better than the rest

26 and fighting hard against anxiety and depression, I got everything some people would want but still struggle with being happy.
Itās so crazy how perfect Mac puts these feelings into words. (Update for anybody who cares: try wim hof especially the cold water treatment it worked wonders for me)

Honestly every single track is my favorite, this project came out then I lost my mother two months later. This project truly saved me.

Ever since it came out, Color and Shapes has been my most listened song on Faces. It never fails to bring me into another world and just relax my soul.

I gotta say ānew faces,ā is one of Macās best verses. He flows so good on it, and that whole album is a masterpiece.

Picking a single track is so difficult this has been my favorite project of all time ever since I first heard it. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably be funeral. I love how Mac talks about his insecurity, isolation, and his feeling that his downfall was ironically led to creating his best work. I think the song is so dark and beautiful which comes together to make an absolutely amazing song.

My favorite track off of Faces is Funeral. Not only is the beat fantastic but it really makes you reflect on your own memories and experiences. Iāve always had an eye for existentialism and the cycle of life/death. I like every track equally so itās not necessarily my favorite but definitely beautiful. This project is currently getting me through my declining mental state and Iāve already faced the fact that Iām gonna be numb whether I like it or not. The universe really aligned for me with this one as I started listening to it again in august and it just came out as an album. Rest In Peace Mac. One of the most underrated artists of all time. Donāt fit on nobodyās playlist.

The whole album is like going through a lifetime. It's an amazing concept. He touches on all parts of life. Addiction love, depression, joy. It's all there.

āSpent all my cash on a broken dream,
went from weed and liquor to the coke and leanā especially the first line, was a prolific way of saying as the drugs have gotten harder, they havenāt gotten him to stay in a positive mental state.

"Forever I melt, and float away like waves in the ocean."
Funeral will forever be my favorite song off Faces, and one of my favorite songs in general. It's so heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time.

I listened to Faces for the first time about 3 years ago with my older cousin, who got me into Mac. I was in a dark place and Mac was still alive at the time, the lyrics fascinated me because I struggled a lot with expressing myself and getting help with what I was dealing. One night it got very bad and I was listening to the mixtape locked in my room with no lights. When the song āfriendsā came around it blew my mind cuz I started really listening to the lyrics and was shocked and amazed on how a human being can paint pictures with words about his addictions, struggles, dark thoughts and everything he was dealing with. It felt like I was letting of everything that I was dealing with thru his lyrics. This mixtape is why I started to rap and produce. It made fall in love with the art of hip hop and with Macās music even more. Most Dope forever.

Love this project so so much. "Here We Go" is probably my favorite for a lot of reasons, including Mac's iconic "I did it all without a Drake feature" line as well as the incredible intro.

Faces is my favorite project ever made, Iāve had it downloaded for years now and listen to it daily. Itās Insanely hard to pick a favorite track but Iām narrowing it down to two, Diablo and Grand Finale. Amidst all the darkness in Macās life he still shows how heās the coldest mf in Diablo with the lines āthe bottom barrel of society, I tell my b**ch if she donāt love me then just lie to meā . In Grand Finale I love the first line āAnd if by chance this is my Grand Finale, bury me in Allegheny countyā I moved to pittsburgh 3 years ago for school and Mac taught me to love the city, Going to the Mac celebration at blue slide park was so surreal and this city and Mac made me who i am today. I have to go with Grand Finale for the previous reason, and Mac is so self aware of his life and where itās headed when he says āIām a bit surprised that Iām even still alive, mixing uppers and downers practically suicideā. I get goosebumps every time I hear that song and sometimes get brought to tears when stuff is going on in my life. Iāve dealt with similar problems as Mac like addiction and not really know who you are in life, these songs remind me that Iām not the only one going through stuff, itās nice to have someone to relate to. It keeps your head on straight. Grand Finale also shows me that even when you think you might be at the end you can always keep going just like Mac did when he left the sanctuary. Mac made life saving music, even if he didnāt know it at the time.
Long live Mac š¤“š»
Most Dope Forever ā¾

Listening this album and knowing Mac was only 22 is absolutely crazy.
