It shouldn't have come as a surprise when Anderson .Paak delivered a deeply personal tribute to Mac Miller at the BET Hip Hop Awards earlier in October. Although they only put out one song together ("Dang!"), they spent a lot of time in and out of the studio, which grew into a strong friendship.

While in New York to promote his upcoming Oxnard album, .Paak also took a moment to remember the first time interacting with Mac Miller which stemmed from his boon of working with Dr. Dre on Compton. .Paak also breaks down what made Mac so special as a human even outside of music.
