Goldlink Calls Mac Miller a Culture Vulture in a Nice Way in Open Letter about their Relationship

Goldlink shocked the world when he put an open letter to Mac Miller on social media for the world to see. It was candid, and directly from his mind with no filter. He touched on the things that made their relationship so rocky, but a great at the same time.

He also seemed to be alluding to Mac Miller being a Culture Vulture. He didn’t say it in a mean way, but in a way that meant he accepted this fact he believed. He refers to their problems stemming from the way Mac Miller “adopted other people’s styles” in his music. This is the main aspect of being a culture vulture. Maybe he meant something else by that part of his letter, but it sure does seem to come across that way, take a look at the full letter he released on Instagram below.

He began saying, “I’d be lying if I said I was surprised to hear that you died on us. Not because you were necessarily troubled, but because you were special and because of that, you were troubled. At your peak, you were the archetypal rapper all of us wanted to be; which was independent. But also just a kid with really bright eyes about life. I’ll keep it short because I want to continue our conversation for when it’s my time to go. But I think what made you and I special is that we weren’t always on the best terms. So I didn’t always have great things to say about you.”

He continued on to say, “When we were on the GO:OD AM tour, I played you my album “and after that we didn’t talk”, and you thought it was absolutely incredible. I released it under the“Soulection” label and the single for my album was called “Unique” ft. Anderson Paak, and that was your favorite song at the time. You loved it so much that you made the entire tour party listen to it, and surprised me with a cake after my set. I always thought you drove yourself insane about your own music. So much that, you would adopt styles as homage to those around you that you loved”.

He went on to say, “That’s where our problem started. Divine Feminine was an actual blueprint of “and after that we didn’t talk”. Your single was called “Dang!” Ft. Anderson Paak…you had Soulection support you on the Divine Feminine tour and when I tried to contact you, about anything at all…you never hit me”.

He continued saying, “A close mutual friend ended up just hittin’ my DJ saying “listen man, we love Link, but we just had to do what we had to do. And Mac said if he needs a verse at anytime, he got him” We are family, you could always call me. Afterwards, we seen each other at Coachella, and you put your head down like an innocent child, but I told you to pick it up and I hugged you like the brother you are to me. You were the first person brave enough to openly say “he’s dope.”, and gave me a platform”.

He ended his open letter saying, “That meant more to me than anything else. 3 days before you died, I remember pullin up on you at the crib, walking in the house and seeing the Divine Feminine album plaque on the wall. I was so proud of you and what YOU created for yourself. And I’m forever grateful for that”.
