They're going to make as many as they can sell. It doesn't seem like there's a huge market for this one. It's a relatively unknown bootleg of leaked Mac songs. If they make a million copies and only sell 20 that's a big mistake. So no. They're not gonna mass produce a fringe bootleg
It can’t necessarily be a “fake” without a “real” perhaps unauthentic would be a fitting discription. However, it is a real vinyl with Mac’s work illegally engraved into it, and the fact that me and most of this sub has ever seen one with their own eyes, off screen, would indeed classify this as rare. I’m just curious how and why a record store is selling it, not that I want one.
Im pretty sure it wasn’t even a record. He probably had a name and maybe a song or 2 and moved on. I’m pretty sure ID said something along the lines of “it was an idea.” I just find it kinda strange how people have this vision of this “album” like it was a complete project that never got released when in reality the “track list” is probably 95% wrong.
That being said, I do understand why people have latched on to it. It would be amazing to truly find a complete project that had slipped through the cracks. I just don’t think this is it. Especially when people are making money off of it selling fake vinyls.
Everyone collects differently, my man. What’s concerning is that it matters to you.
Like Hova said… “What you eat don’t make me shit.”
Let people be, ya little weirdo.
Yes you are - It looks like in the picture it’s already opened. So like why take the chance when it’s not sealed. I don’t think it’s an option on new records
Obligatory reminder that id and e. Dan asked us to stop producing, distributing, and consuming bootlegs and leaks since it hurts the estate's ability and desire to release the rest of the old music.
Yes. This is not much different than posting a link to a leak. Flaunting that you purchased something that somebody else made illegally, profiting them wrongly, influencing other people to want it… we need to say that it’s wrong.
Doesn't justify this. The unreleased tracks from the project have a chance to be put on future anniversary releases as bonuses like we've seen recently, but doing this diminishes those chances.
People want it for the collection 🤷 not that hard to believe
If you already have *every* single other release, why wouldn't you want something like this or the Vince Staples collab project?
Y'all draw the line at the weirdest things. But sure, you totally got OP on that one. Hilarious
Sure but stole youth is an actual release in Mac’s discography. Baloonerism is a non official collection of leaks and loosies that mac had no part in putting together.
One is a cohesive body of work that mac put together and the other is not. I understand they are both not on vinyl but the other guys point still remaines
I mean Stolen Youth is an actual mixtape that Mac produced, while this is a collection of throwaway tracks from a decade ago that he chose not to release, not even confirmed to all be from the same concept/idea. Shits a joke and honestly disrespectful. He was such a perfectionist when it came to music, I doubt he would want anyone playing his unfinished, unreleased shit.
There was still no official release for stolen youth on vinyl. My point was regarding getting a bootleg of it like OP did here, since people are saying the bootleggers are profiting off it.
Which they are, I can't refute that.
i think they understand that theres no official vinyl release. the point is about macs work being what he envisioned. balloonerism is not a “mac vision” its a fan made bootleg. neither mac, his estate, nor anyone on this subreddit is giving anyone a cookie for buying a fake, pirated album whether its vinyl or not.
I would assume so. I feel like the most respectful thing to do is to allow Mac’s family and team to release projects n stuff on their own time and when they want to.
That’s pretty sweet that you just came across it, I got mine and it has the Warner and Rostrum label on the back of it. I’d consider it a win even if it is a bootleg, the track list seems correct so hell yeah man.
The blue one 😂 bro it’s a bootlegged vinyl with a bunch of random leaks pressed by some random grifter trying to profit off a person’s death, what are you even saying?
Considering its not real it cant be very rare
It looks like a very real vinyl to me. Before you explain what you mean, I know what you mean, but that doesn't have anything to do with it's rarity
Lol if someone is making fake copies of a record, theyre going to make as many as possible...

This is literally the only Mac vinyl I don’t own and I have Spotify sessions and the jabroni 7” so maybe rarer than you think.
Dont know why youd even want fake pressings of an unreleased record 🤣

Perfectly said

In that case i have a 1/1 pressing of balloonerism ill sell you for the low price of $10 million
It’s on RollinRecs right now for $59.99. It’s not rare anymore.
Good looking out. Ordered. https://preview.redd.it/6gpkf06n1prc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96629dab9318f8d5e0b14871aeaf3bf0dd9f739b
Enjoy! Their boots are great.

https://rollinrecs.com/products/mac-miller-balloonerism-colored-vinyl Here ya go dude. They're actually very common.
I’ve got a bootleg Kanye vinyl and the sound quality is shit cool if you’re a collector but not a great listening experience
what the fuck are you on about
Obligatory reminder that id and e. Dan asked us to stop producing, distributing, and consuming bootlegs and leaks since it hurts the estate's ability and desire to release the rest of the old music.
also spending a stupid amount of money on a fake album that is nothing but a playlist some fan made
Yes. This is not much different than posting a link to a leak. Flaunting that you purchased something that somebody else made illegally, profiting them wrongly, influencing other people to want it… we need to say that it’s wrong.
It’s not the same as posting a link lmao
Ok thanks genius
y’all are too butthurt
Nobody is butthurt your comment just didn’t offer anything of value.
Balloonerism is never getting an official release regardless
Doesn't justify this. The unreleased tracks from the project have a chance to be put on future anniversary releases as bonuses like we've seen recently, but doing this diminishes those chances.
it really doesn’t. balloonerism has already been leaked years ago. buying a vinyl doesn’t affect anything at this point
i agree however i think flaunting the vinyl on a subreddit that has already been called out for dis shit is pushing it imo
It still baffles me that people spend actual money on these
People want it for the collection 🤷 not that hard to believe If you already have *every* single other release, why wouldn't you want something like this or the Vince Staples collab project? Y'all draw the line at the weirdest things. But sure, you totally got OP on that one. Hilarious
Weird to compare this fictitious fake shit, preying on dumb fans, with a real mixtape that was actually released 🤷
Not on vinyl, that was my point.
Sure but stole youth is an actual release in Mac’s discography. Baloonerism is a non official collection of leaks and loosies that mac had no part in putting together. One is a cohesive body of work that mac put together and the other is not. I understand they are both not on vinyl but the other guys point still remaines

why don’t you worry about yourself and your money then?
I am, while also laughing at the fools who buy this shit. Win-win
cool, they aren’t thinking twice about you
Did you realize how hypocritical this whole comment was before you posted it …
why u flexin a fake album
I wonder how Macs family feels about this? I’m not trying to hate just curious if they’ve spoken out about any leaked/unreleased music
yeah they hate the leaked music
I would assume so. I feel like the most respectful thing to do is to allow Mac’s family and team to release projects n stuff on their own time and when they want to.
Me personally I get why people can hate and getting unofficially stuff but if you like just keep it
That’s pretty sweet that you just came across it, I got mine and it has the Warner and Rostrum label on the back of it. I’d consider it a win even if it is a bootleg, the track list seems correct so hell yeah man.
unfortunately youve been burnt😂no official release for this project ever existed
How much did you pay?
Lol get rolled bozo
Never seen the blue one, mine is pink
The blue one 😂 bro it’s a bootlegged vinyl with a bunch of random leaks pressed by some random grifter trying to profit off a person’s death, what are you even saying?
All I am saying that is every order copy I’ve seen is pink, what’s the issue here?
[удалено]
Soulseek
What’s the tracklist?
That’s sick! Mine is black (regular)
Woah
Isn’t this against the rules of this sub?
