All was not happy, though. Some people were pissed that it seemingly took him dying to be recognized as a great artist by the Grammy committee.

Mac Miller fans were pleasantly surprised to find out the late rapper had earned a 2019 Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album on Friday (Dec. 7). Mac's Swimming album is up against some stiff competition as it will battle it out with Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy, Nipsey Hussle's Victory Lap, Pusha-T's Daytona and Travis Scott's Astroworld. News of the posthumous nomination has the internet abuzz.
