Release Date:;Notes:Mac Miller - 'Best Day Ever' When most fans think of Mac Miller, the first thing that comes to mind is his seminal work Best Day Ever, it's recognizable artwork, or it's most popular track: 'Donald Trump.' My Mac miller album best day ever has a skip in the 3 song Donald trump. I opened it and threw it in my turntable and listen to it all. Then I hear the skip and it’s teall annoying the skip happens about 4 time.
