Mack Maine On Young Money: “The Crew Can Only Be As Big As The Leader”
Last night I got my hands on The Source’s October/November Power 30 issue with Birdman/Mack Main & The Black Eyed Peas gracing the cover. For the cover feature(s) Maurice G. Garland sits down with Mack Maine to discuss his role under the Young Money/Cash Money umbrella. In the excerpt below, Mack Maine explains how making sacrifices in regards to his career have landed him and his team in the forefront of hip-hop.
Did you ever want to leave Young Money at some point before becoming the president?
Sometimes I call myself the sacrificial lamb. There were times when I could have easily left. But I was born into this family. Career-wise, yeah, at one time I had a big spotlight and people wanted me. As far as people who left Young Money because it wasn’t big enough for them? The crew can only be as big as the leader, so we had to make sure Wayne got to the level that we needed him to be. Some people didn’t stick around because they didn’t see the vision.

STOP THE VIOLENCE: The 25 Most Dangerous HOODS In America
STOP THE VIOLENCE: The list of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America for 2010 dropped today and we are not surprised that Chicago took the not so coveted spot. Using exclusive data developed by Dr. Andrew Schiller's team at neighborhoodscout.com and based on FBI data from all 17,000 local law enforcement agencies the top 25 most dangerous neighborhoods with the highest predicted rates of violent crime in America are analyzed.
Are we surprised that a Chicago neighborhood is number 1? With Derrion Albert and Robert Freeman coming to mind we are not surprised.
