A week before his surgery my brother went to GF on a Saturday about an hour til close to look for fireplace piece. Mac stopped by and talked to him as he was walking by. My brother found a piece that was later deliver following day by noon. Mac called my brother that Monday to follow up. I doubt he remembers it was the same person he spoke to a few nights earlier but the fact he still makes follow up calls is admirable in this day and age. Later that week he had surgery. Guys the definition of Hustle.
Decades old rumors about Mac earning most of his money in the early days off drugs. And had some drivers as transporters. I don't doubt it- this was back in the 80s/90s. Alleged he got popped and had to do some speaking engagements advocating against drugs for HPD. Few more stories second hand stories to support this but it's not important.
Regardless, dude made himself a Legend with hustle, grit, and showmanship.
