young cash & midget mac
Although you might recognize Midget Mac as the shit-talking “small person” vying for New York’s love on the hit VH1 show I Love New York 2, he is no stranger to Jacksonville, FL (Duuuuuuval!!!) natives. As the hype man for SRC/ Universal signee / local celebrity Young Cash, Midget Mac is already a permanent fixture in the Florida music scene and has appeared in music videos (including T-Pain’s “Sprung” and Young Cash’s “Freeze” and “X”). Thanks to the hype generated by his memorable appearance on VH1, he can barely walk through the mall without attracting a flock of squealing female fans.
Did you get down and dirty with New York? Nah, we didn’t get down and dirty, but she tongued me down. They ain’t show all the extra stuff. You have to go to VH1.com to see it. When we were all eating dinner we went to take a smoke break, me, her, and The Entertainer. He rushed over there with her and I played it like a G. Two minutes into the conversation New York told him she wanted to spend some time with Midget Mac and sent his ass right back to the dinner table. Next thing I know, she attacked me. Swear to God.
What’s your career goal? I always wanted to be on TV cause I knew I had the talent. I’m different than everybody else. I’m a midget, but I’m a fly-ass midget. I always wanted to be on TV, I just had to be in the right place at the right time. When they were doing the casting for the show [I Love New York 2] I flew out to California nad did a one-on-one audition with the casting dude. I knew once the muthafuckin’ world saw me it’d be all good.
Were you offended by New York’s mom’s reaction to you? Nah. That bitch was acting. You’re fifty years old and you ain’t never seen no midget? And you look like Grace Jones, so why are you scared of me? Bitch, you look like black Godzilla, with a wig on. I should’ve been scared of you! But I had to keep it G cause I was there for her daughter. But on the reunion show I let her ugly ass have it.
Was there anybody in the house you got along with better than the others? I got along with It. That’s my dawg, the crazy ass muthafucker. Buddha’s my nigga; he saved me when I was about to drown. Pretty and Punk are straight. The Entertainer, we had got into it, but he hit me about twenty times on Myspace dick-ridin’. I didn’t get along with 20 Pack because he hated on me on a date and he got sent home the same night, but he hit me on Myspace and apologized, so really I ain’t got a problem with nobody. Going into the competition, did you feel that you were at a disadvantage being a midget? Nah, I just went in with straight attitude. Man Man was like, “I thought you would be a straight dickhead because when you first came in the house you had your arms crossed, mean muggin’.” I was like, “I ain’t know y’all fuck niggas.” But a couple days later they knew what time it was cause they started bowing down, dick-ridin’. Do you normally date regular-sized women? I ain’t ever dated no midget. I’ve met midgets, but on some real shit, I have never seen a midget in person that fit my standards. I know I don’t look funny looking. I’ve seen a lot of midgets but they be looking funny, for real. How is that gonna look if two short muthafuckers walk in the mall? Everybody’s gonna be lookin’ at us. But nah, I fuck with girls that are like 5’ 2” and up. Are your parents midgets? Nah, they’re regular size. I’ve got three brothers too that are regular-sized. I guess somebody back in the day was short in my family. I’ve got two girls. One is regular sized and one is short like me. The doctor said that basically every time I have a kid, it’s a 50/50 chance [of them being born short]. It’s like rolling dice. My older daughter is regular-sized and my other daughter, she’s short. 36 // OZONE MAG
I see you have a lot of female fans now. They all say the same shit. Corny lines. “If New York don’t want you, I’ll take you.” “Who won?” “Is you Midget Mac?” Naw, bitch, what the fuck do you think? And, “Did you fuck New York?” I love all my fans cause I’m a humble nigga, but for real, the niggas be acting worse than the hoes. What else are you working on? I’m doing a lot of hosting from state to state, $5k bare minimum. But you could shoot me four and owe me a stack. But there’s a lot of rumors going around VH1. People say I made the show and I’m getting my own show, but I don’t believe it til it’s on paper. People all across the world told me the same thing: “You funny. You dressed head to toe.” Wipe me down. That’s just me 24/7. I act like that anyway. I just kept it G and everybody loves me for that. If you get your own show, is it going to be like Flavor Flav’s? It’s just been rumors, but VH1 made history by putting Midget Mac on. If you had 20 women competing for you, what kind of challenges would you put them through? Bend over and touch your toes. (laughs) Naw, just playin’. I probably would have them do some crazy shit. I might be 50,000 feet in the air and have them climb up butt naked on a ladder to rescue me. Midget Mac don’t discriminate. I like ‘em white, black, Chinese, Japanese, whatever, as long as they got a pretty face, a slim waist, and a moon pie. I ain’t really a titty man. You could have A’s or D’s; as long as you’ve got that drop top, Mac’s down, straight up. You’ve gotta be fire though and you’ve gotta have a good attitude, and they’ve gotta have that mizzle [money]. I could do bad by my damn self, that’s fo’ sure. I just keep it real; that’s what the bitches like. And I’ll cuss they ass out, too, when I got to. Bitch, you ain’t ‘bout to walk all over me. // Words by Julia Beverly // Photo by Terrence TYson
