Ask any Mac
Miller fan what their favorite thing is about one of Allderice
High's hottest MCs, and most of them will tell you that the dude does not
front. You never need to wonder what's going on in Mac Miller's head:
he'll always tell you. He's got a constant and genuine direct connection to his
fans -- close to 2 million of them on Twitter, which he essentially uses as an
unfiltered portal into his mind, which is a pretty positive place to be.
And at the 2012 mtvU Woodie Awards, where he announced
his Macadelic mixtape release date andwon two Woodie Awards, Mac
Miller had his fans on his mind, and he wasn't afraid to share his genuine
gratitude for his fan base that's more like a mutual partnership than a passive
audience.
"My fans are dope,
man," Mac Miller said. I think the reason they go so hard for me and why
they ride for me is because... I think they just see me as one of them. I never
wanted to be put on a pedestal. I never wanted fans that look up to me... I
always wanted it to be that we're just the same. That's kinda why I think they
go so hard for me. When my album came out, I had fans tweeting me that they
bought 10 of them. Now, why? Because they just care about me. And it's dope
that my fans not only enjoy my music but they genuinely care about me,"
the "Frick Park Market" MC said.
Mac went on to share his
personal and positive vision for his fans: "I think every person should
look at themselves like, not to sound cheesy, but I think everything person
should look at themselves like they have the ability to be the person that changes
the world. I don't think people should think of themselves that they can't do
something big. So my whole thing was just instilling that in my fans. I want
them to understand that if everyone has the mentality that I'm gonna be the
person the best of all time at what i do, it's gonna happen."
