CAN MASTER P PULL THIS OFF

A few months ago a blog friend of mine called NATIVE SON wrote a piece about Master P going clean that is how I first got wind of this story. In his post was a link to letter that Master P had wrote in response to some ignorant a@s comments Fitty cent had made.

In the letter Master P took apart Fitty referring to him as Curtis Jackson and pointing out that he had been the one to finance fittys first tour. Here is a statement from Fitty and Master P's response courtesy of my man the NATIVE SON .

"Well Master P doesn’t sell CDs anymore,” 50 said calmly, which caused the room full of reporters to burst out laughing. “You can tell him I said it. Cameras is rollin’ right? …‘Curtis,’ June 26.”

Master P Responds to 50 Cent in an Open Letter

"There are four things that differentiate me from artists like Curtis Jackson.

One, I can honestly admit that I was once part of the problem.

Two, I don’t want my son to grow up and be like me. I want him to be better and do better - and that is why he is taking the time to pursue a college degree.

Three, money don’t make me, I make money. My goal is to educate our people in building generational wealth and knowing how important it is to own real estate.

Four, I’m a TRUE entrepreneur; my boss is God not Jimmy Iovine. From one brother to another, if you misunderstand my purpose you could always pick up the phone or talk to me in person. I’m trying to be part of the solution not the problem. The media thrives on entertaining, especially the negativity no matter what the cost. I’m praying for the brothers that are lost out there."

Then tonight I came across this NPR STORY FEATURING MASTER P. P was spitting some truly profound game. This brotha needs to be acknowledged and supported. Major, Major kudos to Master P he just might change the world. He could possibly blow up to baby Oprah status.

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY PRESSURE RECORD COMPANIES TO CHANGE THE OFFENSIVE CONTENT

Ok here is the outline of an idea to bring enormous pressure on the record companies to clean up the content of hip hop music. Heres how it would go down.

We could find out exactly who to contact in these companies who can change the offensive content of rap music. Then lets start to create and send them and the executives and all guity parties petition after petition suggesting that they change the offending content, find out who thier bosses are send them petition after petition, talk to the share holders to see if they are aware of the offensive content of thier product.


Find out all of the venders each guilty record company does business with and then use similar tactics with them.

Force the apologist of the offensive content (whether they be the company/artist) or anybody else to explain their reasoning for allowing the offensive content to continue to be released to the public. Also these debates should be forced in a public formatt such as the Tavis Smiley show and Al Sharpton shows. When we have them in front of us debating we need to destroy thier arguments with good fashioned common sense because that is what this comes down to. We need to craft our argument against thier so that once we are done with them their position comes across as an insult to common sense.



P.S Back in the day Delores Tucker was right we were just too blind to see it. Way too many of us are still to blind to see it. Also in spite of what the apologist may say it still will not be any justification for a type of music that encourages and glories disrespect and harm to the one group that these young men can count on more than any other group in the world (black women).
