Is he being real or is he flippin it to help promote his businesses

Please Read! 

I read this and First I was shocked at how intelligent and thoughtful Master P sounded.  Its his response to gettin smashed by 50 who was asked about censorship and was told Master P has agreed that Hip Hop has gotten out of control. And 50 response was Master P doesn't sell records. Which he doesn't. Percy Miller has responded and Im thinking it sounds Noble and almost Sincere. But at the end he plugs himself. It just makes me wonder does he give a fk at all. Or is this just another opportunity he sees to get his name back into rotation and make a profit. Maybe its me, but the older I get the more I see that people don't care any more, they just pretend for a dollar.  I guess my question is

Do the end justify the means, here's Master P comments tell me what u think 

 

 

 

Master P's open letter:

Curtis Jackson's comment motivated me. There are a lot of immature people in the world. Oprah Winfrey is absolutely right, we need to grow up and be responsible for our own actions. I paid for Curtis's first rap tour through the south. He was such a humble guy at the time. Most artists' mission is to sell records. My mission is to help save and change lives. There's a lack of knowledge and false information out there. I could actually say Little Jay and Rap-A-Lot Records inspired my successful career and I will always respect them no matter what. I wrote the blueprint for this generation. The only difference is there's no more honor and respect in the game.

Think about it: people in jail are not writing letters proclaiming to come out and do the same thing that landed them there in the first place. People in the hood don't want to stay poor for the rest of their lives. They want to change. Parents that really love their kids would rather sacrifice their own lives so that their kids could make a change to have a better life and a better education. I'm glad that there are people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and organizations like the NAACP that are out there fighting for our rights and dignity. I have finally realized that EVERY person is either a part of the problem or part of the solution and that is why I have decided to take a stand! I'm reaching out to corporate America to form an alliance for the sake of putting the value back into our communities by rebuilding and developing schools and businesses.

First of all, it's simply disappointing to see people that are in a position to help make a change just sit back and entertain the negativity. It's sad to see Steven Hill set all of these programming standards at BET, just to contradict himself for the sake of marketing dollars or artist performances in order to create the appearance of a successful award show. The record company with the biggest marketing check controls the music video stations so we need to go after the people who actually control these programming networks if we want real CHANGE.

I guess by taking a stand, my son and I will probably not be invited back to the BET Awards. But it's O.K. I got love for BET; there are a lot of good people there. Hopefully, this will help people to see the real changes that need to be made. My son and I will sacrifice our airtime because this is bigger than us, this issue desperately needed to be addressed a long time ago. 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.

Throughout the years, I have lost so many relatives and friends. This year, I'd like to focus on the comedy movies because we need to laugh more. The first movie that I'm producing is "Black Supaman" and thereafter will be "The Mail Man" starring Tony Cox and myself. I'm setting up a book tour for "Guaranteed Success" and a Hip Hop Business class with financial expert Curtis Oakes for those seeking knowledge. I understand that I can't change the whole Hip Hop industry; I'm only trying to do my part. If you're real, be a part of the positive movement with Take A Stand Records.com Look for the first single "I Wanna Be Like You" from the album "Hip Hop History." I'm in negotiations with Wal-Mart and Target for direct distribution. Those are all examples of the positive difference I am trying to make in this industry.

I'm reaching out to my friends Shaquille O'Neal, Will Smith, Russell Simmons, Queen Latifah, Derek Anderson, Charles Barkley, Emmitt Smith, Beyonce, and Reverend Run to help contribute to this positive movement. I will also be holding a press conference with the president NAACP and will be able to answer any questions at that time. I am not asking any other hip-hop or gangsta rap artist change what they do; that's how they make their money. Furthermore, I am not a preacher; I'm just telling the world what I'm doing and the changes that I am making because it's something I want to do. If that's sending mixed signals to people then they need to deal with their own conscience first.

    Im sorry, I just find it hard to find Master P relevant anymore. I didnt think he was relevant when he was ‘relevant’ LOL. But I can say he makes a little bit of sense here. The motivation? Dont know. But if it makes any difference, I dont know if it matters.

    Now Master P 3wants to clean shit up. Where was he at a year a go with this ??
    He was just about to beat up Bow Wow last month and now he is talking peace and unity ? …. "He’s a nigger… He’s a nigger".
    Its no different than the crackhead who hits rock bottom and now all of a sudden he is a changed man and saved because he got nowhere else to go.
    Master P’s career has nowhere else to go so of course he is gonna co-sign the first thing that can catapult him back in the spotlight.These old niggas can’t just move over and let the young niggas eat.
    THIS IS THE FUCKING ICE CREAM MAN FOR GODSAKES…..
    You don’t see groupsdudes like NWA and Ice T flippin sides on this.
    Fuck Master P.

    Thats exactly why Im sayin is he for real or is he frontin

    his comment is well thought out
    very mature but is he full of sht is he sincere or is he frontin to get his name in rotation
    P is a business man with a business mind
    I feel like he fronting to piggy back of all those peoples fan base and that he really doesn’t give a sht.
    This is the same guy who pretty much stole every album title from 2pac
    and then turned around and tried to market his son on Nickelodeon

    and even if he’s full of sht
    does the ends justify the means

    This is Master P’s space right now.
    The hip hop community been stopped paying attention to his ass. He been on Nickolodeon for years now so of course now his resume fits the bill and he can join in the foray.Curtis hit the nail on the head when he said that about P. He wasn’t being disrespectful, he was being truthful. This is all the same bullshit propaganda that black people eat up all the time. Its just a sign of how separated we are. We can’t even agree on something that we created and that stands for us. This is why I don’t break up fights or march for shit. Niggas are all for tearing each other down. Sure there is a problem in hip hop… BUT THERE IS A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THE JUSTICE SYSTEM… THERES A PROBLEM WITH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM…. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM…. HOW MANY FUCKING RELATIVES DO WE HAVE IN JAIL ? HOW MANY MEN DO WE KNOW THAT DON"T TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN… And all these rich well off niggas can do is make an issue out of hip hop… fucking hip hop.
    Niggas wanna stand side by side with hip hop when it benefits them but wanna tear it down when that bandwagon comes along.
    Keep the merry go round going because while we up in arms about hip hop… niggas is getting imprisoned every day under a bullshit justice system…. kids are being raised without fathers… black kids ain’t getting the same education that white kids are and who do we blame for that shit… hip hop ?
    GTFOH.

And P got looooonnnnnggggg paper - he was in a deal wear 100% of profit was his - then he went to 85% profit was his. He country as hell but he ain’t no fool. this nigga got a hustle out da ass. And 50 dropping albums now and he is just as irrelevant with his dumb ass! :smilebig:
