>> Steve 'Flash' Juon wrote Which is exactly why Master P sells so well. I'm sure you honestly believe P makes black music for black people, but even his musically entertaining songs glorify violence and drugs to the extreme. It's been proven that this simplistic formula sells to whites again and
again and P is a savvy enough businessman to KNOW this. He ain't no
fool. Here's the logic: 2 Live Crew got controversial, 2 Live Crew got platinum. Geto Boys got controversial, Geto Boys got platinum. Tupac Shakur got controversial, Tupac Shakur got platinum. When you shake up the C. Delores Tucker's of the world, get a big fat sticker slapped on your album, and get all the critics to denounce you as violent and misogynistic, your album will blow the eff up. The more people criticize No Limit, the faster it sells. Hell yeah I said white people are stupid; I'm white too. I speak from personal experience of living in a college dorm where I *know* lily-white motherf*ckers who go to the record store looking for the most hardcore profane sexist album out because they're "Bout It Bout It" or they get a cheap thrill. They don't care about hip-hop; they just want their fix. Peace, Flash Go To Page: 1
