Master P

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.

I only selected a part of Flash's post to comment on. But its not like I'm taking it out of context or anything. go read the original.... Anyways...I was just wondering, Flash, if you could show us all where to find the study that proved that all white people buy into this simplistic formula. Last time I checked, grouping an entire race together is called "generalization" and a "stereotype" and often refferred to as "racism" by many.
I can't believe that you posted this. I thought that there must have been a mistake at first. But...no...as I read it over again, its quite apparent that you said that white people will go out buy records that glorify violence and drugs, no matter what. not blacks, just the whites. They will buy records simply for the fact that the rapper talks about guns & drugs. I would love to hear the logic you used to determine this. Please enlighten us.<<

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
