Master P: “If I Had Social Media At 20, I Would Have Sold A Billion Records”

[FlyGuy]

Social media isnt just for selling records its expanding your brand into a limitless number of things you can sell/flip into a new hustle

 

[Chris Cool]

U can laugh at him now, but if you were there for the NL heyday and how ppl, myself included would just cop shyt just because it had the Tank on it....in my opinion I'd say he's not far off

If social media was around that means the internet is around, which means people are downloading. He's done nothing but flop since the internet popped. He's definitely far off.

It’s silly tho. With social media there would be streaming. He’s out of touch.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

But the thing is you can't just isolate the technology of this social media era and not include how easy it is to illegally download albums today as well.

Why can’t you? It’s called a hypothetical situation. You can literally make up anything you want when it’s time to play devil’s advocate. You might as well never have the argument of anything sales if you gonna say “well illegal downloads would mean it won’t happen”. Same era that these dudes going “platinum” based off streams before the album is even released. Just discount that shyt for a sec.

Dude sold 500 million without it. I’m sure if he had the marketing power of it, but everything else in his era was the same, he’d do a billy. Just imagine how flossy they already was but being all over social with it. New dances. Dropping all those albums like nikkas drop mixtapes today but be the only one doing it.

So 1 out of 8 people on the PLANET would have bought 1 of his records? Does No Limit even have any classics under their label?

but social media would have meant

internet

which includes

mp3s

Therefore

I would have gotten Master Ps shyt like I got every single track I own after about 2003 or so

Even if I would have been more prone to add it to my collection, I wouldn't cop shyt

I have a bunch of No Limit shyt now that I haven't listened to in over a decade. Shout out to How Ya Do That There. More specifically Young Bleed

Make em say
Na na na na

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Actually I wonder how a dude like Camron would do in the social media age if it started back during the dipsets reign.

 

[General Muck Muck]

Make em say
Na na na na

Classic albums I meant.

Ya. There's alot of hating ass nikkas in this thread.

P sold 100 mill without IG or Twitter, and you nikkas are begging people to listen to your SoudClouds on IG daily. I believe in him more than I believe in you and your 1700 followers.

Respect this man.

 

[Uchiha God]

And he’s got social media now and can’t sell 10 records

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

P did something that will never be done again...just think about it. Nowadays everything is digital and labels still not dropping 3 albums a month like No Limit was and they had to deal with manufacturing and distribution back then.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda...tired of these old dudes talking about the good ole days.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Nah cause social media would've put him on blast for scamming UPC codes

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

Does No Limit even have any classics under their label?

Nope maybe REGIONAL or personal fan favorites but nah most of No Limit's discography is watered down shyt that was done 2-4 yrs by better artists before No Limit started gaining mainstream notability.
