It's been awhile, but did y'all see this?
I know P Miller shoes were ugly but they were black owned and he was the first rapper to do it.

Yeah, I saw this. I want to see it happen. Business wise, Master P pioneered a lot that he doesn't get credit for. I would go as far saying P was the best entrepreneur that rapped. Other than Dre or Puffy, I don't see anyone else close. Not even Jay Z.
It was after the video:
Now, keep in mind, when we signed there was still 5 of us. Well, we catch a plane home from Baton Rouge where P had given us a gang money. I don’t want to disclose how much, but it was more than I had ever seen in my life. So, we flying home back to Oakland, and there was this lady in the back of the plane with us. Just Sons of Funk and this old white lady in the back of the plane. She asked us if we were a singing group, and we asked her how could she tell. She said she could just tell by the way we were. Then, she said tell your friend right there to calm his life down cuz he’s gonna die, but if he calms down then he will live a good life
That was the freakiest shyt I had ever seen in my life! It was like a whirlwind how all this stuff was happening to us, with people telling us this, God telling us that, this old lady, who I think was an angel, saying this stuff to us on the plane. And then sure enough, we get back and 3 weeks later, Rick was killed in Easter Hill, which is a real bad part of Richmond. So all these premonitions and this stuff that was bestowed on us, had actually manifested itself. My boy Rick got killed, we signed a record deal, songs were huge, and I had to sit back and take it all in.
Dubcnn: Damn, that’s messed up! So, did this incident put a squeeze on your deal with P?
Well, Master P had called and asked what was going on cuz he had heard that Rick got killed and was wondering why and how when he had given more than enough money to take care of all our bills and whatnot, and I apologized to him and told him that Rick just couldn’t help himself. So, he said he was going to send us some more money so we could start on our next album. So we went and really hunkered down to work on this album, and we came with I Got The Hook Up, the music and the singing part.
