Will Hip Hop ever see anyone do it as big as Percy Miller?

P invested money in a lot of businesses that tanked... cell phones, gear, movies, shoes etc. They cost more than they brought in. He would have been better off investing than running 10 businesses @ once :yeshrug:

P will always get respect from me. dude put everybody with Miller blood on. my nikka was a gangsta rapper with a show on nickelodeon think bout that. how gangsta is that :wow: P was the typical hood dude at heart with a thousand hustles but it stretched him thin. he tried to take over the world at once instead of one island at a time

who respects birdman more than master p aside from a bunch of noobs and casuals? lets be reality, no limit had the most impressive run out of all these rap crew labels. not to mention that no limit changed the landscape of hip-hop.

and are we gonna act like master p was selling less than most of these dudes youre naming. master p and others on no limit were top sellers. and even the midcard & bottom-feeder artists were going gold. lets not throw backhanded compliments out there man. lets keep it 100. he sold more than most of these dudes and he did it with alot less promotion and made more money even when his chit wasnt selling anymore.

lets be really real. the real reason why master p's legacy is tarnished in the eyes of some is because they threw shade on him for owning his own chit and put up blockbuster numbers without blockbuster promotion. the industry hated that chit, white folks hated that chit and the east coast hated the fact that one of our own didnt have the distinction of being the one to do what master p did. and he still came out here and rocked our major venues.

and most of the people that still maintain that no limit and other southern artists from the south's golden era were wack, are currently listening to the INFERIOR southern music of today, simply because theyve been brain-trained to think that this chit is hot because its all thats on the radio.

Did I say No Limit's music was wack? No. I said that people don't think of No Limit as this great label music-wise, just a bunch of guys who grinded and sold hella records while on top.

But let's not get it twisted like P's label outsold Bad Boy. Then you'd be talking crazy. Difference is P ran his label while Diddy was having to slip some cash out on the side. I personally think No Limit put out the better music between them and Cash Money. But CM just happened to last longer due to changing their sound and jocking other styles. Beats By The Pound was No Limit. Cash Money found a way to live without Mannie Fresh, though their music as a whole suffered in quality.

Don't confuse me for a new jack, I know what the deal. I'm just saying what the people nowadays think.

who are these people in the bolded?

i never said you were a new jack. i dont know anything about you. but i know that youre giving credence to new jacks.

bad boy played a major part in the game becoming the cess-fest that it is today with them OD'ing on payola and such. alot of their chit is tainted. the way no limit came up is way more impressive, and yes they sold more albums than bad boy for what its worth.

the point was, you cant show me a rap label with a more impressive level of success than no limit. these dudes were not on radio & TV like that, yet they still sold an astronomical amount of records.

:usure:

Master P is far from broke... that nikka is doing far better than most of your ballin' ass rappers.

bankruptcy≠ broke.... the fact that he only has to pay $271 a month in child support just goes to show how well he understands how to work the system.

:clap::clap:

and the bolded basically sums it up. add in the fact that dude has a legendary music catalog as well, and master p would be kool herc status if he was from NY.

instead he gets tagged with backhanded compliments from people who want to disregard him but cant. they try to tag him as an entrepreneur that cant rap but he has more classics under his belt than most "rap legends". then they try to find little ways to downplay his business accumen. all i gotta say about that is :pacspit:
