Look at Pattie LaBelle and her pies. They can't keep them damn things in stock, and it has a her picture on the box. Why's that?

Because she's known for her cooking skills. She has a cooking show, and cook books. There's an attachment to what she's selling.

Bruh... that was some of the best viral marketing of all time..... nothing to do with Patti knowing how to cook

Because the white shyt AINT perfect but we only start getting on our soapboxes when blacks try.

We don’t even give our people a fighting fukking chance. And no I will NOT wring my wrists about standards with blk products b:c it took us about million times more effort just to get our damn foot in the door while non-blks skip across the finish line, present the same mediocre bullshyt but received grants, generational wealth, loans, non-discriminatory practices and just had the doors wide open for them.

Da fukk I look like adding another burden to a black person’s shoulders simply for having the courage to TRY, but not having a peep to say about other racist ass industry who been feeding us absolute nonsense for centuries, even as they brag about hating us while we consume their shyt.

This is crazy.

I agree with this 100%. That's why I try to support black business whenever possible. I can't support half ass effort tho.

:mjpls:whats wrong with any black man putting his picture on his shyt.:snoop:
Nothing.

It's about branding.

Master Ps image is that of a novelty.

People associate image with branding.

So a lot of people look at Ps products as a novelty, piggie backing off what's currently In demand or flavor of the month.

From biting in his music to hopping on the fashion bandwagon to selling food products and hand sanitizer in a cheesy attempt to capitalize on consumer demand.

So what I think the person is trying to say is he would reach a further demographic if he didn't us his image to market for branding.

And for that reason ialone s why people won't buy the product

It's like he treats each endeavour like a indie record in house, compared to actually hiriing a. firm for pr and distribution.

P wants you to buy it because it's a master p product and it's black owned, not that he has a better product to offer at a discount.

If he does, I'll eat crow.

My dude, you acting like P has somebody on the cover eating watermelon and tap dancing. It's just a picture of himself. :mindblown: The fukk are you talking about? You coming off like a real uncle tom.

Paul Newman is a top selling brand but I never heard someone complain about his picture being on front.

Or the Emeril. But it's a black man so it's a problem??

yea, id wanna support the brother. but if he wanted to be taken more seriously he could use some better imagery. when i saw the box i burst out laughing b/c of how shoddy it looked.
i would suggest some sort of character maybe.

I have yet to go to any Walmart that didn't have those pies falling off the table because there was too many in stock:mjlol:. As for Master P I can't find his rap noodles anywhere, but if I find them I'm definitely going to try it out. We can't sit here and complain about representation and then actively look for reasons to not support black owned stuff. People in here complaining about presentation mattering, yet if Popeyes or Chick Fil A made a commercial where it was just a new sandwich sitting on a dirty countertop ya'll would still want to go try it.
