Master P Responds To People Comparing His Sneakers To Jordans

[Pop123]

People are really comparing them f'n jeepers to Jordans? . P been my guy since I was a little kid but I would never buy his cheap ass products, lol

 

[GreenGhxst]

he might have better luck trying to swindle people as a car salesman

fukk outta here bruh, stop treating us like we're retarded

I want black owners to sell to us as if we were WHITE PEOPLE

you know goddamn well you aren't walking into a board room filled with white people selling moneyatti's

stop acting like we're simple fukks

@Rollie Forbes P is just as much MIA musically as the artists he bit is my point.

My point also is a Master P song hasnt been used for a feature TODAY in reference to cultural impact.

You are also overlooking the budget of millions Master P had to promote his brand compared to other artists.

That money is also used to pay for play. Do you understand record executives buying spots for music placement?

I got 5 was so popular that Puffy sampled a sample to make a song, not a tone loc or young mc song...speaking on cultural impact.

The same shyt you say about Make'em say, I got 5 will create the same impact. Its about when and where the music is executed.

Breh I used to DJ, back then.

You comparing 2 diff type of music.


Who is Mike Murphy?

I know who Mike Marshall, Tone Capone, Spense, Denzel Foster, Thomas McElroy and Jay King are.

Tone Loc was in the right place at the right time, and even HE thought this would never happen for him.

So he milked the shyt for what it was because of those singles, white people liked his voice, end of story. Lets not make it more than what it is.

Yuckmouth is still performing getting booked, Numb is doing him and Dru is Dru.

Numb will perform if he feels like it.

My breh, I dont know your nationality.

But Tone Loc nor Young MC gets NO play in the urban market.

They are looked at as crossover artists with MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice etc.

So with that being said, unless you are playing a festival or particular commercial pop event.

Other than cacs liking old party hip hop..

The shyt really gets no spins, my breh.

Vans has been around for decades. I bet when they started the owner was out on the front lines prompting his product.

But his face [Vans owner or owners) wasnt viewed as not viable or by using himself or themselves in ads was actually poor marketing

People like Dame and Master P actually hurt their products by being the face.

I agree, but this conversation is about cultural impact, not musical relevance. P's music
My point also is a Master P song hasnt been used for a feature TODAY in reference to cultural impact.

In the 90's, record budgets were way bigger than they are today. If you were on the right label (and handled your business), you could eat.
That money is also used to pay for play. Do you understand record executives buying spots for music placement?
I do.
I got 5 was so popular that Puffy sampled a sample to make a song, not a tone loc or young mc song...speaking on cultural impact.

I did college radio back in the 90's (at the livest HBCU in the CIAA, btw)
You comparing 2 diff type of music.
Not comparing music, just talking about who is more important to pop culture, and that's Master P, by far.

Who is Mike Murphy?
I meant Mike Marshall, my bad.
I know who Mike Marshall, Tone Capone, Spense, Denzel Foster, Thomas McElroy and Jay King are.
On a side note, Foster & McElroy was a pretty dope production team.
Tone Loc was in the right place at the right time, and even HE thought this would never happen for him.

So he milked the shyt for what it was because of those singles, white people liked his voice, end of story. Lets not make it more than what it is.

Yuk is on the chitlin circuit, Master P just had a (terrible) movie hit theaters earlier this year.
Numb will perform if he feels like it.

My breh, I dont know your nationality.
I'm Black/ADOS/FBA
But Tone Loc nor Young MC gets NO play in the urban market.

Agreed, but...
So with that being said, unless you are playing a festival or particular commercial pop event.
...they're on that 90's Hip-Hop tour circuit. When they came here, they were on the bill with Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh, Salt N Pepa, & Kid & Play
Other than cacs liking old party hip hop..
They performed at the Howard Theater in DC for a bunch of Black people like me (and they turned it out)!
The shyt really gets no spins, my breh.

So dr Dre should’ve never did beats commercials or promotions? Lebron shouldn’t be wearing his own shoe? Jay-Z shouldn’t be rapping about dusse or drinking ace?

 

[Flav]

Nobody:




Percy: Everybody comparing our shoes to Jordans

I swear I never heard anybody say that

 

[avon barksdale]

P does bite alot..he even copied mister Rogers song in the beginning "all the haters in my hood"

 

[CHERUB]

Who are the HATERS in ya neighborhooood?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Who are the HATERS in ya neighborhooood?

P hell

P never was the most talented artist but some of y’all tryna rewrite history. P was/is one of the best hustlers in hip hop. He was getting 85% on a distribution deal. He did his own marketing and had a brand that sold itself. He spent his own money and gambled on himself. Most of y’all hip hop idols could never say the same. P was calling out the Jews & whites for low balling nikkas. Dude been a hustler.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

What goes through these dudes minds that they think people wanna buy their shoes? I mean they all gotta start somewhere, but at some point they have to see themselves as not profitable. Like why cant they create and be BEHIND the scenes? Til this day, I have not seen the owners of the VANS shoe line.

Would be better off selling high end dress shoes instead of sneakers. They could actually sell if he hired a real designer and didn't show people he was behind it.
