In a recent interview with Ebony, Master P claims black artists aren’t really appreciated until they pass away.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
EBONY.com: Do you think that message of hope is very important?
Master P: Oh yeah it is. Think about it. Look at how young Tupac died. Who really told Tupac how great he was back then? You imagine if Tupac was still around right now people would be like, ‘Oh man, he’s a has-been.’ Let’s be honest. We don’t take rap serious the way other cultures take rock-n-roll, they take country. They artists are being loved. People still love Willie Nelson no matter what he been through. They are praising him like he’s the greatest. We wait until our people are gone to say how great they are.
He’s right.
I get what he’s saying and we should do better. I remember how people use to dog out Whitney but they loved her again after she died.
Not one lie was told.
P be saying some real sh-t.
He dropped some gems on Solo’s album.
