That's because you know his music is trash. But even trash has its place momentarily. Hip Hop was never about money, actually the main reason it was invented was because it was a counterattack to gang culture. If you look up certain elements of hip-hop you'll see that it was exactly opposite of gang culture at the time. One being, biting someone else's Style because a lot of gang members would use other gangs styles that's considered wack in Hip Hop. Shout out Kool Herc the founder.

If you don’t like master p…you’re a young weirdo who most likely doesn’t even know who he is. He had the southern rap game locked down from the early to late 90’s. Even when he was here out west repping Richmond, he was putting out hard gangster music. Mamas Bad Boy, The Ghettos Trying to Kill Me, West Coast Bad Boys 1 & 2, The Ice Cream Man and 99 Ways to Die all had hood anthems. Then he went home and it was back to back albums with classics that still hood relevance to this day.
Master P actually use the game of the streets and applied it. If you can be the ceo of a block, neighborhood, city, etc... you can use same method in corporate America. People will hate on you but shit if you on the block they will hate.
@@malcomshabazz2809 wha he did actually went over ppl heads .. the colored cases represented the colors of crack vials .. every color represented a different dealer p had orange .. fiend had red n blue etc etc albums dropped first n 15 ..
Lol remember he was using those color cd cases that looks cool in your cd stands. Made it way easier to find too. Orange, ghetto D and white for c-murder lol
Those covers were country bumpkin trash lol that's why mos def and kweli did a sattire of their covers inside one of their covers. No limit helped solidify the power of ignorance and koonery in the streets and the musical industrial machine. Pathetic.

His smartest marketing tho was advertising in his albums. Every CD cover promoted the next 10-20 CDs. No limit CDs made you want more No Limit CDs.

B high is a great interviewer
During that time, they started to hate the south...the south got sumthn to say--3stacks
Bezino should’ve stayed lokey at the source so he wouldn’t be judged when it came to his music.
Waitin on the source magazine in jail was like waitin to be released it'll always be one or two who ordered an you'd have to wait till it landed in your hands after a couple already went through it lol
Yes sir lol
Facts Benzino bout P, he is spittin' and KEITH NAPIER was one of the biggest promoter's from the Bay linked in wit them.
Benz had some slaps, the game funny like that, they took for granted, B was the Source.
Marketing is essential
The ads paid off tho🤷🏾♂️
That Made Man album was not 4.5 mics lmao. Come on Benzino.
VOLUME is the Corporate name 4 it..the street name is called WEIGHT...
The Source was a must grab. XXL also. Now I don't even bother
Bring back the source
I met benzino On South Beach back in the day. Dude is really bout that. Real G.
I had to tell this young girl one time that P opened up New Orleans to the rap world. Cash Money got money, but P really kicked open the door for New Orleans rap.

The Source is forever stamped in hiphop history. You were running to the book stand to get the next issue and see who got what mics.
I hated that the ads was all over the source. It was basicly an ad magazine
I got books still of your XXL man theses books I'm and was not looking at beef but how yall kelp up the business yo great interview
bet he got trauma from Em killin his Rap Career
Fuk five mics! I am the Source- Zino
So roughly 2mill a mag? And wasnt the source every month? That's crazy.
Edit: l'm not talking about how much Master P spent, I'm talking about how much ad revenue the magazine made. Benzino said about half the magazines were ads, so half of 160 is 80. 80×25,000 is 2mil.
200K
