Master P has become an elder statesman of hip-hop. He has been around for an extremely long time, and has helped foster some of the genre's most exciting careers. However, the legendary rapper/producer believes there is a serious problem in hip-hop today. Master P, in a new interview, explained how "syrup" or a liquid mixture promethazine and codeine, has killed a "whole generation." Master P also bemoans what he believes are issues with many of today's rapper's images and public personas.
In a new interview with The Breakfast Club, Master P expounded on various issues he sees affected the hip-hop community.
"Nobody really wanna work no more...Everybody getting high now," Master P said. "The syrup is killing the whole-this generation. Sometimes you don't have to work for the money. If you do what you gotta do and you good at it, the money gon' come. You gotta love what you're doing. And you gotta educate yourself. A lot of people don't know-Even people that hit the lottery. That they gonna get some money, it's gonna change their life. The girl from North Carolina, she spent $12 million getting her boyfriend out of jail. Why you didn't invest that into some business...Anybody listening, you gotta cut some of these people off. I talked to Floyd Mayweather the other day. I was like 'Man, I had to cut family members off.'"
Master P plans on releasing a biopic entitled Ice Cream Man: King of the South. He says he does not plan on holding anything back for the project.
"My movie gon' be real because it's gon' be everything," he said. "And I'mma let everybody speak their part, but I'm not faking it. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it or make you look good. If you was fake back then, I'm gonna expose that. It's gonna show how fake you was. It ain't gonna be like 'Oh man, time done went by.' No, that's what-Maybe you might have grew up or you a man now, but you did a whole bunch of fake stuff."
