50 Cent says Master P isn’t selling any CDs these days……

Rapper 50 Cent recently went to bat for hip hop. During a press conference announcing this year’s BET Awards nominees, the rapper said,

In related news, 50 Cent also took a shot at Master P during the news conference. When asked what he thought about Master P’s decision to clean up his lyrics, he said, “Well Master P doesn’t sell CDs anymore. You can tell him I said it. Cameras is rollin’ right?”

“And hip hop is a reflection of the environment that we grew up in. It’s the harsh realities. They end up in the music. If I ask you to paint a picture of the American flag and not use the color red, you gonna have a difficult time.”

Master P wrote a letter to Eurweb.com in response to 50 Cent’s comments. It read in part, “Curtis Jackson’s comment motivated me. There are a lot of immature people in the world. Oprah Winfrey is absolutely right, we need to grow up and be responsible for our own actions. …I paid for Curtis’s first rap tour through the south. He was such a humble guy at the time. Most artists’ mission is to sell records. My mission is to help save and change lives.”

Master P added, “There are four things that differentiate me from artists like Curtis Jackson. One, I can honestly admit that I was once part of the problem. Two, I don’t want my son to grow up and be like me. I want him to be better and do better – and that is why he is taking the time to pursue a college degree. Three, money don’t make me, I make money. My goal is to educate our people in building generational wealth and knowing how important it is to own real estate. Four, I’m a TRUE entrepreneur; my boss is God not Jimmy Iovine. From one brother to another, if you misunderstand my purpose you could always pick up the phone or talk to me in person. I’m trying to be part of the solution not the problem.”
