Don't Call Him Master P.
Filed under: Music Minute
Diddy called. He wants his schtick back!
According to a new press release, you better call Master P. by P. Miller from this point forward!
Here's what P. Miller had to say about the name change:
"I am changing my name because Master P is who I used to be, I call it my childhood and P. Miller marks my manhood. I wouldn't change my past because it has groomed me to be the man I am today. Growing up has nothing to do with age. People grow up mentally and spiritually through life experiences, but when you come from hip-hop it is almost impossible to get past the stereo-type it associates you with. I will always love hip-hop; it plays a major role in who I am today. I have branched out into so many different arenas that range from being the first African-American to have a clothing line at Wal-Mart, to writing books, and speaking on Capitol Hill, but all of that gets overshadowed because I come from the hip hop industry. It's important for young hip-hop artists to know that they are not limited to one career, they can educate themselves, and prepare for life after hip-hop the same way pro-athletes prepare themselves for life after sports. Also, know that you can branch out into other avenues if you are multi-talented or have other dreams. My dream was to enter corporate America, my son's dream is to go to college and play basketball, and Will Smith's was to be a famous actor. Many of us can begin new careers, take advantage of different opportunities and still remain true to hip-hop.
There are a lot of people out there, who are afraid to grow up and change, but I'm not and P. Miller is the evolution of me, Percy Miller the entrepreneur, the businessman. My goal is to educate the hip-hop culture now and if they don't get it, then hopefully their kids will get it and understand. My fellow hip-hop artists should know that we can't rap forever. I'm glad I'm in a position in my life where I don't have to put out music because I've prepared myself for the future. To build the generational wealth we have to educate our families. That's why my son is going to college. Fifteen years later I'm still successful because I've realized the importance of education, growing up, and responsibility."
You got it, P.Miller!
Don't you love what people in Hollywood do for a bit of publicity?
hahaha
First!
I have to say I respect this man for everything he said. This is not only someone African-Americans should learn from but everyone. P. Miller it is!
what a loser…. P.Miller?! c'mon man….
Just another IDIOTIC nouvo riche, trying to command respect and authority and deem himself all so important. He ain't nothing but another hoodrat in designer clothes. Get real!
That's the best name he could come up with? That's an intial….
yeah, the 80's called too, and they want their joke back.
"still remain true to hip-hop."
what???!!!
who cares?
…and I'm sure this was written by a handler/publicist of his. I cannot fathom him having the writing skills to concoct such body of text.
=]]
Boo!
Uhhh, well Ok , whatever it's not like we will remember either name so call yourself what you want. I think from now on I want everyone to call me "Queen".
why doesn't he just go by his birth name? the whole name thing sounds dumb to me
I don't see anything wrong with this statement. Sounds like a very mature way to think. Hopefully black youth will take his advice.
That dude should be given an AnythingNothing.com gift certificate…
He not be Massa anymore? Dat be good a’cause it don't look like no darkie be called Massa dese days. Why he not be Massa? Somebody buy him?
WHY do these idiots feel so compelled to constantly change their names? Really, what is the logic behind it? If I got a new job, should I change my name because I started making more money? Uh oh, I met a new person that became my best friend, so I'd better change my name! Besides that, I don't even know who this moron is!
So lame, stick with 1 fucking name. No matter how hard he fights he will ALWAYS be known as Master P. There is nothing wrong with that name, that name has made him millions. But whatever floats his boat I guess.
Not even that expensive suit makes him look classy! he still looks like a drug dealer from the ghetto!
should of called himself Sir Frankstein after those dance moves he showed on Dancing with the Stars
Re: Buckwheat –
You are ignorant…. get a life…
BTW - Master P can't act worth a shit. I won't call him anything..
Re: Helen of Troy –
It's nice to see that you are spewing your hate today. It must be hard to be such a middle class white belly coward…
r us erious who da hell is he no1 even cares nemore lol next
Re: Buckwheat – Buckwheat. Hahahaaaaa. That's racist but still funny as hell.
make em say uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhim the captian of the motherfucking ship!!! hahaha I used to LOVE Master P and Mystikal 90's gangsta rap 4eva! lol
Wooopee?
It is not often that I choose to embarrass myself, but is this the same buffoon that looked like he was a 12 month old child just learning to walk on "Dancing With The Stars?" Nice suit. Nice spin. Someone decided he can make more $$ for their machine. Maybe he should stick to whatever he did before he decided to embarrass himself and a professional dancer.
His arrogance is superseded only by his irrelevance. I for one didn't know he was still alive.

I don't think he did this just for publicity. It's a positive message from a positive influence on the hip hop community.

Re: Helen of Troy – racist!!
