Master P Set To Make, "Take A Stand Records"
Hip-hop artist and mogul Master P and son Romeo announced today the formation of a new record label, Take A Stand Records, with the mission of cleaning up both the image and lyrics of hip-hop music. The new label will represent artists that have pledged to be role models to both the music industry and music lovers of all walks of life through 100% clean lyrics and positive moral values.
Master P made the announcement public and gave further justification for the label via an open letter available on the web site, http://www.takeastandrecords.com/letter.html
Impressive move by Master P, instead of just talking, he stepped it up. Now will it be successful, I dont know.
More Info below
In the letter, Master P states, “personally, I have profited millions of dollars through explicit rap lyrics. I can honestly say that I was once part of the problem and now it’s time to be part of the solution. I am ready to take a stand by cleaning up my music and follow my son’s footsteps and make a clean rap album. [… I am not expecting the entire industry to change overnight but this is one positive step towards the growth of hip-hop.”
The first release under the new label will be a father and son album from Master P and Romeo titled Hip Hop History. The record will contain clean lyrics and will debut this fall.
Rather than perpetuate the conventional hip-hop stereotypes of violence, sex and wealth, music from Take A Stand Records artists will address social issues and positivity.
Master P added, “there’s too much negativity out there — enough with the stereotypes. Hip-hop is a movement, and it is time for it to move forward.”
Take A Stand Records seeks to be a hip-hop label with a conscience. Proceeds from record sales will be made available to underprivileged youth in the form of scholarships. In addition, Take A Stand Records will seek partnerships with organizations such as the NAACP and retailers such as Target and Wal-Mart that are in direct contact with communities.
A nationwide talent search for artists that share in the values of the new label is currently underway. Interested hip-hop artists are encouraged to become contestants on the new unscripted television show “America’s Next Hip-Hop Stars” (http://www.americasnexthiphopstars.com).

jay-z was bout to cash out 450 mill for the nets? where the fuck did u get that information from? how the fuck did he go from cashin out 450 million to cashin out 15 and ownin less than 1 percent? i aint no hater or nuthin, but damn. dat nigga p got bread. u gotta understand, p was a independent. when mystikal sold 3 million, p made about 25 mill. when c-murder sold 4 million, he made damn near 40. and thats not even includin how he was takin all they show money. he was rapin niggas. and on top of that, he was comin out wit his own cds and they was sellin 7 or 8 mill, and he was gettin all that money. p was a mogul b4 jay was even well known. and u talkin about stocks, dis nigga p is one of the smartest investors that ever did it. he’s a fuckin genius when it comes to makin business moves. this nigga still got clubs, restaurants and shit that nobody even knows he owns. and this nigga still comin out wit his own cds, and even though they only sell 50 to 100 thousand, he still makes a few mill off a cd. he doesnt even have to spend much on promotion cuz he’s a household name. he has fans buyin his music that was buyin his music in ‘93. if its one thing that i like about down south niggas, its that they loyal as fuck. dont just assume jay got more money than p. if he do, its still close. i mean i see u a jay-z fan and all, but dont get ahead of yourself doggy

P Miller is definitely on the right track. It’s about time someone took the lead and put some clean raps on the map. Speaking on the behalf of the older generation who loves rap, I say “Yeah! Let’s Do This!”

Hip Hop is on the way back baby! I’m also part of the movement. Check “wake up” on Myspace.

if master p is trying 2 clean up rap or the language why is he still rocking diamond chains wearing all black in his video he still perpetrating some of the same stereo types of hip hop with all the flossing if you cleaning it up go all the way you don’t need the jewerly and wack outfits and you can see that its still instilled in romeo kids are being killed over trying to floss 2 me it was a half ass wack attempt to get his message out there, and it looks like he’s pimpin romeo out putting oil all over his body in that wack ass video if you going all in go in because youre just sending mixed signals 2 these kids saying one thing but looking like another its been 6 or 7 years he’s being throwing romeo out there 4 any type of publicity whether its acting wich they can”t or rapping wich romeo can’t now he’s working the teenage sex symbol thang let him grow up and breathe p its cool 2 be rich and be low-key at least until you have something 2 slang thats worth something or else it looks and taste like stale potato chips / rap snacks.

Well.I can’t say that I am perplexed at how niggaz just keep getting shit twisted cause I’m not.Wuz not any of u muthafuckaz listing to wut P’wuz saying? This shit ain’t about who money is the oldest or longest silly as niggaz! How the hell do you jump from try’na clean-up the game to who has the most money out of P’and Jay.Wut the hell is wrong with niggaz?
And whether P’ is sending mix messages or not. It really doesn’t matter to me.Because the way I see it is is that clothes don’t kill niggaz.It’s stupid niggaz that kill niggaz.So if that man wanna dress in all black that’s his buisness!If I’m not mistaken,the Black Panters dressed in all black and the only people that felt threatened by it was the United States government!
And all the platinum,the ice and the gold.That is who we are as a people.When we came from Africa we were already drapped in gold and ice.Thats just apart of our nature.So whoever was crying about that can stop wining plzzz.You can find something more productive to cry about in the hood I’m sure.
Nobody is perfect and no plan is without flaw.So instead of trying to condemn the man for standing up and trying to spark a flame in the game,niggaz to embrace him and stop acting like cowards for a change.We need soldiers now and not pussy ass niggaz that are quick to stand up and die for colors,but are skurred to stand up and fight for something that we all need so desperately in the hood.And that’s change.

first and formost yall lil young dudes need to quit being nut hair for jay z nam one of you kids no what he make or has. but what you do know is his shit is off investments master p built his shit from his own product weather its old or new money it’s still coming. This grown ass man is bringing a new point of view to you silly lil folks talking bout money. Most of you don’t even do the shit you listen to that’s why you listen to it trying to act the shit out. You should listen and try to learn something your boy jay ain’t talking bout shit. Folks like outkast, goodie mob, ugk, and P who got shit to say don’t get heard because you commercial thugs pushing silly shit on the radio. Try doing something new!

Romeo steals tracks. My boi did the beat to Rainman. they offered him 500 dollars for a different track and he told them no, they never even made an offer for that track to rainman, and recorded it from Mp3.
it is really a shame!
