Master P Blasts BET's Stephen Hill and Muses over 50 Cent in an Interview with Souleo on SixShot.com

Rap icon shares his frustrations and triumphs with future media mogul

New York, NY: October 29, 2007 -- In an exclusive interview with up-and-coming media star Souleo, Master P reveals his dissatisfaction with Stephen Hill, 50 Cent and the current state of Hip-Hop.

Master P elaborates that although he was disappointed, he was not angry at 50 Cent's negative statements at the BET Awards' press conference, understanding that they both have different missions in mind: 50 Cent's mission is to sell albums, while Master P's mission is to clean up lyrics to promote positive images in Hip-Hop. He placed the blame more on BET's Executive Vice President of Entertainment Program, Stephen Hill, for broadcasting the news conference and "laughing at [50 Cent's] negative comments." He also accuses Stephen Hill of being a "male groupie" - only promoting artists with the biggest selling records backed by the most marketing dollar.

In this candid interview with Souleo, Master P criticizes himself for building his success on negative music and images, and discusses his mission towards redemption. Master P, like many celebrities Souleo has interviewed, had no problem opening up to the youngest and hottest rising media personality. Souleo is one of the hosts of Southern New England's #1 weekly show, "The 360 Degree Black Experience in Sound." on the historic 95.5 WBRU. He also makes weekly contributions to several unique columns that he helped mastermind and develop for Sixshot.com, one of the leading online hip-hop magazines. His debut column article is featured in "The 7th Shot," and it is an interview with mega producers, Tim & Bob.
