He knows the importance of having ownership of the material and content you put out. Not only for creative control purposes but how it is marketed and the percentage of earnings pocketed. He was able to do it on the music side starting with his relationships with Bay area artists. In 2018 Mater P is making another run in the movie industry applying those same principles. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"aZ5KHw39FW\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/spice-1-and-2pac-brotherhood\/\">Spice 1 and 2Pac: Brotherhood<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/spice-1-and-2pac-brotherhood\/embed\/#?secret=aZ5KHw39FW\" data-secret=\"aZ5KHw39FW\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Spice 1 and 2Pac: Brotherhood&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"a3oG0nTNmT\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/ice-cube-with-too-short-and-dj-pooh-reunion\/\">Ice Cube with Too Short and DJ Pooh: Reunion<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/ice-cube-with-too-short-and-dj-pooh-reunion\/embed\/#?secret=a3oG0nTNmT\" data-secret=\"a3oG0nTNmT\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Ice Cube with Too Short and DJ Pooh: Reunion&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master P has been making the rounds promoting his newest film I Got the Hook Up 2 as well as other projects he has in the works.
