Master P Says Hip Hop Is Dying Young; Explains How To Save It

But no matter what his financial situation is he's an OG.

In a recent interview with HipHopDX P explained why he thinks Hip Hop is dying and what can revive it.

You look at this culture right now, Hip Hop is dying so young," P said. "Think about it. It’s because of the drugs and people not being held accountable. ... Even that you look at this culture in Hip Hop why we dying so young, because we don’t have the right leadership or the right older people around us to tell us that we wrong, because we just see the money. ‘Oh, these guys making money.’ Even the parents end up being friends. One thing I love about my parents and my grandparents, they never was my friends. When I went to them, I know that I got the real. I think that people as parents, if you got a young person that’s in Hip Hop, or just in general, in life, stop trying to cheat the game.

Stop trying to just have fun with your kids. I just think that’s the only way we’re going to save this culture. Because like I said, everybody is not going to overcome all this adversity. Because I got friends that died, I know you probably had it, too. My daughter just had her friend, a 19-year-old girl that died. So drugs do kill. I think a lot of people party and don’t want to look. Look at all the artists we know that died, and then they got into beefs and all these different things. I think it is a lack of education.”

Whether it's drugs or violence, there's no question the rap game has recently been supporting Jim Jones's point about rapper being the most dangerous profession.

Do you think Master P has the solution?
