It’s been over 20 years since the self-made millionaire, visionary, philanthropist, and serial entrepreneur Percy "Master P" Miller said:

“I’ll never work for the white man.”

-Master P "What They Call Us?"

He confidently recited this  phrase on the 1997 Tru 2 Da Game track “What They Call Us?” At the time, I was only 13 years old when I first heard the album, and I knew exactly what P meant when he said it. He was my very first favorite rapper, not just because I liked his music, but I admired his business sense, his hustle, and the way he looks out for his people, especially his family. At the time, I hadn’t seen anything like it.
