"“You look at The Cosby Show and that was funny and entertaining but also educational and uplifting. It sent a message that probably sparked a lot of black doctors and lawyers now. That's what I want to offer with BBTV. It's going to show people where the future is going because a lot of us don't want to die gangbangers in the hood. Some of us do want to get older and be around to raise their kids.”" - tiffany from Bookmarklet

“[The biggest challenge is] to be able to make a diverse product and knowing that you need something that the churches and other cultures can feel good about so you don't just stereotype your product to where it's just all African Americans,” Miller stated. “To me, Hip-Hop is all cultures now, but it's also being able to service the corporations and make good shows that sponsors want to be involved in.

Well, in his defense, he's always been a bit of a businessman. Not surprised to see him transition, cause hip hop as an artist is a young man's game. - Derrick

I know him through work, and this is one of the most humble, focused and genuine people I've ever met. I wish him good luck. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

i'm not knocking his businessman ways. that's what i respect most about him. i'm just tripping because he went from making rather gully hip-hop to wanting to be a vehicle for positive, anti-stereotypical TV programming. the irony is making my head hurt. - tiffany

Is it just me or are there a number of Master P affiliated artists who are incarcerated? Or is that just hip hop in general? I can't keep up anymore. - Derrick

I love the idea of Master P paying homage to the Cosby Show. I hope his business works well. - Daniel J. Pritchett

David Byrne called and he wants his suit back. - s t e v e

Methinks that things change when you've got a college age son who you'd rather see with a doctorate instead of on a docket. - Jason Toney
