*Master P isn’t surprised that Jay-Z’s latest business venture has sparked criticism.

​The No Limit Records founder recently discussed the reaction to Jay-Z’s partnership with Target during an appearance on V-103 Atlanta’s “The Greg Street Show,” offering a perspective shaped by his own experience navigating the business side of Hip-Hop.

“You can’t please everybody,” Master P said. “It’s gonna be some flack on anything you do.”

The comments came after Jay-Z faced criticism for partnering with Target on a special 30th-anniversary edition of his debut album, “Reasonable Doubt.” The retailer’s exclusive version features white vinyl, special packaging and a collectible insert and was released in June for $40.

​

The partnership has drawn criticism from the Black community because Target scaled back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

“I get it,” Master P said. “They was more upset that Target led a bunch of us off, and they ain’t did nothing back, ‘cause guess what, we spent $2 trillion a year. But is they giving something back to our culture? We gotta start holding these corporations accountable.”

The discussion also touched on the business relationships between Hip-Hop artists and major retailers, including Target, around album releases.

​

“People don’t realize marketing is the key,” he explained. “I tell people all the time, 10 percent is your talent, 90 percent is the business, the marketing, the promotion.”

His comments put the Jay-Z controversy in the broader context of an industry where commercial partnerships have long been part of the equation.

Hip-Hop Turns 53: The Culture That Started in the Bronx Is Still Making History​

*Fifty-three years after hip-hop emerged from the streets of the Bronx, the culture that began with block parties, DJs, and young people creating something out of very little has become a global musical powerhouse

​

The Hip Hop Museum celebrated at Aura 57 in Manhattan, bringing together some of the artists and DJs who helped build the culture alongside a new generation keeping it moving.

Among those turning up to celebrate were hip-hop legend Yo-Yo, Special Ed, CleoTrapa, luxury fashion designer Romeo Hunte and legendary DJ Red Alert.

Radio/TV personality Jazmyn Summers was there for EURweb to bring you the story.

​

Hip-hop began in the Bronx in the 1970s, emerging from Black and Latino communities at a time when New York’s economic and social landscape was bleak.

At parties and gatherings, young DJs, MCs, breakers and graffiti artists began building a new culture from the ground up.

The music and movement spread from the Bronx to the rest of New York, then across the country and eventually musically dominated the world.

​​

Rocky Bucano, CEO and co-founder of The Hip Hop Museum is a Bronx native who began DJing as a teenager in the 1970s. “Hip Hop is one of the most powerful artistic revolutions to emerge from the United States,” Bucano says about the Museum’s mission. He describes hip-hop as having become “the most popular art form in the entire planet” and that’s the history The Hip Hop Museum is honoring.

​

The Museum’s permanent home at Bronx Point is designed not simply as a shrine to the past, but as an institution documenting hip-hop’s continuing evolution. Bucano calls it the “official record of Hip Hop,” emphasizing that its story belongs not only to New York but to the global community that has embraced the culture. Its official opening is scheduled for spring, 2027 but it stages regular activiations, workshops and exhibitions around the country.

​

Bucano notes that hip-hop can now be found everywhere from Brazil and China to Japan, describing it as a culture that has “galvanized the spirit” of people around the world.

The anniversary party did much more than pay tribute to the past , it celebrated that the beats and flow created by young people in the Bronx became a soundtrack for the world and 53 years later is still making history.
