Master P discusses creating blueprint for trap music.
According to No Limit Records founder Master P, his 1996 album, Ice Cream Man served as “the blueprint for trap music.” The musician was asked about the album, during a newly-released interview with XXL.
Master P also spoke on Rap-A-Lot, Scarface, and Geto Boys opening the doors for him in the South.
“To me I feel like it was the blueprint for trap music,” Master P said while speaking on Ice Cream Man. “Because nobody wasn’t talking about hustling like I was talking about it. Nobody was really a boss in the music industry, everybody had a boss, everybody had someone putting their music out. So when I talk about hustling and trapping, I think it opened the doors for the Gucci Manes and the Young Jeezys so they could have a verse and everyone else after it. I feel like Rap-A-Lot, Scarface, Geto Boys opened the doors for me in the South, and I opened the doors for the rest of Southern hip-hop to where people could be themselves and be a real entrepreneur and businessman.”

P also recalled receiving an apology from Pimp C, who called him out because of a perceived diss, before he passed away.
“He went around saying ‘F Master P’ because he thought somebody had cussed his mama out,” he said. “And I think before he passed he ended up coming to me and saying, ‘Big dog, I apologize to you. That was my bad. I was on drugs.’ You know what drugs do to people and it’ll make you say crazy things to people. I don’t say nothing crazy to people because I respect everybody.”
