Now, P, he made a name for himself off of his grind. He sold records out the trunk of his car. His biggest collaborator on No Limit from 91-94 was E-A-Ski. And he was with Ski around the time Ski broke into the mainstream. He didn't go out and sign let's say Too $hort to a record deal to create his label. He didn't strong arm others into doing what he wanted. It was pure grind.
If you believe Suge was a better business man than Master P, you're either A a fan boy of Suge or B do not know shit about business.Suge took one of the biggest artists in the West Coast at the time and built the label around him and his beef with another one of the biggest artists in the West Coast at the time. Dre jumped in the studio with D.O.C. (an artist that came along from Ruthless), Warren G (his family), Snoop Dogg (Warren's friend), Daz (Snoop's family), Nate Dogg (Warren/Snoop's friend), RBX, etc. etc. Suge didn't build a conglomerate.
