Master P and his son, Romeo, are taking the fight against what some people deem to be objectionable rap lyrics seriously: They co-founded Take a Stand Records, a label that will put out “hip-hop artists with street music without offensive lyrics.” Today the label’s maiden digital release with independent online music store AmieStreet.com — Gutta Music All-Stars, a mixtape of hip-hop singles originally released in May — comes out, featuring a bonus Master P/Romeo duet called “Let the Kids Grow.”
So, how does this piano-laden slow-roller compare to some vintage Master P, lyrically?
Here’s what you can expect from “Let the Kids Grow”: “Let the kids grow, let the kids dream / I was lost, I used to hustle in the same street / Let the kids win, let the kids play / If we change for tomorrow be a brighter day”
And 2005’s “I Ain’t Play’n”: “I left the hood for a week, and my name start ringin’ / Like I’m hustlin’ sellin dope, you got beef then bring it / I heard fire did this, and P.D. they trippin’ / That’s why I sleep with two gats, you never catch me slippin’.”
