Master P Talks Saving Snoop’s Life, Allegedly Pistol Whipping Pimp C & His New Biopic

On Misrepresentation of Eazy E:

“The N.W.A. movie, I didn’t like the Eazy-E character. I liked the movie, but I knew Eazy-E. He was a real street guy, I knew him… so I know the truth. All that stuff is not how Eazy-E would of [agreed with] — Man, you couldn’t do Eazy-E like that, not the Eazy-E I knew. I knew it was going to be repercussions. So, a lot of people change their lives and grew up but at the same time, I feel like the Eazy-E character wasn’t all the way portrayed. This guy from the streets, he the one [that] made the money, he had everyone behind him—that’s what I didn’t really feel it was really portrayed. It was a great movie, but that’s just my opinion.”

On How His Story is Different:

My movie’s going to be forreal. The struggle, the pain, and the success. I turned down a million dollars with Jimmy Iovine. I only had $500 and had to go back to the projects. —  They offered me a million dollars but its the Michael Jordan deal—I’m signing my life away. They didn’t really know me. I said if they offered me a million dollars, than I’m worth 40.

Saving Snoop Dogg’s Life:

I feel like I saved Snoop [Dogg’s] life. He went through some things and I feel like he was the best talent that I knew in the world—but when I talked to him, he wasn’t in a good place. Suge [Knight] was about to sign him with another label and I was like ‘my money don’t speak.

His Encounter With Suge Knight:

When I first moved to LA, I got that call from Suge. I was like ‘Dog you do better to talk to me in person.’ He was like, ‘LA ain’t big enough for all of us.’ I was like ‘I just bought a house, I ain’t moving, when you moving.’

Why He’s Calling The Movie ‘King of the South’:

When I five years old and I was in Kindergarten, I was the king of the school. My teacher said, “bright eyes you going to be a star” so I always used that.

On Allegations of Him Pistol-Whipping Pimp C:

With Pimp, I never talk about none of that stuff. He dead, his momma dead. You ain’t never heard me sit around and talk about [it]. Maybe she know some of the story, maybe she know none of the story. I’m not about to talk about to someone that can’t defend themselves. He knew what he did was wrong. He apologized for it. I say two mountains may never meet but two men will.
