Can somebody, like a gangster rapper - have SERIOUS Pow wow with MP and let him know it is okay to dress for success, b/c there is a time and place for everything. He seems to dressing for himself and not for success with Dancing with the Stars which in turn will help the Katrina Victims... What kind of stiffnecked message is he sending to the youngsters?.... How can a pair of shoes change who he is as a rapper? He could have taken the shoes and said thanks but no thanks I will get a different pair of shoes that I feel comfortable with but will also fit in with Dancing with the stars. What about a nice flat casual swede loffa.. I swear they should have got snoop dog or someone who is versatile to replace Master P. He is not representing! Not at all. Also take off that damn hat. Iam a dread locks and I don't cover up that much.. He can tie that hair back and a pony tail - keep his suit on straight and not stand in it like he has on jeans ! What a frigging mess and hurtful representation for all rappers, gangstas, ghetto brothers and sisters. Grow up Master P - maturity for surity.! It is just a pair of shoes for gansta sake... I bet 50cents could do it.
