...question now is this: Will Master P be a good influence or a bad one? Will he be Snoop's Obi-Wan Kenobi or his Darth Vader? Certainly, Master P lacks no talent in the marketing department. In a few short years he has built impressive brand identity, and every few weeks a new No Limit album by a previously little-known performer debuts in the upper reaches of Billboard magazine's album charts. One of his slyest techniques is to include in his CDs--like his current solo album, MP Da Last Don--promotional materials for his other records...

He had just come home from a family vacation and had seen a copy of a book written by Guinness in 1996. What's more, he read an article in Time magazine which seemed to make it very clear that...

...trusting comrades, who in turn transmitted it to their comrades. In short, I am responsible for an entire community of people who are convinced that Alec Guinness, who is presently alive and well and living in a London suburb, actually bit it back in the late '80s. Obi-Wan Kenobi's dialogue with Luke in that memorable scene from Star Wars, as a result, had its unlikely effect on me: "Oh, he's not dead; not yet." Well, apparently...
