New Orleans
rapper/mogul Percy “Master P.” Miller has offered his thoughts
on the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Robots started
sawing through a six-inch pipe today (June 1st) in what BP has
labeled the Lower Marine Riser Package procedure.
Scientists and
engineers are hoping to cap the broken pipe that has leaked
millions of gallons into the Gulf of Mexico since an April 20th
explosion that killed 11 people and sent millions of gallons
gushing into the ocean.
“It’s
definitely something that’s another tragedy for our community,”
Master P. told AllHipHop.com. “[You] have to realize we have to
prepare for this but, you never know when something like the oil
spill will happen.”
According to
the latest reports, the oil will continue to leak into the Gulf
of Mexico until at least August, when relief wells are drilled.
Scientists
also believe that the oil also could wash up on the shores of
Alabama and Mississippi, because hurricane season starts this
week.
Master P.
surveyed the damages the delicate marshlands and hundreds of
miles of Louisiana coastline that has already been damaged by
the massive oil spill.
“It’s out of
control and it’s killing the animals and the business people
that do fishing in that area,” Master P. said. “People don’t
realize how this is it’s going to effect the entire country.”
Louisiana
senators are demanding at least $1 billion dollars from BP, and
that was just to further protect the marshes, wetlands and
estuaries in the area.
Officials
believe between 12-40 million gallons of oil have leaked into
the Gulf of Mexico. (6.2.10)

The shocking photos that appeared earlier this
week of a dramatically gaunt 50 Cent is just another example of the
extremes to which he’ll go to win. The G-Unit general lost the
weight for a role as a football player with cancer in the upcoming
“Things Fall Apart,” and he spoke to Cleveland’s Call and Post about
why the movie was worth the sacrifice. (5.29.10)
