For the generation who grew up bumping “Ice Cream Man” and watching I’m Bout It, it can still be jarring to see what Master P has transformed into over the last decade.

Whether you know him as the ultimate hype man for Public Enemy or for his ratings-busting VH1 show Flavor Flav keeps you interested.
