Long before he had time to dabble in DANCING WITH THE STARS, Percy Miller, better known as Master P, was putting in serious work moving units, and making New York heads take notice of the New Orleans scene for the first time. From its clever Eric B-beatjacking opener and the rough-edged soul of "I Miss My Homies" to the infectious thump of "Make 'Em Say Ugh" and P's trademark grunts, GHETTO D is an epic album whose triple-platinum success marked the arrival of the Dirty South as a true force to be reckoned with. To celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2007, P re-released GHETTO D with four bonus tracks. No Limit soldiers Silk the Shocker, C-Murder, Mac, Fiend, Kane & Abel, and Mia X are featured. Master P has done it again, without the support of mainstream American media. Over the years, the South coast king has managed to put out a lengthy catalog of Gangsta rap albums (including 4 of his own) on his No Limit record label. Debuting at #1 on the Billboard album charts, GHETTO D proves that street music can actually come from the street. With GHETTO D, Master P once again delivers authentic gangsta hip-hop. The lyrics are as raw as always, but Master P has stepped up the production a bit. Representing the South as Biggie did the East and 2Pac did the West, Master P has molded himself into one of hip hop's most powerful figures.

Entertainment Weekly (9/19/97, p.84) - "...though the Louisiana-based rapper's sensitive side peeks through...most of GHETTO D is just as offensively infectious. Guaranteed to raise C. Delores Tucker's blood pressure to dangerous levels." - Rating: B The Source (10/97, p.174) - 4 Mics (out of 5) - "...In little less than a decade, P has taken his company from a small mom-and-pop record shop to a multimillion dollar record company, turning out one chart-topping release after another....P has released the tightest release in his company's short but prolific history..." Rap Pages (11/97, p.109) - "...The attraction to Master P's art is undeniably underground ghetto, which is why he is loved by so many and steadily gaining new fans....Master P hijacks the best aspects of pop culture, ghettoizing it with that No Limit touch..."

Rivaling Sean "Puffy" Combs for the title of Most Visible Rap Mogul, rapper Master P (born Percy Miller) ran the No Limit label, was a player with the Charlotte Hornets, and put out films such as the comedy I GOT THE HOOK-UP. Responsible for exporting New Orleans-styled synth-rap (analog synth melodies, frenetic, bouncy rhythms) to the whole of the United States, Master P's No Limit label was at one point synonymous with Southern rap. Never quite topping the strength of his debut GHETTO D, Master P has been plagued with financial and legal problems since the late '90s.
