GHETTO BILL, VOL. 1 finds impresario/MC Master P in the process of restoring and reinventing the vast empire he built on simple concepts in the 1990s. Using stripped-down, undeniably catchy beats with hooks as unmistakable and huge as the diamond-studded tanks his No Limit label used as its emblem, practically every member of Master P's New Orleans clan earned platinum records. However, it was Master P himself who shone brightest in the No Limit world with his hearty and perfectly balanced mix of tight street anthems and arena-ready dance jams. While there are new touches and flourishes, GHETTO BILL, VOL. 1 sticks to the territory that brought hip-hop's ultimate hustler success. This proves a wise choice. If it isn't crystal clear on the unambiguous intro "Best Hustler," the bare-bones "Shut It Down" makes it plain that Master P hasn't changed, while reminding the world that he could turn a simple phrase (or even a grunt for that matter) into a Southern party long before crunk was the way of the world. By the time Young Buck shows up for the similarly infectious "Nappin'," Master P has wrapped up another chapter in the new No Limit story.
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.
