Del.icio.usMaster P
Master P's debut album was The Ghetto Is Trying to Kill Me; it was followed by a compilation of No Limit artists called West Coast Bad Boyz. No Limit launched a string of hits, popular among mainstream audiences in spite of critical cries of a watered-down sound. Master P's own solo albums include 99 Ways to Die, Ice Cream Man, Ghetto Dope and Da Last Don. Master P then financed two films, I'm Bout It and I Got the Hook Up before trying to return to basketball. He returned to music with 1999's Only God Can Judge Me, followed by Ghetto Postage and Game Face. In April 2004 Master P released a 2cd album Good Side Bad Side, which in a sense marked a return to the gangsta rap genre of the early days of No Limit Records. This 2 cd album was released under the New No Limit Records banner, distributed by Koch Records.
He is also the brother of his labelmates C-Murder and Silkk Tha Shocker.
Master P has since gone on to have his own flavor of rapsnacks potato chips: platinum barbecue.
As well as rapping, Master P played a supporting role in Hollywood Homocide as the owner of a nightclub, and has appeared in several other films.
