This review is from: Ghetto D (Audio CD)

Master P's Ghetto Dope is a regional and underground classic. Despite what haters and non-listeners (people who hear one radio song and hate on the whole cd) believe, Master P could rap in 97 and any time prior to that. His success was a double edged sword. On one hand he was getting paid major bucks and achieved legendary fame and worldwide presence. On the other hand his music fell off badly and had to rely on weak gimmicks and fads to sell records. This album came right in the middle. To many its just the album that fathered the controversial and love/hate song Make Em Say Uggh and horrible in all its qualities. Others see it as a great album but the beginning of the decline of No Limit Records. I am part of the latter group. To me this is the last great No Limit album.

While a little on the long side,19 tracks, this cd is an engaging listen and is easy to digest. Some of the soldiers of the tank contribute such as Mia X, Mystikal, Mac , C-Murder, Fiend and the horrible Silkk Tha Shocker. Pimp C of UGK also puts in work. Standout songs include the title track, Lets Get Em (hard a$$ song), the classic and mellow I Miss My Homies, Plan B, Weed & Money, Captain Kirk, Stop Hatin, Eyes On Your Enemies, Going Through Some Thangs, Burbons and Lacs.

I can see why some people say he is a Pac imitator because the song Trying 2 Do Something sports the same beat as Bury Me A G, and both of the choruses have the same type of melody to them. However it is not really noticeable unless you really listen and thus isn't disgraceful like Ja Rule's awful remake of the classic Pain song. Burbons and Lacs could very well be the best No Limit song EVER on any of their cds. This track is straight dope and bumps very nicely. This song is a masterpiece and I love it.

Overall you should try and invest in this if you have the scrilla. A good place to start if you wanna hear some good No Limit music. He has more melody and grooves then his newer stuff so don't expect a garbage album. Buy It as quickly as you can.

This review is from: Ghetto D (Audio CD)

As Death Row Record's and Gangsta Rap were descending into Hip Hop History in the mid-late 90's following the death of 2Pac, Master P and his No Limit Record's became the lifeline for thugs in the ghettos of the south. Eventually spreading throughout America through constant MTV airing of GHETTO D's "I Miss My Homies" and "Make Em Say Ugh" and even becoming a haven for ex-Death Row West Coast supperstar and washed up Gangsta Rapper Snoop Dogg. Using the formula of remaking 80's Pop hits into rap songs pioneered by Puff Daddy (who's Bad Boy Record's was the other hot record lable of the mid-late 90's even after the death of Notorious B.I.G. with such acts as Mase, Lil' Kim, The Lox, 112 and himself), Master P added a thug element that sharply contrasted Puffy's flashy, baller hits. Master P used subject matter and at times the flow influenced by Scarface and 2Pac never varying from stories about life in the ghetto. But P told these stories convincingly even if lacking in creativity. The majority of the rappers on No Limit really couldn't rap any better than the average hustler on the corner making it seem as if you were really at a party in the projects of New Orleans and everyone was just taking turns freestyling. Silkk The Shocker, C-Murder, Mystikal, Snoop Dogg, Mia X, Kane and Abel, Mr. Serv-On, Fiend and pretty much every one else on the No Limit roster take turns passing the mic on just about every song on the album. Beats By The Pound create (or recreate 80's) beats that are laid back West Coast style but have that New Orleans' bass heavy bounce like on "Make Em Say Ugh" that later influenced Mannie Fresh of Cash Money and Lil' Jon. "Ghetto D" samples Eric B. and Rakim's "Eric B. Is President" only replacing "make 'em clap to this" with "make crack like this" and pulls it off really well introducing a new generation of rap fans to a classic beat ten years later. Other Southside ghetto classics like "Stop Hatin", "Gangstas Need Love" and "Burbons And Laces" make this a great CD that kept the Gangsta Rap genre on life support after Pac. While far from being a groundbreaking album, GHETTO D is the crown jewel for any fan of No Limit.
