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. |

- "...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: BThe 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..." |
