Master P

I'm Bout It, Bout It!
Uhh

Born Percy Robert Miller (1967-), New Orleans Hip Hop entrepreneur Master P is respected for his industry success, And sometimes for his music. He is best known for his trademark Frankenstein Monster Grunt:

Uhh

His record label, No Limit, was extremely successful in the late 1990s, but crashed and burned at the Turn of the Millennium thanks in large part to the more polished Cashmoney label, another polarizing group. In 2005, Master P founded a new label, Guttar Music. No Limit was known for its incredibly minimalist production style, mixed with very gritty southern rap music. Which extended to Master P's film productions. At the time however the minimalist style was very appealing in the wake of overly produced and glossy Hip Hop spearheaded by Puff Daddy (called the shiny suit era). The label also produced several classic southern rap songs and albums. Master P (along with UGK, Eightball & MJG) and the label for all intents and purposes started the down south boom which eventually spread to Houston. Giving spot light to acts like DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click. A lot of the south's mainstream success can be traced back to the No Limit era.

Master P provides examples of the following tropes:

• Fight Fur Your Right to Party: The video for Make 'em Say Uhh involves someone on a basketball court in a gorilla costume.
• Grief Song: "I Miss My Homies".
• Homage: The grunt actually might be inspired by Sgt. Apone from the film Aliens.
• Narm: Any time Master P groans like a constipated Frankenstein Monster.
• Real Life Relative: In Romeo!, Master P makes occasional guest appearances as the father of the title character, played by his son Li'l Romeo.
• Three Chords and the Truth: Master P is known for his simplistic production style. The truth? Not so much.
• Verbal Tic: "Unnngh!"
