Album Review: Master P

GHETTO POSTAGE
By DARRYL STERDAN



GHETTO POSTAGE
Master P
(No Limit / EMI)

When hip-hop mogul Percy Miller "retired" from rap to pursue his hoop dreams a coupla years back, he fulfilled an old show biz truism: Leave 'em wanting more. Then his b-ball career went nowhere, he came out of "retirement" a year later, and now he's validating another old show biz aphorism: Quit while you're ahead. Once the pioneer, architect and undisputed king of Dirty South gangsta rap, P continues the creative slide that began with '98s The Last Don and last year's Only God Can Judge Me, tossing off yet another batch of unmemorable rhymes about bee-yatches and gangstas and Scarface and soldiers and blah blah blah over another set of unmemorable, boom-boom-bap beats. Hell, he barely even says "Uhhhhhnnnnn!" anymore -- now his signature line appears to be, "Ya heard me?" Which is kinda like Little Richard trading his "Whoo!" for a "Yessiree!" Ghetto Postage just doesn't deliver.
