4Percy Robert Miller (born April 29, 1970), better known as Master P, is an American musician and businessman. He is respected for his industry success, and ''sometimes'' for his music. He is best known for his trademark [[Film/YoungFrankenstein Frankenstein Monster Grunt]]: "[[CatchPhrase Uhh]]."

6His record label, No Limit, was known for its incredibly minimalist production style, mixed with very gritty Southern rap music. It was extremely successful in the late 1990s and produced several classic Southern rap songs and albums, its minimalist style being very appealing as an alternative to the [[GlamRap overly-produced and glossy hip-hop]] spearheaded by the likes of Puff Daddy (known as the "shiny suit" era). However, it crashed and burned at the TurnOfTheMillennium thanks in large part to the rise of the more [[GlamRap polished]] Cash Money Records, another polarizing group, as well as Master P's failed attempts to broaden his horizons into film and [[Wrestling/{{WCW}} pro wrestling]]. He would star in a Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} sitcom with his son Romeo [[ProtagonistTitle titled]] ''Series/{{Romeo}}'' that ran for three seasons. In 2005, Master P founded a new label, Guttar Music.

8Master P (along with Music/{{UGK}}, Eightball, & MJG) and No Limit, for all intents and purposes, started the "Dirty South" era in hip-hop. While Southern rap had roots going back quite some time before, No Limit gave spotlight to acts like DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click. A lot of Southern rap's mainstream success can be traced back to the No Limit era.
