Master P’s Ghetto D Album Anniversary

Master P’s album Ghetto D was released on September 2, 1997. Originally slated to be titled as Ghetto Dope, the name was shortened to the current title before the release due to the drug reference in the aforementioned title. The album would be one of Master P's biggest albums. The original album cover, which depicted a crack addict sitting on a curb and smoking from a glass pipe, was recalled from store shelves. It was promptly replaced by the collage style cover. The album debuted at #137 on the Billboard 200. In Its second week the album then moved to #1 on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums selling 260,000 copies in its second week. It was mainly on the strength of the two singles released; "I Miss My Homies" (US #25), "Make 'Em Say Uhh!" (US #22) became hit singles in the years 1997 and 1998. Read more about Master P here.
