Master P (Percy Robert Miller) is one of my favorite people! He goes by the name P. Miller now. He became a salesman at 16. He was in college 4 two years. He created a label called No Limit after he became a rapper. He also opened a record store which had the same name. He was an NBA player for a spell. He is an author, actor, filmmaker, philanthropist, and investor. He has a big family.
Early Days
He was born in 1970. His parents divorced when he was young. He was raised by his pops with the rest of his siblings. They were very poor, so "the refrigerator stayed empty." When he was a senior in high school he sold cell phones throughout the neighborhood. He went to the University of Houston and played for the basketball team there. He dropped out when he was a freshman. Then he went to Merritt Junior College in California. He studied business there for 2 years. His grandfather died and he got a $10,000 from a malpractice settlement. He used the $ to open a record store called No Limit. Then he created his own record label called No Limit. His label became very famous in the late 90's. Snoop Dogg joined the label after he left Death Row.
Master P & the NBA
He played for the Charlotte Hornets in 1999. Over 15,000 people came to see him play. He was fired because he was a gangsta rapper. He may have played one game with the Toronto Raptors. He was good at playing basketball, but he wasn't NBA material. He lacked the fundamentals. If he had the fundamentals he would have been a great NBA player.
