looks like he’s on his way to becoming a mini magic johnson

Awww Percy Miller that is a beautiful thing!

I used to love me some Master P..and after hearing this I still do!

Not only does Master P look DELICIOUS he also has a good heart!!! Thumbs up to you Percy!!

Finally…a reason to respect the guy.

Glad that he’s a changed man!

That’s how a grown man is supposed to dress. Tired of seeing rappers with their pants around their thighs.

I ALWAYS KNOWN THERE WAS SOME GOOD IN MASTE P, THERE IS SOME GOOD IN ALL OF US. I AM SURE THAT GOD WILL BLESS MASTER P, ALL I CAN SAY IS CONTINUE TO DO THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE YOU ARE BLESSING SOMEONE WITH A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD.

Percy Miller; he has completely out grown Master P.

Just work on self sustainability in these communities.

After the homes I would start with vegetable gardens; charter schools; and a renewable energy resource be it solar, wind, or water.

And for god sake please organize the criminal element.

this is off topic but is the title of this article missing a word between “houses” and “new orleans”?

don’t believe dis fool its all hype dis cat never did nuthin for N.O. never, he ain’t as real u think woo shady !

FREE C-MURDER.

Yum, Percy Miller is beautiful inside and out !

I hope they don’t rebuild the actual housing projects.

First of all @ assofjane, did you not read the post, they are not rebuliding the actual housing projects, they are rebuliding affordable housing, which means the former residents will have a future! and hats off to him for having the heart and wisdom to do this! he is putting his money where his mouth and heart is!

I’m impressed. Good going Percy this is a better look.

you gotta respect percy he’s a self made man family first handles his business got his grown man on(pulled up his pants, and knew when to stop rappin) still with his black wife of forever encouraged his child to get educated over the spot lite alot of this agin rappers could learn from him and ice cube much respect

Oh, I like the polished, yuppie look on Mr. Miller… very nice.

@kinghandsome Everything you said is TRUE, plus his wife is ugly. The End.

Good news. Much respect.

That’s cool what P is doing, but why does he look like Carlton Banks from the Fresh Prince!!! Nicca’s wit money love too do what white people do.

Godd black man helping blacks instead of putting blacks folks down like these idiots on here~!

I have to admire this man. This is how a grown man with money should conduct himself. And of course he is still with his wife. She is his QUEEN!! Was there before all of the fame and forture. I HATE STUPID BLOGGERS!

I think that What Master P is doing i”s all good” as long as he deviates like ideas of yesteryears in building crime infested high-rise apts. where families are stacked on top of each other and forced to live in a crime infested environment. The new idea now is to tear down such dwellings integrate people of different income levels or build low-income dwellings that are side-by-side such as townhomes. No reason that innocent families should feel trapped in these crime-invested section 8 type buildings. Having simple town homes are the way to go! It allows for individuality. Families feel more in control and not stacked on top of each other or running into criminals or danger in elevators or stairways. Moreover, children can come home from school and into the safety of their own homes and criminal activities or such households can be easily identified and eliminated, sparing those who have hope for a better future with their families. Master P will not be helping the community if he resorts to investing in some low income high-rise building that is often riddle with crime and criminal. Most states are beginning to tear down these types of dwellings. Get a clue Master P. You do not want your legacy attached to such.

All the Saints showin’ out now! WHO DAT! Go head P, I’m proud of him for trying to bring back the Black folks to N.O. The city is not the same without us. They got Chinese people runnin’ Cafe du Monde in Jackson Square now, the place looks like a low rent Chinese buffet now, and the chicory coffee tastes terrible! Next they need to bring back the Cajuns that used to run that place!

I always knew he was destined for greatness!!! YESS!!!!

LOVE THIS GUY! THATS WHY LIL ROMEO IS SO WELL GROUNDED AND IN COLLEGE AT A UNIVERSITY ON A ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP

A REAL HIP HOP PIONEER!

P and his son look almost identical in this photo.

Big up’s to P always a stand up guy.

congrats to P! but please make sure they have some type of programs where the residents can constantly be in pursuit of bettering themselves, like education with a certificate or a trade so they won’t get trapped into the “project” mentality. let it be a revolving door – stay for a short period of time and transition to a small house or condo that is totally on their own that they can afford.

It seems like many of the posters on this board have many innovative ideas.
I pray they find the power to become proactive in implementing their good ideas for the larger society.

Let me give you all a major clue about tricknology:

If the HOUSING PROJECT was gonna do all the wonderful stuff you guys wish and hope (insert “celebrity”) is gonna do… Then that outcome would be the headline.

Now what was the headline, again?

Redefining Keeping It Real,
Your Friend,
-Ogechi

He looks like a black Mr. Rodgers..

love you master

I was about to say good for Percy and the community…

Then I saw this comment, ” but if he was being innovative, he wouldn’t create yet ANOTHER HOUSING PROJECT”, and I would have to agree….

However, unfortunately, have nots can’t be choosy and if they want, need more out of life, perhaps they, themselves should upgrade out of the housing projects, they work hard and get up out of there…

Noone says that blks (or whatever background for that matter) have to live in the ghettos. Just cause you start out there, doesn’t mean that you have to stay there…That’s where good ole self-reliance, self-determination, goal-setting and working extra hard come in…But hey, I guess that’s only if you don’t like your surroundings, you go harder, to do better, to get farther…

just sayin though, at least someone besides Brad Pitt is helping rebuild…I don’t see the residents themselves doing too much… But , I wish the best for Louisiana….And I also hope they don;t rebuild all those wards..

Wow he looks good. And he’s doing positive things.
I’m loving that new look on Master P.

Uh…*ahem*, why would he want to rebuild the projects? Especially the **insert any housing name here** houses in New Orleans? Are black people the only people in this nation who spend generations and generations in the projects? Immigrants who come here repeat the same cycle: Live in squalor and projects, the next generation does better and gets out. Why do we continue to inhabit projects and ‘houses’?

Black people, we got to do better…

This never makes the news uh…..Pity
God bless their hearts.

Isn’t New Orleans going to be destroyed by the next hurricane???

People need to relocate to a safer location.

white male

i agree…i would not move back,knowing new orleans is one big fish bowl.

big ups to master P…we need more brothers like you today.

and i hope their not rebuilding the same projects again,cause nothing would change. different people,same toilet???

FINALLY, something worth commenting on, GOOD JOB MASTER P, you are once again proving that t you are a real man. “OUR” whole community needs more men like you.

“Make crack like this”

Good for him.

Actually you are dead wrong!!! The economics of housing favor high rise projects. The movement of tearing down projects for “townhomes” means that INEVITABLY that the number of housing units will be reduced and the density which would make the housing more affordable will also be reduced. That means that ONLY through public housing programs like section 8 could the poor POSSIBLY live in the inner city. Then you get elected officials running on no new taxes and guess which program gets cut first. So blacks are forced out of San Francisco.. Chicago.. New York.. New Orleans and as much as people want to talk about nicer low rise housing… there is no economic way to keep impoverished or lower income blacks in the city while a hostile government fails to subsidize them.

If Master P is helping to preserve project housing in New Orleans.. he is doing the right thing. Let’s see low rise housing built on new sites to ADD to the housing stock, but keep high rise public housing and reform it. Don’t make it so that ONLY poor people live there. Also reconnect the projects to the city streetscape. Don’t keep them as isolated parks. Restore the street and movement of traffic through these projects so people can reach the streets again and get back into the life of their city. Project housing housed the white working class in the 30s 40s and 50s and gave them the first leg up on their home ownership by giving them densely populated low cost housing. It can do the same for blacks but first we’ve got to re-establish our poor blacks as a workforce and then you’ll see that high rise housing is a real benefit and not a blight!

This is wonderful…and on a another note he is looking FINE!!!! Yummy!

Wow, another set of PJs for the hopeless to go and hustle and shoot each other. Not knocking the effort, just the idea. This is no theory, on whats going to happen, it will happen. First they are for unwed mothers, then “Raheem” gets out the pen, and needs a place to stay. Then he needs some money, so he sells a lil crack out front. Then somebody shoots at Raheem, for encroaching on turf. Lets do better. We cant let the bums make this a return to the days of old, or they’ll wash your asses out again. Always keep in mind, they could build those walls so high, that it would block out the sun in the lower 9th. That is if they wanted to ensure this NEVER “happened” again. They didnt. They are basically the same height as b4. Why? Thats up for speculation. But if P’s projects are anything like the days of old, that 100 yr storm, may appear again, in 2011

I’m so proud of Master P. He has grown not only as a person but as a man. May God continue to Bless him.

Master P is a changed man and I glad he realized he needed 2 grow up. I wish alot more rappers would do da same.

PERCY GOOD JOB! NOW WALL STREET NEEDS TO GIVE HIM A SPOT. HE GOOD MONEY, GO FORWARD BLACK MAN AND STAND UP FOR YA PEOPLES! I WISH YOU GREAT SUCCESS….

this is so positive! kudos to you Percy Miller!!

You guys are dummies, Percy’s heart aint that big.
