P was a marketing genius.... No Limit had shit sold-up, at least 3-4 Albums a month in stores... Pen and Pixel designs on damn near every CD that drop.... they were advertising that Mercedes Album for months.... I cop that shit with a heart beat, just off the Album Cover alone 
...
During those days people fell in luv with Mystikal and was coping damn near every No Limit albums that he was featured on...

too bad her album was garbage.
he fucked over all his artists except mia, mystikal, c-murder, and silkk.
the rest of em he just gave a nice advance....but he kept 100% of their royalties. they had to manage on show money....which hardly none of his other artists ever did.

Why would you of all people come into a thread labled
"No Limit Records Appreciation Thread"
I don't limit myself to a certain style of music.
Those ablums had already BEEN out for years when No Limit took over.
I bumped those classics along with,
Mobb Deep "Infamous", Smiff N Wesson "Da Shining", ODB "Return to the 36 Chambers" and about 100 other cd's.
Nobody else had trunk rattling/heavy bass beats I should have said.
I don't know where your from but in STL we like shit that sounds good in the ride even if the lyrics ain't that great.
Here goes Wendy Williams/Miss Jones again.... how do you know
he did all this shit? Dudes can be worst than Fox News and TMZ sometimes..... its a No Limit Appreciation Thread damn it!!
Dude that was like 95' 96' era. Trust me. I lived it I loved it.
The No Limit Records peek was in the late 90s. Not saying it was an upgrade to the aforementioned titles but it was crack like BGOL.
u crazy as hell.
Its a two way street...he should've gave cats new deals, but look at from P perspective: I took Magnolia Slim off the streets..bought him a crib, hooked him with a nice ride/rolex/wardrobe/ & put $60K in his pockets BEFORE he recorded his first album. So Slim records a southern classic, goes gold, but dude can't promote it cause he locked up on bs drug charges...slim get out. Records his follow up & gets locked up AGAIN when its time to promote it...it was a 50/50 deal. P overvalued his money & underappreciated the talent he had. Them niggas still made history
"to the next nigga talking bout we country & weak
I hope they moma catch cancer & die in her sleep"
--Mac
Here goes Wendy Williams/Miss Jones again.... how do you know
dont get mad cuz i know shit. if u would have read any hip hop magazines...Kane & Able aired that shit out when they left the label nigga.
Dubcnn: Now what about these ex-artists talking bad about Master P?
It’s ridiculous! They saying that he never did nothing for them, ripped them off and a whole bunch of other bullshit. Everybody that you saw that was on No Limit and you saw them with an album, then for sure they got a house and a car that was in their name; that was something that P did for everybody, guaranteed. Now what they did with their shit after that was on them. All they had to do was pay their taxes and keep their lights on and it was theirs. P ain’t got to baby-sit no grown ass n-ggaz! You ain’t have to pay for none of that, and it’s in your name! We saw who was selling on No Limit like P, Silkk, C-Murder, Sons of Funk, Mia X, Mack, Souljah Slim, etc. Those who wasn’t are the ones who are being really ungrateful. A gang of these cats would’ve never had a record deal had it not been for P. And he would say spend your money wisely, and I’ll see you on your next album. And me being from Richmond, I was like, I got this and I’m gonna bubble from this.
I took that house in Cali, flipped it to where I could get some money off it and started doing this real estate thing. So nobody can tell me nothing bad about P. P took me out of a mediocre situation, and put me in a situation where every day was like a Saturday to me. And I thank God for him to this day! I’ll tell you this, and I know somebody gonna have something negative to say about this, but when they show a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr, they need to have a picture of Master P right there too. Cuz he took about 40-50 brothers out the hood and gave them jobs, houses, and cars. Do you know somebody else who has done that? That’s the stuff they don’t report or tell. He’s one of the best cats on earth, man!

Months?! More like years!!!
To you, no.
But to the masses.
I'm not putting these Bamas in the likes of an ON or RAR but they had a stamp on the mainstream for a minute. That's unquestionable. Bu they had a thing going on.
GTFOH.... It's two sides to each story dumbo!! You are showing your true Wendy Williams and Miss Jones colors fruit pop.... Stop fabricating shit.... Its' a No Limit Appreciation Thread!!
If you didn't like No Limit at that time.... then this thread ain't for you Wendy
...
Nigga is selling 56 million records in 1 year is "only" having the "region" on lock...then I think you'd settle for that. Pun & Wu Tang would get laughed at in my city cuz. Niggas barely hit for Jigga. Need I remind you Ghetto D & Da Last Don has outsold about half of Jigga's catalog combined...

granted P. got them niggaz foot in the door.....too bad they didnt have enuff business savy to stay. alotta artist would rather rap the business than learn the business. and thats where alot of em goin wrong. cuz if it werent the case....they'd still be around now and would have dropped more than one album dont ya think?
No doubt. Good response.
But it's not P's responsibility IMO.
There's so much talent in hoods across every state. If you choose to endorse it and bring it to life, that doesn't necessarily make you an exploiter.
And I'm all for putting food in black children's mouths and P did that IMO. He put on artist, like another poster said, that would have never got on otherwise. That's a fact: "P ain’t got to baby-sit no grown ass n-ggaz!"
Man the fuck up disgruntled artists.
And on that note, I'll hit you with another NL classic:
[FLASH]http://youtube.com/watch/v/6RdAySXEqEE[/FLASH]
One
yo a whole load of that shit was garbage. I cant even attempt to listen to that shit any more. I think i listen to them because everybody else was and I was in N.O. Then Cash Money took over. I listen to BG. grew out of that shit too.
Nas and Wu-tang became my shit tho
I don't know about the other regions but in the south No Limit had it on lock! I remember No Limit started hitting hard my senior year in 1996. I remember TRU with "I'm Bout It" and Down South Hustlers with "Players from the South". Man that shit use to hit so hard in my car! Had 2 12" Kicker Comps in the trunk and it would damn near bust it open!
P also helped the other great southern rappers to get back in the limelight. With all of the guest appearances he had from UGK and 8Ball and MJG that helped keep their buzz up and give them new fans for when they dropped their next album. Remember UGK didn't put out and album for 4 years. Ridin' Dirty came out in 1996 and their next album Dirty Money didn't come out til 2000, but they had been on so much No Limit stuff that their buzz and anticipation was high. Same for 8Ball and MJG. Of course he brought Mystikal to the forefront. Even though Mystikal was talented and his first album had some bangers on it he was widely overlooked and not marketed right. Shit No Limit saved Snoop Dogg's career! After he came out with that bullshit Doggfather and the collapse of Death Row it was about to be a wrap for him! But he managed to get on the best thing smoking at the time and pull himself back up.
Of course Cash Money owes their success to No Limit. P brought recognition to New Orleans. I'm not saying that Cash Money would have never blown up, but I think it would have been much harder and longer if No Limit hadn't done it first. They had Juve's Soulja Rags and BG's Choppa City but they didn't blow off of those
No Limit did have its time, just like Death Row, Roc-a-Fella, and Wu-tang theirs.

I still have that article, it was in The Source mag back then....
Damn KG.
I see you on some propa shit but damn you hatin' hard on the NL tank.
NL is apart of black history IMO. Yeah, you have the spewing poison to the masses but they made a come up. You have to respect that at least.
Request, I wasnt a big No limit fan but what was te name of the song where he was like,
Imma ride for you homie Imma die for you homie, I put niggas to the test niggas to da rest still dont give a fuck nigga thats homie love.
I know i probably fucked that lyric up but I rememember the dude across the street from me when I was like 11 would take my for a ride in his Mustang GT 5.0 and would bang the hell out of that shit and I never knew what that song was.

I still play Ghetto D that was a classic. P was putting out a million sub par artists, having them hit gold without radio play and some of them didn't even have videos. The dude is a good businessman.
