No limit songs in name only? :mjgrin:


Have a good weekend my brother.

It ain't no way you're listening to "Lay Low", "B Please", or "Whats My Name Pt. 2" and thinking they sound like typical NL songs especially in comparison to "Down 4 My N's". They are No Limit songs because the Tank appears on the back of the albums.

What?

Both those albums have like three songs combined that are really No Limit songs. The rest sound nothing like a No Limit record. This is when Snoop returned to his West Coast roots and kept the No Limit features and sound to a minimum. Snoop even changed his album covers.

The titles of each album let you know who’s label

You know what, nevermind lol

Those songs were not No Limit songs. They didn't sound like No Limit songs. There's a huge difference between Snoop's first album on No Limit and No Limit Top Dogg. He even changed the cover of the album:

no limit was flabby by then outside of tru, fiend and when that 504 dropped... 3 6 was on the coming up.


'98 was no limit's biggest year by far.
that run changed the landscape of hip-hop as we know it.

I was a 3-6 mafia fan, but TBH, outside of the south, 95% of their fans were weirdos. they were never a factor. at least outkast had the backpacks & incent-burners.:laugh:



Breh...


No Limit didn’t fizzle out until 2004. I gave you the list, you can’t move goals to fit your perspective..

Those songs range from 99-03


@JustCKing has something against no limit.

I don't know what it is, but hes always downplaying.

its crazy to me, because if it wasn't for no limit, barely anybody would care about the rappers coming out of his city for the past 20 years, outside of JD's coast-less wave.


I didn't duck anything. I'm not about to respond to a wall of rambling just to repeat what I've already posted.


you have no problem regurgitating the same ole chit any other time.:whistle:

I just be noticing how cats like to dip off into other side-topics when the numbers begin to even up.


"Choppa Style" was cool, but again nothing huge. That song is "Ooh Wee" and "Tight Whips" level.

:scust:nikkaz in here hyping up chopper style? One of the worse songs in city history


lol @ 'choppa style' not being huge.

15 years later, and I still hear that song being played weekly, and I'm all the way on the other side of the country, and residing in one of their weaker market cities.

I remember us saying it was a weird period back then in real time. We’d never seen any superstar on that level get killed. Let alone two. No Limit was releasing shyt every week which was unheard of. Deathrow fell off. Puff was making albums. The Bootcamp changed up their whole sound. Nas’ music started to fall off. And the underground started to come up. Not to mention all the new stars. Mase, DMX, Pun, Jay, and Canibus.


I see what youre saying about the bolded.

the other half is just people falling off and new stars taking their spot.

what was weird to me, was how '98 felt like three different years in one. the winter felt completely different from the spring, which was way different from the fall, altho the summer served as a median.

Any examples of what you mean? Just curious.

That's exactly what made 98 weird tho. It was like hip hop was looking for its identity again

1998 = The Most Underrated Year In Hip-Hop History

the winter was always the layover from the previous year. so it was mostly about bad boy, wutang, mo thugs, no limit, refugees, firm flop, etc.

by the spring, no limit took over as the top label and even has the east coasters coppin(or bootlegging) their albums twice a month, which spirals into the southern market as a whole becoming a thing and basically taking the west coast's spot. meanwhile the new generation is taking center stage on the east coast, with ya man X changing the landscape completely, while cannibus getting spins on BET's biggest show for 2nd round knockout.:ohmy:

by the summer, the old guard on the east has officially taken a backseat. along with the old guard on the west, but the west didn't produce any new stars. while the south flag is firmly in place for good. master p went from having banned videos/movies to a glossy VMA performance and he saves snoop's career.

by the fall - lauryn hill becomes the queen of urban music. jay-z blows up to the moon and jarule is introduced on what is really his song low-key. DMX is THEE MAN and hes about to drop a movie too. the new generation is in full swing on both the east AND south. a flood of other labels and artists are beginning to come up from the south behind no limit, including these other guys out of new Orleans. some old drunk named juvenile that keeps patronizing me after every half-bar.
