Them nikkas were a movement in ‘98, I remember vividly no limit was runnin the rap game along with dmx. They had their own style with dope production and dropped multiple albums every month that’s how they sold mad records

master p ice cream man album is what put him on the map nationally.then ghetto d is how he blew ice cream man was ‘96 & ghetto d late ‘97 and he carried the momentum into ‘98 when no limit blew but they fell off pretty quick like by mid/late ‘00 they were done cash money took over


they were moving crazy units thru the whole '97.

ghetto d was when us east coasters hopped on board. and thats when they kicked the doors down for the south.

so naw, their run wasnt quick. it was your standard length for a big run back then and they put out like a decade's worth of material. it wasnt quick. we were just late to the party up top cuz they had to be the ones to break the barriers.

thats why im laughing at these other dudes on here that think no limit was regional. or that ole pooky woopy made the south pop off before master p.

gold and 1x platinum was a failure in the 90’s.lol

now y’all trying to trash P lol

and all the double disc albums counted as two sales so just divide the number by 2 to see the tru sales figures.

YOURE THE ONE that brought up outkast out of nowhere - AS USUAL. and you keep pushing this chit on me, even after i told you repeatedly that im not in here to argue about no f*ckin outkast.

you dont want me responding to whatever bullchit props you try to give them, then dont try that chit in a thread that im already in. it aint nothing personal against outkast. i call a spade on everybody. thats my schtick.

im not even the only one that put you in your place about outkast. its usually other posters doing the bulk of the work, and theyre usually from the south.:laugh:

I was not the first to mention OutKast in this thread.

If you are not here to argue about Outkast why then are you going back and forth with multiple posters in a thread that has NOTHING to do with Kast. Additionally, you using the same bogus BS arguments to discredit them.

You're not calling a spade a spade, you are doing what you usually do: discredit Kast to prop up CMR and No Limit. You see Kast as "in the way", so the insecurity in you needs to downplay and discredit them.

Breh, you have ONE poster in here agreeing with you and that ONE poster also believes EVERYTHING on a Wiki page.


what the f*ck are you talking about??

you dont even attempt to comprehend what im saying before you argue, do you?? just throw some chit at the wall, and hope theres a couple other people arguing with me that will back you up.

im getting too old for this stupid chit.

Wait a minute, you make dumb statements like this:

im not even the only one that put you in your place about outkast. its usually other posters doing the bulk of the work

and then say

just throw some chit at the wall, and hope theres a couple other people arguing with me that will back you up.

^^^ all the while continuing to argue with multiple posters calling you out for the garbage you are posting.

I don't care if I get one dap or rep for my posts, but you seem to NEED people to co-sign your points. You sit here and talk about throwing BS at the wall and hope someone agrees when you just proved that is your M.O.

this place is bizarre

so now we're saying that snoop carried no limit.

and no limit sold because they had help from f*ckin Pimp C??:laugh:

weirdos.





yep

but thats coli counter-culture and internet revisionism. these dudes are on that type of time on here.

theres another thread where theyre saying that project pat dropped a better album than 400 degreez.

You can't make this shyt up Lol smh

I saw that 400 degrees thread and just said to myself that it has to be a lot of cats and cacs in there that just heard 400 in 2009 for the first time.

If you wasn't around to listen to these albums from CD players, your comment is not valid, if you had to wait and listen to any albums, full, not the singles that you heard on the radio but the entire album off Youtube or a streaming platform, I don't pay you no mind

I only read comment of those who had to listen to those albums/CDS or tapes through either a Pioneer CD player, or tape deck with 4 12x's or 4 6x9s, and 2 tweeters

This is what happened...
...when a artist pops a lot of things are working for them at the right time...
...at that moment in time, their sound, look, personality, etc... is perfect for the moment, and the public buys everything from them.

When P got his shot..he flooded the market with music...
...people bought it, and were into it...
...the problem is that most of it was trash.

Most people that bought a NL Cd were buying into No Limit...
...that that particular rapper who was featured on the album.

Thats why it died so fast...
...the sound, culture, society changed...and P really didnt have true dedicated fanbase.

Rappers that were talented beyond taking advantage of the No Limit moment went on to have decent careers (Snoop & Mystikal).

With that said...some of them tracks bring back crazy memories

No Limit had enough dope rappers on the roster at their peak. It died out cause of the decline and change in production, along with Cash Money’s rise bringing another sound.

This.

Plus to this day I'm convinced that Master P was laundering Money with the insane amounts he spend on marketing. Those two page advertisements in the Source and XXL were expensive.

we were just late to the party up top cuz they had to be the ones to break the barriers.

If you are conceding being late to the party, you can't say No Limit broke down the barriers. Just because No Limit was in their prime and at the forefront when you showed up at the party, doesn't mean they were the ones to break the barrier.

They broke down the barrier in being the first major down-south movement that got national and world wide exposure. Cash Money build on it and took over from them in '99 and by the early 2000's, the south was running the rap game.

I pretty much stated as much by saying before No Limit, The South didn't have an equivalent to a Death Row or Bad Boy. That isn't what he was saying though. Breh was out here talking about there was NO market in The South before P and that nobody cared about The South until No Limit.

if this aint a prime example...nikkas was anticipating this album for years and she wasnt on ANY NL albums. I dont think I knew what she sounded like until Its Your Thing dropped.

a decade after the fact, P had to check Charlamagne over this cover :mjlol:

She was featured on "Gangstas Need Love Too" off Ghetto D and "Thank You" from Unlady Like. She was also on "Down N Dirty" from the I'm Bout It Soundtrack. Outside of No Limit, she was featured on Master P's "Hit Em Up" off the Nothing To Lose Soundtrack.

:why:

youre a f*ckin dumbass.

do you even attempt to comprehend anything before you respond??

do you have any understanding of breaking barriers??? bringing people to the table late, locking them in for the long haul, and creating a domino effect for other non-affiliated artists to directly benefit is the personification of breaking barriers dummy.

you be in here looking stupid talembout "bu bu but 8ball & mjg and such & such":laugh: bringing up names that aint bust a grape. sure they moved units regionally. hell, master p himself was moving units with previous albums like ice cream man, before he broke the barriers down. that aint the album that did it tho.

im about to start putting you on ignore. youre becoming a nuissance.
look at this dumb chit below:

well being an equivalent to death row/bad boy is worlds beyond anything that the south had going on before that, dont you think??

you never left the south, so you wouldnt understand.

and thats fine. but know your limits, stay in your lane and stop arguing about chit that youre not qualified to speak on.


I was not the first to mention OutKast in this thread.

If you are not here to argue about Outkast why then are you going back and forth with multiple posters in a thread that has NOTHING to do with Kast. Additionally, you using the same bogus BS arguments to discredit them.

if you werent the first, you were the 1st one to mention them while tagging me.

outkast isnt in anybody's way. LOL. youre the one forcing arguments about them in a no limit thread.

YOURE the one always mentioning them in threads about other southern acts. you dudes know what youre doing, trying to boost them up. then you get mad when youre corrected on it and continue forcing the issue until another nerd jumps in and next thing you know im arguing with him too.:laugh: if you dont want this to happen, then stop bringing them up and forcing chit. i keep telling you i dont give a f*ck, but you follow it up with another essay, then want to hide your hands if i bother to respond(i dont even read or respond to half that chit, if you didnt notice).

my pet peeve with outkast is the revisionist history chit, which is my biggest pet peeve with anything in any forum. you should know that by now.
other than that, them dudes is nowhere near my mind homie. you got a problem with me, because you love them dudes and you wish they had that stamp from posters like myself and the other dudes that smack you around in these arguments. i dont know why you pretend that its just me.:laugh:


You can't make this shyt up Lol smh

I saw that 400 degrees thread and just said to myself that it has to be a lot of cats and cacs in there that just heard 400 in 2009 for the first time.

i realized its mostly the goof troop types, white folks, and also youngns who are more accustomed to the simplest form of rap.
thats pretty much the majority on rap forums these days.

dudes really out here rewriting history left & right on this board.

i used to like 3-6 mafia/hypnotized too, but they were never on that level. i cant even bring myself to listen to their chit anymore. people really ruin rappers for others.:heh:

look at this dumb chit below:

I comprehend well, you just stay making dumb statements. If you were "late to the party" that says nothing of what barriers No Limit did or didn't break. It means you weren't paying attention. Therefore, you shouldn't even be in this conversation because you didn't know. Just because you were sleep doesn't mean that people on the other side of the globe had already begun a new day.

well being an equivalent to death row/bad boy is worlds beyond anything that the south had going on before that, dont you think??

you never left the south, so you wouldnt understand.

and thats fine. but know your limits, stay in your lane and stop arguing about chit that youre not qualified to speak on.

Breh, that is not the same as "there was no Southern market" and you know that. The East Coast had a market long before Bad Boy Records was even conceived. The West had a market before Death Row.

if you werent the first, you were the 1st one to mention them while tagging me.

outkast isnt in anybody's way. LOL. youre the one forcing arguments about them in a no limit thread.

I don't always mention Kast in threads about Southern acts. Breh, you've never corrected me on Kast. Why are you arguing with multiple people about a group you said you don't even care to argue about? You have walls of texts talking about them and even quoted me in another thread bringing up this same subject.

LOL @ someone smacking me around in these arguments. You have ONE poster agreeing with you, yet you are in here complaining about being "smacked around" by other posters about the same subject.
