At one time these guys were cranking out top 10 or 20 Billboard albums on the weekly. I know it was a different time and everyone sold albums back then but not to the extent that No Limit did. The obscure artists like Big Ed (RIP) Mr. Serv On and others were cranking out gold and platinum albums. They were outselling labels like Bad Boy and Def Jam back or damn close back then. Who the hell way buying these album cuz i dont have any of my old No Limit music and don't no anyone else who does. And on another note out of the artists why did their most talented (Mac) one end up in jail for murder. I think Mac would have blown up eventually with the way the South ended up taking over.
How did No Limit do it?

IMO, they had some very underrated talent (Mac, Fiend, Mia X, Slim, Mystikal) along with probably the most underrated producers of all time. BBTP consistently produced quality tracks, Im sure it was over 300 songs. P and C were the first real dope boy rappers and and dope boys in the south ate that up as well. I know there were other rappers making music about the dope game but No Limit personified the 90's dope boy in the south between 96-98.
When your set up like no limit,releasing all those albums in that time fashion will destroy your longevity....
The consumers never "connected"with no limit even though they sold records...
The smaller cash money was able to do that...

Yeah those ones u named were talented artists and would have shined regardless. But i wonder if them releasing all them albums stopped guys like Fiend from blowing like he should. When a different artist releases an album every week it's easy for the ones with talent to get lumped with the other ones.

Yeah, me and my friends all the time used to say if Mac was on another label he would have blown. Fiend too. P just treated everybody like factory workers.
Fiend actually has written for alot of artists so his work was well known outside of No Limit. As far the rest of the crew, P over-saturated the market with his brand, but it was so dominant and entertaining that he sold more than any other mogul...
dude is plain and simple, the best hustler in the game...period.

anyone who says they weren't putting out 90% trash is riding the nostalgia wave
best No Limit albums were Top Dogg and Tha Last Meal, because Snoop Dogg was allowed to use his own producers and do what the fukk he wanted
