if you added 98 Lil Wayne and Turk to 98 No Limit Records...

[OHSNAP!]

Don't think P would have put them as solo artists, I could see them being in a group together.

Beats By The Pound beats wouldn't have registered well with Turk in my opinion. I still today haven't heard them rap over a BBTP beat (I am not 100% sure about this)

Mannie production brought out the worse artist because of the bass guitar and Mannie strings, most of Turk's best verses came off production with 'strings' and bass guitars riffs.

BBTP wasn't really heavy on the same sounds that Mannie used which was (to me) made BBTP production a much more darker, heavy (in a sense) production which catered more on your gangsta rappers.

Slim was a better fit for KL than Mannie, Slim was a gangsta rapper who wasn't about "polish" I think of Mannie production more so "polish" than BBTB production. More of a scrappy, edgy sounds, dark at times.

But nah I don't think it would have worked for them on NL

Disagree somewhat. Mannie had some dark or menacing beats too, whether on all the BG albums (Slim over that production would have fit perfectly), UNLV, 400 Degreez, and the pre-98 non-bounce stuff on CMR




But Slim or Mac didn't have nonstop dark shyt anyway, so Mannie production would have fit well with em anyway

You have to be stupid not to see what happened. Master P was telling nikkaz how to get paid and he str8 up said fukk the white man.. The white man then gave CMR 30m to sign a deal and they pushed the fukk out of it. How many albums on CMR were classics? They had decent albums... Juvenile carried them nikkaz til Wayne got old enough

Come on bruh, BG's Chopper City, both All On U and CIITG are southern classics 100%. Soulja Rags, 400 Degreez, Guerrilla Warfare too. People still talk bout these

 

[OHSNAP!]

Oh and for those that downplay Turk's talent

 

[OHSNAP!]

Turk would have got lost on that no limit roster.. he down there with Skull Duggery lol

Hell nah, come on. Hot Boys were better rappers/artists than P, Silkk, Skull, Hound, Gambinos, Prime Suspects (Uzi was underrated, RIP), Kane & Abel, Serv On, Big Ed, Ghetto Commission (Holloway n Spade were nice), Steady Mobb'n for sure

After that it's personal preference. Mac, Fiend, Mia, Slim n Mystikal are among the best rappers out NO ever

Lil Wayne at that point and time could've been decent to good with the right production same with Turk but neither have dropped solo yet I think they would've been a good duo tho but they fit better with CMR.

I'm in NY.. All them shyts were mid to me except 400 degreez, GW.. BG first album had like 5 joints.. Tha G Code was better than 400 degreez to me ..

shyt Charge it to the Game is better than any CMR album..

Pound 4 pound Silkk beating all them nikkaz ass

 

[28 Gramz]

Pound 4 pound Silkk beating all them nikkaz ass

I had the album so I'm not clicking none of them links. CI2DG ain't better than any of BG first 4 albums, Juveniles first 3, Both Hot Boyz cds or Big Tymers. The Block is Hot is the only one that's debatable and even then it would probably lose out.

Why does EVERY No Limit or (old-school) Cash Money thread become a versus?

Slim over UPT

The big tymers get your roll on flow was just used on the 21 savage album

They were doing 6 figures sales before the deal

Cash money's influence is heard all throughout the game today...

If you don't like them cool, but you just not being honest at all with this assessment

None of this has anything to do with anything though. I really don't care who is better brethren the two camps, but we can't act like Universal didn't look at what P was doing with No Limit and see potential in CMR especially since it was a high volume of local artists being broken by No Limit.

its a touchy topic. people get flashbacks of intense lunchroom table debates.

its inevitable.

Took the words right out my mouth

Turk n Weezy fit in perfect with CMR. Mac n Slim over nonstop Mannie beats = fuego. Imagine Hot Boys with a BG/Juve/Mac/Slim lineup in 97/98/99/00

that takes you from 3 teenagers, down to 1.

the party-hardy youth movement was half of their appeal.
the flashiness was the other half. youre not getting that with mac or slim neither.
and mac doesnt fit in with this group, nor the label in general. he was better off with no limit if they were gonna push him in '00-01.

i do think slim was a better fit for cash money, of course. he birthed them.
