Lets revisit No Limit's historic 1998

[Alvin]

Nah Kane & Abel are out for a while. There were pictures of em with the oldschool NL soldiers at Magic's funeral

Left to right: V-90, Mr Serv-On,? Lady, Mia X, Montez/Yella (in the back. Monica's brother who's on TRU Records), Monica, Fiend, Kane & Abel

V-90 known goon

 

[OHSNAP!]

meant to say he wasn't on the album that much bc he was in prison, he was only on the intro song

Nah he was on Come & Get Some with Prime Suspects as well

C was locked up in 95/96 afaik

 

[OHSNAP!]

Man you didn't like that Mo B dikk album??

I use to burn the shyt outta these songs...still do




They dropped some quality heat over the summer with that Fiend album but I can recall, Fiend album came out around the time Hot Boys - Guerrilla Warfare dropped, I wanna say on the same day and that was the most anticipated album that summer. I remember posters being everywhere in the city for that album to drop, and at that time CMR was rolling hard in the city and picking up steam around the country. Ppl still fukk'd with NL but that Hot Boys album to me put the nail in the coffin for NL. That Guerrilla Warfare album took over the city that summer smh. That shyt was pure heat and the track B.G. Help where he took shots at NL didn't make it no better.

Side note: What every happened to the LIl Soldiers? didn't they come out with an album.

P just lost his focus and felt he could put that music part on auto-pilot, he had Serv-on making decisions and putting together projects..not saying Serv-on was a bad dude or anything but P wasn't there to oversee the projects that were coming out.

I did feel he was trying to push his artist to create their own record labels which snoop, fiend, c, and others did.

As you stated, those albums Silk, and P put out felt rushed and the creativity wasn't there...I think they felt at that time, they could put out anything and it would sell of the strength of their names

U misunderstood, I wrote Mo B had a decent album! Twas a lil different from the usual NL formula too which was refreshing. Liked the songs with Fiend, the one with Mac, the one with Sons Of Funk, Bout It Part 3 and some of the slow jams

Yeah everyone and their momma abandoned NL bit by bit in 99 and ran over to Cash Money (who were putting out great albums), damn shame, but P made alot od wrong moves in 99 and this was the logical conclusion. Only God Can Judge Me only went gold... His 97 and 98 albums went 3x and 4x platinum

Pretty sure Priority (Bryan Turner, known from the NWA movie) forced them to churn out as many albums as possible too, and P obvsl liked those checks well enough to overlook the time issues. That's why Lil Soldiers, No Limit Allstars, Lil Italy albums came out

Lil Soldiers album did come out, had some really good beats, but what can you expect from a 7 and 9 year old rappin'? Obvsl their father Short Circuit (aka Freedom) helped pen their shyt, but it is what it is

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I was actually waiting on the Short Circuit and even D.I.G. albums but y'all are right, 99 was a totally different feel from No Limit, and Cash Money truly was taking over for the 99 and the 00

 

[bigrodthe1]

meant to say he wasn't on the album that much bc he was in prison, he was only on the intro song

even with that quote he dropped Bossalinie in 99, Trapped in crime '00, and cp3.com in '01
when the hell do you think he was in jail

 

[dizzy4111]

great thread

 

[seanDON]

I think P made the Forbe's List that year and in 99..

P wasn't playing lol..

Looking back, I didn't even feel that he dropped that many albums in that year.

I really want P to or someone off the tank to discuss their contract deal...how they were paid etc.

It definitely felt like he was dropping every damn week! Lol in the back of almost every source ...or whatever hip hop mag....all you saw was a damn NO LIMIT ad in that graphic pixel set up lol

 

[NO-BadAzz]

I really think that 98 run may have been the greatest run in Hip Hop History.

Silk was even on that Mya moving on video shyt that dude was on Monday Night Raw Wrestling or some shyt man them dudes had the game on lock..and let's not talk about the NL soundtracks to I got the hook up and Foolish.

What's yall take on Magic's album - Sky's The Limit (RIP)

I

 

[NO-BadAzz]

I remember Mystikal being on Apollo and he really didn't get house like talking about, I wonder if YT has that footage, but there was I wanna say 1 or maybe 2 dudes in the front row bucking to that dude's music LOL...I mean they were the only ones really feeling his music that night...

They have the footage of him performing Danger but he was on Apollo when Unpredictable dropped. I remember because my ppl was tuned in for that show.

1st time seein this one here...Dude rocked that bih

 

[NO-BadAzz]

Man when P dropped Ghetto D, smh
Ppl forget how this dude had the game on fukking LOCK....Drop you shyt when NL was dropping there's when they was on that run...psshhh

Mystikal kilt that bytch smh

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Didn't this man P play for the charlottes Hornets

 

[Crayola Coyote]

23 albums in 98. That's an album every 2 weeks.

I remember nikkas in school buying the albums just becuz they was No Limit. nikkas they never heard of or heard a song from and they was automatic first day cop. shyt was crazy.

So Wayne on some master P shyt with his mixtapes back in 2004-07

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Beats by the Pound and KLC must've been in the studio 24/7 back then.

And none of their beats really sounded the same.

This is whats insane to me..They were solely handling the production for those No Limit albums..The entire albums

I would love to hear a interview of them talking about their recording process during that time

Check out Mo B dikk's interview when he was on B High..he explains the process...really good information

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

a lot of them shyts was doo, but you could put together a great best of cd

i MADE a couple of large no limit playlist that are straight fire.
One of them consists of songs from 96'-01'
Got hundreds of dope songs in it. Them nikkas was doing it
