Lets revisit No Limit's historic 1998

[NO-BadAzz]

@NO-BadAzz
favorite beats by the pound producer?
what's your top NL album?
Opinions on Mia X?

Man, breh those are some good questions, but I gotta go with

Mac's - "Be all you can be", that was a well put together song and I like how BBTP had everyone in the right places on that song. Mac's verse being in the middle just took the song to another level and Moby dikk's candance/singing at the end just captured your soul. Fiend started off the song in the most profound way, and the way he set Mac up was just amazing. Silk's candance was ok, but the words in his verse was something to really ponder over, that's what made him to me stand out in that song.








Honorable Mention. I'd say "Swamp nikka" beat...P ate that one up


Top NL album - I will say Tru 2 Da Game for me.

Mia X, underrated, doesn't get her props, she held her own as the only female in the crew, She killed everybody on that Hot Boys and Hot Girls song, ppl would say Mystikal and he did his thang, but if you go back and listen to Mia X verse on that song..she gave me chills her style and harmonizing on that verse is what set it off...
Mia X was that chick, I was glad P looked out for her. I think her best songs came with her being up against everybody..when they all would get on one track, I think she did her best then...see "You don't wanna go to war"


What about you breh..same questions

 

[NO-BadAzz]

I recall whenever I and most cats that got a NL CD, I would first


1. Look for the Mercedes cover

2. Look to see who would be dropping the following 2 weeks



3. Look for the song that feature Mystikal cuz I knew that dude was about to light that shyt up

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

yeah all the bodyguards (Swoll, Big Mane, V-90, Big Man) were brutal really intimidating guys. Hot Boy Jimmy and Boz were very wellknown for their connections and tactics, dudes you wouldn't wanna mess with...Soulja Slim and his cousin Full Blooded and his Hounds, Prime Suspects, Gambino Family, Popeye, Steady Mobb'n, Skull Duggery and all the lesser known smaller NL acts were real headbusters and straight up killers

Always interesting to read shyt like this, can you elaborate more on those dudes ?
I know nl was full of street goons but are their any more stories from guys like steady mobbn etc. ?

That's stuff I read and heard in various interviews in the past 18 years, also different NO/BR posters on sites like wordofsouth and No Limit fansites

Reginelli touched down about 2 years ago, was locked up for a looong time. Malachi was locked up as well

Nobody knows anything about Lil Gotti, dude disappeared

Not sure if New-9 and Glock are even alive...

Full Blooded still in the streets of NO doing dirt

Skull had his charges...enough about that. Don't wanna see his chopper in my face lol

Popeye and DIG were/are fried as fukk apparently. I ain't talking bout weed...

Bavgate and Crooked Eye were heavy in the Oakland streets back in the days

Too much money wasted on drugs, hoes and bullshyt...

Not many female rappers on Mia's level. Man it's a crime how Mia, Fiend and Mac are overlooked and ignored

[Buzzed Lightyear]

Dog I feel like this story needs more context. It's like the first half of this story you deleted.

Which part?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Appreciate all the No Limit love and breakdowns in here. 96-98 No Limit was probably my favorite music run outside of the Houston scene between 02-early 06. That shift in No Limit once 99 hit though, you just felt something wasn't right. Snoop Dogg was killing it obviously, but as far as No Limit albums that were 100% No Limit, outside of WW3 and Only God Can Judge Me, I can't think of any other good albums that came out that year. I bought Made Man and Bossalinie, but there were tons of filler on both albums. A lot of people say No Limit's decline started once Beats By The Pound left, but they were still there well into the middle of 99, and it just wasn't the same.

Just shows how much nerve and nuts CMR had to drop 400 Degreez in the same year

They were smart though cause they dropped that late in the year

None of No Limit's late 98 releases had anything to really touch 400 Degreez. Cash Money carried that momentum into 99 and took over from there

All of the classic and high selling shyt from No Limit came out early in the year and they tapered off

It's a lot of them dudes on that list that we didn't need an album from
