Master P- MP Da Last Don Revisited

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Always felt no limit was wack there producers were complete trash too. That shyt is strictly for ppl who live in the south they can relate to it but i could nvr get into that shyt

how was no limit strictly for people living in the south when they were the crew that broke the south thru?

people exposing themselves on here.

Exactly

If folks weren't 12 years old or older in 97-99, I skip over post like that and consider it pure hate or someone just started listening to rap in 2007

Everybody and their mama knows No Limit ran the rap game and was printing money. And these nikkas didn't put songs on the radio or TV like your average rapper do today.

Ask these old school rappers and A&Rs about dropping an album on a Tuesday, the same day a NL album was coming out yet alone a Master P album.

I remember when this album dropped how it flooded the streets, wasn't hard as when Ghetto D dropped, that album had the south on Lock, everybody was bumping Ghetto D.

I tried bumping that album a while ago and I just couldn't. Dude caught the Pac holy ghost and ran left field with this album. There were a few dope tracks though, but yeah...

Dude tried to ride the annoying ass "I'm retired...SIKE!" wave that was going on during the time to sell records.

Nah I believe he was gonna really go. Keep in mind he been releasing albums since 91 so they had a real good run. I think Cash Money dominating played a factor in him coming back

Honestly I would have retired on the strength of Ghetto D if I was P.

I thought the last don was a fitting end

yep. you can tell who was really around, as opposed to who is just following misguided internet rhetoric.

and yea, MP Da last don was a dope ass album. one of my favorites of the year.

a lot of filler on it tho.

im sayin tho

like how the hell was THIS the album that marked the end of their reign when like 15 albums came after it, in THAT year alone...including Snoops nl debut, Mystikal's second joint, Mac, Kane & Abel...

Nolimit fell off a damn year later....started the year with dud albums from Silkk and C and it was down hill from there. Crime Fam was like the last stand. But even those duds were going gold and plat

 

[DoomzdayzV]

horrible album, the E40 cut, Streets Keep Me Rollin, and Hot Boyz n Girlz are the only joints I can listen to anymore...the rest is utterly repugnant

 

[OHSNAP!]

You're not gonna convince people who are conditioned to believe only east coast albums are worthy of praise breh

Not enough boom-bap and quadruple-syllable miracle

Nah they were done for the most part after MP Da Last Don. I'm a No Limitologis and while they had just a few bright spots here and there, it was downhill, especially since none of these songs really caught on like Ghetto D (heck half the songs are remakes of Ghetto D's hits lol). Snoop's NL album didn't really catch on and his non-NL/more West Coast albums after it were received better. Mystiakal's 2nd NL album was another disappointment. Mac, Kane & Abel and all them other albums may have shipped gold based on NL's past, but The Tank wasn't anywhere near the same, especially commercially or popularity wise.

Go back after Da Last Don and see what songs really popped off for them. Yeah, NL wasn't the biggest at commercial songs, but even their amount of "club" songs took a hit. They were getting by on The Tank alone and then CMR came and crushed the buildings. Outside of Silkk's Made Man album they were pretty much dead in the water until "Down For My N's" came out in 2000.

Yeah similar to WCW it was mid-99 after those disappointing Silkk and C-Murder albums that NL really fell off, sometimes in quality (Lil Soldiers, Who U Wit compilation, Lil Italy), but mostly in sales/popularity (with the exception of Snoop who jumped on the Dre bandwagon)

After MP Da Last Don, NL still got platinum (everything from Snoop, Ghetto Fabulous, Made Man) and gold plaques (next two Master P and C-Murder albums, Da Crime Family, Mama Drama, Foolish OST)

 

[OHSNAP!]

Man before Mystikal and Snoop Got to No Limit that whole roster was WACK! nikkaz couldn't rap to save a nikkaz a life,ESPECIALLY P AND SILK THE SHOCKER! JUST AWFULPUREI never bought none of that shyt nikka!

You ever heard of Fiend, Mac, Mia X or Soulja Slim?

 

[OHSNAP!]

Yep remember this was hyped as P's "retirement album" and it didn't live up to that at all. Add in Juvenile & CMR coming on the nationwide scene 4 months later and you effectively have the end of No Limit's reign. This wasn't a wack album as much as it just felt cookie-cutter and average as all get out. People had gotten numb & burnt out to a new No Limit album each week.

And like somebody said, P's biting and rehashing was downright shameless on here. He even bit the "red dot" skit that was the end of Biggie's "Warning."

Collabo with Bone as the first cut (after the intro) reminded me of Life After Death too

 

[OHSNAP!]

Forgot about this one, prolly my favorite cut off this

C-Murder's gangsta = legendary

Don't be fooled by how many they shipped because it got a point where everything NL dropped shipped gold cus retailers wanted it in their stores. Selling that many units is a whole nother thing lol. I don't think people really remember how CMR really made everybody forget about NL QUICK lol.
