Master P- MP Da Last Don Revisited

[ILLMMORTAL]

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

Yeah I heard of them but none of them were the main pedigree on No Limit and u know it! Fiend and Mia X had some looks and I will give Slim his props but it ain't like they just had some dominant devastating lyricists before Snoop and Mystikal got there! Them nikkaz put out an album followed by a wack DVD movie every week but I guess u had to do something to stay relevant! nikka P got his money though so,respect to him for being a success!

 

[ILLMMORTAL]

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.

Aye nikka no disrespect to u but u outta line!

 

[ILLMMORTAL]

Aye nikka no disrespect to u but u outta line! J PRINCE AND THE GETO BOYS BROKE THE SOUTH THROUGH! P will tell u that shyt himself!

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

Rap A Lot paved the way and cracked open the door but No Limit blew the door off the hinges. P was on the cover of every magazine and getting American Music Awards lol. NY DJs had to play his music because it was that hot and they didnt really play Southern artists like that then.

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.

Fair enough I just listed the certified plaques, whether it's shipped or sold idk

I agree that the CMR hype overshadowed NL big time. However, NL still put out some truly dope albums in 99/00 (Fiend, Mac, Trapped In Crime) that got overlooked unfortunately because of hype and buzz (THAT came to an end in 2001 for CMR too)

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)

LOL

I always make that no limit/WCW comparison. and then they joined forces that summer.

but no limit had a lot of heat in '99. the TRU album, fiend, mac, TGC.
plus snoop & silk's albums were aight.

people get carried away with this.

cash money was more commercial-friendly and they had a label machine pushing them to the moon.

how did we forget about cash money when the whole time they had that run, we were comparing their every move to whatever no limit was doing?

also, people tend to inflate the length of cash money's hype. yea, 400 degreez dropped in September '98, but it was a slow burn, and cash money didn't really take off like that until spring/summer '99. really the summer. and even then, no limit always kept a banger or two out. that summer, they had hoody hoo & b*tch please. the TRU & snoop albums, plus the critically-acclaimed stuff from fiend & mac,

the shipped vs sales argument can be used against anybody.

 

[OHSNAP!]

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.

Kinda true, kinda not

You forgot about the Mia X singles from Mama Drama that charted on the Hot 100, Wobble Wobble, It Ain't My Fault 2/Somebody Like Me, plus minor hits like Hoody Hoo, Tru Homies, Step To Dis, It's Your Thing, That's Cool, Bout Dat...

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

nikka I'm from the south,HOUSTON to be exact and I couldn't stand none of that shyt,but that ain't the point,the point is,is that ur a disrespectful,dumb azz,broad azz nikka for saying that shyt! Like nikkaz from the south only listen to a certain type or region of rap and don't listen to or relate to nothing else! YEAH u probably a broad on this bytch trolling!

CLASSIC

they shouldve just cleaned this up and made it a single.

that's one of the reasons why no limit lost steam. too much hit-chasin'. there were really no hits on this album, and they still kept the same singles-formula.

the album-cuts are what sold most of those albums. there shouldve been videos for "hot boys & girls" and "soldiers, riderz & gs"

a lot of bangers on here
the 3D cover
2 discs for the price of one

Culturally one of the most important albums of the late 90s. Not a classic, but a great album.

THIS
THIS

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

only other person that did that was too short
and that was years prior.

I think its pretty obvious that P was moving into a ton of other ventures & he knew his time was up with the quality solo albums. as you can see, the following album he dropped in '99 was wack.

I don't know about any body else, but that album made me a fan. I liked some of the singles I was hearing from "Bout It, Bout It II" to "I Always Feel Like" to "No Limit Soldiers", but hearing "Ghetto Child" is what did it for me. That song and "Keep Your Eyes On My Enemies" is what did it for me. To me, the album cuts were No Limit's bread and butter. Some of the singles really did some of the albums a disservice.

THIS

horrible choices of singles for this album and some of the others.

Just cuz im speaking the truth im trolling? Idgaf what you think No limit albums are some of the most wack on a world wide level. What i meant by the south is that i can see people from the south thinking its alright because they can relate to the way those guys speak and rap and i respect master ps hustle and i fukk with the south from scarface-ugk-ludacris-jeezy-8ball mjg-juvenile to young buck but as far as music goes i dont see people bigging up those no limit albums anymore unless there from the south just facts go cry about it no way in anyway would i diss the south. Another thing is How tf can you even say im hating when i already said i fukk with ice cream man by master p and c murder bossalinie had bangers too i just think the rest of the albums is garbage thats my personal opinion & in no way did i say dudes from the south only listen to wack shyt ur just too stupid to comprehend this your just insecure @ thinking everyones just out to shyt on the south now GTFO.
