My algorithm is being bombarded with No Limit and Cash Money content since the Verzuz

Just watched this interview with Tobin Costen (the executive vice president of NL during their prime)…where he talks about how they did business back then…basically the classic homeboy exec model that ultimately led to the label going bankrupt once BBTB came to collect what they were owed

Ps pride and ego has always been his downfall. Instead of paying BTTP their worth( nikkas was burned out by mid 99) He tried to go cheap by producing himself and getting cheap producers. Nikka went as far as to justify it saying "Their sound got dated"


He wasnt lying tho. Beats by tge pound as a whole fell off before they left and didnt do much afterwards.

CLos still had that sauce. He was still there.

its not coincidence that the production value went back up after they left. Not on the level if prime beats by the pound, but still.

Keen came in and did his thing as well.


I get why Mercedes pissed. .. e that mole face ass nikka from boss talk 101 and big court from holdin court was on stage ..

They not artist … but them nikkas on stage bouncin n shakin they ass like bytches


Court dog was a no limit artist.

idk why they resurrected this shyt


crowd was dead for half of it ALL
I think the crowd issue is them not having any faith in the the event running on it's own. This was a complexcon event, so the crowd was probably a good number of ppl who were there for complex con and just happened to see the verzuz shyt and decided to check it out. If it was was like other(all or most?) Verzuz then it wouldve had it's own thing that way the crowd wouldve been people who really fukk with the culture and artists.

I wonder if this is some more disrespect of the south shyt. Did they not have faith in it because it was two south movements going against each other or because this the first verzuz in years? i feel like if a 50 or Jay were involved as one of the participants, they wouldve done a proper one.

Even though Mannie Fresh still did the bulk of 500 Degreez, I really think THAT’s when they started losing that N.O. soul. To me the only Wayne stuff you can play in that setting are his first two albums, Hot Boyz verses and general feature verses from around that same time.

These are probably the funniest and most truthful videos I’ve seen in response to that Verzuz.



Thank you. In the first video dude nailed it everything what I’ve been saying it.

Yall got some dudes here talk about commercial hits in verzuz had me :snoop:

I'm really surprised NL won but it shows performances help a lot in live events and Cash Money looked too lazy except for Juvie.

Mia X showed she was always one of the best female mcs. And really nice of her she shouted out Boo.

Also, 1 hour cut off for a No Limit v Cash Money event is crazy lol

Cash money did not put on a bad show.

They were bullied musically, more than anything but I see alot of people dont want to have that conversation.

If they did this battle virtually. The results would be the same.


Y’all keep saying 98-03 it really should’ve been 97-04. That way you get Soulja Rags,Carter 1 and Mind of mannie fresh.


It ended up being 95-08

No limit put out alot of their best music before 97.

I think the crowd issue is them not having any faith in the the event running on it's own. This was a complexcon event, so the crowd was probably a good number of ppl who were there for complex con and just happened to see the verzuz shyt and decided to check it out.

This show was definitely sabotaged.

Having it at complex-con and giving them a 10 round limit. The garbage hosts.

They knew this would ho down as the best verzus, even if they got jay & nas.

CMR is musically still relevant with the younger generation. Literally all the songs they did last night still get play at HBCU undergrad parties and bands.

NL not so much at all outside of Choppa Style & Down 4 My N’s.


That's because CMR is moreso 2000s while no limit was more 90s.

And you still had to list hits from no limit I n the 2000s


Well nikka when one of the biggest rappers in the world who was in the group y'all have on stage didn't show up what else could you expect?:mjlol:

Wayne not being there took most of the air out of this

That's like Destiny's Child doing a Verzuz without Beyonce


Wayne was more like the Latoya or Latavia of the hot boys.

Wayne got bigger later on with a different audience. The fans who were invested in this verzus weren't checking for Wayne like that.

I agree with most of this, but I don't think this was sabotaged. It wouldn't make sense. There hasn't been a Verzuz in years. Why would they not want the first Verzuz in years to be huge? I think it was great for how it went down. It was nearly 2 hours. It could've went on for nearly 4 because there were definitely songs from both sides that didn't get played that were missed. They could even run it back for a Round 2 given how successful this one was.
