interesting.

cuz just about every no limit album ive heard that came out before and after that, had some conscious content.

but i guess i'll leave it up to a guy that heard snippets of select tracks to tell it.:obama:

When the white man put more money into whatever was selling sadly. And all these n1ggas lost their third eye as a result of it. Calling everything that wasnt loud and in your face back pack rap. Oh u on that conscious shyt. Fukk outta here n1gga and here we are.

Record labels are about making money. You can only sell what people want and it's measured in metrics.

It's like if you have a blog and as you progress you see what type of post people want from you based on views. And you may slip in general content that is popular based on others success as well.
