Who Had The Bigger Impact? Cash Money Or No Limit [Update: Poll Added]
- Thread starter KingsOfKings
- Start date
No Limit. CMR came up off No Limit's blueprint:
- Flashy Pen & Pixel graphics. Eightball & MJG introdiced Pen & Pixel, but No Limit made those graphics synonymous with its brand
- Advertising several upcoming releases complete with album cover inside the booklet
- Keeping everything in house
No Limit's greatest impact was it had a business model that will never be duplicated. They dropped 30 albums in one year and most of them were successful. Each album kind of piggybacked off the previous release.

No Limit had more impact on the music business but Cash Money had a much larger cultural &musical impact.

Nobody should comment in this thread unless you're 34, 35+ and actually experienced how crazy that No Limit run was.

Impact id say its a Push. I was there the rise of both empires back when Cash Money was wearing Blue flags
They Both got classics. Both showed us how to get money off music. being in the south at the time, it was crazy to see them both exist simultaneously tbh. The both lost heavy hitters at they peak too Souljah Slim, Mac obviously C Murder. Turk, BG altho BG dropped Classic before he went down. Cash money didnt really have a female in the crew No Limit had a few female rappers...longevity goes to Cash Money because of Wayne.... Yea prolly a push

No limit was first and the story was white people came to P to buy it for ten million he said no and saying since they wanted to pay that price no limit must be worth ten times that
Universal came and started Cash Money but with Cash Money the deal they got was fukking ridiculous at that time if you started a label you got fronted money and other things from a major major like Interscope or Columbia basically a consignment with the major major ( Bad Boy and Death Row are great examples) if not all the Masters then huge percentages cash money owned all their Masters off the bat I really think the Cash Money deal was a hail Mary to knock off No Limit that worked tenfold from the Hot Boys, Young Wayne, Juvie, Big Tuners, Slightly older Young Wayne, Prime best Rapper Alive Wayne (06-10), Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tyga, and all them ghostwriters
I loved both being young in NY but when I look at it like that Cash Money never fell off like other labels because the culture shifting south in response to 50, the NY radio stations not making new stars, the rappers of a young age being capped and never being top guys like Juelz and that Woman beater who Ray J still got booty goons for, Atlanta being so close to Miami, Jay-z fake retiring and taking too long to get back in rap shape, Cash money was able to fill a void another thing that helped was working with T pain, Akon, and other new guys
Best example in sports I can compare it to is if Len Bias didn't do coke that night they had a championship roster for the present and future

No Limit paved the blueprint for a lot of self made record labels, there's a reason why Master P been a success. Cash Money just been more relevant due to the youth rocking with Wayne, Drake & Nicki.

No Limit had the business blueprint but Cash Money took it and has enhanced it in every aspect and are still relevant 20 years after signing their major deal.
Nobody sounds or looks like No Limit per se. But Cash Money basically directly birthed almost everything we see now in some way, from Wayne to Drake alone.
