Who Had The Bigger Impact? Cash Money Or No Limit [Update: Poll Added]

[King Poetic]

No limit was cool and beats by the pound was southern excellence but they had to contend with the whole bad boy and death row music...

Cash money came in on a perfect time and lit up every city with bling bling

 

[An ashy lil fap hand]

hard to say but No Limit wins off the strength of Snoop Dogg IMO.

No limit u literally had albums drop every two weeks goin gold or platinum n selling out in every store

N everybody bought the albums because they had a favorite featured. 90% chance it was mystikal fiend or Mac

Twas C-Murder for me at first, but became Mac. Couldn't wait to hear his verse(s) on every new NL release. Alooooot of folks preferred Mystikal

I first listened to Master P during his bay days. I bought "Ghettos trying to kill me" based off a clever ass ad in 4080 magazine calling it the "album of the month". I loved that album and bought a few other artists on his labels shyt too (Lil Ric etc.). West Coast Bad Boyz vol. 1 is still a classic to me. I gotta admit when he made the south "switch" I was surprised how quickly he picked up steam while other people like JT the Bigga Figga were still regional acts. The music quickly became shyt but his impact can't be denied.

I began listening to Cash Money around It's all on you Vol.1 and they definitely had the better music at the time. Mannie was beasting.

Breh, nobody had complete artwork for an entire rosters being advertised in each album. I mean, every artist featured on Ghetto D had an advertisement in the booklet complete with artwork. You were seeing and hearing each artist without ever having to pick up a magazine or see the video to know waht they looked or sounded like or know that they had an album coming.

No Limit being unoriginal is neither here or there, we're talking impact.

CMR's greatest impact before No Limit blew up was "Drag Em N Tha River" and even the impact of that song is nearly nonexistent without Mystikal (who later signed to No Limit). Speaking of Mystikal, he gained national attention before CMR or No Limit. He was already moving units locally and regionally which got him a deal with Jive.

From Gangsta Bounce, to Bling Bling, to lil'wayne, to Drake. CMR been providing industry changing Impact spanning 30 years.

People don't even buy CDs now. So now what? Where's the Impact now? Listen to a track today and tell me if it sound closer to Cash Money or No Limit.

I acknowledge P's Impact on the business side, but musically naw.

FOH rewriting history with your bias bullshyt. Stating your opinions doesn't make facts you moron

Tell me that all those Fiend, Mac, Mia X, TRU, C-Murder, Kane&Abel, compilation/soundtrack albums were the shyts. No doubt there was some horseshyt put out (some very disappointing albums in 99 from Silkk, C, Serv, P. Some bullshyt from Full Blooded or Lil Soldiers, which did have their moments tho). FOH

As the other guy said, Mystikal was a bigger name in the mid-90s than the entire CMR, and No Limit picked him up easily in mid-97. CMR didn't sell that much in their independent days, don't believe the Williams bros.' bullshyt act. They were a hot regional act, that was it. So was Twista in Chicago or Trick Daddy in Miami around that time, nothing to it

I'll let you keep believing people are checking for these old No Limit Albums.

BBTP can't hold down a full album. Yeah I said it. What?

No Limit albums were mostly filler. These albums had like 27 tracks every album.

Look at snoops stay with No Limit. Completely disappointing, but when he left his career blow again.

Once people got over the Label Branding, NL fell the fukk off.

Gangsta bounce is more of a N.O. thing than something that belongs to CMR or No Limit. That sound was prevalent in both their styles.

And again, No Limit was the first label out of the boot to do whay they did on a national level. From the music to a business standpoint. A lot of what of what Roc Nation does goes back to No Limit.

Of course people don't buy CD's now, that doesn't make what they did less impactful. And yes, a lot of rap now sounds closer to No Limit than it does CMR. Artists this decade have remade and sampled No Limit songs. Former No Limit producer Ke'Noe was out here making hits with CMR artists. Ross was remaking No Limit songs and referencing their music.

Top Dogg and Last Meal were easily better than the Dogg Father but he stepped outside of the in-house production team for those.

@ this thread still going on...and especially @ the bolded...the impact of No Limit business wise has always been overstated to a ridiculous extent considering the fact that ultimately we're talking about a company that went bankrupt and defunct as a result of their business model over 15 years ago...far as innovation goes, both No Limit and Cash Money are admitted followers and successors of the game plan put together by J Prince with Rap a Lot... A lot of the credit people are trying to give to NL really belongs to RAL...Attributing Cash Money's come up to a company that

1. They predate
2. They've outlasted
3. Was actively trying to blackball them from the industry

Is nonsensical

The Roc Nation part made chuckle cause that's as big of a reach as I've seen in a while... Roc Nation is all about corporate synergy, partnerships, and delagation and is damn near a polar opposite from the "everything under one roof DIY" approach P took with no limit

This is like asking who had the most impact in the NBA, the Larry Brown Pistons or the Popavich Spurs

I mean can u say the label was out the boot when they had to move to Cali and rap like Cali artist to get on?

Cash money was on they steady rise at the time and they got juvi at the perfect time and he just destroyed everything
