Cash Money was better music.

But No Limit impact in the rap marketing and Indie scene is BAR NONE.

And even with Wayne, can we really say he didn't apply No Limit's hustle of flooding the scene with as much music possible. I mean, Wayne had infinite guest spots, mixtapes, songs that didn't make albums, side projects and albums in a short period of time.

CMR has not had a 20 year run. They had a strong '99, and showed signs of struggling with G Code. Momentum picked up with I Got That Work and Big Tymers was the only platinum CMR act up until Juvenile dropped Juve The Great in 2003. Then Wayne's run started with the first Carter and they still didn't get another platinum album until 2005 with C2. Then C3 pretty much started the YMCMB phase.

Aftermath has lasted longer than CMR. From struggling with the compilation an the Firm album to producing the biggest acts and albums for the past two decades.

And CMR in no way, shape, form, or fashion became a better version of Bad Boy, Death Row or Def Jam. That's straight up delusion. CMR never had a point where they putting up numbers like Bad Boy in 1997 or Def Jam in 1998 or 1999.

YMCMB and Rich Gang are still Cash Money.

Top Dogg and Last Meal were easily better than the Dogg Father but he stepped outside of the in-house production team for those.
No Limit Top Dogg and Last Meal are generally considered two of his best albums (for many 2nd/3rd best ones), wtf u on?
No Limit Top Dogg and Tha Last Meal are 2 of his best albums :gucci:

Stop posting

You guys just proved my point below. Check the production credits on those albums. They weren't in-house albums and his CAREER got bigger when he moving away.

Why is that? :sas2:

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

Ya'll saying Cash Money had less impact but P doing his best Cash Money Impression here. Somebody explain this? :heh:


This really wasn't them doing a CMR impression. "Wobble, Wobble" and "Ice On My Wrist" are better examples of that. They always rapped about ice and did those types of videos. They just started going overboard with it after CMR took off, much like how CMR did with the whole soldier thing when they were on the come up.

Who said they weren't? Still doesn't give them a 20 year run or make them an improvement on Bad Boy, Def Jam, or Death Row.

Was it completely non-stop on top? Nah. But they were relevant from 1998 until as we speak, while still maintaining ownership. Young kids know Cash Money and have no idea about No Limit. About to be 4 decades of relevancy. That's longevity.

They weren't relevant the entire 20 years. CMR doesn't have 4 decades of being relevant. Only person in Hip Hop who can make such a claim is Dr. Dre (80's, 90's, 00's, 10's).

Young kids knowing CMR is neither here or there. They should as Wayne is still around and was there when they initially blew. Nobody from the original No Limit line up is still dropping music like that. Currency is like the last remnant of No Limit and his No Limit years are overlooked. People knowing who you are and simply existing doesn't mean you're relevant.

Nobody is saying CMR doesn't have longevity and nobody is arguing that they have far more longevity than No Limit. CMR's longevity is due to the fact that they survived marquee artists leaving and them enduring by building and rebranding the label around Wayne. They didn't have this continous 20 year run because CMR had their show of low points, but they bounced back.

No Limit was Dr. J.

Cash Money is Michael Jordan.

They a better version of pretty much everything No Limit did.

Got them in every category besides having a major deal first. If No Limit was the spark, CMR is the flame.

Quoting yourself to prove a point does make you look like a moron, congrats! P allowed Snoop alot of freedom for his projects, whether his albums or his tours (Up In Smoke), smart businessman, end of story

To everyone: I'd put Tru 2 Da Game, World War 3, TOIEF, Unlady Like and Life Or Death against any CMR album. Pretty few (400 Degreez, some of BG's 90s stuff, Guerilla Warfare) can compare to those
