Ayo.... How Did No Limit Sell So Many Records?

[ledge]

I will fully admit to being a No Limit hater at the time. I’m an old head who grew up during that era. And I STILL know all the major hits, remember all the ads, the Pen and Pixel covers, the videos… all that. Like homey said, I could picture all those album covers in my head as soon as you mentioned them and I didn’t listen to a GODDAMM one, outside of the singles that were always on. They were running sh*t then. So though I hated at the time, I salute P because they did it independently, from the ground up and got that paper. True muthaf*ckin hustler

I could definitely see them being overworked. I didn’t like Bossaline nor Made Man, never listened to Lil Italy and Lil Soldiers, but I did like Mr. Serv-On’s album. It was such a sudden shift in quality from 98 to 99 and I instantly knew NL’s time was ticking, especially with Cash Money blowing up

Yeah it was definitely a big change coming into 99. Boot Camp and On Top Of Da World were forgettable at best, you ain't missed out on much. My favorite cuts were the album closers on both:
(feat. Young Gunz)

Da Next Level was pretty disappointing too imo. BBTP had better output on Street Life, Gangsta Harmony, Rear End and Da Crime Family. Even Who U Wit compilation had better beats than the ones in the first 4 months of 99

EDIT: youre the same bul that lied about his age so that people would prop up your list.

No Limit was the first time that we saw the level of consistent FREQUENCY of releases from the era.


East Coast artist like Nas was having 2 and 3 YEAR GAPS between releases at best 1x a year.

No Limit was pumping New Albums not to mention singles very frequently relative to the rest of Rap.

They were doing what we take for granted today in terms of frequent consistent project releases.

and repackaging content and songs across several albums that shared the same barcode and sales records

they really did a number on you brehs with the skittle packaging

None of those No Limit albums shared the same barcode. They had similar barcodes because they were released back to back. Similarly, I'll show you the barcodes for No Way Out and Life After Death:
