No Limit Records Stories

Nobody hated on P back then, 96, 97, 98, around 99-2000 folks started to hop onto something else, which was CMR solely.
During those 90s, 93, 94,95,96, bounce ruled the city, still does, so it wasn't really a favorite record label in the city that folks championed, folks just like the music from the record labels artists, you had Take 4 Records, Big Boy Records, CMR and then NL, and another record label, I'm missing, but folks were rocking with the bounce music more so, and some street albums, and artists, but bounce was the wave
Truth be told, Partners N Crime and DJ Jubilee, use to run the city, with their bounce songs. Magnolia Shorty, Ms, Tee, Ghetto Twinns and others were huge in the city too, noone was going around claiming CMR or a particular record label back in the 90s, it didn't get that way until NL went nation wide in 96 and P was "branding" the company's name, that's when folks down here would say "No Limit" instead of the actual artist or attach NL with that artist
NL was thrown in your face down here, so P made folks say NL, other record labels weren't doing that like P was doing it, they started to do it then, yes you had artists rep their home label, but that was pretty much it, P to me, made you live your record label, it was a lifestyle in a sense with NL, it wasn't just about music when it came to NL, that's when ppl down here starting attaching NL with the artist's
In the 90s, folks would associate the music with the actual artist, instead of their record label, as I stated in the previous paragraph, saying a record label name started happening down here right around 96 ish 97 ish, I'm Bout area, and TRU 2 Da Game came out, that's when folks starting saying "record labels" and tagging the artists with record label
When you said a record label back then it was mainly tied with beef with the an artist from another record label, Big Boy beefing with CMR, etc, but again, folks were still mentioning the "artists" before their record label.
CMR, in my opinion wasn't the hometown favorite (in real time), they kept music in the streets, back then ppl were more chanting the artists than the record label.
Ghetto twins dropped a song called "Responsibility" and "Mama's baby" and those songs are today classics, but at the time they came out, nobody was championing their record label, etc, they were championing them as artists who happened to be on said record label
That's the example I am trying to put into words, so when you stated about CMR being the hometown label, in real time, NO they were not in my opinion, when I write and explain my POV, I do it from a "real-time" view because I actually lived it...
I was in it...so for me, they were not the hometown label, no label was to be quite honest.
"The hottest song in the country"
I stopped reading right there, after that, you're hating or you're just hating on the man himself.
Your song was the hottest song in the country, what more do you want P to do?
He got the same treatment as other artists, actually he got more, I think if I can remember, his album came out at a wrong time, but it still sold and was a solid album...I can't remember when this album came out, it was sandwiched between something.
The song blew up, I'm not sure what Skull is talking about, that song played in every car, every cutlass, regal, box chevy, hoopie with music played the shyt outta this song, this song was played at college parties, hood clubs, everywhere, it just didn't have a video, I even heard in some mixes on the radio Q 93.3...again, I'm not sure why he wanted P to waste money on a video, where I'm sure that P gave him that video money from his budget....
You can't look into today's climate and compare it to back then, and vice versa, that song did what it did, and it was heard
Production yeah, Skull was a mediocre rapper at best, had his moments here!
Man imagine Mac with those beats
Testimony, Satisfied, Set Up, I'm Not A Victim...first half of the album was alot better tooProduction yeah, Skull was a mediocre rapper at best, had his moments here!
Man imagine Mac with those beats
anyone have links to his albums? how can I get lil italy easily but I can't get skull?!

Skull harmonizing on "I'm not A Victim" is pure elegant
C n Big Ed are/were some real MFers. C such a complicated brother, alot of really good and some bad qualities that led to his jail stint
YT brah
Haven't been in this thread for a few months. I was friends w/ Mac's brother Kenny Williams, BassHeavy (former producer), and one of the Ghetto Commision dudes on fb. The one from Ghetto Commission told me all 4 of em still alive and well too.
Game Face and Ghetto Postage were both trash. I'm glad I didn't pay much attention to those albums. That "NL compilation" went in and so did "Ghetto Bill Gates". I didn't mind paying full price for these gems. Slay Sean even talking down on P. But some of that stuff he was saying was true.
Whatever happened to the rapper on this track?? Halleluyah. Went in on a few tracks and was on "Yappin" w/ Buck.
Former No Limit Artist Slay Sean The Judge Airs Out Master P
Slay Sean The Judge used to be an artist on No Limit and says he lived with Master P for a time. He's a Fed Ex driver these days, and he harbors some bitterness toward his former boss Master P.
He explained his issues with P in an interview with HipHop Uncensored.
"I'm not going act like P never gave me no money, but did he do right be me? No."
I didn't know Wango died.
Him, C, and I think one of them Prime Suspects were taking photo ops together w/ water guns. I forgot which magazine it was.
HEADKRACK | FRIEND OF C-MURDER CONFESSES TO KILLING TEENAGER!!
A jailed friend of C-Murder (Corey Miller) has confessed to the slaying of teenager Steve Thomas just 3 weeks before Miller’s murder retrial.
C-Murder is facing second-degree murder charges for the killing, and faces a maximum of life in prison.
The crime occurred at a Harvey nightclub 7 years ago, and Thomas was 16 at the time of his death.
The former No Limit soldier was convicted of the homicide in 2003, but the ruling was overturned due to evidence that prosecutors withheld the criminal records of their witnesses.
Juan Flowers told authorities that he was with Miller the night of the killing, and was the one that fired the fatal shot.
Prosecutors have pointed out that the new information contradicts the testimony of Dwayne “Wango” Cobbins, another friend of C-Murder’s who was present the night of the killing.
Cobbins has stated under oath that he witnessed C-Murder bringing a small gun into the club, hidden in his boot.
Because of the pandemonium from the shooting, Cobbins admitted he didn’t see Miller shoot the teen.
Yeah, that's him. I remember haha.
