I never really thought they did much of anything with Baby Soulja and A-Lexxus or even Hounds of Gerttown. I think they were on like one album each and then nothing aside from an ad in every album from '99 forward.

Erica Foxx was getting a lot of features especially in 2000. I thought we would've got the second Ghetto Commission album in 2000 considering how they were on nearly every album from 1999-2000. I was surprised to hear Two For One on P's OGCJM.

Ke'Noe was definitely a key producer. It's amazing that he was really young back then and went on to do work and even produce hits for Nick Minaj. He even has work with Jay Z, Meek Mill, T.I. and Rick Ross.

I just ran into Ke'Noe at Summer League in Vegas, dude is doing very well, he was chilling and watching Barnes, from Toronto, Dude has work with Beyonce and everybody. I remember him from his Southern Lab days and his early early rap group that he was in, Dude been in the game.

C snatched him early and he's been grinding since.

@JustCKing @Alvin

It seemed like P constantly changed his lineup/priorities within his talent roster. During 1999 it became Magic, Mac, Popeye and DIG. Then Krazy was pushed heavily around the time 504 Boyz dropped in 2000 along with Mac. Then suddenly the eastcoast rappers months later, while Samm, DIG n Popeye (last appearance was on Trapped In Crime iirc) fizzled out. After that P returned to Magic, plus Choppa (Nelly clone, Choppa Style hit) and T-Bo (Eminem/Mystikal clone, weak ass lyricist, basic af), he even put Currensy in a bit of a spotlight (2nd 504 Boyz video/single from their 2nd album)

P picked up Samm, DIG and Popeye, Fire Cracker which were C artists, when C went and did his josee P looked out for those artists and tried to give them their shine.

Man Big Court did a good ass interview and broke it all down. I can't find it, but he's in the interview with MC Eitht (who was low-key hating) smh. I'm trying to find the clip

I did not know those shots in U dig by juvie was for him.

I know DIG came at Cash Money, he throw shots at them.

I really thought he had next, he was punishing shyt back then, I was definitely checking for his features.
Soldier cut on Crime Family was him just going at CMR (not in a violent way)

Nah, timelines don't add up

Samm, DIG n Popeye were NL artists from 99 on. P did pick up T-Bo and Currensy in 01/02 from Tru Records when C got locked up for life. See 504 Boyz Ballers album

I've always been annoyed that so many songs on Bossalinie start off the same way


Ghetto Boy
Gangsta Walk
Ghetto Millionaire
Murder and Daz


All those songs start off the same way. Production credits show C-Murder produced 3 of the 4 songs.


Maybe he was going to have that be his signature thing?

Nah, LT Hutton (produced the 2Pac movie) did the westcoast songs on Bossalinie, Craig B did Ghetto Boy. Listened to all 4 cuts, yeah you're right, never noticed that! I like it though, but yeah, not every song needs to start with that repeat thing. Beats were cool and raps were mid on these, didn't like the songs with minimal subject matter on Bossalinie, just babblin' bout nothin'. Then the more introspective songs had worse beats/hooks/concepts (Lord Help Us, Freedom, I Remember)

C had a good ear for talent (Kenoe, Currensy) that he signed to Tru Records

Holloway was supposed to drop a solo album too around 2000. But like I stated, only Mr Marcelo out of all B/C artists was able to release a project

Baby Soulja was also on that Wild Boyz album. 2-4-1 was on a few albums in 98/99. Erica Foxx was the 2000 version of Porsha (who had alot of features from Major Players on until OGCJM). Neither got an album release (Porsha's album even has an allmusic page, was supposed to drop around the time Mercedes' album hit the shelves)

The Hounds Of Gert Town guys (Nite Tyme and Camoflauge) were better rappers than Full Blooded imo
he had good ideas :mjcry:

Out of all the stuff No Limit released to me this is the greatest project they ever put out

R-965982-1526473827-8550.jpeg.jpg


This whole compilation was fire. I wonder why P never put out a second version of this

So many classics on here
