He's A Good Man
them Coming Soon sections in the booklets used to have us young'ns fiending hard for the next album
The Roll Wit Us track that Daz was playing, I remember that from Death Row's Chronic 2000 album. I wonder what the NL version sounded like.
what was the monica issue?
hounds of gert town >This shyt looks like an obituary
Original Ghetto D cover
loved ms peaches, porscha, a-lexxus and 2 for 1
who was the "jill" that mia X made a tribute to on each album?
I agree, if P stopped biting so damn much (esp.the Cash Money copycat bullshyt from 1999 on) and would have focused more
on quality control in 1999/2000 instead of playing NBA, No Limit Sports, WCW, splitting with BBTP and important artists etc, No Limit could have had a way longer run
I agree, early 1999 NL came out with subpar-to-horrible albums (Made Man, Bossalinie, Da Next Level, Foolish, Boot Camp lol) and destroyed all the momentum. Sales declined big, and Cash Money took over with way better albums in 99. However, I always felt that Da Crime Family, Ghetto Harmony and Street Life (even Rear End) were way overlooked, those were pretty good. No Limit Top Dogg and World War 3 were amazingbreh i remember wanting Da Next Level SOOOO bad just for the cover and because i saw Serv On on Rap City and i finally heard that album
some albums grow with time or i get older and can understand it better and Da Next Level is not one of those albums. that shyt is garbage and pretty much unlistenable. how you go from his first album to that?
Silkk dropped a classic with Charge it 2 Da Game and followed it up with that horrible Made Man album too
i cant believe how long i liked NL after they fell off...last shyt i might have actually bought was Da Crime Family album by TRU...when my tru homies call me, i'll be there
You gotta look back in this thread around pg10 or so, apparently Mystikal smashed (tried to smash?) Monica, C's girl back then
Mia's bff who was killed by her bf apparently
Heard in an interview Mia stated P had 500 million dollars in liquid cash, he just didn't have time to run the company (hands on) like he had done before blowing up, he put too many other ppl in charge to run the company when he was off doing things. Mia said that P wanted to pursue his dreams, he had the funds to do so, so why would they be upset at that, all they could do is respect it.
Also, Serv-on gave a great interview on how much they were paid, P gave them 500k upfront, a house, and they got to pick their favorite car, then after the album was turned in, P gave them another 500k on the back-end.
That Serv-on interview shed light on the whole pay scale, P would pay the vets' (Snoop, C, Silk, Mystikal) like 4,500 a verse, thus you see them all over each other album, each verse you did as a vet was a easy 4,500, shid you do 4 verses, you done made dayum near 15k in one day, and that is just for one person album.
P really paid them dudes, Serv-on stated how Snoop learned so much game about getting paid from features, smh, Snoop had no clue how much money he was missing out.
P really looked out for these dudes.
I wanna say even Sons of Funk stated P gave them each like 300k or 600k (each) and it was 4 of them for their 1st album and they got paid another 900k-1.2 for that "I got the Hook Up" sound, (I may be off) but them dudes stated in an old interview that All-Hip Hop did on them that P took care of them well.

More attention should've been given to Street Life, Da Crime Family, Ghetto Harmony, and Rear End. Rear End had major potential. Imagine "I Can Tell" as a single. That song was popular from the 504 Boyz album and it was never a single. It could've did damage as an official single.
