Juve was one straight hush mode listening to Mystikal freestyle.

Juve better than all of them and made better albums than those guys.
IDK why nikkas act like Juve, BG, and Wayne weren't spitting in those days
And I love Mia X but hell nah she ain't better than B.G
Mia ain't got a song better than this
thats crazyHe was the COO of No Limit and one of the agents for No Limit Sports. He also played the doctor in I'm Bout It
PS was head of NL Sports. Not the most successful sports agency to say the least. Ricky Williams' rookie deal was apparently one of the worst ever made. He was an A&R for NLR iirc
Nah starting with the last UNLV album in 96 (Uptown 4 Life) everything they released was better.
Solja Rags shyts on any No Limit album honestly that might be the most underrated album from either camp. It's basically 400 Degreez without the huge singles, Juve was spitting flames
Get It How You Live is a classic to me as well and How You Luv That still gets play this very day. CMR albums definitely got higher replay value
You gotta be a No Limit stan to say those albums weren't that good and gas up Skull Duggery's shyt
Bruh, that always bothered the shyt out of mePS was head of NL Sports. Not the most successful sports agency to say the least. Ricky Williams' rookie deal was apparently one of the worst ever made. He was an A&R for NLR iirc
The Boss Chick video was maybe one of the worst NL ever had. Also hated the War Party vid, looked cheap and bland as fukk. Those dancing chick in EVERY video annoyed the hell out of me (Take My Pain....wtf)
Bruh, that always bothered the shyt out of me
Every song?!
Joint be serious as shyt and they have a dance routine in the middle of it..Made they shyt look like a parody
P had some really bad ideas at times
C talkin' bout MLK and Malcolm X while them No Limit gear chicks shake their asses
Yeah they did but ghetto d is one of the hardest albums I've ever heard I was a lil dude my big cousins used to have that shyt in repeatCash Money just made better music flat out than No Limit, they were bound to take over. They already ran New Orleans and not No Limit
Better beats, better producers, better rappers, less filler on albums, less gimmicks, no jacking nikkas shyt, and you ain't have to worry about trash nikkas all over the albums or features.
No Limit was on borrowed time. CMR was just all around better
Looks like I Got The Hook Up 2 is coming a long well
Speaking of Willy, RIP to Dopefiend Willy
I just stated facts. I was still a massive NL stan at that point. But momentum shifted to other acts, who had "the machine" behind them, heavily...RR and CMR songs were played in every fukkin' car on the skreets, X was the biggest name in rap, Juve went 4x plat etc etc. And yeah, Missy and Busta were huge pop stars, but casual rap fans geared towards those acts instead of hardcore No Limit
P could have pushed Fiend/Mac just as much as Silkk. Mac had all areas on lock: streets, clubs, ladies, introspective...
True dat
Plus a lot of rappers/industry cats started clownin' on/beefing with P. From Pimp C to Yukmouth to Pastor Troy to C-Bo to Death Row to Cash Money's subliminals...sucker shyt (not that P was always innocent...)
This to a degree
The tide definitely shifted. With No Limit, a lot of people switched from NL to CMR. The others really didn't factor. RR was more so East Coast and did more in tapping into Bad Boy's base and took more of that audience the same way a lot of NL fans became CMR fans.
With Missy and Busta, they were already huge when No Limit was at its biggest. I don't think it was necessarily a Pop audience that they had. Missy and Busta had their own thing within Hip Hop. The made fun music with crazy production accompanied by crazy videos. They were looked at more so as creatives and innovators.
In terms of casuals, No Limit benefited from them because a lot of them weren't really hardcore heads, but more so trend hoppers who defected to CMR once they became popular and it was cool to clown No Limit.
youre not getting the point. missy & busta had no effect on no limit.
and missy & busta didn't even sell like that considering how commercial & how exposed they were. MATTER FACT, missy's album FLOPPED in '99.
missy was r&b/pop and garbage rap.
I don't mean to disrespect busta as a pop artist. he definitely had his own space in hip-hop but you already got the point I was tryna make.
