i know about him, but was he a goon or just handled the business?How you gone leave out P right hand man Big Boz
that's fukking hilarious! Why didn't other artists beef with NL like people were beefing with CM on wax? Did Big Boy records beef with NL since P stole all they artist?

The Takeover
Big Boy was on its last legs when NL started blowing. They were pretty much done by 1997. Artists jumping ship killed them
1996 was a bad year for Big Boy it wasn't just No Limit who got artists from them, Rap-A-Lot took the Ghetto Twinz, PNC left, and G-Slimm got killed that year (RIP).
somebody from prime suspect got a cousin that's up in here in philly now too.
is that prime suspect album any good?
always thought they were meh.

I think he is/was P best friend, like Ty Ty is to Jay Z. Boz name was always in P rymes and he played his right hand in the Im Bout It movie which we know is very loosely based on real events.

It was pretty good as far as NL standards. Better than Ghetto Organized by the Gambinos. Few songs I like Bust Back, Somebody Shoulda Told Me, Of All Da Hustlers, My Old Lady, We Gots To Do Em and Daily Routine are pretty much it
I think what MASTER P. did within the FILM WORLD is wayyyyy more significant than his accomplishments in Music
like the time he had the balls to tell Miramax Films to go fukk themselves that he wasn't gonna be thier little "hoe"
MASTER P. did something HISTORICAL
he got a distribition deal with MIRAMAX PICTURES following the success of his BOUT IT BOUT IT DVD. inn which he would take no advance or budget for his films
In spite of the fact MIRAMAX was willing to pay 5 million for the rights to distribute and secure the intellectual property of I GOT THE HOOKUP
P said NO
And opted to front the expenses for the film 2.5 millon out his own pocket with Miramax conforming to a lesser share of the box office reciepts for simply putting it in theaters
also the fact that he also empowered black talent with tangible resources ..like the time he gave EDDIE GRIFFIN a million dollars up front for the FOOLISH screenplay...

yup....i remember having it in VHS format when it first was released...it was at all the mixtape spots and bootleger havens.....
that shyt spread like wildfire thru the streets..no commercials....no radio drops ...no posters ..no flyers no nothing....just straight "word of mouth"
then i'd say about a year later it came out in DVD form in 1998 based off those phenomenal first month sales!!
the DVD was amazing...because it had extra features dropping gems about his life and the music business
it got me intrested in the business side of the music game as a young cat
the first feature told how he first got to be an Entrepreneur in the Indy Music game.....going to college and having a bond with his grandfather who passed out in California whom left him with like a 10k cash inheritence which he used to open up his own Record Store and flipped into his own label with advice from E-40
but the Second Feature was some real HISTORIC and CONTREVERSIAL SHYT
it spoke of how Master P became the first SOUTHERN ARTIST to make the Top ten of ANGIE MARTINEZ countdown on HOT 97 and also secure regular rotation airplay for the BOUT IT BOUT it single on that station which was considered a historic moment for a Southern rapper to make the playlist of this NYC market station.
Considering Outkast the year prior (1996) had released the classic ELEVATORS single which NEVER cracked the top ten of Hot 97 let alone even got play on hot 97 nor the mixshows of Flex and the staff.
then it became apparant that a "hustle" was in play.......
New York attorney General Eliot Spitzer had announced in 2001 in a scathing press confrence that Hot 97 was the most flagrant amongst a host of stations in the NYC area that were accepting PAYOLA (bribes from record companies and moguls) according to an investigation that it was conducting at that time ...
No Limit Records was named as one of the parties involved in that investigation..
it was revealed that Funkmaster Flex owned a company (Big Dawg Record Pool , Franchise Marketing) that would serve as third party record promoters within the Tri state and as well as "servicing" (dictating to deejays) across the nation which records to spin for airplay ....
Greg Street a prominent Atlanta Deejay was a member of the Big Dawg Record pool and his name came up as being the "go to guy" ($$$) for Master P. to be plugged in with Funk Flex and the NYC radio landscape....
noted Hip Hop journalist Davey D. acknowledged these activities taken place as well as legendary New York rapper KRS ONE whom shared his story of being a A&R for a record label that forked over 40g's to Flex to play a record..........
Is Funkmaster Flex Guilty of Payola
as for myself I AIN'T MAD AT P
the game is to be SOLD not TOLD
And what he did for the game BROKE BARRIERS for not only himself and NO LIMIT but Southern Music and hip hop itself
so i can't knock the hustle
Good thread. Mia X is mad underrated
