Skull Duggery wasn't signed to Priority either when he released These Wicked Streets. He signed a deal with Tommy Boy which had Noreaga at the time also
Iirc it was Penalty Rec., who were distributed by Tommy Boy. Skull was in the NORE video for a second or so. Skull and Mystikal were the only NL soldiers in 95-01 whose albums weren't released on Priority Rec.

@OHSNAP! you know why snoop didnt appear on C-Murders Life Or Death and a few other albums ?
He was basically on almost every nl album in 98 with the exception of "Life Or Death", "My Balls & My Word", "The Game Of Funk" & "Wise Guys"
Snoop was officially signed around April (when the IGTHU OST came out), the C/Bleed/Sons Of Funk albums came out before that

Yeah only NL album without P feature in 98 was Full Blooded's. Neither was Fiend (who also wasn't featured on Sons Of Funk's one) or Silkk (who wasn't on Bleed's one)

Should C-Loc have signed his artist to NL? That means percy would have had a young boosie as well

Not really but the last couple years I have been wondering if this was a diss to NL



This was on Missy's second album Ft. Juvenile & BG with Birdman talking in the beginning

I had this album when it came out when I was young and never put the pieces together but I always fukked with the song.

TRU's True To Da Game had a song called "FEDZ" which a blatant rip off of "If Your'e Girl Only Knew" which was produced by Timbaland. I heard FEDZ years after it was released. Same beat and melody but just a cheaper sounding version.



In the song Missy was talking about biting and switching up beats so nobody would duplicate her. The album was released in the summer of 99 around the time Cash Money started taking over and the rumors of them having beef with one another. NL was becoming an after thought around this time. Listen to the lyrics. Especially the chorus.

Missy wasn't dissing No Limit. They cleared the sample for "If Your Girl Only Knew". Missy was dissing producers who were biting Timbaland's drum programming. They were fans of No Limit. Master P got a shout out on the remix of "Up Jumps Da Boogie" which featured Missy.

Yall know what would be a dope? If somebody produce a documentary on No Limit

Yall know what would be interesting? If somebody did a documentary type movie on No Limit Records. Theres ALOT of ground they could cover
P's start in Richmond CA
How he met Beats by the Pound and how his early albums were West coast influenced
Soaking game from JT
The beef with him and the Luniz...
The reaction and impact of Bout it Bout it Blowing up
How P hustled Priority Records into one of the best Indie deals of the 90s
The Momentum shift(Gold releases of TRU, Silk da shocker album, Mia X,)
Them blowing up in 98 and how they signed Snoop, How P made the Forbes list
Speak on Mac, Soulja Slim, C-Murder and their street muscle
How N.L. lost momentum
P blowing up leading him to lose focus on running the label(He was doing movies, forming sports agencies, clothing lines, dolls)
Cash Money beef
The stories behind C Murder and Mac getting locked down
How Mystikal got his ass beat by them No Limit goons for fukking Monica
The story of Pimp C getting pistol whipped and kidnapped
The reaction to C-Murder being found guilty, Mac being found guiity
Soulja Slim's death and the fallout from the Tank
C-Murder and P's beef
Master P's transformation from Gangsta rap to going all out positive

Get interviews from most of the nikkas that was there at that point. Whenever it be speaking about their careers on the label, working with them or their impact. Interview: P, Silk, C from jail, Mac from jail, Sons of Funk, Mia X, Mystikal, Mo B.dikk, Bun B(Since he was doing collabs), Scarface, Prince J, Tony Draper, 8Ball and MJG, JT The Bigga Figga, Yukmouth(for the Unbias view), Young Bleed, Soulja Slim's fam or homeboys, B.G., Boosie, Webbie, Jermaine Dupri, Mack 10(Since he was in Im Bout it) Whats left of the RBL Posse and many others. It would be very very interesting! Do it in a format that they did with the Death Row Documentary

I been enjoying the stories and the behind scenes stuff on No Limit in this thread. There's alot of things I didnt know about. Master P The Ice Cream Man was the first no limit album I listened to with my cousin who is 6 years older...I was young as shyt thinking that No Limit was the greatest thing ever. My cousin got sent home from school one day because he had on a Master P shirt lol. I just remember how crazy they were putting out music. This was long before the era were in now where rappers drop 2-3 projects in one year. They treated the rap game like the crack game.

Master P changed the game and was revolutionary with his business sense turning No Limit into a powerhouse and I feel like their run could had went on much longer if things were different.

All record company execs or CEOs or label heads are ruthless, greedy and cutthroat businessmen. That's how capitalism works. The rich eat the poor. The powerful kill the lowlives. Hiphop caters to that and presents/sells materialism (cars, houses, diamonds) and self-destruction methods (drugs, expensive lifestyle, greed, zero empathy) to the youth and to the masses. That way the small cats keep being small, can be kept down

The Williams bros. might be smart businessmen, but they walked over tons of carcasses to get where they are now. Same with Puffy, J Prince, P etc, everyone with different stories. Look what happened to G-Dep, Big Mike, Mac or BG....they alive and broken down thx to the music biz and their head honchos

That's how the world we live in works unfortunately

I didn't make that connection when I heard that Missy cut. There were prolly more Timbaland/Missy biters tho. Like someone else already posted, they were credited on the Fedz song like they should've

Most of Bleed's album was mastered and produced by C-Loc's crew. Only a few cuts had BBTP production and mixing/mastering, the ones where the NL soldiers were featured iirc

This was an one album deal I think, P prolly made a handshake deal with Loc and Bleed to put them out there, everyone gained alot from this deal, well done. Loc had some great rappers under his wings like Maxminelli and Boo, they would've done well enough on NL, but NL roster was bloated in 98/99 anyway
