No Limit Records Stories

[OHSNAP!]

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.

I Can Tell was also on Goodfellas, Crazy Bout Ya was also on P's album. Both indeed good songs with tons of mainstream hit potential, NL/Priority should have released those as singles. Rear End was a good lil album filled with hit songs. Loved the songs with Serv (remake of an old Lil Kim tune) and with Popeye

Da Crime Family was supposed to be a hit, P and his brothers put alot of work in marketing that one (WCW, Phat Phat, 106&Park...), but it flopped hard, Cash Money and Ruff Ryders were the new hot camps everyone jumped on (they were all over hiphop media as well). DCF was alot better than Bossalinie or Made Man in my eyes, even with all the remakes (You'll Never Change, another RIP Kevin Miller song) and Cash Money/NO bounce biting (Bounce, Hoody Hoo). Don't Judge Me has my favorite C-Murder verse, no lyrical miracle BS, just authentic and real

Fiend's Talk It Like I Bring It/Mr Whomp Whomp should have been way bigger, again NL had no momentum, if it was released at a different time both might have become way bigger hits

Gangsta Harmony had almost zero hit potential, but was a heartfelt Mo B project with his vision/plans behind it. Good enough lil album

at bolded. Agree with the rest

Don't think Cash Money would have been given a 30milly deal from Universal in 98 if P didn't open up the doors beforehand

Go back (today) and listen to that Mo B dikk album and you'll appreciate the sound of it. It's actually a good ass album. I really didn't pay any attention to it the time it came out because I felt it was bunched in between other albums when it dropped, but listening to it in 2017, that shyt goes hard

Not Just cash money, but Ted from Slip N Slide Records, was influenced by what P did with his deal. He gave props to P for doing what he did, made him want to get the same deal as what P got.

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 amazing

I agree 100%...they def had a few good ones in there.. .Top Dogg & WW3

WW3

I think P just let Mac do his thing on this album, it sounded nothing like Shell Shocked.

This was a well put together album

WW3

www3 and street life was a sample of BBTP's new direction they were taking from a production standpoint...mac was putting alot of medicine in the ice cream with that junt

 

[TheRtist]

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.

we need Daz to speak on the protection that Snoop had via NL.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I nearly died laughing when womp womp came on back in the day. wasn't ready for that sound.

I like the resurgence of fiend in the later year with Currensy waaaaaaay better.

 

[NO-BadAzz]

The Streets Life album is so slept on, I wanna say P put that album out the same week or month Hot Boys Gurella Warfare came out.

It wasn't going to stand a chance.

Some of the marketing for NL in 99/00 was questionable in a sense on when the dropped albums.

But this one

WW3

Don't know if I can believe it (We Deadly and Bloody were very 1999-topical),but Mac said in an interview in 1999 that he made WW3 BEFORE Shell Shocked...

No chance against Hot Boys, CMR was ON FIRE at that point. If they put out Gorilla Warfare two years later, they wouldn't have gotten half the sales/attention

As a whole, GW is slightly better than Street Life

But this song beats anything on GW:

It was even heavier on this album with Paul & Juicy. Hard ass shyt, my favorite cut

"Don't Judge Me" is another great performance by C-Murder. I also agree that Crime Family was better than the C and Silkk solos that came out months earlier.

In terms of Gangsta Harmony, "Picture U and Me" and "Part 3" had potential. Maybe even "Twerk Som'n".
