Having a commercial ALONE doesn't equate to bring shoved down the public's throat, but if you've got 10+ no name artists on albums that also have spreads in magazines, commercial, and are getting air time, that's force fed.
what the hell air time did ghetto commission get, besides a low-budget commercial that aired for a couple weeks? i cant even recall a video.
the fact that their biggest look was a couple spreads in a magazine means absolutely nothing.
most no limit artists would've gotten better promotion on KOCH, but according to you, they were shoved down the public's throats.
GO HOME ROGER!!!
If anything, its underrated.
It has a cohesive dark sound.
Dope beats and rhymes aren't entertaining?
Musical value?
You sounding like a Kendrick stan now
Musically speaking
.
the album is repetitive.
repetitive beats, rhymes, barely any standout cuts and arguably no real home-run tracks.
it flows like one long ass song for the most part.
It's not normal or standard. Not that it doesn't happen.
This is more than using the same sample breh.
We calling it an answer record now?
That's exactly how I feel about Master P and No Limit

That it was very popular means nothing to me.
Of course not. Its not simple at all. Nobody will ever do what P did again.
But it wasn't a case of him making the best music...he made music that people wanted to get behind and he marketed and branded the hell out of it and then gave us new product every single week.
Make Em Say Uhh was all over the radio/video.
So was Silkk's shyt the following year.
I completely agree about everything that preceded Ghetto D though. And I also agree that only a few artists from No Limit really got a push.
Ok. But if they were selling based purely on quality - then the highest selling No Limit albums would also be the best ones. But that's not the case.

At least I don't think.
Prove me wrong.
answer record, spinoff record, spoof record.....they all fall under the same umbrella.
keyword: that's how YOU feel about master p/no limit. the bottom line is that its not about just how you or me feel. the general public has spoken.
lol. so are you saying that mobb deep wasn't nearly as successful, because they didn't make music that people want to hear? that's what it sounds like to me. you cant have your cake & eat it too......so will you admit that mobb deep's quality isn't that great?
songs like "make em say uhh" and "it aint my fault" were huge hits that were undeniable.
meanwhile, the more mid-level hits got about the same amount of play as low-level hits from other labels.
i see we agree on most of the rest of the label.
actually, i'd say that ghetto d was the best no limit album, and that was also the highest seller.
as for some of the other classics, you have to again take into consideration that they were independent based. there wasn't a hype machine rollout for no limit albums. they had to build their buzz up thru the music. the '98 run was a direct result of what they were doing in '96-97. albums like ice cream man, the shocker, 7 sins, etc didn't have the exposure to sell what the follow-up albums sold. especially the shocker & 7 sins, which a lot of their own fans by '98 didn't even know about.
@Wacky D
Just to further clarify. I'm not saying that Master P and No Limit didn't make good music at all. What I'm saying is that they had a quantity over quality approach.
but you acknowledged the run they were having before they began the quantity approach.
you can break their run down into different segments.
