I remember during the height of the No Limit days seeing these new cats by the name of Cash Money Records putting ads in XXL, Rap Pages, The Source etc. and thinking man these fools are just trying to copy NLR so bad! I would have never thought that CMR would have gotten so big, and that the little runt aka Weezy would take the country by storm.

you know what though, them pen and pixel joints did kinda make you wanna buy albums.
As bad as they look now, anyone who had a dope album cover with champagne bottles, poker chips and the royal family jewels plastered all over probably did quite well. And this was just pre napster era or at least in the early stages.

^^^ thats why no limit was so successful, rap was at its highest point in terms of album sales. P capitalized like a mothafucka. I fucked with No Limit hard although i didnt buy that many no limit albums. I slept on Mac and Skull Duggery and both them had solid albums. I actually liked that Made Men album that Silk made.

you speak the truth. those covers did people well. as fucking ridiculous as the covers were, they actually got people to buy it. too bad the rap game dosent operate like that anymore.

like the charge it to the game cover? i thought that was creative imo.

mia x was tighter than most the dudes on no limit.
i was listening to "no limit soldiers" from that album the other day and was amazed at how much of a lyricist mia was/is. she was easily one of the top 3 spitters on the label and outshined a lot of them on the tracks she was on.

listening to her also made me realize how horrible P was as a rapper. i didn't know it at the time but he freestyled (a la husalah) the majority of his tracks and it showed. he fuckin sucked.

yeah serv-on was cool for a hot second. his 1995-97 style was pretty good and i liked his spelling words out style when he used it sparingly (like on soulja slim's or mia x's unlady like albums) but he did that shit to death on the last leg of his career and basically turned himself into a shitty rapper.
