I watched the video and I couldn't help but wonder whether he would have said the same things around 1998. He was probably thinking them at the time because his actions were consistent with it, but that's not what he was promoting in his music, which is kind of hypocritical - No Limit and Cash Money were by no means the only ones responsible for the shift of hip-hop culture towards mindless materialism, they're not even the main ones that should be blamed for it, but they did play a role.
