Yeah I agree with your MP the Last Don comment - I was hugely disappointed with that when it dropped.
How about Fiend - There's One in Every Famiy - another classic
Sure. That Fiend CD came out a couple of weeks before Soulja Slim's GIVE IT 2 EM RAW, so it would fit into my personal "period when No Limit was dope", which, like I said in my post, would have been '94 up to May '98. Fiend was a really tight lyricist who never really got the "push up to the front" that P gave Silkk and C-Murder (and neither did Mac, Mr. Serv-On, Soulja Slim, Big Ed, Kane & Abel, Steady Mobbin' or Sons of Funk).
As for the others, like Skull Duggrey, Prime Suspects, The Gambino Family, The Ghetto Commission and Full Blooded--I don't know; I liked their "guest appearances" on other NL CDs better than the stuff they did on their own CDs. For example, I thought Full Blooded was tight on C-Murder's LIFE OR DEATH, and Prime Suspects had a dope song on the I'M BOUT IT soundtrack, but it seemed liked on their own CDs, I would listen and my feeling was, "there's SOME talent there, but for some reason this CD isn't quite making it for me." Maybe they would have been better if they'd been flowing over their own production or had more say over their songs, concepts, etc. As for Mercedez--look at the cover. That's all you need to know about that CD, IMHO.
PEACE!
