master p being relevant now? he may not be as relevant as he once was but you cant hide the fact that what he was doing as a record label wasnt impressive. his movies werent great but if i recall no other artist even tried making movies back then, and for as ghetto as "im bout it" was it is a good movie with piss poor acting but they werent actors at all. master p did huge things back then, he was a great business man and he created an empire from scratch. he made so much money he doesnt need to be relevant now and im sure he could care less. theres nothing wrong with trying new shit like movies or even a pro basketball player, he tried and thats more than a lot can say. and the fact that his name or no limit continues to be brought up to this day with how they did things in a way does make him/them relevant. especially with packaging. plastic cases, cd cases that produce moving pictures, and the fact that he was putting out 22-23 track albums with almost none being skits. and little to radio play, the only time he was on radio was with "make em say ugh" and "miss my homies"
the sad thing about master p, and no limit as a whole, as that there was a lot of talent there...from production to mcs. KLC and Kenoe were very good producers, and Mac is to this day one of my favorite MCs. The problem was over saturation and favortism, P screwed over a lot of people to focus on his family (Silk, who is atrocious to be specific)
I'm not sure I understand what he did that was so amazing. He had a label who's name was coming up and then he ran it into the ground.
BTW I don't know how much respect No Limit gets in other parts of the country, but I'm pretty sure in NY... I'm the only dude that bought a No Limit record back in the day, and that was from a used bin.
Master P, IMO, is like the MC Hammer of "down south" music. Hot for a second, but in the end wasn't really doin' much in the way of groundbreaking shit. They even talked shit on Master P on VH1. Case closed.

P is the TRUE KING OF THE SOUTH. he blew the doors open for the south in a major way, and took the indie game to a whole nother level. P & no limit had sooo many classic albums during their run. too many to name. no limit still gets play in the trunk to this day. everyone and their mama has studied p's blueprint when running an indie label. no indie label will ever come close to the success no limit had.
3/4th's of P's label mates furthered and solidified the Southern sound. You can call it trash as a lot of it was, but the genius he displayed from the album covers to the people he signed was felt long after he was not longer a factor in the rap game.
He fucked up and got too big, ended up selling himself out to non-hip hop outlets long before that became popular, and fizzled out. The same thing happened to Cash Money, but Wayne's popularity took the publicity and sting out of the fall.

The ALBUM COVERS!
The music was trash, and I'm supposed to give No Limit a pass because of their album covers? They made the same cover over and over again, and they looked like 5 dollar gas-station mixtape covers.
Besides Wayne, who's album I think I bought... Nothing out of No Limit was any good. Even Wayne turned into shit. I remember when he used to rap a little.

Yet for years after, people in the south and Midwest used that style for their album covers? Yeah, they were relevant for a long time.
And their music being trash is subjective and I'd say moot considering I think your East Coast music is trash with all the dj scratches covering up the beats, but we aren't going to debate geography.
Mystikal, Mia X, Fiend, Magic, C-Murder, Kane & Abel, Mr. Serv-On all had really tight albums during their reign.
Mystkail and Mia being the two who did stick around shortly after NL fell.
Kane & Abel successfully put out their "After the Tank" mixtapes and albums.
Mr. Serv-On's music never gained a big following, but I like his sound.
and Soulja Slim's music is the Southern equivalent to New York's Big L. His music has been respected since his death.
