remember when No Limit would drop a new album almost every week back in 1998? haha. I have to admit that I bought some No Limit cd's only because I thought the album covers were cool LOL. I never really liked Beats By The Pound's production. I think Master P and them were a lot tighter flowing over some K-Lou production. Most of those 1998 No Limit cd's are weak in my opinion. The only song I like From C-Murder-Life Or Death is Akickdoe. The only song I like from that Ghetto Commision cd is I'm A Soulja

Yup. I used to buy all the No Limit CDs, Jar!
IMHO, the best ones, and the ones which still get play in my ride and at home were...basically everything from '94 (starting w/ THE GHETTO's TRYIN' TO KILL ME) up to Soulja Slim's GIVE IT 2 EM RAW, which came out in late May '98. For the most part, you really can't go wrong with about 95% of the No Limit stuff from this period. For me, the decline started with Master P's MP DA LAST DON, which came out in June 1998. Something about that CD was just...phoned-in, and I had a gut feeling that No Limit was inching closer to more commercial-type shit. But they made some damn good shit during the '94/up-to-early '98 period--P's first four CDs, Silkk's hard THE SHOCKER, C-Murder's tight, deep LIFE OR DEATH, TRU's first two CDs, the great WEST COAST BAD BOYZ comps, the DOWN SOUTH HUSTLERS comp--all dope shit, IMHO.
As for the stuff that came after MP DA LAST DON, the only ones that I still play that much (if it all) are both of Mac's CDs (SHELL SHOCKED and WW3), Steady Mobbin's soulful BLACK MAFIA, Fiend's not-great-but-not-bad STREET LIFE, Soulja Slim's THE STREETZ MADE ME (R.I.P. Slim), and some of the better cuts on Snoop's last two NL CDs (NO LIMIT TOP DOGG and THE LAST MEAL). A lot of the songs on those later CDs (especially on Silkk's MADE MAN, Full Blooded, Prime Suspects, etc.) sound so rushed it's not funny! P made his money, and you can't hate on him for that, but I tend to agree with what Yukmouth said in MURDER DOG about how it's pointless for P to keep making records with all the money he's made...
PEACE!
