Did Those No Limit Albums In The 90s Really Sell?

[gemini86]

Niggas in nyc was not playin no fuckin no limit anywhere, if a song happen to come on the radio we left the premises. We were laughing at this corny ass nigga screaming n shit. And there was a 4321 remix made just to take master p off. Stop rewriting history . Niggas was not playing bout it bout it till the diplomats remixed it.

bout it bout it 2 was in heavy rotation in high school

Yes they sold like hot cakes. Master P had shameless promotion campaign for his artist. Thats why everybody in the IC want to be signed to no limit. Big extragant 4 page ads in rap magazines for unknown artists and Concurrent tour scheduling with other Priority/EMI artists. P was ahead of curve by filming videos for B sides and album cuts and promoting at underground level to build loyal fanbase that went to record store every tuesday to buy a nolimit album. P also sold his music at bargin price. No Limit Cassettes were 6.99 and CD were 10.99-12.99. Bouncing and Swinging double CD was $16.99 in 1995. When AEOM came out a few months later it was sold at 27.99-35.99. TRU double album was only $12.99 on CD in 1997 when LAD was being sold for $29.99 the same year. P gave his buyers more music for their dollar. Most no limit CDs push 70+ minutes. A few albums I forgot have overburn and clock in at 80+ minutes on 1 disc. No limit double albums were 2.5 hours full of new music. Also I thing that I miss the most that P still did on a major level was list feature artists on the cover. Soon as you picked up the album in the store you already know who is on it. P used to make sure his artists have the whole tank on an album. It was practially like having a new no limit album every week in 98. Add all of that up and you have the reason why P greatest rap hustler.

Both versions of 4321 were pretty hot

The way P kept everything to a bare minimum and in house is a big part of that team winning ..... production to art work and advertising

I remember when I first heard P, I was like who is this fuck nigga with all this uughh shit but the force was too strong and became a huge fan after hearing ghetto D and became a no limit junkie.

And this thread definitely has undertones of hate. Did no limit albums really sell???? I'll tell u this, shit wasn't no illusion.

Leaders have direction, Master P the goat leader. Homie the Keenan Ivory Wayans of rap.

other than the beats by the pound situation not working out around the end of the 90's. P started spreading himself too thin and the quality of his brand took a hit,

from the low budget films, to the ugly ass sneakers , to the no limit gear/knock off fubu lookin shit etc....

it just was too much out there and eventually when guys like DMX started to blow up and Jay-Z started getting recognized nationally it kinda put that no limit era to bed, not to mention cash money blowing up.

 

[_God_]

How much did mac and fiend sell percyyyy???

*camron voice*

 

[_God_]

No limit ain't sell more than g unit, foh

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

[5 Grand]

No limit ain't sell more than g unit, foh

I think its the other way around.

But my question is who the hell was buying it?

no limit had some of the most loyal fans, and like another poster said on here, P was selling his albums at discount rates compared to the other music that was out at the time and word of mouth is what really got P out there, almost every young hustler would be muttering some tru/silk/master p shit under his breath on a daily so even the people who wasn't on it yet, they still wanted to see what all the hype was about. P had the niggaz who sell crack listening to his music, point blank period, and eventually it caught on with some people and took off.

No Limit fell off....came around 2000. The south was making noise with the tank and Cash Money. The east was rising off DMX and Ruff Ryders, Jay and the ROC, Method Man and Redman had they own shit. .....

It was a good time to be a music fan
