Master P Says He Sold 75 Million Albums On No Limit Records

[KillaCham]

.he had "it aint my fault" and that song was dayum near the biggest song that year...

WTF nigga??

folk you can use that gimmick on other folks who post, but that shit wont fly wit me...I was around folk..I know what was when it was...

Lol wtf are you talking about? You sound so stupid talkin about that song was damn near the biggest of the year.. you know Billboard publishes year-end charts at the end of every year right? Guess which song wasn't even Top 100 on there at the end of 1998...

 

[Knives Amilli]

Nobodys shown numbers to disprove anything KillaChams posted....just conjecture....

I mean P and the Tank had one of, if not the greatest run in Hip Hop history but 75 million album for a label collectively is difficult as shit. Especially for a Southern Rap Label based out of New Orleans. Everybody has a ceiling and Southern Rap has always had the lowest ceiling of all the subgenres in hip hop.

 

[Knock_Twice]

I can believe it. No Limit had me broke back in the day. Damn near every week I was at Circuit City or a local spot. Down here majority of their albums sold out quick. Best you could do at copying was going to the flea market and get it on tape and that sound conversion was choppy as fuck. I bought albums and singles. Single discs normally had a clean/dirty/instrumental/remix and maybe one or two bonus songs.

P put people on. If you was with them you dropped an album or had some kind of exposure. Not like how Cash Money does now. Former people on No Limit can't say they didn't get a chance. Might not have gotten the best videos or radio play but you got a chance to record an album which costs money. Probably only a handful of dudes didn't make albums and that was during the time when people were leaving or getting locked up.

Dude just gets hate for no reason when his hustle game was goat and he put people on.

Fuck outta here with that hip hop is dead because of P. If anything he took what he learned out the Bay and used that as his foundation. Dudes be on labels for years and drop nothing no album, no single. P made sure you knew who people was with their features, cd covers inside cds & magazines.

Folk in here pulling out numbers off the internet from Ghetto D...dude forgot how singles were sold lol..that's why I figure he was either 6 or wasn't born at all when P and them boys were rolling...if you was around, you already knew how it was on Tuesday and this was before the world knew about P....

Dude only featured his artist off NL...and that's the shit I like...he went out and fuck with only certain rappers, UGK suave house, etc..other black owned rap labels when he had feat.....

Dude rarely got any radio play..so you can't even factor in spins..(like how they do it now), no award shows or BET shows to promote his shit (like how it's setup for rappers today) he wasn't on BET countdown or MTV countdown..dude was still pushing gold and platinum lol..and folk pulling out internet numbers lol...

P said time after time, he rather be rich and not famous than famous and known and broke lol...

With ALL these numbers rounded up ... and if hypothetically every single person on the label sold 500k (when most didn't even sell 250k) .. still under 50 million total. A more realistic number would be 35 million-ish.

Master P - 10 million

Snoop Dogg - 5 million

Smilk Da Shocker - 3 million

TRU - 3 million

C-Murder - 2.5 million

Mystikal - 2.5 million

I Got the Hook Up (soundtrack) - 1 million

Mean Green the album - 500k

We Can't Be Stopped (No Limit Records album) - 500k

That's not even the entire catalog of sales.. you forgot single sales, Silkk had a few albums, I'm bout it soundtrack, all p albums surpass 10 mil, silkk sold more than that overall, TRU too, West coast bad Boyz 2, down south hustlers 1&2.. this list missing a lot of stuff.

Lol na those numbers are generous as fuck. Those are artist totals too, not single album totals. West Coast Bad Boyz 2 is included in that number. And how many singles do you really think niggas in No Limit sold? 30 million? Lol more like 5 or 6. Other than Master P, barely any of their singles even made the charts. But hey, 100 albums and 30something mill sold that ain't shabby.

Folk you sound like you were 8 when P and them had the game on lock..one reason is you're using Internet polls (guessed) by somebody lol..smh...folk you can try and dismantle the dude hustle as much as you can but if you wasn't around 13 or 14 to understand what took place in 96-99, you just doing like what everybody is doing...pulling down internet estimates...P didn't post up numbers at times...

How many singles did "I always feel like somebody watching me sold", you only getting singles off of Ghetto Dope, you don't even have the number "ice cream man" singles sold..or "Is there a heaven for a gangsta" and that sold was big...folk you prolly couldn't even listen to rap music back then lol...

Those who 'could' listen to rap music and were knowledgeable of how those years were when P took over know 75 million sold wasn't a far fetch reach for P

Dude what about "bounce that ass" single...hell how many did the single "I"m bout it" sale? lol....you do know it was 2 versions... Swamp Nigga,

These are singles that ppl bout outta the store when they didn't buy albums...

Dude said his singles didn't chart...again you are taking how shit is today and trying to fit it in how it may have been in 96-99, you are so off... that's why I always read folks post and can tell who live in that era, or who just type in the album on youtube and make comments on it lol..not understanding how big that album was when it came out...

You prolly don't even know about singles being sold for 3.99 and having two version (clean/dirty side) with the instrumental

All you doing is guessing. Just cause a song is big on Rap City and in the streets doesn't mean it sold units. You sound hurt. Shouldn't you be filming a new ICDC commercial, Percy??

Folk it was on the radio more so than any other P's single...nationwide..even MTV started playing it more so..other than Make them say ugh that song was a cross-over lol....stop it folk..you was 6 when in 96-99, you have no knowledge lol..

Folk...you was 8 in 1998 and you wasn't even listening too rap music

Tell me something, why everybody from wycelf to montell Jordan to G.Lervert was screaming No Limit Soulja and I'm bout it....Splackavelle (google him, you maybe too young to know who is that lol) and the dude was rarely on TV then...folk cut it out..you was too young to even understand, now you wanna pull down some estimated numbers that were put together....

 

[5 Grand]

I was in my mid 20s when No Limit was poppin. I was living in New York and me and my friends didn't care for his style of rapping or his music, but I'd be lying if I said "I'm Bout It Bout It" "Make 'Em Say Uggh" and "It Ain't My Fault" weren't getting play on Hot 97.

I remember we used to watch the I'm Bout It video, which was a pretty decent flick at the time. I also remember that if you opened a No Limit CD, there was a advertisement for another artist on No Limit.

Considering that there was no file sharing, he had the entire South on lock and was putting out a new cd every week, it's entirely possible that he shipped 75 million units. But I wonder what happened to them? I mean, you can ship a pallet of 10,000 units to Best Buy and Best Buy can sell half of them at full price ($11.99) then put them on sale ($7.99) and eventually put them in the $0.99 bin. I know that's what I paid for the Ghetto Dope LP - $0.99

Folk...you was 8 in 1998 and you wasn't even listening too rap music

Tell me something, why everybody from wycelf to montell Jordan to G.Lervert was screaming No Limit Soulja and I'm bout it....Splackavelle (google him, you maybe too young to know who is that lol) and the dude was rarely on TV then...folk cut it out..you was too young to even understand, now you wanna pull down some estimated numbers that were put together....

Lol so? And everybody was screaming Ruff Ryders in 1998-1999, yet not 1 album on that label hit double plat outside of DMX and Eve's solo. Just cause its popular doesn't mean it does numbers. And Master P better thank Montell Jordan cause that song with him, Silkk, and P was the biggest song anyone under No Limit has ever been on, ever.

 

[GetoBoy]

Lol @ this nigga acting like "it ain't my fault" didn't peak at #1 on the hip hop charts and #18 overall that year on the charts ...75 million is a lot to say you sold and if he didn't sell that much he sho can't be too far off of it

You ever hear of dubbing? Basically most portable stereo cd players at the time could indeed record on portable cassettes (still a very viable medium back then) while the CD was playing.

Master P sold 75MIllion? Word?

half his albums did chart. If anything he probably sold 10-15Million IF THAT

I agree that most of them probably sold 100K at best, but there's a lot more than the ones you listed. I can't name them all, I doubt if anybody could, but at one point he was dropping a cd per week for a good year.

^ Pretty much. I made a list where every single artist on that label - that either I can't find how much they sold, they never had an album certified, or sold so little that nobody knows - hypothetically sold a minimum of 500,000 ... the total came out to a bit under 50 million and niggas still acting like I hid the other 25 million somewhere. LOL

With ALL these numbers rounded up ... and if hypothetically every single person on the label sold 500k (when most didn't even sell 250k) .. still under 50 million total. A more realistic number would be 35 million-ish.

Master P - 10 million

Snoop Dogg - 5 million

Smilk Da Shocker - 3 million

TRU - 3 million

C-Murder - 2.5 million

Mystikal - 2.5 million

Mia X - 1 million

Soulja Slim - 1 million

504 Boyz - 1 million

Lil Romeo - 1 million

Fiend - 750k

EA-Ski - 500k

West Coast Bad Boyz - 500k

Sonya C - 500k

Lil Ric - 500k

Dangerous Dame - 500k

Tre-8 - 500k

Skull Duggery - 500k

Steady Mobb'n - 500k

Kane & Abel - 500k

Mr. Serv-On - 500k

Sons of Funk - 500k

We Can't Be Stopped (No Limit Records album) - 500k

That's not even the entire catalog of sales.. you forgot single sales, Silkk had a few albums, I'm bout it soundtrack, all p albums surpass 10 mil, silkk sold more than that overall, TRU too, West coast bad Boyz 2, down south hustlers 1&2.. this list missing a lot of stuff.

Lol na those numbers are generous as fuck. Those are artist totals too, not single album totals. West Coast Bad Boyz 2 is included in that number. And how many singles do you really think niggas in No Limit sold? 30 million? Lol more like 5 or 6. Other than Master P, barely any of their singles even made the charts. But hey, 100 albums and 30something mill sold that ain't shabby.

Folk you sound like you were 8 when P and them had the game on lock..one reason is you're using Internet polls (guessed) by somebody lol..smh...folk you can try and dismantle the dude hustle as much as you can but if you wasn't around 13 or 14 to understand what took place in 96-99, you just doing like what everybody is doing...pulling down internet estimates...P didn't post up numbers at times...

How many singles did "I always feel like somebody watching me sold", you only getting singles off of Ghetto Dope, you don't even have the number "ice cream man" singles sold..or "Is there a heaven for a gangsta" and that sold was big...folk you prolly couldn't even listen to rap music back then lol...

Those who 'could' listen to rap music and were knowledgeable of how those years were when P took over know 75 million sold wasn't a far fetch reach for P

Dude what about "bounce that ass" single...hell how many did the single "I"m bout it" sale? lol....you do know it was 2 versions... Swamp Nigga,

These are singles that ppl bout outta the store when they didn't buy albums...

Dude said his singles didn't chart...again you are taking how shit is today and trying to fit it in how it may have been in 96-99, you are so off... that's why I always read folks post and can tell who live in that era, or who just type in the album on youtube and make comments on it lol..not understanding how big that album was when it came out...

You prolly don't even know about singles being sold for 3.99 and having two version (clean/dirty side) with the instrumental

All you doing is guessing. Just cause a song is big on Rap City and in the streets doesn't mean it sold units. You sound hurt. Shouldn't you be filming a new ICDC commercial, Percy??

U do know in 1996-1999 ppl went to the store and had to buy the album...You couldn't copy a whole album folk lol..stop using (today's) logic and thinking it was the way back then...

if it was bump'd in the streets, the shit pushed units...so I guess Itunes and getting it off the internet was around then huh lol...folk stop it...you think you could have went on the internet and dl the album huh lol..

smh...bruh understand how stuff was when it was out instead of just assuming off youtube comments

You ever hear of dubbing? Basically most portable stereo cd players at the time could indeed record on portable cassettes (still a very viable medium back then) while the CD was playing.

Heard of it, but it was rare to dub 'whole' albums...22 songs was alot of songs to dub folk and everybody didn't have dubbing stereos and cd players...remember cds were new and everybody wasn't rocking cd players in cars and stuff too...

Sometimes a cassette single was $0.99 so people bought those.

So it would be albums and singles included in that 75 mil is what you're saying. That's believable also. Like I said earlier in this post I bought both albums and singles.
