Would there be a CMR without No Limit? Would there have been a Death Row without Ruthless? A Rocafella or Murder Inc without Bad Boy?

So yeah I actually want to push Ruthless in place of Death Row.

oh ok...there was no wrong answer, i was just asking b/c when i thought of the idea for the thread, i was thinking of the labels that had the biggest impact on the culture, but it is your personal mt. rushmore so...cool

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

I just did something quick...this isnt indicative of my Mt. Rushmore, but just did it for illustrations purposes.

No Limit was the label that broke the mold. From that point on signing to a major label was nearly a second thought. Why? Start your own. Other did it before Master P. but he was the one that made you truly believe anyone could do it. No Limit also helped usher in the big wave of southern rap.

Man you need to head over to Goldie's site and school some of them niggas.

Deathrow was from 1991-2001 everything after that was a remix or a stamp on someone else work they had copyrighted under Deathrow...
