I dunno about ya'll, but I could never stand No Limit. And the main reason I hate No Limit is because P essentially got rich by imitating the West Coast sound and re-selling it as pop music. Almost nobody on No Limit had any talent whatsoever (except for Snoop and Mystikal), and Beats by the Pound's production was simply a bastardized, cheaper version of G-Funk. The only reason No Limit records sold well was because they were done so cheaply that they sounded raw, and white kids like that because the more underground it sounds, the more they think of it as "street".As far as Cash Money - yeah, their records didn't have much substance, but at least they came up with their own unique (for the time) production style and they actually contributed something new to hip-hop. More than I can say for P.
Mack 10 was an affiliate with No Limit. Hell, he played a part in I'm Bout It. West coast motherfucker jumping out of a whip in Ben Davis flashing steel.

More than I can say for P.No doubt that No Limit def has some West Coast elements to it, but so did the Geto Boys. And P lived in Richmond, Cali for a while, he dropped those "West Coast Bad Boyz" albums, so obviously he was influenced by the west coast sound - Just like I am, and i'm from the midwest. And not all of their songs were raw and cheap sounding. Make Em Say Ugh was a clean ass record, and arguably their biggest hit.Talent wise, they had a decent pool. You mentioned Mystikal and Snoop, but BBTP were talented, and so was Mia X and Mac.
i liked 96-98 NO LIMIT.... never like cash money.... what else?

Yeah...their overall sound definitely didn't reflect G-Funk...they actually re-defined what southern music sounded like, and that's why South music is so 808-heavy and has that bouncy "crunk" tempo to it. Before No Limit, down south music sounded soulful like with Outkast and Goodie Mob, and was suuuuuuuper fast tempo and strictly for dance, like Luke's music. No Limit's sound was somethin like crunk, but most of their songs were a lot more laid back. Yeah some of P's older songs sounded like they were G-Funk inspired, such as "Mr. Ice cream man" "Bout it bout it" and "How you do dat there"....but their biggest tracks, such as "It ain't my fault" "Hot boyz n girls" "Make em say uhh" "Thinkin about you" "That's that nigga/rapper" "Hoody hoo" and "No Limit Soldiers" had their own sound that helped begin the evolution of what Lil Jon and the rest of the artists down south sound like.
