This is especially crazy considering that the majority of the music was striaght garbage. I've never understood the appeal of No Limit music, and I could never stomach an entire album by any artist on there, besides Snoop of course.It was raw street shit. We had Ghetto D on fucking repeat constantly, bourbons and lacs was a bad ass song to get high to.yea Ghetto D,Ice Cream Man,Shell Shocked,Thereīs One In Every Family,Life or Death,Ghetto Fabulous,WW 3 etc were all filled with raw street shit that would get the clubs and parties jumping like crazy.

damn i was flipping through an old XXL from 99 and i saw something thatīs pretty crazy. i saw that No Limit had dropped close to 20 albums in 1 year that all went atleast gold(8 of them went platinum or better). now thatīs some of craziest shit iīve seen as far as sales is concerned for any company, and P had one of those deals Death Row almost landed with Sony that meant that he spent all of the money on the projects but it also means that he made 87% of the money. now i know why P calls himself the best hustler in the game coz thatīs crazy. No Limit=the biggest dynasty that hip hop has ever witnessed. No Limit=hardest fall off of a hip hop dynasty aswell.
to peeps comparing No Limit to Shady/Aftermath think about this. Interscope basically makes ALL OF THE MONEY of their sales so they put up a whole lot of money behind the projects they release. P was makin like i said over 80% of the money therefore Priority didnīt put up any money behind him. had they done that P wouldīve outsold Interscope as a whole. Dre,Em and 50 were all rich as shit when they started their record companies so they had money to play with, P started No Limit with 10k and made it into various things that at one point were valued at almost 1 billion dollars.
They spent very little on their albums, too. It was almost all In-House.P = Greatest business man in Hip Hop History.
he fucked up when he shit on beats by the pound a.k.a the medicine men
well P had one of those deals(iīve forgot what they are called)which basically kept No Limit an independet company as far as money making is concerned and all Priority did was press up the albums pretty much. most of the marketing and whatnot was done by Pīs personal marketing company. and he signed Beats By The Pound and Deadly Soundz as in-house producers meaning that he paid them to do a certain amount of songs for him and he signed them up for a whole bunch of songs and paid them for all of the tracks when he signed them. thus he made it impossible for them to demand more and more per beat once No Limit blew up so they produced all of NLīs early albums(on Pirority but they weren not No Limitīs fiirst albums) from front to back and P had already paid them so he made all of them money. and what made it possible for P to land a deal like that is that he had an album go gold 100% independently(the first TRU album with his brothers on it)and he sold hundreds of thousands of records indie therefor the major labels had to offer him an incredible deal and they hardly had to fund him coz he had all of the stones in place already.

i dunno how much of the 15 dollers master p made on each copy soldbut deathrow used to get 5$ off the 15.. so they make 5 million for each platinum plaqueam pretty sure dre got atleast the same deal or maybe a lil betterso when eminem sells 8 millsaftermath makes 40 millem prolly makes 1$ per copyu got promo money cut off so net profit is atleast 20 mill for dream pretty sure though P made much more than that cause its a print and distribute dealand he prolly fucks his artists over too
Master P comes from New Orleans and attended the University of Houston on a basketball scholarship. However, he soon dropped out of college and moved to Richmond, taking business class at Merritt Junior College. Using his grandfather's inheritance, Master P formed No Limit as a record store, then turned it into a label.
