That same $170k house in 1997 is probably worth $400k today. Sounds like P knew them cats wouldn’t think about the future had he given them money upfront. He can work a low wage job if he wanted to and still be comfortable bc he doesn’t have to worry about living expenses. He can pass that $400k house down to his kids. P was making them cats wealthy, not rich.
@@kid5042 Not cap at all..... Back then if you didn't go at LEAST GOLD (500k sales) you didn't get a second album on No Limit.

not if you earned millions, didn't receive it but you have a house that's worth less than what you actually earned. Could have bought the house and more with your own money. Its an old trick in the industry. kind of like a pimp buying the hos some clothes with their own money.
@Jarvis Jones you don't understand how publishing and other royalties get paid for over time and for how much time, even if my exact numbers are off, the price of the house is less than what those guys would have made had they received their royalties and bought the house themselves. Another thing to pay attention to, right in this video, didn't dude say he ended up owing back 260,000 or something like that? Do the math. If you ever do business, music or not, think hard and get some legal advice before you accept gifts from a person that is in charge of how you get paid. You may just be buying your own gift and still owe more. Good luck.
The fact that hes still in the same house that's paid for speaks volume! No radio play, no gold/platinum plaque, it's A lot of major artist who can't say that to date! No Limit/T.R.U for life!.

This was an in depth interview 💯 I remember in 99 when P had Ron Mercer and Derek Anderson on No Limit Sports. Shit even Heisman winner Ricky Williams. I still bump that Prime Suspects album to this day 💪🏾🔥🔥
"Fck you, & ya brother" I remember this cat!🤣🤣Officer Friendly, put these boiz, on a bogus mission! Good to see cuzin back out here on the land..He owed interest back on the money spent! He would've made it all back if he wouldn't had gotten locked up! Hopefully he's learning the game now, & utilizing that 10mins of past fame, to right his wrongs, & double back on it! A real hustler can get it back 10 times over💯💯
Dope interview alot of inside scoop that we never heard before an that's the type of content I'm sure us as viewers want to see an listen to especially from the second tier artist from no limit. But prime suspects was dope. They album is a classic an fire. One of the best albums from no limit. An he was the best out the group.
Buying an artist a house and car is what old Jews used to do to black artists in the 50s, all while robbing them blind with their contracts. It has been said by some No Limit artists how P fucked them over when it came to their publishing and royalties. If you're an artist who never popped, yes, you should be grateful for that house and car in your name, but for those artist that did pop, P should of paid them accordingly, which he didn't. He was even ganking his own son Romeo. That should tell you something.
Sometimes you know people better than they know themselves, if he’s salty all these years for the house, car and the money, imagine how salty he would’ve been if he got straight up money and wasted it on the stuff p bought him
For them to not be proficient lyricists, they did their job well. Prime suspects was one of my favorite groups from no limit. Glad to finally hear from one of them.
Our people never teach our children about economics, stocks, bonds, good credit, savings, business etc. That’s why we blow all our money on cars, partying and women! Then we blame everyone else, and God because we didn’t capitalize on all the opportunities given to us
He ain't lying them boys pulled up fresh in them camaros. Astro world was the shit broads everywhere and Water World 💦 was next door. Those were the days I swear
Cat got those Buc-ees shirt on 😂. When I lived in Texas I loved that place. On place on the road between Houston and Dallas or Texas to Arkansas I went to bathroom at.
P looked out and people wasn't realizing that he was looking out. He said why you quit a job and don't have another job? And that's real. He was locked up and saw them makin $$$. Admitting to never writing before and never been interested in writing, P put him on.
Nice video interview.Interesting ..man I remember I used to listen to all them No Limit cds and wear the clothing back then.Koo memories mane. Greetings from Mexico
Hard to tell young mf'ers from the ghetto to spend their money wisely and save up and flip something. But hell, he got a nice house free, never have to pay rent or mortgage again. That's a dream come true there. It takes most people the better part of their lives to pay off a house before they can enjoy life without that house note coming around every month. Not too bad a deal. Plus life memories.
Facts they can say what they want but in the reality of life that’s not to bad of a deal what they got because they probably would’ve never obtained or accomplished that on their own in a whole lifetime facing the odds they faced from the ghetto!
as long as you have the right mentality..my ex wife got a free & clear home from me worth a quarter ticket..within a year she was doing a refi and put a mortgage on herself..because she had blown thru her liqud cash on frivoulous trips , shopping isht...& she was 40 ! old enough to know better you would think..& esp when you have someone like me in your ear saying you dont need to blow money like that & to invest instead .....some people you just cant help..guess who she is calling for help now? the same cat whose help she didnt appreciate in the beginning...the same cat who gave her the home..me lol..she is from the hood & Im from the burbs & tried to show her better that what she came up knowing but....just like this cat is expecting P to come thru
RaRe report I love your content! You do a great of covering New Orleans rap history and other Louisiana legends. Can you do another interview with this guy and ask some more questions about Kevin Miller and how he died?
It just goes to show no matter how talented u are you must learn and know the business. Also don't be afraid to ask questions if it's something u don't understand.
For thouse who don't understand the business, No Limit was flooding the market with product, he was getting a million dollar advance from Priority records, per release, and he was trying to release as many albums per month, quality or not. So the label was financing future releases. Each album minimum advance based on 100,000 units purchased at $10 wholesale was one million dollars. So it was not Percy Miller being generous and looking out for the hood, it was Percy Miller looking for anyone he could profit off of. The majority of the talent on No Limit was trash, it was not about talent for Percy, just dollars, but eventually the public catches on, and your brand starts to fade, and eventually you are out of business. Beats By The Pound was the No Limit Sound, Master P, Mystical and a few others were the face or in some cases the talent. When he stopped paying them and other key executives behind the scene, it was a wrap.
@@aermax7321 People tend to not understand that. Go work for a job and should know what you accept that position, you will not be bigger than your boss or the company you work for. I think the greed settle in when they saw P on the Forbes for being worth that much. They wanted what he had and forget that he's the boss. They should have signed contracts and whatever that's when that contract that was broken, then they could sue him to get their money. But...they didn't do that!
One thing I like bout the N.O they accent vibes the same but split into different groups he in the Mystical vibe group he reminds and sound the movement I peep that!
He likely was told he owed $260,000 because, if the record label fronts you any money, whether it’s in the form of money or things (houses, cars, clothes, trips, etc), it’s an ADVANCE that you have to pay back, and it’s recouped through your royalties (mechanical and even sometimes publishing). So, that’s also why he probably didn’t receive any royalties. It recouped the payment for his house and car. Sounds like he got a standard deal that all artists get. It’s just he wasn’t aware of the business. Honestly, it was a blessing that he was getting those 2 checks per month considering he owed. That typically doesn’t happen with any artists, not even the majors, if you still haven’t recouped what you owed. Remember when Left Eye did the breakdown on TLC’s money? It’s like that. The only difference, he wasn’t performing the shows, but he did do the acting. Maybe the checks was for his acting. Either way, it doesn’t sound like he was screwed since it sounds like he had the average deal that all the artists have, but with some icing on top with those checks, considering the circumstances. P probably did the best he could under the circumstances.
Master P was fair wit his artist,idc wat nobody say🤷🏾♂️ bought dem homes 🏠 broke'em 📴 wit a allowance every 2wks for 6months.Mentored uncle snoop 🐶 now he own "Deathrow"got snoop fruity loops 🥣 🤷🏾♂️ give Uncle "P" his flowers💐real talk...✊🏾
young artists from the streets don't seem to understand that videos, studio time, CDs, etc are not free. In the music industry EVERYTHING costs sumthin. Any artists will tell you that they barely break even on releasing albums. Their money comes from tours and guest spots on other artists albums.
The mane said P was was giving them 2500 each on the 1st and the 15th for years and they wasn'teven that damn popular....P is and will forever be King of the South
One thing master p did was , give Niggas No actual contract except (Mia Ceedy, silk ,mystikal Mac and slim ), hella money a house a car - u not knowing the music game ALL your publishing & royalty checks go to him that’s how he go so rich ! PRODUCER Executive producer Arranged All by master p 🤣😂🤣
he own the company, how someone going to be bigger than him when he handled all the groundwork and business ?! That's like working at McDonald's and you expect to get the corporation money.
@@OG_Joey_ Yeah, but they didn't have contracts. If otherwise, they would be able to sue him. We see how that turned out. Whatever he did give them they didn't use it to their advantage. it's not his fault that they weren't educated. Especially, 25 years later. They should be set up in life. That's all I'm saying. Business is business and when u dealing with street or ghetto people they not gonna see it that way.
Never knew why Steady Mobb'n left No Limit until now but this makes sense since only Crooked I was featured on the Foolish Soundtrack and not Billy Bavgate as both the Steady Mobb'n due... lowkey this might be one of the best NL interviews Uzi dropped gems in this one. I'm still curious why the Prime Suspects stopped rapping after the No Limit Soldiers Compiliation since we didn't get 1 song or feature from them in all of 1999.
I don't think P robbed anybody on no limit for there money but I think he definitely had alot more to give them if you asked me. P knew everybody wasnt going to go platinum so he didnt promote (which means spend money) on everybody album. He was using everybody else album to promote them by putting there release date an album cover on everybody album not to mention they already featured on it. You basically gotta promote yourself by going hard on everybody else album an gain a fan base think about it that's how we learn to like prime suspects an other artist on no limit cause we heard them on everybody else album first before they dropped there own. No limit was running shit so hard that even second tier artist was selling records. But see P was making TO MUCH DAM MONEY cause u gotta remember P had that 85 15 deal. So what he did was put a bunch of albums out in one year. Think about it, p album, c album, silkk album alone gonna sell 3 - 5 million a piece. Then you add everybody else album in one year no limit probably sold over 10 million records. 85 percent of 10 million in one year do the math. An this is just an example cause it could be more. P would by them cars houses jewelry pay up all the Bill's an give them a check. But they pay all that back once them records come out so they really not getting nothing back but like he said 2,500 a month an a check for like 5k 10k
P overall was fair overall these guys got opportunities, houses in nicer neighborhoods, more money then what they would ever see in lifetime. P had about 100 artist its like an NBA team only 50% of the roster is good...look man P put on some of these guys who didn't want to be rappers ...I think maybe 4 mystikal a hand ful others was or wanted to rap ....not trying to be funny but these aint highly vetted P has been known to pay artist 50/50 deals but once he sign with majors they wasnt having that so it put a strain on P and the artist's relations
@@playboy901 i feel you but that's light money. An u right alot of albums didnt come out either. I love no limit I'm a big no limit fan. I bought everybody album. But I was young when they was hot I didn't know nothing about business period. But now that I'm older i understand. An it's ok nothing wrong with that. Samething with the artist. You always hear them say they was young they didnt know the business they was just happy to get the money they was getting cars an all that. Now you see them when they get older they realize everything now an realize they could of got more money. Some was their own fault to though
25K for six months that’s $300,000 and not taking up for P because I’m on the outside looking in but most artist in the 90’s wasn’t touching $300,000 K with houses paid for Cars paid for etc etc
@@stacknsat damn well said I’ve heard that second deal with Universal changed everything and the way he had to do business and work with his artist. And that’s where the issues started. I also believe that it could have been a few things industry wise that P didn’t have complete knowledge of either.
This why I put No Limit over Cash Money! They had a lot more people and more of them was certified in the streets and made music you can vibe too at the same time, for them not to be rappers...
@@kid5042 hell no wtf you talking about C-murder, Mac and Soulja Slim shot alone beat anything Cash Money ever put out not to mention MiaX,Tru,Marcelo,Mystakal and others not to mention Master P even dropped good shit Like Ghetto D,Ice Cream man and Last Don...

Moral of the story, don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Facts… that sounds like what they all did not knowing it was the brand no limitthat made them go gold and platinum 🤦🏾♂️
No bro, the moral of the story is when a man teach you how to fish feed yourself.
Bro rocking tha Buc-ee's Tee ..
I got 8 of em Lol
Makes sense why Fiend and others are still koo with P... They listened and learned the game and didn't go in debt with P.
Much respect to his brother for mentioning steady Mobbin people always leave them out of the no limit history but they were part of that real West Oakland ghost town shout out to Bavgate and crooked I
We are still alive and even when we don't leave a comment.... nonetheless..... it's good to see we were tuned in...4 corners of the world that was just one of many hits 🎯 they had.....

@@slemkapone5769 Quarter Key Quarter key/ What she do for me
Yep they were slept on.
.. get it how you live on the bout it soundtrack 💪💪💪
Keep asking ppl about Kev Miller, he like the mystery piece of NL History
Prime Suspect album will forever be timeless!!! True Classic
This was an in depth interview 💯 I remember in 99 when P had Ron Mercer and Derek Anderson on No Limit Sports. Shit even Heisman winner Ricky Williams. I still bump that Prime Suspects album to this day 💪🏾🔥🔥
d Anderson and ron Mercer was on Jordan my guy .. i live in Louisville, Kentucky
@@wesseywes3197 What you mean? Jordan never had a sports agency.
@@dollarsignhtotheo2dubbs579 my bad i thought you was talking about their shoe deal.
They say the deals he gave out are used as the example of bad sports management contract in some college somewhere
This dude kept it 100 no ego!
This is probably one of the most honest interviews that I've ever heard.
Glad you interviewed him🤗I remember the group, wish they talk more about Kevin r.i.h🌹🕊️🙏🏿
"Fck you, & ya brother" I remember this cat!🤣🤣Officer Friendly, put these boiz, on a bogus mission! Good to see cuzin back out here on the land..He owed interest back on the money spent! He would've made it all back if he wouldn't had gotten locked up! Hopefully he's learning the game now, & utilizing that 10mins of past fame, to right his wrongs, & double back on it! A real hustler can get it back 10 times over💯💯
BIG FACTS
Dope interview alot of inside scoop that we never heard before an that's the type of content I'm sure us as viewers want to see an listen to especially from the second tier artist from no limit. But prime suspects was dope. They album is a classic an fire. One of the best albums from no limit. An he was the best out the group.
True story
E a real one 💯 I been sending beats to em and had a few conversations with em….I been waiting to hear his NL story and we finally got it
Buying an artist a house and car is what old Jews used to do to black artists in the 50s, all while robbing them blind with their contracts. It has been said by some No Limit artists how P fucked them over when it came to their publishing and royalties. If you're an artist who never popped, yes, you should be grateful for that house and car in your name, but for those artist that did pop, P should of paid them accordingly, which he didn't. He was even ganking his own son Romeo. That should tell you something.
Sometimes you know people better than they know themselves, if he’s salty all these years for the house, car and the money, imagine how salty he would’ve been if he got straight up money and wasted it on the stuff p bought him
My,my,my.....Bless brother Percy for supporting his community. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would like to hear more about Kevin Miller and I can't wait to see the full interview. E's "I'm bout it, bout it" got me cracking up tho 😄
For them to not be proficient lyricists, they did their job well. Prime suspects was one of my favorite groups from no limit. Glad to finally hear from one of them.
Prime suspects also was the last hardest shit from p before they started going down
Our people never teach our children about economics, stocks, bonds, good credit, savings, business etc. That’s why we blow all our money on cars, partying and women! Then we blame everyone else, and God because we didn’t capitalize on all the opportunities given to us
He ain't lying them boys pulled up fresh in them camaros. Astro world was the shit broads everywhere and Water World 💦 was next door. Those were the days I swear
Cat got those Buc-ees shirt on 😂. When I lived in Texas I loved that place. On place on the road between Houston and Dallas or Texas to Arkansas I went to bathroom at.
P looked out and people wasn't realizing that he was looking out. He said why you quit a job and don't have another job? And that's real. He was locked up and saw them makin $$$. Admitting to never writing before and never been interested in writing, P put him on.
He kept it solid and keep saying it was his fault and he blew alot money and shit and couldn't just handle the business part of it
100 percent facts!!!! My dawg got a navigator and a house....BTW them 2500 back to back to back....was all the royalties you wuz getting cuh ✊🏿
Sheeeeeeiiitt🤣🤣🤣😁 I love my people from Louisiana. New Orleans gangsta, but the whole boot be doing they Thang too. Much love everybody ✌🏼 🇺🇲 🇲🇽
Factz fam ya heard me
P looked out for his people.
That album was one of the most slept on albums still jam to this day!
Lol
@@StandingonGodorNothing lol what you clown
Ok It was slept on, my favorite track was "of all da hustles".
"Young Niggas" is about as accurate as it gets.
Change the battery in the smoke detector!!!!!
Nice video interview.Interesting
..man I remember I used to listen to all them No Limit cds and wear the clothing back then.Koo memories mane.
Greetings from Mexico
Hard to tell young mf'ers from the ghetto to spend their money wisely and save up and flip something. But hell, he got a nice house free, never have to pay rent or mortgage again. That's a dream come true there. It takes most people the better part of their lives to pay off a house before they can enjoy life without that house note coming around every month. Not too bad a deal. Plus life memories.
Facts they can say what they want but in the reality of life that’s not to bad of a deal what they got because they probably would’ve never obtained or accomplished that on their own in a whole lifetime facing the odds they faced from the ghetto!
as long as you have the right mentality..my ex wife got a free & clear home from me worth a quarter ticket..within a year she was doing a refi and put a mortgage on herself..because she had blown thru her liqud cash on frivoulous trips , shopping isht...& she was 40 ! old enough to know better you would think..& esp when you have someone like me in your ear saying you dont need to blow money like that & to invest instead .....some people you just cant help..guess who she is calling for help now? the same cat whose help she didnt appreciate in the beginning...the same cat who gave her the home..me lol..she is from the hood & Im from the burbs & tried to show her better that what she came up knowing but....just like this cat is expecting P to come thru
I Neva heard a soul say P played em out some money, he the real deal blue print
If Prime Suspects music is on any digital platform he is still supposed to be getting paid.
I never thought of that....I wonder if it Is on any platforms? 🤔🤔
@@pambeforethestorm9784 i just looked em. They're on Apple music
Correction, whoever owns the publishing is getting paid. And yes it's on Tidal
@@creamchasingdee7857 oh wow! Thanks for letting me know, I wonder if he knows 🤔??
@@pambeforethestorm9784 I see they have a prime suspects TH-cam channel
RaRe report I love your content! You do a great of covering New Orleans rap history and other Louisiana legends. Can you do another interview with this guy and ask some more questions about Kevin Miller and how he died?
P definitely kept Kevin name alive
..💯
Ok lmao 😂 😂 when he called them back and said never quit your job when you ain't got another one
It just goes to show no matter how talented u are you must learn and know the business. Also don't be afraid to ask questions if it's something u don't understand.
Yea
Derrick Anderson was Actually an All-Star. Think Injuries Fk'd Him Up but think He Signed 2 Brand Jordan. Ron Mercer was a Pretty Good player also.
Respect to him wearing the Buc-ees shirt
YEA...I NEED TO BUY ME ONE WHEN I GO BACK TO TEXAS
I hate that fake truck stop
@@bcranford714 LOL
I like this, no hating, just truth and respect.
🤣my man with the bucc'ees t shirt on tho 💯💯
For thouse who don't understand the business, No Limit was flooding the market with product, he was getting a million dollar advance from Priority records, per release, and he was trying to release as many albums per month, quality or not. So the label was financing future releases. Each album minimum advance based on 100,000 units purchased at $10 wholesale was one million dollars. So it was not Percy Miller being generous and looking out for the hood, it was Percy Miller looking for anyone he could profit off of. The majority of the talent on No Limit was trash, it was not about talent for Percy, just dollars, but eventually the public catches on, and your brand starts to fade, and eventually you are out of business. Beats By The Pound was the No Limit Sound, Master P, Mystical and a few others were the face or in some cases the talent. When he stopped paying them and other key executives behind the scene, it was a wrap.
.. it wasn't anyone he could profit off .. he's the boss .. all expenses paid out his pockets ... that's the game
@@aermax7321 People tend to not understand that. Go work for a job and should know what you accept that position, you will not be bigger than your boss or the company you work for. I think the greed settle in when they saw P on the Forbes for being worth that much. They wanted what he had and forget that he's the boss. They should have signed contracts and whatever that's when that contract that was broken, then they could sue him to get their money. But...they didn't do that!
Rocking the Buc-eess Shirt 🦫🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One thing I like bout the N.O they accent vibes the same but split into different groups he in the Mystical vibe group he reminds and sound the movement I peep that!
Prime Suspects album was one of the best album on No Limit
This guy wasn’t even thinking about rapping. Or any kind of enterprise. Master P. Did more then right by him.
..💯
So what I got from this is P really a MASTER MIND!!
Pack a lac with maks and choppers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Breh got on the Buccee's shirt tho! Respect! Best gas station chain in the USA
He kept it so real we wudda not been able to accomplish this on our on
He likely was told he owed $260,000 because, if the record label fronts you any money, whether it’s in the form of money or things (houses, cars, clothes, trips, etc), it’s an ADVANCE that you have to pay back, and it’s recouped through your royalties (mechanical and even sometimes publishing). So, that’s also why he probably didn’t receive any royalties. It recouped the payment for his house and car. Sounds like he got a standard deal that all artists get. It’s just he wasn’t aware of the business. Honestly, it was a blessing that he was getting those 2 checks per month considering he owed. That typically doesn’t happen with any artists, not even the majors, if you still haven’t recouped what you owed. Remember when Left Eye did the breakdown on TLC’s money? It’s like that. The only difference, he wasn’t performing the shows, but he did do the acting. Maybe the checks was for his acting. Either way, it doesn’t sound like he was screwed since it sounds like he had the average deal that all the artists have, but with some icing on top with those checks, considering the circumstances. P probably did the best he could under the circumstances.
Master P was fair wit his artist,idc wat nobody say🤷🏾♂️ bought dem homes 🏠 broke'em 📴 wit a allowance every 2wks for 6months.Mentored uncle snoop 🐶 now he own "Deathrow"got snoop fruity loops 🥣 🤷🏾♂️ give Uncle "P" his flowers💐real talk...✊🏾
young artists from the streets don't seem to understand that videos, studio time, CDs, etc are not free. In the music industry EVERYTHING costs sumthin. Any artists will tell you that they barely break even on releasing albums. Their money comes from tours and guest spots on other artists albums.
Sound like a sweet job
Man I listen to that song almost every time I get in my truck everybody went hard on that mystikal was a good addition to the song too
We love your content fam keep it coming!!!
those checks stopped cause priority was messing with P money...P was making so much money, the small hats that run the industry switched up the game
I can’t believe this man has on a Buc-Cees tshirt on 😂😂
The mane said P was was giving them 2500 each on the 1st and the 15th for years and they wasn'teven that damn popular....P is and will forever be King of the South
P took care of them boys as men we can't expect someone to keep on taking care of us
OG look like funny Marco
One thing master p did was , give Niggas No actual contract except (Mia Ceedy, silk ,mystikal Mac and slim ), hella money a house a car - u not knowing the music game ALL your publishing & royalty checks go to him that’s how he go so rich ! PRODUCER
Executive producer
Arranged
All by master p 🤣😂🤣
Yep all his artist not knowing the game missed that one
he own the company, how someone going to be bigger than him when he handled all the groundwork and business ?! That's like working at McDonald's and you expect to get the corporation money.
@@JoJoStar22 publishing and royalties is something every ARTIST is supposed to have . Not the same homie
@@OG_Joey_ Yeah, but they didn't have contracts. If otherwise, they would be able to sue him. We see how that turned out. Whatever he did give them they didn't use it to their advantage. it's not his fault that they weren't educated. Especially, 25 years later. They should be set up in life. That's all I'm saying. Business is business and when u dealing with street or ghetto people they not gonna see it that way.
@@JoJoStar22 unfortunately u right ,, but that’s why no limit crumbled
The lesson of being a rapper!
No mortgage for the rest of their life, salary, and a car is what P gave them along with an album on the greatest record label ever.
Never knew why Steady Mobb'n left No Limit until now but this makes sense since only Crooked I was featured on the Foolish Soundtrack and not Billy Bavgate as both the Steady Mobb'n due... lowkey this might be one of the best NL interviews Uzi dropped gems in this one. I'm still curious why the Prime Suspects stopped rapping after the No Limit Soldiers Compiliation since we didn't get 1 song or feature from them in all of 1999.
"Quater Key" Was One Of The Hardest Tracks From Prime Suspects.
My old lady🎶🎶
Awesome interview. 👌
I don't think P robbed anybody on no limit for there money but I think he definitely had alot more to give them if you asked me. P knew everybody wasnt going to go platinum so he didnt promote (which means spend money) on everybody album. He was using everybody else album to promote them by putting there release date an album cover on everybody album not to mention they already featured on it. You basically gotta promote yourself by going hard on everybody else album an gain a fan base think about it that's how we learn to like prime suspects an other artist on no limit cause we heard them on everybody else album first before they dropped there own. No limit was running shit so hard that even second tier artist was selling records. But see P was making TO MUCH DAM MONEY cause u gotta remember P had that 85 15 deal. So what he did was put a bunch of albums out in one year. Think about it, p album, c album, silkk album alone gonna sell 3 - 5 million a piece. Then you add everybody else album in one year no limit probably sold over 10 million records. 85 percent of 10 million in one year do the math. An this is just an example cause it could be more. P would by them cars houses jewelry pay up all the Bill's an give them a check. But they pay all that back once them records come out so they really not getting nothing back but like he said 2,500 a month an a check for like 5k 10k
You must think the prints and having them album covers even made up was free. That Maine promoted shit that would ultimately not even come out
P overall was fair overall these guys got opportunities, houses in nicer neighborhoods, more money then what they would ever see in lifetime. P had about 100 artist its like an NBA team only 50% of the roster is good...look man P put on some of these guys who didn't want to be rappers ...I think maybe 4 mystikal a hand ful others was or wanted to rap ....not trying to be funny but these aint highly vetted P has been known to pay artist 50/50 deals but once he sign with majors they wasnt having that so it put a strain on P and the artist's relations
@@playboy901 i feel you but that's light money. An u right alot of albums didnt come out either. I love no limit I'm a big no limit fan. I bought everybody album. But I was young when they was hot I didn't know nothing about business period. But now that I'm older i understand. An it's ok nothing wrong with that. Samething with the artist. You always hear them say they was young they didnt know the business they was just happy to get the money they was getting cars an all that. Now you see them when they get older they realize everything now an realize they could of got more money. Some was their own fault to though
25K for six months that’s $300,000 and not taking up for P because I’m on the outside looking in but most artist in the 90’s wasn’t touching $300,000 K with houses paid for Cars paid for etc etc
@@stacknsat damn well said I’ve heard that second deal with Universal changed everything and the way he had to do business and work with his artist. And that’s where the issues started. I also believe that it could have been a few things industry wise that P didn’t have complete knowledge of either.
That Prime Suspects is slept on.. Gangsta lyrics and gutta beats!!
Prime Suspects was the hardest group outa No Limit
💯Gambino Family was 🔥 too
The Twins was the hardest. Matter of fact, both sets of twins. Them Ghetto Twins was super hard

This why I put No Limit over Cash Money! They had a lot more people and more of them was certified in the streets and made music you can vibe too at the same time, for them not to be rappers...
😆
Most of No Limit shit was trash af tho
@@kid5042 hell no wtf you talking about C-murder, Mac and Soulja Slim shot alone beat anything Cash Money ever put out not to mention MiaX,Tru,Marcelo,Mystakal and others not to mention Master P even dropped good shit Like Ghetto D,Ice Cream man and Last Don...
@@bodymore23 Everybody you numbed besides Mac and Slim is fucking trash. Mystikal was okay but made better music off of no limit Master P was trash asf and C might be the worst rapper along with Silk. 400 Degrees And All On U vol 1-2 and that Chopper city shits all over No Limit
@@kid5042 if you never listen to C just say that his Life or Death and Trapped in Crime is better then anything on cash money you geeking...
