    Master P’s Ice Cream Man is the most underrated albums of the mid-90s!!

      I couldn’t name all of the No Limit albums because mostly of the production was done by Beatz By The Pound. What is the most underrated album from the mid-90s era of No Limit Records.

      I find myself returning to that album at least a few times every year or two. Before Beats By Da Pound and No Limit having a southern sound, people forget they were doing Bay Area mob music in that era. Love the production on TRU's "TRUE" album.

  • @JakePalumbo
    @JakePalumbo ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Shiiit no judgement bro I spent $150 on a sealed vinyl of Charge It 2 Da Game, if you can find The Shocker on wax I'd probably grab it cuz it's pretty rare compared to most other No Limit vinyl.
    The production on "The Shocker" is excellent, some of the beats are almost East Coast at points, but it's all hard drums & dark synths, spooky gangsta shit. It doesn't have the hits & the appeal the other albums do, but from a pure beats & bars standpoint it might be his best album.
    I would have ranked "True" higher, I think it's an excellent album with only a few skips. But otherwise great job as always sir, would be dope to "Round Out The Tank" with a video on the 91-94 genesis era.

    I love that first Silkk the Shocker album. I was blown away by it after listening to Charge It 2 Da Game for so long. It’s easily his best work to me personally. The production alone blows his other albums out of the water.
    I love that TRU album too. The West Coast production works well to me considering where they were at during this time.
    Cop that Vinyl dude! It’s rare. I would get myself if Vinyl was my thing. I’d be happy just to have the CD. No Limit’s catalog is becoming more and more rare every day.
