He wasn’t blocked. They sold over 20 million records. His downfall was when he let “Beats By The Pound” go and lost the original sound. Artists with messages are blocked though…that’s why Lil SHOOT’EM Up is pushed more than a Krit or Dead Prez
FACTZ
Talk yo shit bro 🫡
True but the label was trying to change how him and Beats by The Pound were doing business and beats by the pound wasn’t feeling and it caused a wedge between them. That’s why
Facts bro
You correct but all of that were the branches. The root cause was him attempting to have an NBA career and lost focus of what was actually happening with his music business!
GIP basically mentioned that master p should be celebrated more in the rap game as much as puffy,jayz, the main ones who reign surpreme over the industry
@andredavis1159the only way U would know these dudes gay is if they screwed u😂😂😂😂sounds like your hate is your deepest desires
@andredavis1159 ALREADY FAM BUT AS THE BLK COMMUNITY WE GOTTA SUPPORT OUR BASED RAPPERS
Jay Z always gave P his props. P always gave Jay-Z his props. I respect them both but P was the blueprint to me. Master P said once you make a certain amount the system start watching you
Nah, p wasn't a shewd business man.he always spending too much for publicity. Living in fantasy like how Romeo's said
@@delanoblanco2248 so that mansion in Beverly Hills and $200 million net worth is a "fantasy" lol, are you serious? Romeo was just mad at his dad for believing he was entitled as a child to money, you seriously can't believe P isn't one of the richest people in Amerikkka and definitely one of the richest Black men in the world based upon what a child who is mad says.
P put it in alot of work and it's crazy what he managed to accomplish independently, he is a true mastermind and deserves all the respect👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The first street dude to go in the NBA, first rapper in black history. 💯
Interscope
That’s what the people a failing to listen to. P is blocked because our own people are block by stupidly and don’t see the independent push.
GIP is sooooo right!!! Folks don't understand "the industry" didn't like what P was doing because he wasn't "attached" with anyone. He did it independently by himself. He was from the south, and they didn't like that. Folks fail to forget No Limit was making so much money at one point that they were making more money than their distributor at the time, Priority. Priority couldn't even pay them properly because they were making too much money. NO label has ever repeated such an act since!!!!!Cash Money did their thing, BUT they had a BIG machine behind them Universal. No limit didn't have that, so that's why I never put N.L. & CMR on the same level. N.L. was TRULY independent! Gipp right they always kept P success at a minimum cause he wasn't walking to their beat 💯💯💯
Priority was backed by a major label
@ImDatReal30 Priority was a major label but not like Universal! That why BBTP broke up because when Priority was bought out, the new company want No Limit to put contracts on each artist. It was a 3 way phone call between P, the label, and BBTP. BBTP said they didn't want no contracts and to keep it as it is and P said fuckem that's on them!! BBTP got mad that P said fuckem but he wasn't saying as if he didn't want them. He was saying like "fuckem it's on them" Priority couldn't even paid No Limit correctly cause No Limit was making too much money. Priority was a major, but not like Interscope, Universal, Def Jam, etc
@@samuraicollins2218so what label did u run or work for since u know so much. Who have u worked wit? Did P tell u first hand this information 🤔inquiring minds want to know
@sleepydean781 I've worked with no label BUT I have watched many interviews with my own two eyes here on the Tube were Mr.Serv-On explained how BBTP left No Limit. I also seen interview where they were talking about how No Limit was making so much money that they were making more money than the distribution company. Wendy Day even said out her own mouth that Cash Money got they deal BECAUSE of No Limit. She was the one who got Cash Money their deal with Universal. She told Universal that Cash Money was "The New No Limit "
Master p got wack your whole logic is flawed cash money is still going that proves you and gipp are dead wrong
E-40 with 30 albums and all independent accept 1 gets no recognition at all. Show me a rapper that has those numbers. They recognize who's apart of they're so called elite club. Master P and others like him that don't bend over want ever get put at the top for honest hard work. It's all BS and we're the suckers who fall for it over and over. Beyonce album didn't sell a box of honey nut Cheerios and still got album of the year and make us believe she's the hottest thing out with the awards and titles and we as people start praising once again 🤔🤔🤔
& much as I love what Master P did, I have to say that E40, Too Short & Hammer & other cats in the Bay were doing the indie rap game big before him
We are the suckers. We go along with the programming and seek the validation from those outside the culture.
@@BadTV1993 most likely thats where P learned it all from frfr
💯💥
E-40 sucks
Do you realize that without Master P, Snoop Dogg might’ve not had anywhere to go after Death Row fell apart?
And noone to mentor him on the business side of the music. They couldve did em like Suge and signed him to another 💩 deal.
@LilBubScrewstonTex Facts! Because he even said that he went over to No Limit BROKE!! P bought him a house & car, put money in his bank account.. and gave him the titles to his house & car. Look at him now.. $100+ Million! 💯 good observation bro! 💯👌🏾
Who cares about Snoop phony azz?!!?
#facts
Ever heard of Dr Dre?
Also, go look at what they made CeeLo do. Goodie Mob was one of the most conscious groups in hip-hop. Every album they had was classic
P had albums droppjng every weekk😂😂😂
Facts
Facts. No Limit the blueprint
A conglomerate is an understatement 😳
That 97/98 ERA.
And 99% of those albums get no play it was recipe for disaster
One of P downfall was letting Beats By The Pound go, focusing on his NBA career and being a sports agent at the same time. It’s no way you can be focus on music. Once he failed in those categories he tried to make a comeback in music, but Cash Money had already took over by then
How is chasing up dreams a downfall🤔🤔just asking for a friend 😎
@@lil8494 His downfall as far as music. He wouldn’t be selling his catalog today. And how did that NBA and Sports agent treat em?? He wasn’t good enough to play in the NBA and being a agent he didn’t a have a clue.
Bruh I'll bet all I got, and I ain't got shit😁😁, your favorite rapper hasn't accomplished what P has, so why try diminish what he accomplished. Every artists has a 3-4 year shelf life, really not bout a downfall, just is what it is.
@@lil8494 bro you ain’t betting me nothing. I never said that P wasn’t that guy, besides I have damn every No Limit album. One of my favorite labels coming up!! Save yourself from getting embarrassed champ
You took the the indepth words str8 outta my mouth.
The South had a reputation of being slow ,country,ignorant and uneducated in part due to slavery.But when you research and find that Brooklyn ,NY had the biggest slave plantation and they sold slaves on Wall Street .The reason I respect Master P is because he had to Master Percy to have the vision for No Limit first.He bucked and redefined the image of the old south as a black rapper and brought economics to the game or should I say black excellence .He made No Limit a brand that's corporate money all he needed was distribution that's what Gipp is speaking on big ups to P and Gipp stay strong my people ❤
Plus most nola rappers dont really have that typical southern drawl. Easier to respect the lyricism.
Big GIPP the real deal... Master P!!! 👑💪🏾💯🚀🥶
Big Bro Gipp always bringing the facts!!!!!
please smh lol
Everything he is saying is common knowledge 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🫤
Great interview. Big Gipp keep educating the masses
Crazy how being a NY dude …Gip was my favorite GM member …mostly because of swag but he was good with the words to…whole 25yra later he making noise in the podcast word…Salute
P was one of the most successful In history. Nothing can ever change the millions he sold. Don’t matter if he’s currently not making the same money because he already accomplished more than all these haters ever will. He already won.
SHOUT OUT 2 GIPP.. MUCH RESPECT..
Him, Ti and Jermaine Dupri have an obsession with NYC. I don’t know what the New York dudes did to them but they gotta let that hurt go. 😂 South been running rap for like 20 years now😂
😂 that trash strip club music look at the direction its taken
JD always showed NY love n T.I I kinda understand his pops is from NY n he used to spend summers here n got bullied cuz of his accent so I understand Tip a little lol but gipp sounds like a bitter ass hater
P messed up No Limit on his own. Firing Beats by the Pound was a huge part of his downfall. P had $360 million and went bankrupt. He ran everyone off.
That's true.. the same with Death Row and Motown.. Once they got rid of the original sounds it was over..
@@therealityofitall4819 p did a whole no limit doc and non of the producers were on it. That tells u everything u need to know. KLC has always talked shit about him
@@stu1844 Really?? Oh damn.. Some independent person needs to do an accurate bio on No Limit cause Master P is slowly becoming the villain here.. I knew he loves the shine of me, me, me and I, I, I but damn none for the people who gave your record label their signature sound?? Least give them some acknowledgement for God sakes..
N.O. Nominate Bigg Gipp Ambassador of the South !!!!
Great interview! Master P was that dude. Shout out to Gipp! When are you guys going to start interviewing the Rakim's, Kool G Rap, Kool Moe D's? All the podcasts I see are 90's, great, but reach out to Curtis blow and others pioneers too. Some of us from those day's would like to hear them too.
This bull is so jealous hearted
King Gip talkin' heavy. Salute! Some ppl in NyC been rockin' with the Dirty South since the beginning...
Master P the 🐐
..👤🏴
My check didnt clear blame jayz
My album trash i took Tupac style
Blame Jayz
NO DOUBT!!!!
THIS DUDE IS THE WORST,,,BLAME JAY Z BECAUSE HE IS TRASH!!!!
ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE,,,,TELL THE PEOPLE WHY BIG GIPP WAS TRASH!!!!!💯💯💯
Wait, what?!
Iykyk. 😂. Hell a talented business wise just as an artist should have played the back ground
Jay-Z & Diddy never was in Master P way simply becasue the south has its own shit going on. Master P label couldnt keep up with the times, Cash Money stole Master P's blueprint, ran with it and did it better. when Juve, B.G. & Turk left and when Lil Wayne wasn't as hot in 2000 to 2003, Birdman solo shit and Big Tymers shit was keepin their momentum as a label goin while No Limit failed at its Re-Invention, Birdman successfully kept re-inventing his self and label. Master P just fell off bruh. Birdman NEVER complain about Jay-Z or Puffy having success and he been winning and still is and he KNOW he got the best Record Label ever. it's only the rappers like Gipp who complain but not in any of the people lanes that he is hating on, he's not in the "Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Nas, Andre 3000, 2Pac, Biggie, Scarface, Eminem" convo, he aint sold records like them, and Gipp dont got no thriving businesses like Master P, Birdman, Jay-Z, Diddy so what is he really talking about, he is just hating. Master P dont even complain about this music shit or worry about other niggaz success or be like "why him?" when others is winning, he just keep on hustlin to something hit
Can you explain what blueprint cash money took from No Ljmit?
@@TheEvanduncan23 whatever Master P did, Birdman did it better and bigger
@@iUploadTracks I agree on that part but I’m trying to figure out what blueprint he took
@@TheEvanduncan23 Birdman speaking highly of Master P saying "I'm Still Tryna Do What He Done Did" and "I Studied All Of Them(meaning Master P, Russell Simons etc"...to me comes off that th-cam.com/video/NfFwvofqySo/w-d-xo.html
Jay-Z is the Goat musically and financially in Hip hop point blank end of motherfucking discussion
Gipp is giving HIS perspective but the reality is, P lost A LOT of money due to lawsuits and bad business P lost millions just in music alone because most of his samples were never cleared and that was majority of the music. C-murder gettin in trouble, costed millions, He left to play basketball and did all kind of other shit that neglected music. A lot of this was on P not any higher ups it may have played a small part but I don’t think it was like Gipp is painting it
Puff been in more lawsuits and drama than anyone but he still a billionaire…he’s popular cause he’s from
NY let’s just call it what it is…
@@labarrinruffin4403
That plays a part.
@@labarrinruffin4403what the Puff does being from NY have to do with hood business P hit a lick in music in the 90’s but everything else outside of that he struggled the sneakers clothes films failed
@@labarrinruffin4403That's a fact..
At this point I have realized that once a brother gets behind that mic and in front of the camera and feels that internet fame it ruins them....
We’ll yes, I totally agree. To add to that, you’re already damaged if you’re feeling that in the first place…
Facts fam
Being from the South back in 1996 Master P blew the music scene up. Him & Michael Jordan was the highest paid in 1998. I thought Master P would be the biggest in the rap game today. He had Music Movies, Toys & Merchandise back then 💯
Master P started No Limit Records in 1991 in Richmond, California, he relocated No Limit Records to the South Later
All them artist was trash on no limit💯🤙🏿
@@Dipset415😂😂😂
Mystical was trash?
@@Dipset415FACTS
Everybody knows P got blackball, in the music industry
Midwesterner here from St. Louis who was a teen in the late 90’s……✋🏿✋🏿✋🏿…..West Coast and southern hip hop was dominant in the Midwest back in the 90’s (I listened to ALL COASTS)…..The East Coast artists and executives definitely were arrogant back then. A lot of them felt like Hip Hop started and ran through the East Coast, therefore, if they didn’t get the shine or artist recognition first, all the other regions meant nothing in comparison to them. That being said, Master P was still able to make hundreds of millions independently, and was able to collaborate with who he wanted. I’m pretty sure discrimination within the industry by other execs., labels etc; played a part in him not receiving more deals after his original ones expired with his distributors, and was continually blackballed….He was never able to reinvent himself because of it, and got caught up with tax issues, lost artists to crime and scandal, and the label fell apart. He had a nice run, but couldn’t reorganize his business. Ultimately, he wanted to remain primarily independent, and help keep money and control primarily in black hands, just like Dame Dash, but we see who kept money and control primarily out of black hands, and prospered, artists and execs. like Jay-Z, Russell Simmons, and Birdman….👌🏾
The East Coast? Ain't florida, Georgia, NC, SC, VA , Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, among other states on the East Coast. Yall stop being dumb. I'm from the south, and its UP NORTH or Down South. How TF is New York only the East Coast. Just fkn dumb
Gip is my dude. I love his interviews
Hov musta had Joi throwing up the Roc 🙌🏽 i dont even think Jay or Puff know who this dude is
😂😂 fr fr, he stay hating on puff and jayz. Joi had to been in a threesome with puff and jay
I think once the artist on No Limit started making money it was hard for P to keep everyone in order. That’s what happen with most groups. Easy to manage people trying to get money, but hard to manage people once they get it.
Naw all them artist was legit trash💯😭
@@Dipset415 Correct! P actually pulled off with the biggest smoke and mirror show in the industry
@@sidney3016Facts cause outside of the Miller family members I don’t recall ever seeing any of those No Limit artist videos on BET or MTV
The south has been saving hiphop for almost 20 years
Everything he is speaking on is facts.
LLD 🐬🐬 #PRE
Shout Out To Gip He always shouting New Orleans Out Even Mention Soulja Slim Gip always held the whole south down
Basketball became more important than running a record label. P said unfortunately no one in his camp never took the mantle from him.
S/O Atlanta New Orleans Tha whole Dirty South 💯
P had the potential to be just as big but let’s be honest P merchandise was ass
Facts..... P had hella albums but only a few songs get played anymore....... I respect his hustle, but the product has to be A1 to continue to sell.
I agree it hurt him and Beats by the Pound. Dj KLC had the 🔥🔥 and still got it.
P wasn't blocked, he didn't want to put out the same music anymore. Corey and Mac went to jail, he lost his masters to the IRS. He had movies, soundtracks and was on Forbes, He was even on WWF, how was he being blocked? Sometimes we just be reaching
WCW
@@independentauthorityent.4012correct
how u gonna tell a guy in da industry what happened
Master P lost his masters to government? Never heard that before!
@@yahtut9tv because rappers lie dummy
P Changed Da Game.. The Man Still Making Money..❤
P put everyone who was with him on.
No Limit ran it course n plus the artists of No Limit starting getting locked up or killed starting with Soujia Slim, Mac got locked up, C-Murder went down, Mystikal left, Mr. Magic died, Mia- X stepped back then Beats By Tha Pound left so the tank was never going to be the same after all of that
And tried to come back with 504 Boyz.
@@hitek9too255 they was never going to pop off like TRU did so even when he did that it still felt kinda corny or forced
@@shawnbulger6894 Yea I had 504 Boyz album. Had only had like three songs I used to play and 1 song I loved playing on my Xbox but other than that. It was wack!
@@hitek9too255 exactly it was a 🌯 by then n plus Cash Money had took over at that point
Gip is my favorite Guy when it comes to truth to Hip Hop in today’s world and yesterday’s world he is Sharp and i from Jersey but I lived in ATL for 14 years at one time and he has always been a Powerful Brother Yes Sir
He put all his focus on playing in the NBA, nobody could stop Master P.
I would say just about half of his focus, if not a little more. I would say about 50-60 percent of his focus. It might have been 80-100 percent, but only for a small amount of time in the beginning though.
People say p was wack. Crazy it all started with P. P blew up an brought everyone along. How u gone say a multi millionaire rapper wack. If u think he was wack his music just wasnt for u.
What hurt Master P was the quality of the music they put out. Out of all those albums, there are maybe 10 songs that get played now........ Now contrast the No Limit output against Death Row, who had far less output, but has a lot more replay value.
Now that is the truth. Them albums were mostly garbage and Beats by the Pound was some badly mixed, off key pianos and horrible sing song hooks at best.
thats true. if your catolog aint worth anything why own your masters lol
Bingo bingo 💯reminds me of QC 💯just putting out a lot of trash
Your super wrong
Please dont tell me he said it was JAYZ who blocked P 🙄
Nah it was Birdman
This nigga blames everything on Jay-Z 😂😂😂😂😂
In the south it’s always been they don’t care how close u get as long as you don’t get to big in the North it’s always been don’t matter how big u get as long as you don’t get to close!
What stopped master p music was letting beat by the pound go
Gipp always sounds like he needs to clear his throat
Alot Of Times Gipp Just Be Talkn, But I Agree Wit Em Here. A Lil Bit
Good to see the guy from PM Dawn has a podcast
What a dumb man🤣🤣🤣
That's how we feel here in Detroit
I'm from Atlanta and I don't believe none of these gip stories smh. I hate people trying to tell stories 30 years later. You lying you just talking on social media for attention and you broke and need a few dollars
Facts.....he capping
P business wise might have been blocked but I think musically and his fame reached its pinnacle
Yo, I went to see “I Got Da Hook Up 2” over at Rivertowne, Oxon Hill (PG County, Maryland). I was thinking it was only going to be a few people… man, Dat joint was sold out. P still has support out here.
But was the music quality good that what’s stands the test of time
P did what he had to do
And probably went through and still have more assets and money than most people will ever see
Never trust a person who has their finger tips touching like Mr Burns. (EXCELLENT)
Every time l see big gipp he is talking about people he need to talk about raps
Whtchu mean now...... I've been interested in tha bacc stories of tha rappers frm my day
Gipp talking that talk all TRUTH 👏🏾🖤
P is LEGENDARY
I always thought it was Pastor Troy that messed it all up with the beef and dis songs outta nowhere 💀
SOUND LIKE HE JUST DOINT LIKE JAY Z ........EVERY INTERVIEW BRAH?
Can't blame him cause jay is just not a solid dude.
JayZ just like Lebron the most overrated we don’t listen to that shit down here 😆 only women white people and 🌈s listen to that shit
@@edubb1luv100and a nigga talking about mad niggas on podcasts IS a solid dude? 😂 Jay don’t even talk about other niggas… he just keep shit moving
Yall acting like jayz posed to save the world. Wtf jayz has to do with gipp?
Why he not solid.....HE DID A LOT HE NEVER WAS HIP HOP FRIENDLY HE A STREET CAT THAT CLEANED UP NICE....U GUYS ACT LIKE WOMEN .....SHEEREEESH
What Gipp don't mention is the same ppl that kept the game in NY are the same ppl who moved the game to ATL
Love gipp protect him please
Big Gipp with big facts
Buddy wit the glasses (James-i think), said something and his voice struck me as so familiar. Is he (are you) the person who did the intro on the first OutKast album??? 🤔 #KaPtEonThis
I agree with him from 1:52 Too $hort was a victim of this.. x2 Platinum in 1988 and 1989 Belong to Too Live Crew and all we hear about NYC rappers not name LL Cool J and Slick Rick. I remember in 1996 it was Pac, Nas and Scarface repping each coast. Bone Had the Midwest on Lock.. now all we hear is Jay Z running things. Too $hort, ScarFace, Master P, Even Too Live Crew really got suppressed. I can say Nor Cal and Memphis as a whole got suppress.
Nobody did it like master p them ny niccas know wzup 85% niccas off each record sale mf we own our own sh%# down here ny niccas wanted to be on def jam and warren g saved they a55 from going under then later rockafella helped them ny mf always acting like they they only ones doing this hip hop sh#% we bled the game dry and still running this sh^% over 2 decades later and still running
DMX was getting like 2pennies off each album sale something like that man them fake jew (khazar)mf raping our culture but we let em cause mf ain’t use to having sh%# and sign their life away
So jayz stopped them is what u saying?
Luke was the only one in 2 live crew from the south if I'm not mistaken the other two are both from NY definitely one of em was but I think both were not 100% sure
The deal Master P negotiated was never done before. He owned everything. I mean everything. He paid 15% for distribution. He kept 85%, but he retained full ownership of the music (publishing and Master recordings)
❤ Bigg Gipp
The higher ups ain’t scared of lower downs. They CONTROL who comes up and who go down.
nah you don’t nothing about Master P & you don’t know what you’re talking about so I suggest you be quite like “Mike Wallace”!
They split the cheeks of men and women.
@@Saveyourbs😂😂😂
I GOT LOVE 4 ALL DA OG'Z FROM THA SOUTH WHO CAME B4 ME..
Gipp just talking.
No limit was dropping every Tuesday. I remember that shit.
Jay-Z net worth surpassed j Prince net worth back in the late 90's big gipp just be talkin out the side of his @## everybody he just name ain't got that money like that except for Jay-Z and puffy 🤷🏽♂️
Ppl don’t realize how p sold albums like it was dope first n 15th
Facts over opinions. Talk to em gipp
The industry hate the South even though they holding it down nobody from the south get that upmost respect like guys from the East and west
I wish I could have my "potential" blocked of reaching $400 million by Master P lol
No limit fell off when cashmoney was comin up an no limit took a break from dropping albums every month thats when cashmoney took over
P said it his self the artist got to comfortable on his label they got a bag and was not hungry no more
If No Limit kept their foot on the gas there would have BEEN no cash money at all. I remember not even giving cash money a chance when we first saw their albums cause we felt they were biting.
I totally ignored everything cash money related after it got handed over to overrated ass wayne
No Limit couldn’t compete with cash money musically Juvenile BG Wayne and even Turk was better then cash money whole line up But Baby and Slim was also able to revamp cash money something P never figured out
P did let beats by pound walk respectively should've told them botha c should've took care of them and sign with tru records since p wanted to play basketball and become a sports management system
Thats my opinion but i know it dont matter
I know some people don't want to hear what he said. Prove him wrong.
Gip is a Powerhouse
MASTER P LITERALLY TAUGHT THE INDUSTRY ON HOW IMPORTANT MARKETING IS AND THE INDUSTRY MADE HIM LOOK LAME AS FUCK IN DA PUBLIC EYE JUDGING BY HIS BACKGROUND SHIT CRAZY
Yell I get it when you on your own and getting money 💴 and move almost to the top they cut you down jealous minded people we have seen this many times stay strong master P!!!!
I guess when your career is over our old school rappers and rnb artists become full time snitches
Current rappers snitching while they still hot. Go figure.
Nobody blocked Master P from reaching his potential... The brotha made 300 plus million
He said whatever record was being bought, they gonna scan no limit. So were those records really sold?
Exactly he was runnin a Ponzi scheme that he couldn’t sustain😂😂😂that’s all that happened he made great money tho
This dude Gipp said " Baton Rouge New Orleans " love Gipp tho😅..He from my city
Master p limited his own career by doing shady business dealings 😏 once people caught on to Master p nobody wanted to do business with him 🤷🏽♂️
Preach 😮
Facts
Great video 👍
We always wanted to know stories. It's not new but we didn't have to be all in the business. Nuttin new under the sun, nuuutin' Blue nuttiiiin'.
P killed his label by hopping on every record. P didn’t realize how wack he was. He ruined a lot of the best songs on No Limit albums. If he would have played Al Haymon his run would never have stopped. He also made alot of bad investments of time and money on bad products and things like playing basketball.
