And the odd thing is she wasn't a damn rapper!! She only made ONE album... I think the South never got the props it really deserves from back in that time.

    Snoop Dogg was just joining No Limit Records after leaving Death Row Records. His first album with the label wasn’t bad but was solid enough to listen. Mystikal’s Ghetto Fabolous album was good and he said that it was his weakest album because it felt rushed. I remembered No Limit Records released 23 albums in a year. It’s an accomplishment!

    Solid list. Only things I would change are Sons of Funk (I thought it was an underrated album) a little bit higher and the Da Last Don at 1 for me. Snoop Dogg's album would probably go up a few spots for me as well. While I do like that album, it was an interesting relationship fusing the West Coast voice to that No Limit sound, but they made it work. Probably some bias in there for me though. My friends and I bumped the hell out of Da Last Don that summer, so it has a very nostalgic place in my heart. Good times! Either way, fun video!

    P's skill was how he marketed his artist's albums. He also negotiated a contract where his company made almost if not all of the profits. Everybody knew when No Limit had an artist who's album was dropping, Philly had No Limit posters all over. Mater P is an underrated, probably the most underrated Executive Producers ever. Probably because he was largely independent and he took care of his artists, and didn't rob his artists. Souljah Slim was low on the list, it was a good jawn. I remember copping I'm Bout It, the movie which was the best low budget movie ever.

    Thanks for this. I have been waiting for someone to do a ranking like this. Overall this is a great list. My only major complaint is Silkk charge 2 da game album being that high. I think his shocker album was his best one and the Charge it 2 da game album took a step back. Maybe because Silkk switched his flow on this compared to his flow on Da shocker and the Tru 2 Da game album but that is why I wouldn't rank it that high
    My top 5 is
    1) C-murder - Life after Death
    2) Fiend - There's one in every family
    3) Mac - Shell Shocked
    4) Young Bleed - My balls and my word
    5) MP Da Last Don
    Also, I would had ranked Ghetto Commission higher but I understand why you ranked Prime suspect higher. Here I go again with Serv-on is probably my top 5 No Limit songs of all time. Can't wait to look at your 1999 video to see where Mac - World War 3 is ranked. I have that album in my Top 5 rap albums of all time.
