No Limit vs. Cash Money

I gotta go with No Limit. Beats By The Pound had better beats and produced much more than Mannie. No Limit also had more rhymers and more classic albums. Cash Money has longevity and equally classic albums, but I prefer No Limit.

No Limit

No Limit fairly easily. They had a better spread of talent instead of all their talent in one cluster.

No Limit. Beats by the Pound brought the heat and Mia X, Mystikal, Mac, Fiend, etc. laced it. Their problem was their benefactor. He was a strength and weakness. He knew to strike while the iron was hot but he oversaturated the market with his product which caused diminishing return. Other flaws include feeling the need to jampack every disc with tracks and compilation appearance syndrome. However they did have stronger diversity in artists. However they let Currensy slip through their fingers. They lost BBTP and things went to shit real fast. P was smelling himself. They never recovered. On a good note they influenced a lot of rappers especially Southern that they could make money on their own. Folks who left No Limit used that knowledge to varying degrees of success.

Cash Money. 2 groups (Big Tymers & Hot Boys) split 6 ways. They didn't get guest happy but you could definitely see the No Limit influence to a degree. They snagged Mack 10 trying to do with him what No Limit did with Snoop. It didn't pan out. They focus on one solid product at a time but 400 Degreez is still their opus. Only in recent have they moved away from their signature sound with the exit of Mannie Fresh. The only other members outside the main 2 group worthy of mention is UNLV, Drake, and Minaj. Cash adapted to the times.

I like No Limit more but so far CM has stood the test of time.

Thats like measles vs the mumps

Or HIV vs. AIDS

I'm gonna say No Limit (in their prime) just on the diversity. They had a deeper roster and better overall beats. However, Cash Money gets the nod for the overall champ since they are still around and, IMO, they had higher highs...for example, 400 Degreez is better than any NL album.

And also, I think Mannie Fresh can go head up with any of those producers but the variety that the combo produced was too much to be overtaken.

Unpredictable>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>400 Degreez

400 Degreez over any No Limit album is laughable to me. There are numerous NL albums i'll take over that one. And 400 D may be CM's best album ever released.

Shell Shocked

I would take 400 Degreez over any No Limit album as well. The only one that comes close is Unpredictable. I don't like Master P or his brothers.

No Limit consisted of way more than Master P and his brothers.

Here are albums on par of better than 400 Degreez:

Mac - Shell Schocked
Fiend - There's One In Every Family
Tru - Tru 2 Da Game
Silkk - Charge It 2 Da Game
C-Murder - Life or Death
Down South Hustlers
I'm Bout It Soundtrack
Big Ed - The Assassin
Kane and Abel - Am I My Brother's Keeper
Magic - Sky's The Limit
Snoop - The Last Meal
Snoop - No Limit Topp Dogg
Soulja Slim - Give It 2 Em Raw
Young Bleed - My Balls and My Word
Master P - Ghetto D

Unpredictable was great (my favorite of his), no doubt, but it doesn't beat 400 to me. Personally, I think No Limit had terrible overall albums but dope ass standout tracks on almost every release. I know I'm in the minority but I hold several old CM releases in high regard...400, How You Luv That, Tha Block is Hot, Its All On U, Young N Thuggin, Checkmate, Solja Rags, Juve the Great, others...but only few No Limit albums...Ghetto D, Unpredictable, Charge It 2 Da Game, Life or Death...but to be fair, I didnt own as many No Limit albums either. I heard them all pretty much through my friends, tho. So 1 vote for CM and the rest of ya'll eat a dick. Ha!

Snoop - The Last Meal

Being that I'm retarded and I forgot that this was a NL release, I actually have to retract my previous statement. Tha Last Meal is the best that either side has to offer.

That's what good discussion is all about, me being right, you and KJ being wrong!

I didn't forget about the Snoop albums. But I actually like No Limit Top Dogg better than Last Meal (although both are dope) but I don't think either is as good as 400 Degreez.

Those are some gems. I'm only missing Big Ed. And one of the DSH discs. Everybody I know that has DSH only has one disc and it's always disc 2. What happened to all the disc ones?

lol... that's funny, when I get back to my stash of disc onlys I'll check because I know I have one random DSH disc - but knowing your luck it will be disc two!

LOL, that sucks. Disc 1 has some great tracks

Yeah I have both disc of Down South Hustlers. Is it worth some money?

Yeah, it sells for a decent amount now.

its worth a little bit Kev but not anything to get excited about... a good day on ebay might get $20 to 30 or so... i believe i still have my disc one, unless there's some gremlin who has stolen it.

tre 8 - ghetto stories
steady mobbin - premeditated drama
skull dugrey - hoodlum fo life

were all great albums from beginning to end

One thing about this forum that pisses me off are these repetitive threads . Weve done this. Who cares? Cash Money is better cause they're still around

Says the man who says the same shit every 2-3 months and makes new threads for shit we've already talked about.

No Limit is my answer also but I'll take 400 Degreez & Chopper City In The Ghetto over any NL album including The Last Meal.

Chopper City In The Ghetto is another dope Cash Money release.

BG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When I read the thread title, I thought you were talking about Cash Money from Philly. LOL

BG>>>>>>>>>>>> indeed. I'd feel comfortable with him against most NL mc's.

No Limit

Always bumped No Limit more...

No Limit by a land slide just because of the diverse roster, they actually had a production team (no disrespect to Mannie he is good), and was ran like a record company.

Anyone saying 400 degreez is better than any NO Limit is F***ing crazy! 400 degreez isn't even the best Cash Money album. The best Cash Money album is UNLV's - Uptown IV Life ,if you haven't heard this album go on youtube or buy it. This is the best produced and arranged album on CM, (All of UNLV albums are good) and I'll take this over every NL album except Snoops stuff, Ghetto Dope, and Charge it 2 Da Game. I'm surprised no one on here has mentioned any Cash Money albums before 98'. 400 degreez was the last truly good album from CM but it also marked a change from their past work.

Their music is different from each other though. Cash Money is a New Orleans based group their music reflects that (not now). Their early albums were Bounce music and had that New Orleans underground street sound. Mannie Fresh used to make street mixtapes (like DJ Paul) and have local block parties. No Limit was a west coast outfit until P decided he could use the New Orleans handle. NL only had a few Bounce songs. But weren't known for it. The NL sound was a West Coast/Rap-a-lot sound.

Just checked... lmao... the loose disc I have is Disc 2!

Guerilla Warfare is SOOOO much better than 400 Degreez. I think Carter II is better than 400 Degrees.

No Limit is better simply because I can understand every word every rapper they have says. Juvenile, BG and even Lil Wayne all fall victim to drugs+southern accent=indecipherable crap. Oh, and any roster with BABY rapping isn't beating anybody.

I toldja it's a muthaphukkin conspiracy. There's an asshole out there sitting on a shitload of disc ones for reasons we'll never comprehend.

Guess I'm the exception I have Disk 1 and no disc 2.

No mention of Master P- Mr Ice Cream Man, that's a certified 5 star banger! NL>CM

Ice Cream Man is dope, but I prefer the more polished No Limit sound, and I'm sure the more casual fans would agree.

Oh my bad, I'll try to be more casual fan friendly in the future.
