    Would there be a CMR without No Limit? Would there have been a Death Row without Ruthless? A Rocafella or Murder Inc without Bad Boy?

    Black Moon, Heltah Skeltah, Smif N Wessun, OGC.

    BCC one of the most iconic cliques of the 1990s in these NYC streets. Of course if you're not from out here you might not really understand that.

    I just did something quick...this isnt indicative of my Mt. Rushmore, but just did it for illustrations purposes.



    No Limit was the label that broke the mold. From that point on signing to a major label was nearly a second thought. Why? Start your own. Other did it before Master P. but he was the one that made you truly believe anyone could do it. No Limit also helped usher in the big wave of southern rap.

    Man you need to head over to Goldie's site and school some of them ? .

    Deathrow was from 1991-2001 everything after that was a remix or a stamp on someone else work they had copyrighted under Deathrow...
