Lets face it both labels pretty much ran the south in the late 90's but who do you think made better music

    No limit was running hip hop during the late 90s, but in the long term Cash Money remained at the top.

    No Limit
    No Limit was better ....... my reason is this, despite how the whole roster was wack ..... everybody dropped at least one album and you don't here none of them crying over not being paid. Plus P involved his crew in everything from the clothes to the movies ........
    Cash Money has a roster full of weed carriers with no albums ......plus producers, and ex employees who are still waiting on checks .....
    Wayne, Nicki, & Drake are what's keeping them alive ...... and Drake is looking at the front door

    Depends on which criteria you use. In terms of longevity it's Cash Money all day. If it's about which label dropped better music it could go either way. If we voting on impact we gotta go with No Limit. That sh*t was a movement. Yea they fell off after Beats by the pound stopped f*cking with P and everybody jumped ship, but up till now I haven't seen any label pull off what P did. Any release was platinum off the strength of that tank and alot of the releases were kinda wack TBH. N*ggas was using their catch phrases like "Bout it" etc. This sh*t was a movement worldwide. Saw n*ggas in Paris bang they sh*t that could barely speak English.

    I chose to let the emcees on the labels be the determining factor.

    No Limit had way better spitters and I liked both labels in the 90's. Nobody on Cash Money was even close to seeing Mac. Mac in I need W's when he was lil Mac > anyone on CMB lol. Soulja Slim > anyone on CMB in the 90's and now FOH. Even Kane & Abel and Fiend were better than most on Cash Money in the 90's. Mia X, Snoop etc.
    Cash Money was dope as well but they relied on Fresh heavily. Take away Fresh and what you had left and this is coming from a brother that had Juvie's sh*t, Guerilla Warfare etc. I could just as easily spin their instrumentals IMO.

    You can argue that the hot boyz were better than almost erebody on no limit and that was in the 90s. 3 of the biggest artist today are in cash money, even the best rapper from no limit (mystikal) went to cash money lol

    CMR had less fluff, to much filler on NL. 400 Degreez = Unpredictable, but Hotboys >Everything on No Limit.

    Mac, Soulja Slim > anyone on CMB in the 90's. I deliberately left out rappers like Snoop and Mystikal. No Limit during their reign had way better spitters. N*ggas on here either young or they're not objective.

    Mac's Shell Shocked > anything dropped by CMB in the 90's. Soulja Slim - Streets Made Me > anything dropped by CMB. If we solely talking production I could follow some of ya'll but I'm talking bout more factors.

    No Limit Records, No contest. Cash Money is nothing but a paper label on Universal Records now. Master P pimped Universal out of millions. P & No Limit Records laid the blueprint for down south music and paved the way for Cash Money. Master P the reason Cash Money got that 30 million dollar deal with Universal in 98. Universal was trying to keep up with Priority Records at that time (as far as rap music goes) so they signed Cash Money to compete with No Limit (who were breaking records on billboard) That's why they never did songs together.

    It's kinda hard to compare overall musically when no limit would dropped more albums in one year then cash money would drop in a 10 year span but I'll take the best of no limit over the best of cash money any day.....
    TRU>>>
    Ice Cream Man>>>
    Ghetto D>>>
    Unpredictable>>>
    Soulja Slim>>>
    Mac>>>
    Kane and Abel>>>

    Take the best of NL and compare it to the best of CMR. Actually a really good argument, but NL to me had a lot more clout and really put New Orleans on the map nationally.

    Ghetto Dope, TRU 2 Da Game, Ice Cream Man, Life or Death, Shell Shocked, Give It 2 Em Raw, There's One In Every Family, I could go on...

    It's hard for me to say CMR is undoubtedly better. Did NL drop a lot of bunk ? ? Absolutely, but that's because P was signing his homies fresh off the street to give them an opportunity and was more focused on the money than the quality with a lot of those projects.

    Not to mention, he had Mystikal who dropped his best album on NL (Unpredictable) and signed Snoop fresh off Tha Row.

    The first Snoop album was viewed as wack by most but the next two albums (BOTH on No Limit) was some of his best work and reunited him with Dre (NL Top Dogg and Tha Last Meal)

    From a street aspect, NL had them shook too. C-Murder had a lot of them clowns tucking in their chains in NO.
