Unnggghhh! I couldn’t stand these covers…! Thank Pen and Pixel for the nonsense!

I think it was from 1996-1999 when I noticed a huge stock pile of No Limit albums featured at just about every Hip-Hop related outlet that sold music. No Limit Records was founded by Master P midway into the 90’s. He ushered in a new group of talent consisting of his 2 brothers Silkk and C-Murder along with Mia X, Skull Duggery, Kane & Abel, Mac, Soulja Slim, Tre 8, Mr Serv-O, and even Snoop and Mystikal (to name a few) who managed to get a recording and distribution deal from Priority Records. For over 3 years Master P flooded the market with half talented rappers backed by watered down beats and packaged over a Pen and pixel design glorifying the millions they stacked and the studded bling they rented. From 1996-1998 No Limit had record sales hit 28 million units in U.S. (75 million units worldwide) with an estimated income of $250,000,000. (back than) Now that is a lotta records to sell!
