1995-96 No Limit Albums Ranked Worst to Best

[@CulturalistTheory]

200 comments and 200 likes! A promise is a promise. Let me go grab that Silkk vinyl!

[@emilyoftheemeraldcity]

Silk the Shocker debut album is still one of my all time favorite CDs! There are a lot of songs on there that I still bump and know every word to. If I saw that record - I WOULD GET IT!!! Even tho I don't have a record player lol

[@smarkslowplay3512]

I Represent, My Car and I Ain't Takin No Shorts are among NL best

[@TheRollieRollShow800]

99 wayz to die was infamous. TruTrue album was my all time favorite album on cassette tape

[@demetriusrousseau7919]

Master P "Ice Cream Man" album deserve to be in the hall of Fame. RIP Pimp C, Big Ed,Tre 8 and Skull Dugery.

[@MychaEl7]

The Shocker is a certified classic, i kept that album heavy in my rotation back in the day.

[@blakebrown84]

Master P’s Ice Cream Man is the most underrated albums of the mid-90s!!

[@cloficc7234]

No, definitely not

[@blakebrown84]

I couldn’t name all of the No Limit albums because mostly of the production was done by Beatz By The Pound. What is the most underrated album from the mid-90s era of No Limit Records.

[@bluu_ice6554]

​@cloficc7234 I listened to it recently, hasn't aged well. Trash

[@blakebrown84]

None of Master P’s solo music was ever good enough to listen or play over and over. He is still trash at best or straight mediocre

[@jae3003]

Y'all tripping

[@SopeySope]

If you do anything in life… GO COP THAT SILKK THE SHOCKER VINYL! THESE VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!

[@hajjohnson2460]

The Silk Album song “My Car” still slappn 2023

[@JStoTheArtist]

Yes!! Finally! You did the 95-96 list! I will now begin my petition for the final list of albums ranked 1991 through 1994.

[@bigzizzo]

The Shocker was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 great video, C Jay!!!

[@CulturalistTheory]

🙏🏾

[@rezsurfer2808]

Honestly i like that TRU true album... i was riding to that one not the best of course but was good

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

I find myself returning to that album at least a few times every year or two. Before Beats By Da Pound and No Limit having a southern sound, people forget they were doing Bay Area mob music in that era. Love the production on TRU's "TRUE" album.

[@VinceMediaTV]

It was a movie named “the shocker” back in the day where they took the theme from for his album.

[@CulturalistTheory]

No Limit Soldiers stand up! Talk to ya boy - C Jay

[@retroesso]

Thank you for publicly giving Silkk his propers!!! He gets dragged but his first three album were dope!

[@rezsurfer2808]

Do a N Limit albums that never droppped like that DSH album and Tank Doggs and DJ KLC the 2 i know about off the top of my head but there was a lot im sure of

[@Hampfam]

I was a big no limit fan. Repping Thibodaux Louisiana

[@mb8464]

TRUE on number 8 spot?

[@mb8464]

1. Ice cream man 2. True 3. 7 sins 4. The shocker 5. Down south hustlers 6. 99 ways to die

[@BigUnk85]

I gotta say I still bump that TRU album to this day. I like Ps story telling on there. Pimp C show his azz on that Break em off some beat.

[@shlidgn90]

Wasn’t DJ Screw’s “My Mind Went Blank “ on Down South Hustlers?

[@jae3003]

Yep last song Disc 2

[@JakePalumbo]

Shiiit no judgement bro I spent $150 on a sealed vinyl of Charge It 2 Da Game, if you can find The Shocker on wax I'd probably grab it cuz it's pretty rare compared to most other No Limit vinyl. The production on "The Shocker" is excellent, some of the beats are almost East Coast at points, but it's all hard drums & dark synths, spooky gangsta shit. It doesn't have the hits & the appeal the other albums do, but from a pure beats & bars standpoint it might be his best album. I would have ranked "True" higher, I think it's an excellent album with only a few skips. But otherwise great job as always sir, would be dope to "Round Out The Tank" with a video on the 91-94 genesis era.

[@charlesmiller5581]

Another FIRE LIST!!

[@CulturalistTheory]

💪🏾💪🏾

[@Coldchillin661]

TRUE number 8? wow I was surprised. I love this channel, another great episode

[@i_see_the_world_in_all_blue]

Tru true is a classic and the shocker is one of my favorite no limit albums made

[@stephenlee3495]

That Down South Hustlers 2 leak is a mishmash of songs released several years apart. “I Got Yo Back” for example, was released by Big Ed on his post-NL project, Special Forces.

[@CulturalistTheory]

Ahhh ok. Good callout #RIPBIGED btw🙏🏾

[@stephenlee3495]

@@CulturalistTheory off top! Keep up the good work.

[@MasterBeatz101]

I love that first Silkk the Shocker album. I was blown away by it after listening to Charge It 2 Da Game for so long. It’s easily his best work to me personally. The production alone blows his other albums out of the water. I love that TRU album too. The West Coast production works well to me considering where they were at during this time. Cop that Vinyl dude! It’s rare. I would get myself if Vinyl was my thing. I’d be happy just to have the CD. No Limit’s catalog is becoming more and more rare every day.

[@CulturalistTheory]

Had all the cd’s back in the day! Lost em thorough a couple of moves 😔

[@j2323j]

I have all the LPs singles and CDs 💿

[@philip1123]

Great list and ranking! I love it when you guys pay homage to the down south classics.... I think that it would be great if you made a B.G. albums ranking (you did Juve and Wayne, so b.g. should be next!), he has quite a lof of classic albums!

[@CulturalistTheory]

It’s only right we get BG! We haven’t don’t Juvie solos yet but we’re working on it!

[@andrewricks8543]

Do Dj Screws top 10 mixtapes

[@dbryant2770]

I think he was releasing double albums because they count as a double sale making it easier to rack up certifications

thank you for doing this list, the early to mid 90s era of no limit is one of my favs from them, i love the bay area sound from no limit

Mannnnn that down south hustlers 2 album is a bangerrrr!!! I would’ve ranked True in top 5 but this a solid list!🙌🏾

[@chadmorris5154]

Ready for this, the first album I heard from no limit was the first tru on priority. The down south hustlers compilation was dope.

[@ampereira8]

I am liking and commenting so that you go buy that vinyl.

[@CulturalistTheory]

lol respect

[@kevinrobinson4848]

Good rankings. Very accurate. That The Shocker album is so dope and severely slept on. I know Silkk is known for how wack he is but that album goes off. I still have the original cd's for that Down South Hustlers comp album. I think it's worth some money.

[@smarkslowplay3512]

Got all NL albums from 95 to 2000. Worth some serious $$$

[@WurstiThePimp]

Great Video as Always. But CD 2 of Down South Hustlers got some Heat. I didnt get your dislike for it. Besides Bounce that Azz My Woman from Coop MC, another Classic Joint. With this Track i discoverd him. Handle your Business by Serv-On, Banger Gs Stay Real, Hot Track My mind went blank, Hits hard.

[@donb.loneleo770]

Ice Cream Man is such a vibe, top 2 from P and maybe no. 1 in my list. Even the b-sides from the Mr. Ice Cream Man single are good imo. Since y'all ranked Down South Hustlers so high, I might give it a chance soon also thank you for letting us know about that Down South Hustlers 2 leak. Looking forward to the unreleased albums from the Tank list 🙏 As for the Silkk vinyl, go cop it!

[@CulturalistTheory]

Preciate you tappin in! More tank lists coming and that Silkk vinyl is calling my name lol

99 ways to die was hard as hell

[@InfectedChris]

Sorry I missed the premier but I was at the hospital getting labs drawn! I'm late but finally have the time to sit down and watch. Excited to see your future videos! Maybe a top 10 No Limit beats? That's essentially a top 10 Beats by the Pound beats.

[@CulturalistTheory]

No worries, more premieres in the future! Good suggestion though! Added to the list

[@fresh216]

As a BIG NL fab I 100% disagree with what you said about TRU. This album ia top 5 NL album easy. The bay sound fit perfectly with nolimit and gave it a twist. The concepts of the album was incredible, take a bullet for yo homie to Last Dance to F%uck you H%es. Amazing body of work.

[@rezsurfer2808]

Tank Doggs would been a good album maybe and that DJ KLC mixtape one. U should do albums that was supposed to drop. Like these 2

[@LuckyTaaru]

Most no limit albums aren’t distributed by UMG/BMI/Priority so some third party has to distribute them most likely and they always have the risk of being taken off, so that kinda sucks

[@LuckyTaaru]

This happened with Goodfellas, 7 Sins, most likely the Tre-8 album, Am I My Brothers Keeper, The Assassin (although an official anniversary edition was released by someone on No Limit), Memorial Day, Guilty till Proven Innocent, Gameface, Ghetto Postage, and so much more
