Honorable Mention Top No Limit Artists’ Albums

Mystikal – Ghetto Fabolous. More than just an average No Limit album, similar to Unpredictable, but with outside features and the classic songs like “That’s the Ni****” and “I Smell Smoke,” this is arguably one of Mystikal’s greatest albums.

C-Murder – Trapped In Crime. Released during a time when No Limit was on a decline and not as popular as they were in 1998, but C-Murder carried the label on his back with Trapped In Crime and the album’s lead hit single“Down for my Ns”, helping to keep the company relevant.

Mac – World War III. While released during a time No Limit was losing its momentum in the rap game as far as being on top, Mac still dropped an instant classic with songs like “Genocide”, “Still Callin Me”, “Cops and Robbers”, “Can You Love Me”, “Bloody” and “Battle Cry”.

Magic – Skys The Limit. From songs like “Did What I Had 2” to “When Drama Came” proved that Magic was one of the best No Limit rappers to ever stepped foot on the tank.

Kane & Abel – Am I My Brother’s Keeper. An underrated No Limit album with classic songs like “Time After Time,” “Ghetto Day,”, “Stress” and others with this being Kane & Abel’s second and last No Limit album.

Ghetto Commission – Wise Guys. The most underrated southern rap group of all time released this classic album of street melodies and vivid and raw and uncut tracks that easily painted a picture of the street life.

Mia X – Mama Drama. Arguably the greatest southern female emcee, Mia X proved how great she was with the classic album and one of No Limit’s best selling albums of all-time.

Tru – Da Crime Family. A follow up to Tru 2 Da Game, this double disc album had a number of bangers to go along with the hit singles of “Tru Homies” and “Hoody Hoo”.

Master P – Only God Could Judge Me. While the actual songs on the album could definitely make the case for a higher ranking, but the album did not have as big of an impact as previously No Limit works, despite it one of Master P’s best albums to some.

Gambino Family – Ghetto Organized, Another underrated No Limit album with some of the Tank’s best street related tracks, like “Childhood Years,” “So Much Drama,” “Memories,” and “Ghetto Wayz”.

Skull Duggery – These Wicked Streets. Songs like “Testimony” and “I’m Not A Victim” helps bring the title of the album to light.
