I feel like the baby of the bunch on this one lol. No Limit was huge in Florida around the time I first got into any music at all (5th grade).

I remember listening to Master P's Ghetto D (clean version, not cause my parents were strict, but because I didn't know to look for the PA sticket yet haha) every morning before school. I was playing some Final Fantasy game for SNES, I think it was Mystic Quest. I'd turn down the volume, bump some Master P and have a good time lol.

I remember back then little divisions in taste showed among friends for the first time.

I hated sentimental, R and Bish shit back then. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate it.

Thus I hated this song, while my brothers loved it.

The No Limit Thing was wild in the south, interesting it was popping out west too. Like to put it in perspective, the town I lived in, back then was like 99% white. Really that's no exaggeration, I'm Puerto Rican and I remember in my entire elementary school experience, there was maybe 15 black kids in the whole school, maybe 20 hispanics, out of like 600+ kids.

Not only am I talking white, but I'm talking an area loaded with poor whites (of the southern variety, rednecks if we're going to forget about political correctness lol). So in this case, we're talking about the children of like alcoholic, white southern mechanics hearing "Make em say Ugh" on the radio then spending the next 2-3 years picking up every No Limit release they could get their hands on. Pre-internet.

Wild, fun era.
