What I'm listening to today: "The Party Don't Stop", Mia X
This is it: The greatest track No Limit ever created. Their in-house production shop ("Beats by the Pound") as their name implies were all about *quantity*, but when they cared they could deliver pure gold, deliciously cheesy like those cover photoshops. This track is perfect, a joyous block party. And Foxy Brown's here, because like, OK, it's 1997, something incredible is happening, of course Foxy Brown's here.
What I'm listening to today: "The Man Right Chea", Mystikal
Yes, my 90s southern hip hop mixtape is 50% No Limit by volume. Here's the thing: So was the radio in 1997. This is a loopy, hypnotic bit of experimental techno packaged as hip hop and I'm still kinda shocked radio stations played it
Beats by the Pound getting the most technique out of the cheapest synthesizers; Mystikal doing oddly experimental vocals that seem to have departed "rap" and approach skat singing
