Master P built No Limit into a successful business from scratch, and at one point in the late 90's and early 2000s it seemed there was no bigger label, which P recently spoke about with Hip Hop DX. The Lousiana native explained that a lot of people were impressed when they saw how he built up the label, and Master P said he began getting calls from the likes of T.I., Eminem, and even Nas.
"You know I lived in The Bay. At first I'm out there hustling doing my thing. Everybody know who I am. E-A-Ski was signed to me. I had a lot of underground people. People seen what I did business wise so a lot of guys called me. Anybody you can think of called me for advice or thinking "What can I do to get with No Limit." From Eminem, to T.I. to anybody you could think of, we done had that conversation where they wanted to be with No Limit."
During the sit-down, Master P also shared his thoughts on Curren$y, which brought up Meek MIll. He explained, "Curren$y, for me, he was always a young kid with a lot of talent, but he was always in a rush. That's why it didn't work with me. When I managed Meek Mill, Meek always wanted to go get a deal. I'm telling Meek Mill, "You're a star. You just need to wait." I feel like at that time Curren$y was in a rush."
He added, "Whoever was gonna get him a deal that would get him some spotlight, he was going. He was probably the most talented young person that I knew at that time. If he was a little more patient, I think he could've done bigger things earlier in his career. Not now. When he was first getting on. But he's like an OG but he out here with the youngsters. He really an OG because he was back then with us."
