Master P Talks No Limit Legacy, Snoop Dogg, His NBA Stint & Why Rap Label Imprints Have Faded

Master P, the founder of No Limit Records, discussed his legacy, Snoop Dogg's involvement, and his NBA stints in an interview with Billboard. He explained that his projects, No Limit and Cash Money Records, were located just a mile apart in New Orleans and emerged as two dominant hip-hop labels in the 1990s and early 2000s. Master P highlighted the importance of timing in putting together the co-headlining arena tour, stating, "We live right up from each other."

The rapper reminisced about his career, mentioning his prolific output, including starring in films, participating in NBA pre-season games, launching food products, and even infiltrating the wrestling world. Master P emphasized that the tour was more than just a performance event but also aimed to raise awareness about mental health.

He also spoke about his collaboration with Snoop Dogg, citing the biopic release of the rapper as motivation for releasing his own movie, Only God Can Judge Me, which he called the first faith-based street movie.

Regarding his NBA stints, Master P revealed that he played in pre-season games with two teams, though he didn't elaborate on the details. Regarding the lack of prominent hip-hop labels today, he noted that the business landscape has changed, and he hoped that the success of his tour would encourage others to follow in his footsteps. Master P expressed his gratitude for the 85-15 profit split deal he secured with Priority Records, which he felt revolutionized the indie rap label scene.
