5. No Limit
Master P started No Limit records with a $10,000 inheritance from his grandfather in 1990. Within seven years, Master P turned No Limit into a juggernaut with guerrilla style marketing and a sound that combined Southern bounce with West Coast gangsta rap. By 1998, No Limit released at least two new albums every month and Master P earned $56 million. However, the label was undone by over-saturation, a lack of creativity and top artists leaving the label due to money disputes. In 2003, the label filed bankruptcy. Master P re-launched No Limit Forever in 2010.
