If you had to pick out an album that's extremely important to the career of Wayne, one might look at the successful Carter 3 that sold over 3 million copies in total and still remains his biggest album, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first two editions of the Carter series. Now, with that out of the way, let's take a look at the list. Artists like Kevin Gates, Lil Boosie, and Webbie of course won't make this list because they are Baton Rouge artists and not New Orleans artists (just to clarify for people BEFORE they ask me why they are missing). Of course, this list will be Cash Money and No Limit heavy, but I attempted to keep it as balanced as possible, with only one album per artist, and their most important project IMO (not necessarily their best, but most important for whatever reason). With that in mind, I wanted to take a look at 10 important albums from artists who come from New Orleans. A number of the best rappers from out of this impactful city came from under these two umbrellas at some point and made names for themselves. While there have been legendary artists that came from New Orleans over the years, there are two movements that instantly come to mind when you think of New Orleans and hip hop: Cash Money and No Limit. The artists are animated in their own right, along with their tales and stories of life in the streets and everything that surrounds them.

The hip hop culture in New Orleans has always been one that is full of style and flare.
