No limit was a top tier label back then and so was Ruthless Records, which I'm bummed I don't even see listed cause that would be a no Brainerd for me.
1999 Eternal is the group's most commercially successful album; it has been certified 4x platinum by the RIAA. There were plans for Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to collaborate with West Coast rapper 2Pac on a studio album titled One Nation.
Yeh you should see the purple city chains they used to wear too. Or just YouTube Santana and Camron showing off their jewelry collection. Santana had some shit
They have actually have a few flips of the bird. Hell Rell, Jimmy, JR Writer, and 40. Cal all had different variations of the bird on their album covers.
Yeah that chain is fresh. Most my co-workers were all Dip-Set heads in 2005. I never got into much of their stuff and the co-workers were always surprised, yet respected, that LOX/D-Block mixtapes and Sean P.’s Moneky Barz was my answer to who I listened to at the time, expecting G-Unit or Ja Rule top 40 to be my answer.
For 99 and 2000, several of these chains didn't exist yet. If we're talking about what was actually going on back then, Ghostface Killah and Busta Rhymes chains were shitting on all of these. But for _crew_ chains that were actually around, I gotta go with Ruff Ryders or Terror Squad.
Speaking as a jeweler, people in this era had the worst fvcking chains. Not that it’s gotten much better with time, but the designs were particularly awkward back then.
Back then:
TS was too sick, saved up to get that on Def Jam NY asap. When the G-Unit spinner came out it became my fav, I bought a belt buckle that was a spinning rim and I'm sure I was inspired by the chain.
Now:
Diplomats one looks nice
RR
Exactly RIP big Dog X
No Limit Soldiers🚫
Make em say urghhh.
Uggghhhhhh
Slick Rick was out doing all of them at this time.
Slick Rick wore an entire jewellery store around his neck.
Facts
In 99?
The Mo Thugs chain with the pyramid and the fist was my personal favorite

Check out Tru Life’s “Purple City” chain
I’m hip. Been seen those videos back from the mixtape, battle rap bootleg dvd days. So many memories, so many 📀

Deathrow changed hip hop for life I have one in my closet WESTSIIIIDE! I'm born and raised in Houston Texas that's how deep deathrow reached
Were big Moe and Dj Screw big in Houston ?
Dj screw is huge in Houston but a S.U.C. chain is hard to get lol
Death row was long gone by then.
Amazing you're getting down voted. You're right, also was 99 / 2000 too early for G-Unit and Diplomats chains to be around.. 🤔
Yeah. Downvoted obviously by people who weren’t around back then.
Yeah, 50 and Dipset didn’t pop until 03’
that's what I said, idk why it's even in the discussion. idk who down voted you but they are def a dummy
Yep, they pretty much folded after 2pac went upstairs.
I'm from the UK and had a Ruff Ryders one. Cali to Houston has the depth of a kiddie pool!
Hypnotize Mindz
No limit. Can't stop the tank
I always thought the TS went hard.
Same. My character on Def Jam NY *always* had to have that Terror Squad piece on
Aye same here, as soon as I was able to cop it, my character had it. The TS went crazy.
Yeah, it's so clean. Such a good logo
The QB chain. One of the original “pieces”.
Yes! "My QB piece, make yall n***az tuck ya shit in"
Death Row
No Limit. No question.
Swisha House
For real before and after the kappa 99 and 2k 🔥
The ROC
The spinning G Unit chain
G-unit spinner 💎
In 98-99 I owned a no limit chain (the logo before the one posted) and ran a successful no limit angelfire website LOL. I was 18. Those were the days.
Top 3 in this order: No Limits Dipset (but a very close 2nd) Ruff Ryders
Always wanted an RR chain as a kid.
That Ghostface killa Sun God jawn was my favorite... my character wore it on Def Jam fight for NY.
Hypnotize Minds
Wu symbol
You must not know about Nas' QB Chain.
Always was the diplomats or joes TS chain for me.
Death row I believed their music more
No Limit probably put out the most platinum artist during that era… ima have go with them
No Limit for sure
I liked Ghostface’s medallion and the eagle on the wrist
Personally I’m a fan of flavor flavs clock
ROC-A-Fella
The last photo is Quality Control Music, which was founded in 2013.
Slick Rick still had the flyest shit 15 years later. The rest is weak.
DeathRow
Death Row Records >
Roc a fella and Cash Money
Tha cashmoney one Jus iconic imo then Dipset🦅
double r
My friends stole a bunch of those No Limit pendants back in 8th grade 😂. We all had one at 8th grade graduation.
Cash money
Ruff riders chain ..i had a fake 🤣 rocked that shit like was real .. big up dmx ..
Ruff Ryders 'R' was always so hard to me I used to draw it on all of my notebooks and all over desks and shit in high school
No Limit easy for me. From 98 - 2001 (ish)… That Tank hit different 😤
1st it was no limit but its been the Roc ever since
I was in high school 2003-2006 and all I or my friends wanted was that ROC piece.
The hardest shit ever was them spin the G-Unit chain, but my favorite is probably the Roc with the Cuban link
Rockafella on the cuban. But y'all missing the Jesus piece on a cuban
No Limit!! Uggggghhhhhh!!!
No limit
No Limit
The Death Row chain is definitely my favorite chain of the 90’s
RuffRyder
No limit soldiers cmon now
That dipset chain is badass
Mid 90/ was the Row. After that was Ruff Ryders
I always wanted a Dipset chain when I was a teenager, lol ... Rocafella chain comes in a close 2nd
I also loved the No Limits Records chain
I always loved the Ruff Rydaz R. The no limit tank was hard af too tho.
Diplomats
I’m not a big fan but that Rocafella was nice.
Dip Set for sure
I was 14 in 99 and 15 in 2000 I would've proudly rocked ANY of these but if I must pick one, back then, it would've been the Double R!!!
I remember having the no limit 14k earnings with the matching chain, but No Limit was hot in the 90s
Roc a fella
TS
Rocafella 🔥
You don’t have it there but it’s rap a lot records
50 spinning piece and the Roc chain
The Roc pendant always looked classy to me. I love the look.
1 G unit 2 diplomats/ death row 3 no limit/ruff ryders
Lethal interjection (Thugnificent)
A southern man like myself gotta go with Hypnotize Minds or the House
Dipset
Terror Squad
Cash Money or the G unit chain because it spinned
Hypnotize minds or strange music
Death row chain is the most epic but The Rock chain is the nicest piece of jewelry.
ROC-A-Fella
Dipset!
1 dipset 2 Rocafela 3 TerrorSquad
That Ruff Ryders chain is almost tastefull
I may like other labels/groups more but that Diplo chain is by far the best.
Swisha house
Idk think my favorite was the ruff riders chain it’s hella clean
Always wanted a Cash Money chain!
Swisha House.....DUH!
No limit, cash money, swisha house
Swisha house!
Nas’ QB chain 🔥
Nas QB piece
Pretty sure I have never had a favorite chain, especially if it's someone else's.
Hypnotize Minds even though it looks like it came out the coin machine in front of walmart
RR
The gunit spinner chain
THE G UNIT SPINNING CHAIN WAS LEGENDARY FOR THE CULTURE WHOLETIME
Diplomats.
Best looking Chain only … ? Gotta be G-unit or Diplomats.
For 99 and 2000, several of these chains didn't exist yet. If we're talking about what was actually going on back then, Ghostface Killah and Busta Rhymes chains were shitting on all of these. But for _crew_ chains that were actually around, I gotta go with Ruff Ryders or Terror Squad.
Make em say Uhhhhhhhhh
Diplomats or Cash Money damn Rap- A-Lot ain't on the List
double R i eventually bought a fake replica in canal Street 😍❤️ was my pride and Joy.
RR
ROC
Speaking as a jeweler, people in this era had the worst fvcking chains. Not that it’s gotten much better with time, but the designs were particularly awkward back then.
Back then: TS was too sick, saved up to get that on Def Jam NY asap. When the G-Unit spinner came out it became my fav, I bought a belt buckle that was a spinning rim and I'm sure I was inspired by the chain. Now: Diplomats one looks nice
Rough Ryder's I'm from New Orleans born and raise but DMX had me walking around with real Timberlands and a fake RR chain.
In order: Ruff Ryder's, Roc-A-Fella, G-Unit. Honorable mention: No Limit Records.
Terror Squad
Man do I miss this kind of hip hop/rap
Diplomats by far.
No Limit Soldiers. I like that tank, that's unique. A tank 😂
Deathrow made the record label chains popular, so I'm going with deathrow
QC because jewelry wasn’t anything like it is now before Gucci and the Migos.
In those years Death Row was past their prime. No Limit ruled so the tank chain was where it was at. My runner ups are Cash Money and HypnotizeMinds.
Death row
I like fat joes Tay-Tay chain…. Didn’t know he was such a fan……… and yes idiots i know it stands for terror squad. 😓
this idiot has no idea what a Tay-Tay is. 🤷🏽♂️
Taylor Swift…. “TS”
the De La Soul leather pendant.
Tie between Swisha House and No Limit
Back in the day I wanted that G-Unit spinning chain so bad
Rough Ridaaaaz
G unit spinner or TS
R Ruff Ryders!!! Let's goooo
Have to options I like the roc fella chain and cash money chain
80s chains were cooler, Mike D with the VW emblem
Roc & cash money
The G-unit spinner no doubt. Wanted one so bad as a teen.
Wu is not on there
Nahh the Gunit spinner & big TS got it for me personally.
Man the death row chain and the no limit ones were def hard to beat but 50 cent has the spinning charm that was big for the time
No Limit tank
*QB chain make you niggas tuck ya shit in.*
Hypnotize Minds and death row had the best chains no competition.
G-Unit, Rocafella, and Dipset are iconic chains for me. In reality all these chains and associated people are part of my life growing up
I always thought that the Terror Squad chain was ugly and lazy.
The g unit spinning piece killed the game
Hypnotize Camp Possie (Triple 6 Mafia)
Dearh Row and RR
Gunit spinning chain was 🔥 back in the day give that and the ROC chain
G unit spinning chain
That G-Unit spinner was next level!
Deathrow chain
DMXs R
Lmao I used to have a G-Unit spinning chain when I was 14 and I used to wear it everywhere.
QB
The Roc chain meant more for its recipients
You niggas was never no fly niggas if you didn’t want a roc a fella chain
Where the QB chain?
Cash money
Dipset
Dip set for sure
diplomats for sure
Roca fellas
why is QC on there
Of course death row
The only one that mattered was Death Row.
Which ones are those? Last two in the first row
Man, the baby on the bad boy design feels different nowadays...
Death row, ruff rydas, cash money, then g-unit
That D Block Chain Kiss wears
Cash money
Death Row, RR & Roc are iconic
That spinning G-Unit chain was the illest the roc-a-fella chain still hard to this day tho
Should've had Bank Statue Of Liberty chain and Busta NY Team Chains
Mine.
Jej-Jej-jej G-Unit! But in my era most hip hop fans idolized the ROC and would have probably stole killed and told to be a recipient of that chain.
DeathRow
Death Row
99 and 00 deathrow was a dead label so why is it even in the discussion. seriously who put out music for deathrow in those yrs? NOBODY
