About On Top of Da World

On Top of da World is the debut album by Lil Italy. It was released on August 3, 1999 for No Limit Records and was produced by Master P and members of Beats By the Pound. It peaked at #99 on the Billboard 200 and #20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but failed to gain the sales of No Limit's previous releases and Lil Italy was soon dropped from the label. Michael Gallucci of Allmusic rated the album two out of five stars, writing that it "has no personality, not one distinguishing mark to separate it from the rest of the [No Limit] army. " As of 2005, the album has sold 14,271 copies. It was reported that an estimated 47,000 copies were shipped upon release date. This would be the last album produced by beats by the pound for No Limit Records as the left in July 1999 over creative differences. more »
