As A Dude Just Discovering 8 Ball And MJG

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Probably one of my top 5 Ball & G tracks, and one of the best collab tracks ever. A shame it never gets mentioned.


Their best albums are (in MY order), On Top of the World, Coming Out Hard and On the Outside Looking In. Those 3 albums are GREAT. In My Lifetime is straight, but it's not touching those first 3. If you're just starting, I'd go with On Top of the World first. If you don't like that, you won't like anything they do.

I'm listening On Top of the World now. It's dope. I should've gotten into them earlier.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Living legends was a great album

As a 90s East Coast kid, I can tell you On Top of The World is the TRUTH

...made alot of cheese, people say I changed

 

[QamYasharahla]

how many of ya favorite rappers put out a solid triple album?

It was a double album with a bonus disc of Universal artist.

 

[QamYasharahla]

i'll give it another go but i think they're at their best with that Suave House funky sound

There is some good tracks on it, but I definitely wouldn't put it in the top tier of their music. Most people that do started fukking with them around that time.

space age pimpin ...i had the round sticker permanently stuck on my bed post throughout jh/hs ...was never able to peel it off

 

[H.I.M.]

Greatest duo in rap history...fukk whoever disagrees.

 

[The_Hillsta]

Don't Sleep on that 1st MJG album

 

[YeahN1ggaImmaLurker!]

One of my favorites..beat is dope and ball and G both killed it

 

[JulesWinfield]

On Top of the World is their best album imo.

 

[Dixon Cider]

agh, memories... Thank me later

 

[OHSNAP!]

loved their first 4 albums, but Living Legenda is one of my top 10 rap albums of all time...Forever, Dont Make Me, No Drama, Memphis City Blues, Str8 Cadillac Pimpin' PIIIIIIFFFFFFFFIDDDDYYYY

If you're just starting, I'd go with On Top of the World first. If you don't like that, you won't like anything they do.

I'll agree with this part.

On Top Of The World is my least favorite album of their prime, but it still go.

Comin' Out Hard is solid, classic.

In My Lifetime is the closest they have to a perfect album imo, the first 6 cuts on there are as good as
any 6 in a row anywhere.

On The Outside Looking In is my favorite one to bump doe, because
I have a soft spot in my heart for Breed (PBUH) and he was all over that mugg.

 

[Taadow]

Of course ain't nothin fukking with their Suave House records, but that Livin legends album was pretty damn great...shocked me how fresh it sounded and it still sounds great today

No doubt. "Cruisin'", "30 Rocks", and "Hickory dikkory Dock" is on the pre-game mix.

HipHop Fact:

8Ball & Mjg was Pimp C's favorite group of all time.
