Classics Discussion: 8Ball & MJG

[Taadow]

What's their best album in their discography?

Can't be called...it depends on what you want for the day.

Are Mobb Deep's classics just "regional"?

I don't think The Infamous is regional tbh...it's transcended region

-----------------------------------------------------------

I think 8Ball & MJG are suffering from not having a clear stand-out album, and maybe two of their albums will get over 50% of yes votes and not enough to get classic status

Mobb was nationwide from the jump.
Ball and G weren't getting video play until the third album.

can you get a universal classic and regional classic within the same discog?

like could you say The Infamous is universal classic but HOE is regional?

Sure. UGK would be a good example if you considered one of their first two albums regional classics.
Hell on Earth wasn't a regional album then or now.

Dumb ass cracka.

I must say am I FLOORED by the vote on On Top Of The World.
No hate - but that's my least favorite Ball & G album, even though it's still pretty good.

No classics, but I I'll say their discography across the board is very dope to listen to. I don't think they've dropped a bad album and every album has a couple of classic individual tracks.

That's kind of how I'm feeling although I might give the nod to Comin Out Hard because that's my favorite album from them

None.

In Our Lifetime is their best album IMO. Throw Ya Hands Up and We Don't Give A Fukk are their 2 best songs.

Paid Dues..Daylight..DoItHowItGo..Don't Flex..We Started This...

I feel like Eightball & MJG are getting played. They aren't a regional act. If anything, they are underrated. Out of their entire catalog, Comin' Out Hard is the classic. That album pioneered a lot from the sound and the content that can be heard on a lot of songs now (regardless of region).

Comin out hard 5/5

On the outside looking in 5/5

On top of the world 5/5

In our lifetime 5/5

Space age forever 3.75/5

Living legends 4.25/5
