Discussion: 8ball or MJG

[I'm Blackman]

both great...1a or 1b

 

[MrRDU]

8Ball

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

Extra gear with flow and delivery, sometimes lyrically, and that part (lyrically) is where he gets Ball on a track sometimes.

Sometimes it's vice versa though. For example Ball murdered G on Shine and Recline

one of my favorite songs ever from them

G killed that hook tho

 

[Mac Ten]

Listening to a Ball and G song feels make me feel like a fly in the room listening to them tell stories…

You can’t really go wrong with either but I’m taking Ball.


Ball repped hard for the big fat rappers. Dude didn’t have to trick either.


When it comes to the Fat Boys in Hip Hop, he’s very underrated.

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

MJG by a very slim margin

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

MJG better imo...Ball can't blackout like he can. Ball is a better solo artist tho.

This simple take fundamentally explains their careers in a nutshell.


And this isnt shade being thrown… i love this duo more than i do; outkast, ugk, mobb deep, for starters) - their catalogue is prolly some of my fav. 8’s lost album is one of the most consistent southern lp’s period.



But mjg is a beast. I think its his mic presence that does it for me.



When he hops on Meal Ticket.., the world jts a bit. Tectonic plates shift and turtles poke their heads out their shells hella fast to get in on the commotion.



Forever is a personal classic tune… when he does the “oof off” blow on the track… shiit does it for me.



This also one of my fav thug love tunes all time;

I honestly didn’t know as many people thought MJG was better than 8ball. In no way form or fashion is this a contest and it’s probably one of the more lopsided duos, while also having to good MCs.

That absolutely not true. Eightball is dope AF but MJG ain't no chump either.
