I’m from Chicago too and my dad from Mississippi and always played 8ball and mjg when I came down for the summer. What side of da chi y’all from im from englewood. 62nd n normal went to Walter reed and englewood
Joe, I'm from the Chi as well, these cats have always been dope, I remember going to Orange Mound in Memphis to visit my cousins, and they showed me where they used to be.
I'm from Dallas and Ball and G are legends. When coming out hard came out , there wasn't a football game , club , nor any event you pulled up to without here Ball and G. I'm 44 they are Legends, remember it like yesterday
"Ran a gold comb through my curls, walking out of the house slow telling that hoe come on let's go..." 8ball We used to sneak and listen to this when we were kids. I was in 2nd grade in 93
Im 51 from Texas and man let me tell you you weren't nobody if you didnt have the latest Ball and JG cassette. The impact they had on hip hop in my opinion is only rivaled by RUN DMC and UGK. They are by far in the upper echelon of hip hop and this piece you did coming from a young buck perspective is VERY WELL put together bro. Keep doing your thang
Thank you so much for that compliment I deeply appreciate it. I just felt like they really don’t get the credit they deserve in hip hop lyrically. So since they’re my favorite duo of all time. I had to give them their flowers with this episode. I had to re-edit this episode 3 times before I got it right.
Man! I was introduced to Ball & G by a white cat while I was in the Army stationed in Louisiana. Buddy used to drive a champagne colored Delta 88 on gold Daytons! He was a Texas Boy. I'mma a West Coast nigga. I'm from South Central, LA born and raised. So I was heavy on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" that was released like 7 - 8 months before "Comin' Out Hard." So I wasn't really tryin' to hear shit else. But Ball & G caught my ear FaREAL FaREAL! I've been a fan ever since. I'm glad I found this. You're doing good work my guy. You earned my sub. Salute.
My home town 🔥🔥🔥...... 2 of the most humble guys I ever met..... Whenever you see them in the 901 and speak they always take time to talk with you, even if it's only for a few minutes. They never 4got where they came from. Bethel Grove and Orange 🍊 Mound stand up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm from Port Arthur Texas and I live my hometown artist Ugk and 8ball and MJG you know them boys is the one from another city I could relate too and even in PA I still felt that Memphis vibe and been on it since 93 💯
Man, man, man! I'm born and raised in New Orleans. So, I was always looking for lesser known artists on the scene. I remember finding "Coming out Hard" in the record store. I grabbed it because they're from the south, and at that time, the south was just starting to make our mark in the hip hop game. From first listen, I was hooked. They had a fan. Before long, everyone was bumping that tape around the city. These guys are living legends for sure. They deserve more love than they've been getting.
You are from NOLA you remember Ball n G getting bump all over the city back in the day. This is no lie. When I moved to Flint in 88 they were getting bumped there too 😂 nation wide world wide Ball n G
I agree with you whole heartedly. I'm from Nashville and been riding with them since Coming Out Hard and they been favorite duo of all time. The most under-rated but respected duo to do it.
I'm from west Tennessee and i was 28 when COMING OUT HARD came out and let me tell you that their music was heard throughout the country. I think that they should get a lifetime achievement award for the tremendous work that they put in throughout the years of being among the fore fronters of rap in Memphis, TN as well as the South. They brought a new sound and style of rap to the surface and their artistry earmarked their status as one of the most illest dual rap artist in hip hop history. Their work shouldn't go unnoticed. Big Ups to 8 Ball & MJG!
Honor and Respect young brother. I'm 53 years young & from the STL. When 8 & MJG hit St. Louis they're music and Billboards where everywhere ⚡️ As far as repping the South they had Big BARZ 🔥 No disrespect to Triple 6 but they put Memphis on the map⚡️ Big Indian Business, Peace 🙏🏽💧💎
Much love and respect back to you my brother. DJ PAUL even gave Ball & G their respect by calling them the first rappers to blow up from Memphis before them. 💯💯💯💯
I’m from Houston. We felt like they were just as much Houston as the Geto Boys were. I saw them live a few times. Really cool dudes. That Coming Out Hard album is perfection and we played that nonstop for a while.
I'm from Cincinnati and Comin Out Hard was one of the soundtrack's my childhood. My pops used to play this shit daily. That album still in my rotation till this day. They really living legends.
On Top of the World… hands down thier BEST ALBUM… not even close… from Intro to Break em Off… not one skip best production lyrical content…strong collabs… the only album of theirs I bump consistently since 1995🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 period!💪🏾💪🏾
Much respect for 8Ball and MJG! I'm from Ohio and first listening to their music back in 95 I knew they was gonna be big! Living Legends! Not once have they switched up because of the industry, they kept it real and street! And to the narrator, I dont know your name but respect to you for putting this together!
I appreciate the comment and the viewership fr fr and my name is MOSS and this is my channel The MN aka The Moss Network. I have a lot more dope content on the way 💯
I'm from Louisville, been a Ball/ G fan since a young teen. Their music helped me through many tough times in my life. This is hands down the best work I've seen done on their legendary careers. I truly appreciate your work.
I was 16 when "Coming out hard" came out and I was gonna share the long story on first hearing it, but man I think it was the first Memphis album I heard where i felt proud, and I remember it just felt so Memphis more than any other Memphis rap album up to that time in my opinion. And when I first heard it we were riding through the gutters of Memphis, and it made it that much better. But I moved to Louisiana a couple of years later for school, and I brought that album with me and I got so much respect from the brothas from New Orleans, not because i was bumping it so much, but because they were already bumping it in New Orleans before I came down,and I just happened to be from Memphis and they found out, and they expressed the album as being a classic as well, but good documentary man. I learned a lot of information i didn't know.💯
I moved to Memphis in 1994. I preferred Ball and G over 3-6 at the time. I remember watching Yo! MTV Raps that showcased OutKast. At the end of the episode, the entire Dungeon Family was going nuts huddled up in a Cadillac listening to Ball’s verse from South Circle’s “Unsolved Mysteries”. Justifiably so. My man said he was 350 of Pimp N--a from Tennessee.
Im born and raised in Memphis and I was 22 when Coming Out Hard dropped. Instant classic!! Like you said you could play it without skipping tracks. It was and still is great riding music!
I appreciate you for dropping jewels on dees Tennessee veterans..they deserve wayyyyy more than have been granted...oh and my favorite Ball solo is Starships and Rockets of the SuaveHouse compilation album and MJG 2pimpin album got me thinking I'ma a big ole pimp..I love dem Kats same as you been listening to em since Coming Out Hard down here in Nashville..I was like 10 then and I'm 42 now...much love and respect to the Kings of the South Ball n G Forever.
I'm from Cincinnati and I grew up on Southern Hip Hop. Southern hip hop taught me to be proud of where I came from. Because I came up during a time where the south and the midwest were frowned upon in the music industry by the east coast calling us country in the 90's but I'm proud to say that the south has taught me alot. 💯
Whooooa! Ball & G got me through high school and college growing up in Louisiana. Im a grown man and still bumping all their music every week and every week I find something that makes more sense to that they said damn near 30 years ago. I work with a lot of young cats who put me on some good music every now and then. In return, I give a classic Ball and G song to digest. 😂 and they love it. Two underrated artist of all time. Whenever I caught up with someone from my past, we always bust I a Ball & G verse on each other. These young music catalog is keeping me Young. Suave out!
On top of the world 🌎 coming out hard in our lifetime balls solo double disk lost and many more some of the best albums of all time my favorite rap duo ever
I was fresh outta high-school when coming out hard dropped. Everyone in Chicago was bumpin 8 Ball and MJG. I bought, and still have they're first 3 cd's.💯
I’m from Baltimore me and my home boy’s use to listen to this these cassette tapes both sides riding around in a crackheads car smoking blunts early 96-97 good old days
Damn that’s crazy…I visited my folks up there in the summmer of 97 and got clowned for the music I was tryna put dem on to. Mainly artist from Texas, Tennessee and Alabama 😂😂😂.
coming out Hard sent shockwaves through the streets of Dallas Tx in 1994. I remember asking my potna Ced after he popped in the cassette, "Who is THIS!?" And the rest is history.
When I first heard ball n G I was 15..... I'm being honest MJG raised me and taught me how women run game and it shaped me PERIOD!!! BALL taught me to watch dudes and how they will set you up!!
I’m glad these stories are coming out. It’s the same all over the world. East coast might have started hip hop but we didn’t own anything. Stop the narrative that we didn’t play out of town music because we definitely did and most of our aunts uncles and grandparents and cousins for that matter comes from the south for sure. Please continue to educate and show that we all play each other’s music. The powers that be tricked y’all again. Salute.
I appreciate it Niche, much love and respect to everything you’ve been doing for years. I felt that it was only right. All of this talk of celebrating 50 years of hip hop, nobody mentioned Ball & G? C’mon now. So as a representative of Memphis/ 🍊Mound. I had do my part as a fan, & content creator by paying homage to favorite rap duo of all time
These guys played a big part in my grooming as far as southern hip hop. 1993 Comin Out Hard was a dope ass time where I'm from..I'm from Stuttgart AR 1hr& 55 mins from Memphis so they impacted a lot of local artists back then including myself...Thank you to 8ball & MJG the real KINGS of Memphis💙🙏🏿
Love this Dedication. I'm from St. Louis MO. My best friend had cousins from Memphis. We were like the first ones that were playing Comin' Out Hard in the hood. My friend's older brother had a gold Jetta and put tint letters on the back dashboard with Comin Out Hard on it. Everyone was like what are yall listening to? St. Louis loves 8 Ball & MJG. We rode to that tape all summer and year. The next Thanksgiving the Memphis cousins put us on Lyrics of a Pimp and On the Outside Lookin' In. Then it was over when Space Age Pimpin came out. Man, you have me reliving my childhood. We got a hold of Indo G and Lil Blunt. Tripe 6 came later on. This is probably the most underrated group ever. Especially MJG.
Thank you for checking out the episode 💯. Also,That’s why they’ll always be my favorite duo. They gave us real messages in their music and I feel like that’s missing in todays culture.
I'm from Indianapolis Indiana when is album coming out hard came out I was on it country slang with that slick tongue 8 balls poetry MJG poetry speedy lyrics man to me just like when I first heard Tupac they got me trapped I knew these dudes are destined to be great as of to this day 2024 8Ball MJG is my favorite duel of all time and they don't get the recognition they deserve just like Tupac being my favorite solo artists of all time these dudes have countless rotations in my playlist 💯👊🏿💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥 living Legends
Thanks for making this video I listen to them daily. I was 15 when Coming Out Hard came out. I had a 78 Delta 88 with concert in trunk. Spent many all nighters getting to bag listening to the Goats. I’m from Michigan and they got played plenty. My top three rappers Scarface, 8 Ball, E40 somedays I be like Ball my number one lol. But it’s all love this was when rap was at its best.
Bro, I was 18 when Comin Out Hard came out. My boy played me "9 Little Milimeta Boys" and then "Mr. Big"... It was on from then on... Listen, bro, the simplicity of them beats, the deep southern rythms, and the clear lyrical story tellin them boys came with I still get chills listening to them songs. Southern Lyrical Excellence. Ball & G. Respect!!!
Love love love the 90's ❤so wish i could go back! It was such a vibe!!!! I was 18 ❤and the luv for music 🎶 was real!! Thank you for this video and the trip down memory lane!! We give our hood flowers to our greats because we know they will not!! Love 8 Ball & MJG ❤
I’m from Gary Indiana and I grew up bumpin Ball and G hard! They legends in my city as if it was Memphis. The only comparison is OutKast and UGK. When Comin Out Hard dropped it was the beginning of the best era of rap and this album was a instant classic
I have been listening to Eightball & MJG since I was teenager and still to this day I still listen to there music. they music is the soundtrack of my childhood ❤
Homeboy I’m from Chattanooga TN. and everytime they popped off in Memphis they popped off as hard in our town so I appreciate this video and 100% agree with EVERYTHING you said. And the end of this video was spoken well by one and I approve your message.
Man I been rockn ball&g since day 1 and still keep their music in my rotation. Imma big fan of dez dudes so I thank you for showing dem some love....On top of the world is a untouchable classic
I’m from New Jersey the first time I heard 8Ball & MJG I was on vacation with my parents in Valdosta Georgia and the song was Pimps turnt me out, been a fan ever since
My man, I'm not from Memphis. I'm from Atlanta but surprisingly to me. I shopped at this record store back in the days called third world and I had the tape in about March of 93. Before it was released. I don't know how I got my hands-on it. But the people at store were very kind to me. And told me here's a new group. Get this tape and you will enjoy it. To my surprise, the guy must have been a real music buff. Because when I got the tape, I could not take it out of the tape deck for about 6 moss straight straight. I listen to this thing track for track. Not skipping a track, that's how Great, that music sound to me. I had never heard anything like that before in my life. This is something that anyone who loves music should listen to now asap.
The album, Comin’ Out Hard, had the streets of, Memphis, in a frenzy. Everywhere in the city where there was anyone interested in hip hop was playing that album. No radio play was needed. No hype necessary. It was banging out of the trunks of vehicles, out of the houses, on every corner of, Memphis. Real people, real street credibility. That type of love that highly commercialized artists can’t pay for.
Excellent job! Being from NY, I always liked what I heard from 8Ball &MJG. However, I can't say that I'm well versed with their music. This was, entertaining, informative, and now I'm going to check out these albums.
This was beautifully done sir! 8 Ball and MJG inspired a kid coming from RVA to Nashville TN in 95. My whole production approach was developed there and I was listening them hard! They made me start playing keys and adding in real instruments over top of the samples and all! Came back from there and started cutting records!! And I was the first to bump them around my city!!! People lost their mind and I told them then, the South bout to take over! You couldn’t deny it and they did and still doing it!!! Much respect to you brother and you did yo homework on this one player!!!!!! God bless!
I met 8-Ball at Walmart here in Atlanta over 10 years ago and I tell you, it was like I walked into GOD in that store. This Bro music saved my life years before I met him and to this day, I still bump that shit like it came out yesterday. Even saw them this summer at The 50 Years of Hip Hop Tour in Atlanta 😊
COMING OUT HARD, OUTSIDE LOOKING IN AND ON TOP OF THE WORLD, WAS LITERALLY MY LIFE SOUNDTRACK. My favorite group ever, and friend or foe and what can I do favorite songs ever. I was literally going through every thing they was rapping about during the releases.
My heart pumps Louisiana hotsauce Tennessee O.G get a bitch bumped off,love 8ball and MJG they're (PIMP TIGHT)! Love their M Gang Album also. Got a noise ordinance ticket bumping this in my Lincoln Mark LT truck!!😊❤truck. Love those guys in Shreveport, Louisiana!!
I was stationed in Fulda,Germany 1/11TH ACR Blackhorse Calvary Unit when (Comin Out Hard) debuted. Just did our tour from Iraq,Lord knows I bumped 8ball and MJG daily. They motivated me and I even got white and German friends to become fans of these gifted brothers, the loved their music also!
I had just joined the Army and was at my first duty station in Augusta. I really didn't mess with the South until a partner put me on to Coming Out Hard. Changed my life! Classic material
Much ❤for Ball &G… they raised me in dem 90’s in Bama!!! Prichard Alabama felt like these boys were from our neighborhood!!! True hip hop legends, icons and stewards of the game
Im from Houston and Im a Dj. I was 14 when coming out hard was released. We loved this in Houston. Mr. BIG WAS ONE ON THE BIGGEST SONGS STILLBIN HOUSTON.
💥From Texas, I was in Virginia in 1992 & met a dude from Memphis & we swapped out underground music. He gave me MJG&8BALL and I gave him "Street Military" from Houston. We both were impressed!!! I have been hooked since!💥
The song love hurts…maaan that song there made a grown man cry…and made you reach for something deeper than the landscape you were living in…shout out the boyz
True GOATs in the industry. Been a fan since Comin' Out Hard! On top of the World is my all time fav! Anything theses boys lay vocals to is a classic the moment it drops!
They came to the kappa beach party every year in Galveston tx,and no security,and they wear cool takeing pic with everybody,did a gang of features,for a lot of texas rappers,sustin tx,dallas tx, Houston tx,and souronding areas,so i salute 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 them guys,,they are right there with ugk,

I got the exact same story but with the mind of Mystikal maayyyyne and down south hustlers a few months later it was everywhere
UNDERRATED. Love them both. But MJG is a lyrical beast
MJG IS DEFINITELY A LYRICAL BEAST!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Especially on those 1st 3 albums
He would've Wayne a run for his money 💰
@4pokketwalkerhomebaby153 Wayne isn’t even on MJG’s level when it comes to lyricism
They both are lyrically blessed to me
I agree with you whole heartedly. I'm from Nashville and been riding with them since Coming Out Hard and they been favorite duo of all time. The most under-rated but respected duo to do it.
Thank you for checking out this episode I really appreciate it
We appreciate your good videos and content. Thanks for giving us something good to watch in today's society that's full of bs.

"Love Hurts" I still play this regularly to this day

I'm from west Tennessee and i was 28 when COMING OUT HARD came out and let me tell you that their music was heard throughout the country.

I was in high school when that album came out. I am born and raised in Birmingham, AL. We couldn't get enough of 8-ball and MJG!!!

I appreciate your viewership thank you so much. I got more on the way 💯
Same here big dawg, In Our Lifetime keep me together.
Whooooa! Ball & G got me through high school and college growing up in Louisiana. Im a grown man and still bumping all their music every week and every week I find something that makes more sense to that they said damn near 30 years ago. I work with a lot of young cats who put me on some good music every now and then. In return, I give a classic Ball and G song to digest. 😂 and they love it. Two underrated artist of all time. Whenever I caught up with someone from my past, we always bust I a Ball & G verse on each other. These young music catalog is keeping me Young. Suave out!
On top of the world 🌎 coming out hard in our lifetime balls solo double disk lost and many more some of the best albums of all time my favorite rap duo ever
I have every one of the CD's. And I still listen to all of them. These cats made Classic, Timeless Music!
I was fresh outta high-school when coming out hard dropped. Everyone in Chicago was bumpin 8 Ball and MJG. I bought, and still have they're first 3 cd's.💯
💯💯💯💯💯
Facts 🎯 Even in the South Suburbs as well 💯✊
I’m from Baltimore me and my home boy’s use to listen to this these cassette tapes both sides riding around in a crackheads car smoking blunts early 96-97 good old days
Damn that’s crazy…I visited my folks up there in the summmer of 97 and got clowned for the music I was tryna put dem on to. Mainly artist from Texas, Tennessee and Alabama 😂😂😂.
coming out Hard sent shockwaves through the streets of Dallas Tx in 1994. I remember asking my potna Ced after he popped in the cassette, "Who is THIS!?" And the rest is history.
Thanks for sharing your first listening experience my guy and appreciate you for checking out the episode 💯
No lies told.
Facts
When I first heard ball n G I was 15..... I'm being honest MJG raised me and taught me how women run game and it shaped me PERIOD!!! BALL taught me to watch dudes and how they will set you up!!
You earned your 👑 today mane. That was super solid of you to create this. 💯
I appreciate it thank you for checking out the episode 💯💯💯
He dam sho did
I’m glad these stories are coming out. It’s the same all over the world. East coast might have started hip hop but we didn’t own anything. Stop the narrative that we didn’t play out of town music because we definitely did and most of our aunts uncles and grandparents and cousins for that matter comes from the south for sure. Please continue to educate and show that we all play each other’s music.
The powers that be tricked y’all again.
Salute.
The greatest duo to do it straight out of Memphis.
Definitely 💯💯💯💯
This was a Dope video! As one of the 1st Artist signed to PUSH & 8Ball I’ll make sure someone from the team sees it 🫡 Niche aka P-Nyce
I appreciate it Niche, much love and respect to everything you’ve been doing for years. I felt that it was only right. All of this talk of celebrating 50 years of hip hop, nobody mentioned Ball & G? C’mon now. So as a representative of Memphis/ 🍊Mound. I had do my part as a fan, & content creator by paying homage to favorite rap duo of all time
I'm from NYC, moved to Maryland in 1999. I love 8 Ball & MJG. I actually have a crush on MJG. Love ❤️ there music 🎶 🎵
These guys played a big part in my grooming as far as southern hip hop. 1993 Comin Out Hard was a dope ass time where I'm from..I'm from Stuttgart AR 1hr& 55 mins from Memphis so they impacted a lot of local artists back then including myself...Thank you to 8ball & MJG the real KINGS of Memphis💙🙏🏿
Affirmative
Love this Dedication. I'm from St. Louis MO. My best friend had cousins from Memphis. We were like the first ones that were playing Comin' Out Hard in the hood. My friend's older brother had a gold Jetta and put tint letters on the back dashboard with Comin Out Hard on it. Everyone was like what are yall listening to? St. Louis loves 8 Ball & MJG. We rode to that tape all summer and year. The next Thanksgiving the Memphis cousins put us on Lyrics of a Pimp and On the Outside Lookin' In. Then it was over when Space Age Pimpin came out. Man, you have me reliving my childhood. We got a hold of Indo G and Lil Blunt. Tripe 6 came later on. This is probably the most underrated group ever. Especially MJG.
Amen, thank y'all for Friend of Foe, that's a classic for ANY mood
Thank you for checking out the episode 💯. Also,That’s why they’ll always be my favorite duo. They gave us real messages in their music and I feel like that’s missing in todays culture.
I'm from Indianapolis Indiana when is album coming out hard came out I was on it country slang with that slick tongue 8 balls poetry MJG poetry speedy lyrics man to me just like when I first heard Tupac they got me trapped I knew these dudes are destined to be great as of to this day 2024 8Ball MJG is my favorite duel of all time and they don't get the recognition they deserve just like Tupac being my favorite solo artists of all time these dudes have countless rotations in my playlist 💯👊🏿💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥 living Legends

I’m from Gary Indiana and I grew up bumpin Ball and G hard! They legends in my city as if it was Memphis. The only comparison is OutKast and UGK. When Comin Out Hard dropped it was the beginning of the best era of rap and this album was a instant classic
I have been listening to Eightball & MJG since I was teenager and still to this day I still listen to there music. they music is the soundtrack of my childhood ❤
Homeboy I’m from Chattanooga TN. and everytime they popped off in Memphis they popped off as hard in our town so I appreciate this video and 100% agree with EVERYTHING you said. And the end of this video was spoken well by one and I approve your message.
Say what you want but that “Relax and take notes” was one the hardest songs by Ball & G. It still slaps in 2024🔥🔥🔥
Man I been rockn ball&g since day 1 and still keep their music in my rotation. Imma big fan of dez dudes so I thank you for showing dem some love....On top of the world is a untouchable classic
I was 17(2008) when I first really got on 8ball and mjg. Man.... They gave me soooo many gems and life lessons. Forever grateful for these guys! 💯
8ball & MJG=Living Legends 💯
Yes indeed 💯💯💯
I’m from Flint, Mi and I was 16 when Coming Out Hard came out. Ball and G was accepted very well here. We banged the hell out of that.
I’m from New Jersey the first time I heard 8Ball & MJG I was on vacation with my parents in Valdosta Georgia and the song was Pimps turnt me out, been a fan ever since
My man, I'm not from Memphis. I'm from Atlanta but surprisingly to me. I shopped at this record store back in the days called third world and I had the tape in about March of 93. Before it was released. I don't know how I got my hands-on it. But the people at store were very kind to me. And told me here's a new group. Get this tape and you will enjoy it. To my surprise, the guy must have been a real music buff. Because when I got the tape, I could not take it out of the tape deck for about 6 moss straight straight. I listen to this thing track for track. Not skipping a track, that's how Great, that music sound to me. I had never heard anything like that before in my life. This is something that anyone who loves music should listen to now asap.
The album, Comin’ Out Hard, had the streets of, Memphis, in a frenzy. Everywhere in the city where there was anyone interested in hip hop was playing that album. No radio play was needed. No hype necessary. It was banging out of the trunks of vehicles, out of the houses, on every corner of, Memphis. Real people, real street credibility. That type of love that highly commercialized artists can’t pay for.
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
Appreciate this documentary, I love 🎱 & MJG. I always say On Top Of The World is one of the best albums ever!! Word shout to Memphis with love from 🇨🇦
Thank you for checking out this episode I really appreciate it
Np my brotha, I am a loyal subscriber to your channel now, keep up the good content!!
Excellent job! Being from NY, I always liked what I heard from 8Ball &MJG. However, I can't say that I'm well versed with their music. This was, entertaining, informative, and now I'm going to check out these albums.

Comin Out was an instant classic to me from the legends
I'm from Houston coming out hard was the hardest thing that year still would listen to it
From Duval and we didn't get Coming Out Hard until 1994 but when it dropped it was a game changer. They one of the most underrated groups of all time.
On the outside looking in came out in 94 and comin out hard came out in 93
Album On the outside looking in is a legendary album. Cannot skip one track .
Im from Louisiana I remember that shit coming out when i was in jr high, me and my homies had that shit on repeat
This was beautifully done sir! 8 Ball and MJG inspired a kid coming from RVA to Nashville TN in 95. My whole production approach was developed there and I was listening them hard! They made me start playing keys and adding in real instruments over top of the samples and all! Came back from there and started cutting records!! And I was the first to bump them around my city!!! People lost their mind and I told them then, the South bout to take over! You couldn’t deny it and they did and still doing it!!! Much respect to you brother and you did yo homework on this one player!!!!!! God bless!
Thank you so much my brother. I’m glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your viewership. 💯💯💯💯
@@TheMossNet No doubt mane!!!!! Just subbed you!!!
I met 8-Ball at Walmart here in Atlanta over 10 years ago and I tell you, it was like I walked into GOD in that store. This Bro music saved my life years before I met him and to this day, I still bump that shit like it came out yesterday. Even saw them this summer at The 50 Years of Hip Hop Tour in Atlanta 😊
