    I'd argue they maxed they potential as a group more than most...They ain't have jail and the grave split them apart like UGK- R.I.P Pimp C...& unlike 'Kast they actually wanted to make music together...Them 2 made solo albums and still always came back together for more albums or songs as 8Ball & MJG...they probly the tighest duo ever....Stunted only by the industry really...

I’m grateful that they didn’t suffer any label issues which could have shelved their album. They left Suave House due to label issues. Tony Draper shouldn’t have signed that distribution deal with JCOR records either. Suave House could have signed a distribution deal with Koch or something

    During their career Ball&G have multiple gold and platinum plaques. They're universally recognized as southern hip hop royalty and pioneers. They made plenty of noise on the independent circuit with Suave House. And they made noise on a major and iconic label like Bad Boy.
    They've worked with Puff Daddy, Mase, DMX, Bone Thugs, Twista, Outkast, UGK, Master P, Ice Cube, E-40, Too Short, Spice 1, MC Ren, DJ Quik, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Rodman, Busta Rhymes,, Slim Thug, TI, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Big KRIT....just to name a few.
    How the hell was their growth stunted or potential not reached?
    No, they never did interviews with Oprah or The Today Show or won Grammy's. But they're still very much legends and highly respected.

    Not every artist need or want mainstream recognition to be considered dope. Ball and G got more songs with more substance than most artists whole catalogs. Just Paid Dues by itself is lightyears better than most other artists songs. MJG never gave you a weak feature or verse. Ball never strayed away from his love of music, written and spoken word. And they never compromised who they are. Go and listen to Ball "the artist pays the price" and youll see just how important artists like them are.

    I wonder what’s their assessment of their careers thus far. Everybody’s not meant to be a star. Puffy made stars out of Biggie and Mase but it just didn’t happen for The LOX or 8Ball and MJG for that matter. All I can do is applaud the longevity sort of like how Fat Joe is still around. How many artists who go as far back as a 1993 had to go get regular jobs? I don’t know their finances but I’m sure they’re still getting paid from music. They were never big sellers but I was always as AMAZED at the love 8Ball used to get from east coast artists back in the day. MJG was never really embraced by them like they did Ball. MJ was the better rapper in my opinion. 8Ball’s albums have been straight DUDS from Almost Famous onward and some of his verses kinda fall flat in certain spots. I think some of it he says off the top of his head. It doesn’t work all the time. MJ has NEVER been consistent as a solo artist.
