"Your underground collection is not complete without 8 Ball's and MJG's Coming Out Hard. This actually put crunk southern music on the map b4 it blew up out of control and made radio play and syndication. First there was the down south booty shake and then came the underground southern pimp/gangsta. This CD is sooooo hot, i have had to re-purchase it a total of 5 times, becuz it keeps coming up stolen! you dont feel me, this is a sit back and ride out cd, where you never have to push the fast forward button, you just let it play all the way thru."

"This is straight good music. These are pioneers of the south right along with Scarface. From the intro to the end it is straight bump. Enough Said!!"
Dirty South LEGENDS

"Personally I dont think the 90's West Coast scene even comes close to the Dirty South of the early 90's. The Blues, Soul, and G Funk is just leaking out the speakers on every song. So original and fresh. Houston, Texas (UGK, Geto Boys), Memphis, Tennesee(8 ball & MJG, Triple Six), and Atlanta (Outkast, Goodie Mobb)have made the biggest contributions to southern rap. Even if the North dont acknowledge these albums as classics, in the south niggas know whats up."
Another early classic from Ball & G

"This is the 1st album the 2 put out on a major label, and like their other 2 other Suave House albums (from 1994 & 1995) it's a classic. Of the 8 group albums, this and their "On the Outside Looking In" and "On Top Of The World" are all classics, the other 5 are good as are the majority of the two's solo albums. With only 8 songs it's not the longest album, but all are good or almost classic material. No guests on on this one and the beats are straight Suave House 1990's G-Funk southern style beats that are banging. Each one has 1 solo on here as well. Like always, you get some gangsta and some pimp tales with some very well told stories throughout the album. A must have album from two of the best to do it out of the south.
#2 - 9.5 (Great beat)
#3 - 8 (some tales about Pimpin')
#4 - 9 (nice beat & story line about a robbery)
#5 - 8.5 (nice relaxing beat)
#6 - 9
#7 - 9.5 (Eightball solo -- tight beat)
#8 - 8
#9 - 8 (MJG solo)
EIGHTBALL -- Premro Smith -- b.~1971 -- Memphis, TN
"Eight Ball & MJG iz one of the BEST to come out. The ONLY other duo that you can compare then with may be Run DMC. This Cd along with EVERY OTHER they have made is a must...It NEVA gets removed from the CD playa in tha ride. I'm having trouble locating their CD that have BREAK-A-BYOTCHE COLLEGE on it and LAY IT DOWN...maaannnnnn I'm telling y'all to LOCATE ALL of their Cd's...ALL OF 'EM IZ TIZIGHT!! If anyone out there know the name of that CD or know where I can find it on-line, hit a sista up thru e-mail! Mine got stolen a few years back. Like someone on here said...I keep Eight Ball & MJG's CD's right next to my Bible (and Bone). YA HEARD? Do they have a fan club address? From Eight Ball's #1 fan."
