3.0 out of 5 stars Eightball- Almost Famous, January 19, 2004

By	Constant (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Eightball's second solo album "Almost Famous" (2001) is a good release. For years Eightball and MJG have being dropping slept on albums, so it does not surprise me that this is yet another one. Running in at fifteen tracks, appearances come from MJG, Carl Thomas, Koncrete Kite, Dorasel, Ludacris and P.Diddy. Eightball lays down a story of day by survival on the powerful opening track "Thorn", does a Rap/R & B collabo for the ladies with singer Carl Thomas on "Holla Back", talks about heaven and hell on "Live This" and addresses how business can effect his family situations on "Daddy". 8Ball goes deep when talking about the game, losing friends and delivering the message that things can get better on "4U". Eightball reps himself on the laidback "Slab Rider", and MJG drops in for "Do You Really". My favourite track on this one is the fastpaced "Stripes" a track which Eightball lyrically rips up, backed by a memorable beat. Thugged out "Don't 4get" closes things off. While I dont feel every track on this release, I liked a number and recommend "Almost Famous" for people who new to Eightball and longtime fans. 3.5.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd solo is a decent one, September 1, 2005

Eightball is back with his 2nd solo 3 years after his almost classic double disc "Lost". Not his best solo album, I hav eit at barely a 4 star album. You get what you excpect and have known 8ball to deliver for the past 10 years, nothing new but still solid. Packed with 15 songs, 1 is a classic, 2 I skip, 6 are ok, and the other 5 are good. Guests are rapping on about half the songs. Prodcuction is decent as well. Nitti does 7 songs, Corey Woodard does 5, Corline 6000 & DeWayne Martin do 2 and OOmp Camp does 1. A good album for his fans to pick up but still not his best work to date.
