Space Age 4 Eva, September 25, 2001
As fans have noticed this latest release from Eightball and MJG is different from anything they have done in the past. A lot of people have said they are disappointed with "Space Age 4 Eva" but what they need to realize is that change is gonna come sooner or later, evolution y'all. Ya, the production is a lot different, some of the beats sound kinda strange at first but I have gotten used to this new sound and the record has grown on me. No, I don't think this is Eighball and MJG's best record but what I have noticed is that MJG has taken his syle to a whole new level. His lines on "Intro" blew me away, same with his closing lines on "Thingz", these rhymes make the whole record worth buying in my opinion, you at least gotta give it a listen, MJG for President! Overall the songs that I like the most on this record are "Intro", "I Know You", "Collard Greens", "Buck Bounce", "Pimp Hard", and "Always". I really like the music to "Always", its just so smooth and different from any other rap song I've heard, this is a tight track. I urge listeners to check this record out for its uniqueness. This was a ballsy move for Eightball and MJG and is an indicator that they are really trying to do something different. Check it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars
4.5 stars from the Memphis duo, September 1, 2005
Off of Suave House, many thought they couldn't bring another tight album, but of the 6 group albums of their's I own this is my 2nd or 3rd favorite. They definitely show why they're one of the top 3 groups ever from the south (with UGK & Geto Boys). Of the 14 songs on here, 1 is a classic, the rest are listenable, most are good or great songs. Guests are minimal, rapping on only 2 songs and doing hooks on 3 so you get a good amount of the Memphis boyz. Production is great as well (other then maybe 2 songs) and like many said it sounds futureistic on some trax. MJG does 4 songs, Corey woodard & Jazze Pha each do 3, and DJ Quik & Swizz Beatz each do 2. A must have for their fans or for people who want to hear some real rappers from the south.
#1 - 9
#2 - 7.5
#3 - 8.5 (f/ Xscape & Jazze Pha -- nice beat)
#4 - 9
#5 - 7.5 (f/ Thorough)
#6 - 6.5 (f/ DJ Quik -- oddly he makes a bad beat too)
#7 - 8.5 (f/ Peachee P -- nice beat)
#8 - 6
#9 - 7.5
#10 - 8.5 (good beat)
#11 - 9 (good beat again)
#12 - 8.5 (a DJ Quik beat like we all know -- very good)
#13 - 8 (f/ Billy Cook)
#14 - 10 (CLASSIC -- great beat from Swizz Beatz)
EIGHTBALL -- Primro Smith -- b. around 1971 -- Memphis, TN
MJG -- Marlon Jermaine Goodwin -- b. 1/9/72 -- Memphis, TN

5.0 out of 5 stars
A true masterpiece from the original Memphis Players, January 31, 2001
Eightball and MJG come correct on Space Age 4eva. Their debut single "Pimp Hard" is one of the best songs out right now, as well as one of Eightball and MJG's greatest cuts. The album shows its diversity combining retrospective tracks such as "Thingz" and "Thank God," with serious head-nodding tracks such as "Buck Bounce" (produced by DJ Quick) and "Jankie." The only slight blunder on this album is the Swiss Beats produced "Boom Boom." It is not the best song in the world, however it can be listened to. I have played this song to many of my college friends from Maryland to California to Atlanta, and they all agree that this album is a classic. It is definitely worth having in anyone's CD collection.
