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.

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.

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.

With the likes of Outkast, Cash Money, and Nappy Roots getting the majority of southern hip-hop's air-play, the duo innovators better known as Eightball and MJG, seem to be having trouble getting the respect they surely deserve. Space Age 4 Eva is a true work of art minus a couple of tracks and should have been a platinum album. The only problem is, it isn't the year 2015 yet. Two incredible emcees incredibly ahead of their time.

For all the true eightball/mjg fans this is the best album that big ball and the marvelous mjg has laid down. Hey I've got to admit Volume 1. In Our Lifetime was da bomb but, Space Age 4 Ever is the masterpiece! The lyrics are deep and understanding the concept of the poetry takes some understanding from a pimp perspective. I can guarantee that this is the realist CD I've brought since Volume 1. In our Lifetime. This is a CD where you can just pop in the ride and enjoy the real life issues from the new pimps of the year 2000. Keep it real for all my dogs in the "belly of the beast."

I'm very confused. Rap has turned to garbage in the blinking of an eye. I got all Suave House c.d.'s and this ain't the Eightball and MJG I know. It's only about 4 tight cuts on here. The rest of them are garbarge. The title of the Album is one of the worst songs on here. I don't know why they got Swizz Beatz to touch this album but he didn't do it any justice. His beats sound just like every thing else he does except worse. DJ Quik produced a couple of cuts on here to but there just as worse. The chores on just about all the songs are tired and plain. This album is to damn slow and soft! It's not a single song on this album to get you hype like Coming Out Hard and On Top of the World. Even the lyrics are boring. I don't know what happened between them and T-Money but they need to hook back up with him quick, before its to late. I feel like I'm in a contract. I have all there albums so I gotta keep buying them. If you decide to buy one of there albums for the first time, don't buy this one! Garbage! First Jay-z's last album, Wu-tang's last album, and now this. Makes me want to break my foot off in somebody!

Space Age 4 Eva proved Again that Eightball & MJG are the innovators, not the imitators! Eightball & MJG give expressive Space Aged lyrics that flow from Tennessee. With explosive Beats and intensive rhymes they are making a historical landmark in our hip-hop culture, don't miss out!!!

You can never say enough about Eightball and MJG - those guys are legends and to me, they're the greatest duo ever. They've been putting it down for the Dirty South ever since the early 90's, and they're the first ones from the South to rap about pimpin', and gettin' crunk. "Space Age 4 Eva" is their fifth album. This time, the guys left Tony Draper's Suave Records (financial disputes), and put this record out on JCor Entertainment, with themselves being the executive producers. Their previous four albums were all classics, and that doesn't change on this one. It seems that 8Ball and MJG never quit to take their style musically to a new level, and on "Space Age 4 Eva" they do it once again, coming out with a fresh, new, futuristic style, which is yet not that different from what they did till then. T-Mixx is gone, but the album's production is a masterpiece, plain and simple. The 14 songs are handled by 5 producers: Veteran Memphis producer Jazze Pha (3 songs), Corey Woodard (3 songs), MJG (he produced a lot of the songs on previous albums, and proves again he's one of the best producers out there as well)... On this album, Ball and G take their game nationwide, using two of the best producers from the East (Swizz Beatz) and the West (DJ Quik): Each does a couple of awesome songs. The sound is rich, musical and very diverse. As far as eightball and MJG's rapping, I don't have to tell you, but I still will. Those two are just untouchable on the mic: the CHARISMA (something nowdays rappers lack so badly!), the lyrical skills, being down-to-earth, the REALNESS. The two are very different: Eighball is a bit more laid back, and he's more of a story teller, his style is more narrative, and his raspy deep bass voice and sick flow are VERY addictive. MJG is more energetic, quicker, louder and a bit more lyrical. When you listen to 'Ball and MJG, their experience in the game shows; the lyrics are polished and flows are silky smooth. The subject matter is proto-typically Southern: big-ballin, high-gloss flossin, sexin and money makin - but the difference is that they damn near INVENTED the genre from their neck of the woods.You might not hear much in the way of spiritual s**t other than the closers "It's All Real" and "Thank God" but Eightball and MJG have one quality that I personally find refreshing - gunplay is occasionally mentioned but they aren't obsessed with their tools or bragging and glorifying about everyone they shot. In fact, their attitude seems to be "We have better things to do like eat well, drink good, make love and raise our kids." That's real game - you don't have to brag about being unfu**kwittable, you just handle your own. If you're handling yours and you like REAL (pimp) TYTE Southern rap, then this is the album for you.
