5.0 out of 5 stars Way ahead of its time, July 10, 2000

By	"jmesa30" (Coconut Creek, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This is an underground presentation of Eightball and MJG's pre-Suave House material and it is extremely tight. I could listen to this CD from track 2-14 without even considering skipping a track. It sounds very low-budget, but it is a nice change of pace from all the flashy no substance rap that predominates today. You have to realize that this is Southern rap from '91. If you could find a better Southern album from that time period besides Scarface or Geto Boys, you let me know. The beats and rhymes are way ahead of their time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent release of early Ball & G material - barely 4 stars, June 20, 2006

For starters this isn't really a new Eightball & MJG album, it's mostly songs the 2 recorded in the early 90's and a few of the tracks are on their earlier albums as well. Each of the 2 are on 10 songs, and each member has 3 solo's on here (Eightball's are much better if you ask me). Guests are minimal, on 3 songs (and the re-release of this has 2 solo's by other artists). Of the 15 songs (I'm reviewing the re-release), 2 or 3 I skip, 4 or 5 are ok, 1 is almost a classic, and the other 7 are good. Production is pretty good, a few low spots and no production credits are given. if you're a huge fan cop this, but of the 6 of their group albums I have and 4 solo's, it's in the bottom third.
