    Pros: Great Rhymes

    Cons: Beats went to bed on this one.

    This relase in 97 is different to the others. Its great with rhymes but the beats were really underground rather than playa style or Space Age. Its still got great stuff in it but it seems like they recorded this back in the 80's in thier garage.

  • All Music Guide

    Before Eightball MJG debuted nationally with Comin' out Hard on Suave House in 1993, the duo released a number of underground recordings, many of which were later compiled on Lyrics of a Pimp in 1997. Of particular note here is Eightball MJG's first big hit, "Listen to the Lyrics," as well as the early version of "Armed Robbery," their later hit. The sound quality here is obviously lo-fi, as independent recordings were still a rare occurrence at the time, particularly in the South, yet the historical nature of these recordings should interest die-hard fans curious about the duo's humble beginnings.

8Ball & MJG

Eightball MJG may have never made a significant impact nationally during their rise to fame in the 1990s, yet they indeed made an incredible impact throughout the South, where the Memphis-bred duo pioneered what countless Dirty South rappers would emulate years later. The two began on the Southern underground circuit, where they peddled their tapes in such major market... Read more
