I didn't like Space Age 4 Eva, to me it was disappointing. Maybe the change of production threw me off. T-Mix had that perfect sound for them back at Sauve House, but I thought Living Legends was a much better album than S.A.4.E
Just think fam that album came out in 93, I was 18 and that album was 🔥 I'm from Mississippi. Went to Vallejo California with my family that came for the family Reunion and heard E40 man those were the times

"In our lifetime" you can start that and listen to it from start to finish. They have more of a Midwestern sound in real life as opposed to the Southern sound that you hear on their records.
@HolidayIsHonest No doubt. These two stayed in my playlist. To be real, BAD BOY AND GRAND HUSTLE DID THEM NO JUSTICE. Nore could have asked more in depth about their Suave House run. This coming from a Detroit OG💪🏿🫡
👁 only watched this interview because 8BALL & MJG are my favorite rap duo of all time. 👁 was just having a discussion about them. It was a decent interview.
Close but not quite.... It was at Park and Greer st. It was a four bedroom house converted into a studio. I remember seeing the label artists in the driveway frequently and 8 ball at club Memphis on weekends. For those Who remember Club Memphis was at Park and Pendlton #Memphisvet
@bph5070 actually Gangsta Pat was OTS first artist,then 8 Ball and MJG they went first,truthfully dj squeaky was the best producer in the city,along with dj zirk and dj paul,but for me it all started with dj Spanish Fly
Moreso the exposure to vast of different demographic - wouldn't say mainstream yet more national notice. Therefore people would like it and go to back to their earlier work.
@ U might have a point. It just seems 2 me like his knowledge of them started so late in their career when they actually been putting in work since the early 90’s…
No matter how you view it that Diddy signing was a good look and introduced them to new eyes all across the world,I was not listening them them before Diddy signed them
Eightball and MJG from that south era that East Coast use to hate on, they ain’t have no business fucking with Bad Boy but I guess Scarface doing Def Jam South made it safe for Southerners to work with New York majors.
8Ball was well accepted on the east coast back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. He had so many tracks with east coast artists, it was crazy. They never seemed to extend that love to MJG tho. They were on Mase first album back in 1997. Maybe that’s why they felt comfortable signing with Bad Boy.
Everybody wasn't happy they signed to bad boy. Pac and biggie had just passed. I never thought it was a good move when puff was involved for some reason.
@iTinkThere4iAM that's my point I ain't trippin. The real hype was already gone. All u had was puff to deal with and being from Memphis that never set well
Pac & Biggie both passed in the late 1999s (1996 & 1997). 8Ball & MJG signed with P.Diddy and Bad Boy in the late 2000's, around 2008. Two different time periods, and 8Ball & MJG was only there for album, and bounced lol.
He's so humble and positive that he don't even think not being invited to reunion shows are a negative.. But now it's looking like it was a cleaning lol
I always felt them signing to BB was a bad idea. Just seems as though Puff was riding the south bandwagon and needed to south group. And when you think of it, when labels branch off and do regional extensions like Bad Bad South, Cas Money West , etc that shit never work out!!!
They was on Mase album Harlem World in 1997 when Bad Boy was on fire. He was well aware of them when he could have stayed in his east coast bubble. He did have to share the spotlight somewhat with No Limit that year tho.
@HolidayIsHonest I'm saying ball already had a relationship with Diddy before the group signed. They asked him the question like this was their first time working with bad boy. So to validate my point, yes it was over a decade. 👀
EIGHT BALL & MJG legendary RAP ARTIST DOWN SOUTH RAPPERS go hard 😮😮😮😊 I can remember when they come to MOBILE AL. for the MARDI GRAS FESTIVITIES do y'all remember that EIGHT BALL & MJG I forgot to year I believe it was the mid 90's do y'all remember that at BSCC on the side street never will forget that
I didn’t even know that two of those albums were done when they were on, Bad Boy. I only rock with the, Living Legends, album. The other two, I still to this day, haven’t listened to them. They didn’t fit in there. Ball & G, are their own entity.
They didn’t get the call for the reunion likely because they weren’t apart of the original 1993-1997 cast. Is that really such a bad thing NOW? As far as the Bad Boy South thing, they didn’t have to sign the contract.🤷🏾♂️ I liked Living Legends but I heard from someone I knew that their second album sounded a little too “Bad Boy” for them. When they did that Hickory Dickory Dock song I knew it was time for them to go!!
They 3Albums on Bad Boy? I didn’t know that!💯 They really didn’t have the machine behind them, and Bad Boy wasn’t the right situation for them, that why things turned out the way they did. If Puff would have signed DMX, he wouldn’t have been as big of a star as he was. Same with Drake.
@@Voltronreignssupremebeing like I said, it was a great album. I loved it. I still play it. I just don’t think it’s better than Coming Out Hard or In My Lifetime Vol 1
It’s easy. The east wasn’t meant for the Country Rap Tunes. The Gheto Boys was the same thing when they moved to NYC. Went back to Texas and all was good. That old school east cost wanted a piece of the south but didn’t respect it so how could it make it pop? Come on.
Your info is wrong! Ball and G only did 2 albums on Bad Boy. Space Age 4 Eva was not on Bad Boy. That album came out 4 years before they went with Bad Boy South! Living Legends was there first and it did get them to an audience they never had before! #1 Rap Album! You skipped over it like it didn't matter! It is there best selling album of there career! Did you go to a Ball and G concert when that album dropped? I did! White kids everywhere! That was because of Bad Boy South! Bad Boy got them noticed by the white youth! Thats when you crossover!

On Top of the World is definitely a classic! 🔥
Such an awesome album. One of the best of 95’.
"In our lifetime" you can start that and listen to it from start to finish. They have more of a Midwestern sound in real life as opposed to the Southern sound that you hear on their records.

👁 only watched this interview because 8BALL & MJG are my favorite rap duo of all time. 👁 was just having a discussion about them. It was a decent interview.
Before they signed to Suave, they were with OTS Records in Memphis. The record label and studio was located at Park Ave and Semmes in Orange Mound 🍊
Close but not quite.... It was at Park and Greer st. It was a four bedroom house converted into a studio. I remember seeing the label artists in the driveway frequently and 8 ball at club Memphis on weekends. For those Who remember Club Memphis was at Park and Pendlton #Memphisvet

They didn't need Bad Boy Records.
They're on fire because of themselves
Moreso the exposure to vast of different demographic - wouldn't say mainstream yet more national notice. Therefore people would like it and go to back to their earlier work.
Best rap group of all time "in my opinion"!
Mine 2. Also UGK
“Space Age” was released on Interscope Records not Bad Boy. “Living Legends” was the first Bad Boy album.
And it was the best album in my opinion
@@banksboy6806straight facts it was
I’m from the south but I hate seeing southern rappers on this show. Nore doesn’t really know about southern rappers…
You Right nothing about the South at all
He knows nothing about the South at all
Maybe he’s trying to learn so that’s probably why he interviews Southern rappers!
@ U might have a point. It just seems 2 me like his knowledge of them started so late in their career when they actually been putting in work since the early 90’s…
@@Jerrell_JohnsonI agree with ya man thing is at least he has them on the show.
The best storytellers to tell stories on wax. Period! They are also the best example of when great talent gets abused and not for their benefit.
My Homeboy's Girlfriend was the Best example of 8ball's storytelling skills
Shot out to 8ball and mjg Legends
No matter how you view it that Diddy signing was a good look and introduced them to new eyes all across the world,I was not listening them them before Diddy signed them
You missed 90% of their career then...

@ericlee2988 basically. It took Puff to get his attention. Time to hit that catalog, bro. You missed out.
Feel sorry for you

BEST ALBUM
No more glory is a fuxkin classic . Every joint is 🔥Was listening to this album yesterday, Shine and recline 🔥🔥
That you don’t want drama with Diddy and 8 ball & MJG was 🔥🔥🔥 though. I remember that time like it was yesterday
Mane-everything you stated was and is on

G and ball had word of mouth they was big on every block.
8ball…. The most underrated
Nore is the worst interviewer/ podcaster.
🤣
Him and T.i 😂
He was terrible 😂
He be drunk high and goofy as fuck 😅💨😳🥃
I had to stop watching bc he is Mr. Cut off
MR BIG. Armed robbery
I been waiting on there version of Diddy been waiting
8 ball and MJG have a book in the rap Bible. Two prophets let that sink in for a minute. I'm 48, been around since the start.
SALUTE TO 8BALL & MJG TRU LEGENDS👑🫡🙌🏾🥇✊🏾🎤💙💯

Just passed???
Pac & Biggie both passed in the late 1999s (1996 & 1997).
8Ball & MJG signed with P.Diddy and Bad Boy in the late 2000's, around 2008.
Two different time periods, and 8Ball & MJG was only there for album, and bounced lol.
He's so humble and positive that he don't even think not being invited to reunion shows are a negative.. But now it's looking like it was a cleaning lol
When they got with bad boy south it was a good comeback no cap I played that shit daily 💯
I just saw tony draper from sauve house Records from Houston Texas
I always felt them signing to BB was a bad idea. Just seems as though Puff was riding the south bandwagon and needed to south group. And when you think of it, when labels branch off and do regional extensions like Bad Bad South, Cas Money West , etc that shit never work out!!!
They was on Mase album Harlem World in 1997 when Bad Boy was on fire. He was well aware of them when he could have stayed in his east coast bubble. He did have to share the spotlight somewhat with No Limit that year tho.
So ain't nobody heard "Lyrics of a Pimp".
Every time they come to Dallas I get me a ticket those are my guys 4 life
Ball Speaks some real shit on here
Still hard for me to even look at Nore the same after all that scraping and scrambling 🤣
There was so much more Bad Boy could have done with 8Ball and MJG. I was expecting something that would top Coming out Hard and albums from that time
Living legends
Best song out of orange mound is "low life or none part 2" by Mr. Sche💯
Ball had a whole album years before him and mjg released a group album. "Almost Famous" them guys don't do they research.
Almost famous came out over a decade after 8ball & MJG did as a group fam
@HolidayIsHonest I'm saying ball already had a relationship with Diddy before the group signed. They asked him the question like this was their first time working with bad boy. So to validate my point, yes it was over a decade. 👀
