Living Legends - I did not order this one through Amazon but it is 8 Ball & MJG so, I need to let you know my thoughts. As a die hard 8 Ball & MJG fan, I must say that their past few cd s, prior to this one, were not all that hott but this one is better. I know, they teamed up with P. Diddy on this one so, it s got some good tracks on it. Still commercial but it s better thatn the past few. Anyway, I would suggest it for your collection but it s nothing to really write home about. YMMV. NEOSOUL06
Solid effort from living legends (3 and 1/2 stars) - Eightball and MJG have been giving you great albums since Comin Out Hard so I was always suppotive of them. I was quite skeptical of this release because they signed to Bad Boy but its not half bad. You Dont Want Drama is an instant banger. Straight Cadillac Pimpin feat Shannon Jones is a great follow up release. We Do It, When It s On, Gangsta and Dont Make are vintage Ball & G tracks. Look At The Grillz is cool even though TI and Twista outshined Ball & G on that track. Lloyd shows up on the dynamic Forever. There are some songs that could have been left off. Trying To Get At You and Baby Girl are horrible attempts at songs for the ladies. The Streets feat Bun B is boring. Shot Off with Ludacris sounds well... ludicrous. Bottom Line: Living Legends is a solid release by a group that has been on the top of their game since they first came out. Standout tracks:YOU DONT WANT DRAMA, STRAIGHT CADILLAC PIMPIN, WE DO IT, MEMPHIS CITY BLUES, WHEN ITS ON, FOREVER, LOOK AT THE GRILLZ, DONT MAKE and GANGSTA.
its ok i guess - with puffy i dont think this album could have beenworse,i saw the forever video puffy trying to hide gangbanging!(idiot)but its my favorite song if you really got a good cd system in your ride..DAM! IT BUMPS DOWN THE BLOCKALSO THAT TIMBERLAKE MY LOVE DAM IT BUMPS TOO but anyway itsa keeper,but the language is vulgar as hell though that s da dirty,dirtyfor ya you got to expect that its a diffrent way of life down there
could have been better - ball and mjg are good lyricists lovede them since the first cd but what was they thinking by signing with puffy and bad boy this cd is good but without puff s involvement could have been better screw you puffy or whatever you go by now you just jocking the south cause they re hot right now.
(Living Legends) still breathing today. (2004) - 8 Ball & MJG still bumping against the grain with this Bad Boy South album, and these nigga s still pop off with Living Legendsplus all they re albums have gone platinum and still the most known down south rappers in the game, also cop this album & Almost Famous (2001) in stores now.This album is 4.5 & the artist are 4.8
