▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2000, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ 2001...these are the years that 8 Ball ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ and MJG have released albums. Pretty much ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ consecutively. Undeniably consistently. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Not many rappers can claim that they ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ are about to release their 9th album ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ in a decade, which makes 8 Ball and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ MJG's forthcoming album, Living Legends ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ (Bad Boy Records), a rarity and the title ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ all the more fitting. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ 8 Ball and MJG are rap giants and if the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ South were it's own country, they would be ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ national treasures. For starters, they ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ were the first rap act from Memphis to ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ go platinum and one of the first in ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ the region to attain nationwide ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ success. In their hometown of Memphis, ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ TN, they have successfully accelerated ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ the pace at which rap fans breathe, ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ injecting their faces and trademark ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ style into the veins of America's ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ heartland. The magnitude of their sound is ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ so far reaching it has rocked the block ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ in cities as far North as Brooklyn, NY ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ and as far West as Compton, CA making ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ artists like Mobb Deep and DJ Quick, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Nelly and Ludacris fans for life. In ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ fact, if you ask the average rapper or ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ the average fan, most of them will tell ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ you the same thing: The first Southern ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ rap records that captivated them and ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ changed their lives forever were 8 Ball ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ and MJG. To put it blunt, 8 Ball and MJG ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ are your favorite rap group's favorite ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ rap group. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ 8 Ball puts it this way, "The difference ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ between us and the other groups people ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ would compare us with is that those ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ groups grew up on us," ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ After signing the legends, an Executive at ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Bad Boy explained, "8 Ball and MJG are ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ to down South what Biggie was to New ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ York and what Tupac was to the West ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Coast." Indeed, Living Legends marks ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ the merging of two powerhouses in the ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ industry: Bad Boy Records and 8 Ball and ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ MJG. Both highly visible, both highly ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ respected and both highly imitated in ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ their parts of the world. Living ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Legends, is simply, a landmark album. ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Listening to the album you'll quickly ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ understand that there are Southern ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ anthems and then there's an 8 Ball and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ MJG anthem. The first single, "You Don't ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Want Drama." Is one of them. It's a ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ rambunctious, throw your hands up, party ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ starter with a hook the country will ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ have memorized come springtime. No ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ matter what dance you do in your part of ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ the country, you will want to do it with ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ all your might when doing it to this ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ track. As MJG put it, "It's a get ▐███ ▐█████
