"They call me Mr. Big, but NOT because of my SIZE!".......2007-07-30

In 1993, Eightball & MJG put Memphis on the hip hop map with their debut "Comin' Out Hard," which would inspire a generation of rap acts from their city and region. This album exerted a lot of influence over the 90s southern hip hop movement, from the lyrical subject matter to the production style to the glitzy album cover. "Comin' Out Hard" is pure and simple gangsta rap, and it's very well-done and entertaining. Eightball & MJG don't stray too far from the tried-and-true formula on the mic; they rap about crime, pimping, cars, women, and guns in a typical braggadocio style, but their style sets them apart from the myriad of gangsta rap imitators from this period. For one thing, they have some great flows, and their aggressive, quick deliveries are fun to listen to. And while they weren't yet as clever lyrically as they would be later on in their careers, they drop some great lines over the course of the album. The production has a great feel to it. Although the beats are very lo-fi, it provides a suitable backdrop for their tales. With raw drum patterns and rumbling bass, some scattered sampling and instrumental breaks, the production is entertaining without being overbearing. As Eightball & MJG's careers progressed and their Suave House label grew into a southern powerhouse, this album began to amass a legendary status, and while I think it may be just a tad overrated, it's definitely a great listen. There's no guest appearances, it's pure and unadulterated. Their raps are a little ordinary and redundant at times, but not too much to take away from the overall product too much. It's a little short at only eight songs, but the songs are all lengthy so it doesn't leave you gasping for more.

Following a very odd and slightly disturbing intro, the album begins with "9 Little Millimeta Boys." This song starts a little slow, but once the heavy horns, bass grooves, and slick flows kick in, this song's a winner. "The First Episode" is one of the weaker tracks on the album, but the production and rhymes are still solid. On "Armed Robbery," Ball and G tell some very entertaining tales of crime and getaway, over a beat inspired by "Mission Impossible." Pimping is the only matter at hand on the tellingly titled "Pimps," which has some slow and smooth production over almost seven minutes of running time. My favorite song is the title track, which has the nicest production on the disc. The funky, soulful chorus is excellent, and the rhymes are nice too. "Mr. Big" is simple but quite appealing, with a laidback feel and a great hook ("They call me Mr. Big, but not because of my size..."). The good "N...s Like Us" and "Pimps in the House" round out the tracklist.

Although some might tell you otherwise, "Comin' Out Hard" is not quite on the level of southern classics like Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, Soul Food, or Ridin' Dirty, but for those listeners who already own and love those albums, this is certainly one for your collection. This is entertaining, fun, and enjoyable gangsta rap with good performance and slick production. I recommend Eightball & MJG's "Comin' Out Hard."

southern classic-no skips baby.......2007-06-28

this is the album that has inspired most of the new generation in the south.a flawless self produced album(8-ball and mjg did all the beats).this is eightball and mjg in their memphis pimpin,buck and gangsta walk elements.no holds barred lyrics excellent beats and very entertaining songs.the c.d has 9 tracks but with the length of each song it still works out to about an hour.evey true hip-hop head should have this album in their collection.see where three-six got some of their ideas and see where crunk comes from.you will also notice that they were masters of "soul samples" way before it became kanye west's"style".they were also pioneers with the album cover,being the first to use pen and ixel graphix.the cover is very symbolic because you really feel like you're a passenger as you listen to the c.d.my personal favorites:"armed robbery";"coming out hard";and "mr.big"

Came out over 10 years ago and Still Hard!.......2007-06-17

I heard this cd when it first came out in 1993 and I picked it up on cassette. Since then cassettes have phased out but "The Fat Mack" and MJG have not. I'm here to pick this classic up and I'm gonna rock it like it just came out. Mr. Big is the best cut on here (in my opinion) backed up by PIMPS. If your from the south, or at least like this type of music, then it's a must to have in your collection. Happy shopping and don't pass this one up! NEOSOUL06

The Title Is Self-Explanatory!.......2007-04-23

It is easy to see where the south got the crunk from; this album is it. Unfortunately, the sub-genre has gotten too much mainstream attention nowdays and has sold out. I like crunk from back then; the crunk out now rarely if at all impreses me. This may be the original crunk album. Listen to the beats, a mix of crunk, bounce, rattle and G-Funk often all in the same songs. Eightball and MJG kill the mic in each track with relentless flows. They rap with such a force and hunger; they are hard core here. "9 Little Millimeta Boys" and "The First Episode" are grimy and the beats rattle on with some dope medley samples. "Pimps" is smooth with a laidback G-Funk melody. "Comin Out Hard" has another soulful G-Funk beat and slick gangster flows by both with some background horns. The sound quality is low due to the album being older (from 1993), but the old Suave House team definitely brought the ruckus, and Eightball and MJG produced their own music here. Great old school beats and angry rhymes, albums are simply not made like this anymore. These guys are legends, and this is where it all started!

Takes me back.......2007-04-06

I don't listen to this type of music anymore (I'm 30), but I loved it when I was 15 or 16 years old.
