Title: 8Ball & MJG sign to Grand Hustle? (Somewhat confirmed)
Post by: Lunatic on June 10, 2008, 12:00:16 PM
That's the rumor going around - apparently (i saw apparently because i didnt hear it myself) Alfa Mega and Greg Street confirmed it on the radio. If that's true, great fuckin news and grand hustle easily has one of the best lineups as a sub-label owned by an artist.

T.I.
8Ball & MJG
Young Dro
BOB (got a lotta buzz, just signed)
Alfa Mega
Big Kuntry
Mac Boney (probably wont ever drop an album, but man is dude under rated)
DJ Drama
Yung LA (makin noise with "aint i")
JR Get Money

Ok, let me analyze these artists real quick...

T.I. -> must have good production to make a good song
8Ball & MJG -> veterans... I wouldn't buy an album of them, but they're alright
Young Dro -> WACK
BOB -> I haven't heard too much of him, but the songs that I did hear are alright
Alfa Mega -> WACK
Big Kuntry -> not as bad as Alfa Mega, but still WACK
Mac Boney -> never heard of him
DJ Drama -> not as bad as DJ Khaled
Yung LA -> never heard of him
JR Get Money -> never heard of him

BG is not technically signed to grand hustle but closely affiliates with them, has grand hustle handle some of his duties (promotional wise and tour shows) but isn't signed to a formal contract with them (also good friends with TI, TI exec. prod. his album)

TI has put out 5 cd's - dro, in da streets 4, dj drama, governor and psc

yeah governor did go under the radar, but he did have a single with a video out - just didnt catch on i guess.

the album is pretty decent, powerful r&b voice.

^yea for real, livin legends is a personal classic but that "ridin high" was TRASH :-X

Post by: Blood$ on June 11, 2008, 12:45:35 PM
yeah Living Legends was dope but on Ridin' High I can only fuck with "Relax & Take Notes", "Ridin' High", "Turn Up The Bump", "Cruzin'", "Watchu Gonna Do", "Runnin' Out Of Bud", "Clap On", and "Pimpin' Don't Fail Me Now"

Ridin High was aight, but not marketed to the die hard MJG/8Ball fan. Hell now that I think about it, it was not marketed at all. The beats really did not fit them.

i didnt htink ridin high was that bad. it had a few missteps but if you combine the best of their two bad boy albums you get a near classic
Title: Re: 8Ball & MJG sign to Grand Hustle? (Somewhat confirmed)
Post by: Lunatic on June 11, 2008, 05:14:27 PM
yea ridin high wasnt marketed at all and definitely wasnt really meant for the hardcore ball & g fans like myself.

Totally agree. But "Relax and take notes", "Turn up the bump" and "Watchu gonna do" are all bangers.  8)
