"This album is terrible. 8ball and mjg are legends but this album sounds like it was rushed. There are only a couple of decent tracks and I just wanna know how are you gonna put soulja boy on your album? He's garbage. Don't waste your money. Listen to their classics!"

"8Ball & MJG, memphis legends, effectively rebound from the disappointment that was Ridin High. That album, while having a few bangers, represented a departure from the type of music that made the popular in the first place.
With a new label situation on Grand Hustle where they more than likely weren't negatively influenced by management (Diddy has done many great things but he mishandled this group), they return to a more soulful laid back sound reminiscent of their heyday. 8Ball & MJG's flows and styles perfectly compliment each other and coupled with production that fits them and lets their styles and voices come through this album proves to be a welcome treat for fans of the group and new fans alike.
Guests include T.I., Young Dro, Lil Boosie, Slim Thug, Bun B, and Soulja Boy and production is nicely handled by Nitti, David Banner, Drumma Boy and in house Grand Hustle producers Nard & B amongst others.
The group brings back their reflective style on this album and shines through most on Life Goes On ft. Slim Thug which proves to be an instant classic and one of Ball & G's best songs yet. On what could only be described as country rap tunes (via Pimp C) the three rappers easily coast through life's situations all the while dropping knowledge, staying true and remaining honest. Slim Thug gives one of the best verses I've heard from him. In all honesty this is the type of music that shaped our foundation in the south. Other country rap tunes include Still Will Remain, Billy Truth Be Told, and Right Now.
If 8Ball & MJG is in your lane then I advise you to pick this one up if you haven't already. 8Ball & MJG prove that they never lost it they just needed some better direction. The Memphis Legends are back! 4 stars."
