The two shared a passion for hip-hop, which hadn't yet made a strong impact in the South, and formed their own rap duo, 8Ball & MJG. They made their recording debut in 1991 with a three-track single, Listen to the Lyrics, released on cassette and 12" vinyl by On the Strength Records, an independent label. (These early recordings for On the Strength would later be reissued in 1997 as Lyrics of a Pimp and also in 2000 as Memphis Under World.) 8Ball & MJG subsequently signed a deal with Suave Records (aka Suave House), a Houston, TX-based label run by Tony Draper. 8Ball & MJG's debut full-length, Comin' Out Hard (1993), produced partly by MJG, was the inaugural release by Suave, which would grow to become one of the premier Southern rap labels of the decade. Now considered a milestone, Comin' Out Hard was among the first Southern rap albums to get widespread recognition, opening the door for other pioneers such as Three 6 Mafia, Master P, and Cash Money Records.
8Ball & MJG recorded a few additional albums for Tony Draper throughout the remainder of the decade -- On the Outside Looking In (1994), On Top of the World (1995), In Our Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1999) -- and did much to foster the growth of Suave, regularly being featured as guests on the label's other releases. Plus, 8Ball and MJG each branched out for solo projects, Lost (1998) and No More Glory (1997), respectively, both released by Suave. In 2000, 8Ball & MJG left Suave and switched to JCOR Entertainment, a short-lived rap label founded by Jay Faires, for the release of Space Age 4 Eva. The album, which notably featured production by Swizz Beatz and DJ Quik, was a departure for 8Ball & MJG, who heretofore had worked more or less exclusively with regional producers. The album spawned a pair of minor hits, "Pimp Hard" and "Buck Bounce," the duo's first to first to get national, opposed to regional, airplay. In 2001, JCOR released a pair of 8Ball albums -- The Slab, a various-artists compilation, and Almost Famous, a proper solo album -- but the label then ran into trouble and went out of business, leaving 8Ball & MJG without a recording contract.
After a couple years in limbo, Bad Boy Records, helmed by Diddy, picked up 8Ball & MJG and released Living Legends (2004), the duo's most star-studded album to date. "You Don't Want Drama," the lead single, became 8Ball & MJG's biggest hit ever, reaching number 30 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart, while Living Legends itself likewise became the duo's best-selling, debuting at number three on the Top 200 album chart and topping 500,000 in sales. 8Ball & MJG's second Bad Boy album, Ridin High (2007), was less successful, though, despite debuting well at number eight and spawning a strong lead single, "Relax and Take Notes."
Ball & MJG are now signed to T.I.s Grand Hustle lable.
MJG has released 2 solo Albums in 2008 titled Pimp Tight & This Might Be The Day.

[Chorus 2X:]
Don't flex baby
I want to see you toucha toes in that dress baby
Bounce it up and down like we having sex baby
Give me the head and you can give them tricks the rest baby
And nuthin less baby
Eightball let me grip the mic and rip the track
Freaky hoes let me see you shaking what you got
Trick niggas buy them hoes a drank to keep em cool
And I'm gone be with them niggas drinking yak ackin a fool
Fulla hay fuck security 'cause we don't give a fuck
At the bar drinking shots looking at them hoes strut
Up and down side to side for a nigga like a foe
Young hoes at the club ready to pack they shit and go
Don't trip baby
After the club you can jump off in my whip baby
And let a nigga get a sample of them lips baby
And we gone keep it on the hush
You can hit me on the hip but don't be blowin a nigga up
9 11 all the time damn tell me what you need
Hold on let me click over MJ what you see

Were bout to leave a hump off in yo couch mayn
One look at this bitcha make yo mouth hang open

Shake it baby til your G-strang break loose

She's a cover girl under bed cover fuck yo red brother
And yo black brother and yo dead brother she ain't scared brother
Big thick juicy body molaty
Got mo butt than she got body
She's a go-getter pro switch hitter
But only in the dark
So parking lot competition is hard

And if I stay around ain't cause I'm waiting (Uhn)
Now get along girl get bout your straighten
[Chorus 2X]
(Eightball)
We make it hot

Big balling G slanging Suave House product
In the lab like a chemist cooking weighing up and cutting
Trinity to the MPC making dope pushing buttons

Them country ATL boys
Got it locked up and sewed up and keep it rocked up
Glocked up
Doing the southside like Lil Key Key
Tricks talking shit gone see my hollow tips in 3D
But we didn't come to see no jealous ass niggas
We came to keep the party hype and drank up all the liquor
And fuck with the gold diggers them free drink sippers
Cause them gone be the ones in the room pulling zippers
With they teeth mind blow by the presidential suite
Waking up talking bout they want to go and eat
Hit the dho baby
You ain't got to go home but yo ass got to go baby
And that for sho baby
[Chorus 2X]
(MJG)
I saw yo naked ass
Peekin out the curtain of yo mini shirt
Shadow of yo pussy close behind
Telling me MJG
Run with me through fields of flowers
We can fuck for hours
Come and she you anytime
You say no
How you gone say that when you dress say yes
A saddle on yo chest I expect nothing less
Than nuts on yo neck dick on yo chin
Just like we done then last time lets do it again
It looks as if to me you got some handles bout yourself
But everything you struggle to reach is up on the shelf
In homes of pimps who done done it
Some play around with your mind we run it
Gin sippers Orange Mound, Tennessee nigga
We deliver all up and down the Mississippi river
Fuck a check bitch
No ID no income and dividends
Ain't got nothing but space now fill it in
[Chorus 3X]

Were bout to leave a hump off in yo couch mayn
We are about to have sex on your couch
One look at this bitcha make yo mouth hang open
This girl is so attractive that your mouth will drop open at the sight of her
Freak what you looking at
Stop staring so much
A true pimp I seen it in her camp
I know a real pimp when I see one and she has that vibe
Full time party lifer dance floora
She is always partying and dancing on the floor
Dopeman's bitch average club goer
She is a regular girl who hangs out at the club with drug dealers
Shake it baby til your G-strang break loose
Keep shaking your body until your G-string falls off
I'm watchin now gone make them hoes hate you
I am watching you and you will make the other girls jealous

And yo black brother and yo dead brother she ain't scared brother
She is not afraid to sleep with anyone, not even dead people or your own family members
Big thick juicy body molaty
She has a big, thick, attractive body
Got mo butt than she got body
She has a bigger butt than body
She's a go-getter pro switch hitter
She is willing to do anything and everything in bed
But only in the dark
But only under the cover of darkness
So parking lot competition is hard
It is difficult to compete with her for attention in the parking lot
I ain't chasing
I am not going to chase after her
And if I stay around ain't cause I'm waiting (Uhn)
And if I stick around, it is not because I am waiting for her
We make it hot
We are making things exciting
We came to make it hotta than Nevada
We came to make it even hotter than Nevada
Big balling G slanging Suave House product

We are using our equipment to make great music
Organized Noise
Our music production team is expertly organized
Them country ATL boys

Got it locked up and sewed up and keep it rocked up

Doing the southside like Lil Key Key
We are dominating the southern side of the city
Tricks talking shit gone see my hollow tips in 3D
Guys who talk too much will see the bullets from my gun in 3D
We came to keep the party hype and drank up all the liquor
We came to keep the party going and drink as much alcohol as we can
And fuck with the gold diggers them free drink sippers
And we will flirt with the girls who are only interested in money and getting free drinks
Cause them gone be the ones in the room pulling zippers
Because they will be the ones having sex with us
With they teeth mind blow by the presidential suite
Using their oral skills to impress us so we will take them to the best hotel suite
Waking up talking bout they want to go and eat
Waking up the next day and wanting to go out to eat
Hit the dho baby
Leave the place, baby
You ain't got to go home but yo ass got to go baby
You can't stay here, but you don't have to go all the way home
And that for sho baby
And that's definite, baby
I saw yo naked ass
I saw a glimpse of your naked body
Peekin out the curtain of yo mini shirt
Through the opening of your short skirt
Shadow of yo pussy close behind
I can almost see your vagina
Telling me MJG
Confirming to me that you are attracted to me
Run with me through fields of flowers
Join me on a romantic adventure
We can fuck for hours
We can have extended periods of sexual activity
Come and she you anytime
You can call me any time for sex
You say no
If you say no
How you gone say that when you dress say yes
How can you say no when your revealing dress suggests yes
A saddle on yo chest I expect nothing less
I expect you to have large breasts
Than nuts on yo neck dick on yo chin
I expect to ejaculate on your neck and mouth
Just like we done then last time lets do it again
Let's have sex again like we did last time
It looks as if to me you got some handles bout yourself
It seems like you are confident in yourself
But everything you struggle to reach is up on the shelf
You have trouble reaching things that are too high up
In homes of pimps who done done it
In the homes of experienced pimps
Some play around with your mind we run it
Some people try to manipulate you, but we are in control
Gin sippers Orange Mound, Tennessee nigga
We are from Orange Mound, Tennessee and enjoy drinking gin
We deliver all up and down the Mississippi river
Our music is popular all along the Mississippi river
Fuck a check bitch
We do not care about how much money we make
No ID no income and dividends
We do not have identification, income or profits
Ain't got nothing but space now fill it in
We have nothing, but now we have an opportunity to succeed

Repeat the chorus three times
