03/23: Memphis Commercial Appeal Reviews "Ridin High"
Here is a review of "Ridin High" from
Memphis Commercial Appeal:
The pair also stay true to their favorite themes -- cars, marijuana and sex -- though one imagines there is considerable pressure on them to project a more presentable image for Top 40 radio. (Bad Boy has simultaneously released a "clean version" of Ridin' High that omits some of the raunchier tracks.) But it would be a shame to let priggishness get in the way of enjoying a song like the title track, one of the most infectious 8Ball & MJG have ever produced. Ridin' High may not be as satisfying as Living Legends, and it has some filler. But the handful of tracks that rise above it all are among the best things 8Ball & MJG have done. Long live the new kings of Memphis rap.
