 (64 Customer Reviews)
Though unlikely, the marriage of Dirty South forefathers Eightball & MJG and Bad Boy Records--including its resident impresario/superstar P. Diddy--is undeniably appealing. It's intriguing to see what one of the most successful NYC producers can do for a pair whose influence is woefully underestimated outside the South. If there's any shift from the gritty, distinctly Southern sound the duo has embodied in the past, it's imperceptible. Outside of P. Diddy's occasional interjected reminders that LIVING LEGENDS is a Bad Boy production, and the welcome smooth-R&B presence of 112 on the brilliantly funky "Trying to Get At You," the record appears to be largely on Eightball & MJG's own terms.
Despite a three-year absence, the Memphis duo, who have traded rhymes since childhood, play off each other effortlessly. On tracks such as "When It's On," the twosome finish each other's thoughts like a lyrical relay team. Most of the record is packed with unyielding fury, making the final track, the ethereal and jazzy "Confessions," all the more starkly beautiful for its wistful reflection.

Living Legends album
 $10.79  
While the RZA is the Wu-Tang Clan's beat-driver and Ol' Dirty Bastard garners the most attention with his high-profile dementia, Method Man is arguably the group's fulcrum. One of the collective's first hits was entitled "Method Man," and he was the first to bust out of the solo gates with the hugely successful TICAL in 1994. Blessed with his signature gruff voice and a twisted lyrical prowess, Method Man has consistently released his particular brand of madness with a proficient calculation befitting his name.
As with the Ghostface record released in early 2004, TICAL 0: THE PREQUEL contains fewer hints than usual of the distinctive Wu world. RZA introduces the record, Ghostface and Raekwon drop by for one track apiece, but that's about the sum of Wu representation on the album. Method's rapping/acting partner Redman pops up for one track, the instant classic "We ...

Living Legends songs
$7.69 
Nas once said "I got so many rhymes, I don't think I'm too sane," a line which could also refer to the similarly prolific young rapper known as Lil' Flip, who, in early 2004, unleashed an ambitious, wonderfully schizophrenic double-disc set, U GOTTA FEEL ME, his third solo record. Lil' Flip garnered his rep by flowing without a net, earning himself the nickname "The Freestyle King" in his hometown of Houston, Texas. His brash style also brought him to the attention of the legendary DJ Screw, who took him into the Screwed Up Click before he embarked on a solo career.
Lil' Flip starts strong with the thriller-movie music of "I Came to Bring the Pain," featuring an outstanding guest shot by the king of guest shots, Ludacris. Flip shows an immense diversity, waxing introspective and reverent on the sweetly 1980s-style "Sun ...

| | Earth Opera Great American Eagle Tragedy CD (1969)
Living Legends album
$9.69 
If Earth Opera's self-titled debut album reflected the eclectic, ambitious pop styles of the Flower Power, Sgt. Pepper era of 1967, the group's follow-up, The Great American Eagle Tragedy, took into consideration the changed musical climate of 1968, when arrangements became more stripped down and hard rocking, with country-rock beginning to make inroads. The departure of bandmember Bill Stevenson, along with his harpsichord and vibraphone, may have hastened the group's transition to a simpler sound, too. But from the first note, the second album was very different from the first. Earth Opera sounded like it had been made by a studio band that had never played out, but the country-rock opener of The Great American Eagle Tragedy, "Home to You," paced by the pedal steel guitar of guest Bill Keith, was a road song in subject matter and feel, played by a band that sounded like it had spent some time before paying customers. "Mad Lydia's Waltz," the second track, sounded more like the group that had made Earth Opera, but the sound was still more rooted in stringed instruments and steady beats than it ...

A person of great depth, Tom Strong is a man who has known great suffering in his life. His songs reflect this and speak of his development as a bard, brought about by his love for a beautiful woman. His use of unusual timing and frequent ‘gear shifts’ in his songs make for a very ‘different’ repertoire which reflect his moods and ...
