it's bad boy south, niggas! the moment you've all been waiting for! the same fat buzzing southern thing as everything else but not doing anything serious, just being stirred around in circles with the bass, clapping things floating at the top, puff talking at the beginning and the end and a bit in the middle. 8ball is fat and commanding and, unless you see the video, mjg is almost not there, one quick verse and a bit on the hook and his long gold teeth-- unless i have them mixed up.

the omnipresent synthesizer riff is nice, it's very 16 bit video game, never stops like the keys are stuck. i think i could play the riff, which makes me like it all the more. 8 ball is not bad at all, it's not *about* anything but rolling out some rhymes, but that's ok. he has enough presence to fill up what the track doesn't provide.

puff sadly is back to doing that "yeh, yeh" thing that makes him sound like butthead. he should just show up at the beginning to say "bad boy south" and leave the rest alone.

didn't they appear on puff's last lp?

south trick i want to see borrowed by other regions immediately: 2-5 people saying "yeah" offset just slightly at the beginning of the track, preferably all in their differing natural registers. a few people full-on shouting it would help too!

they've been down with badboy for a minute (they were on harlem world!) and signed for about three years, i think. this is the first time i've heard of bad boy south.

I love Bad Boy and 8Ball & MJG, but this song is fucking gash.

8ball and MJG are southern legends and deserve big ups for what they do, but as far as Bad Boy South, it's just a Marketing scheme by Diddy to move more units, because it appears that in order to make a hit record today you have to come to the south so you add the word "South" to almost anything and its gonna move....And I'm not just saying that because I'm from the south because we all no its the truth ....big Ups DUVAL COUNTY

the way the end of the video segues into another song with a similiar beat, "Don't Make", is awesome.

they've been down with badboy for a minute (they were on harlem world!)

8Ball & MJG are headed to their third record label. T.I. announced the veteran group was signing with his Grand Hustle label during his Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash on Saturday. While 8Ball & MJG have always enjoyed critical acclaim, the group only saw moderate commercial success after leaving Suave House for Bad Boy in 2004. Their Bad Boy debut, Living Legends spawned the single "You Don't Want Drama," which eventually reached number 22 on Billboard Magazine's list of Hot Rap Tracks. Ridin High followed in 2007 to little fanfare, and talks of the duo leaving Bad Boy began. In addition to their own independent works, the group also had a greatest hits album released through Koch.

Working with T.I. should be familiar territory for 8Ball & MJG, as they have collaborated on Living Legends' "Look at the Grillz" and "Bezzle" off of T.I.'s Trap Muzik album. Both Bad Boy and Grand Hustle are subsidiaries of the Warner Music Group.
