Whats the better album
Both are very similar in terms of production, content, time period, the fact they're both duos etc.
Both are probably classics as well. Ima give my take later
Standouts on both:
UGK : One Day,
Murder, Diamonds and Wood, 3 in the mornin, Ridin Dirty,
8ball &MJG:
Space Age Pimpin, Hand of the Devil, For real, On Top of the World, Friend or Foe
I don't know how you can put these albums up against each other..if I had to choose I'd say "ridin dirty" because that is ugk's opus. with no support from jive, they still managed to hold the south down, the old fashioned way..I don't think on top of the world was ball & g's best album, I'll give that to " on the outside looking' in". a better question might have been which is better, "murder" or "lay it down"? I like many other supporters can recite each word for word. altho ball & g's 3rd album had big name features and polished production compared to their previous efforts [favorite songs: pimp in my own rhyme, kick that shyt,top of the world and space age pimpin'] "on the outside looking in" had the energy flowing thru out the whole disc..and only one feature, mc breed [r.i.p.] on sesshead funk junky. every track was nice...much like "riding dirty" was to me.altho starting the album off with "one day" kind of threw me, the molotov cocktail of pimp c and no joe on production was a killer..a true concept album. if I had to pick favorites they would be murder, diamonds & wood, good stuff, 3 in the morning
in my opinion, these are 2 southern rap legends and 2 MUST HAVE albums in your collection.
