Big' was still that song, and Eightball, the rounder half of the group, still an inspiration. Even after he got his driver's license, ' Mr. Just, 'Woo!' You didn't want to get out the car,' says Drumma Boy, a producer born and raised in Memphis, who was 11 when Comin' Out Hard dropped. 'I remember popping it into my Oldsmobile - I had a '83 Cutlass Oldsmobile - and we just hit the block, hit the mall and we just went everywhere. I left it there, because I was in the city to talk to the men who put a drop-top Lexus coupe on the front and back covers of their first CD and to the people who kept it in their CD players for years. When I got into my rental car at the Memphis Airport, the bass on the stereo was at +9. Last year, right around the 20th anniversary of the first of those records, Comin' Out Hard, I went to the birthplace of both Stax and Sun Records to hear the story of Premro Smith and Marlon Jermaine Goodwin, better known as Eightball and MJG. A pair of young rapper-producers from Memphis straddled the tonal shift, and you can hear, on the two albums they released between the summer of '93 and the spring of '94, the unease of an industry flooded with money just as regional markets were wolfing down less commercial, grittier records. In 1993, the wild success of cinematic albums like The Chronic and Doggystyle had shown corporate America just how large the appetite for rap was, but the next wave of musicians had something more serious in mind. Two decades ago the essence of adolescence was leaving hip-hop.
