Honestly, I am not sure where this came from or what it's background is, but it appears to be at least somewhat official (if only because 8 Ball & MJG did it on their own/for fun/whatever). Check it out.

From BallerStatus.com:
The Memphis, Tennessee duo claim that they were interrogated on their way to the show for no reason at all, something they say has gone on for years. "Yeah, it was some backwards racist b*******," 8 Ball said in a statement released to BallerStatus.com. "They acted like we still in the 60s. The South is my home, but s*** like that will never change. And a lot of the people who were against the show just mad cause they kids, wives and sisters are fans of our music."

Just an update on the video for "Cruizin'": it's slated to be shot April 17-19.
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.
AllHipHop.com has a review of "Ridin High":
If you really enjoy the gritty street sound of 8Ball & MJG, you will enjoy this album. The veteran teams possesses enough lyrical flair and production punch to sway those not too keen on Southern tinged Hip-Hop. Consider Ridin High a trip worth taking.
You can listen to the track at AllHipHop.com.
HipHopDX.com has an interview with 8 Ball & MJG.
HHDX: Ha ha, ok. Where does 8Ball and MJG fit into the overall Bad Boy legacy?
MJG: I don�t think we fit. I think this was just something, cause its really Bad Boy South, Bad Boy South was created when 8Ball and MJG came along, so I guess that kinda speaks for itself that we really not part of the Bad Boy legacy.
8Ball: Yeah I don�t think we fit, because I done read a lot of interviews and uh, they never mention us as part of the roster, you know, we never get mentioned as a part of Bad Boy, you know, unless we mention it. So, I don�t think we fit.
More, huh... who is they?
