All Balls Don't Bounce is the debut solo album by Los Angeles rapper Aceyalone. It was released in October 1995 on Capitol Records, and was produced by The Nonce, Punish, Vic Hop, Chillin Villin Empire, Mumbles and Fat Jack. The album followed the break-up of Aceyalone's former group, Freestyle Fellowship, who parted ways after the release of their influential 1993 album Innercity Griots.
Acey's standout performance on Innercity Griots landed him a solo deal with Capitol, but, due to the album's unspectacular sales, the rapper was dropped from the label after releasing only one album. All Balls was left out of print for a number of years, until being re-released on February 24, 2004 on Project Blowed Records. All Balls Don't Bounce Revisited featured a bonus disc with fourteen rare songs, including a number of remixes and previously unreleased tracks.

Famous quotes containing the words balls and/or bounce:
“look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
“Trade and commerce, if they were not made of India-rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and, if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
