Can we have a serious convo about Three 6 Mafia being one of the most innovative groups of all time

[Monoblock]

Pimp C even said it in the infamous radio interview where he was going at ATL for not giving props to Three Six that pretty much birthed their style amongst other things. I know it got lost in his overall message but he was on point. DJ Zirk and DJ Squeeky were an influence too.

you really gone say that with Rocky in your avi, like he dont come from that tree?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

They pretty much birthed the crunk and trap sounds

 

[JustCKing]

They didn't exactly birth the ATL sound. Early ATL sounds nothing like Three Six. Early ATL was Miami Bass inspired/influenced. When OutKast debuted with Southernplayalistic, it had more of a G-Funk vibe sonically. Memphis did influence OutKast via Eightball & MJG. There's also Jermaine Dupri, Dallas Austin, and other artists and producers in ATL that didn't have a Three Six influence.

Crunk is more so a direct Three Six influence and the usage of the triplet flow. Trap has more Memphis influences than just Three Six. There's Eightball & MJG as well. There's also influence from the N.O. (Master P) and Texas (UGK).

Rocky comes from that tree, of course.

He just did it better

 

[SoulController]

their drum patterns and sampling sources/techniques were so ahead of their time

and the early shyt, the 94-98 stuff

 

[theskeep]

In retrospect, they benefitted so much from existing in their own little vaccuum of the south. Nowadays, that doesn't happen and won't happen anymore because of the internet. Unfortunately :/

My post from a similar thread in April:

it's actually really when you think about all the ways 3/6 very subtly morphed the entire rap game in their image. I don't even know if they were really trying to, it just kinda happened:

-lex luger comes thru with that sound that shifts the entire beat landscape, and he's citing them as one of his biggest influences. you could take a lot of 20 year old paul/juice beats, add hi-def drum samples/patterns, and basically have a luger beat (which luger actually did). suddenly all rap sounds like that for a while (drill still does)

-juice sees an opportunity, links up w luger, and all of a sudden he's doing singles w katy perry and getting major endorsements and shyt. didn't i just see a thread asking why cacs love him so much? dude's got white america on lock

-they probably birthed this entire "druggie era" we're currently in. way ahead of the game w that

-obviously the migos flow as previously mentioned

-oh how bout an oscar on top of all that
