Is Three Six Mafia The Most Influential Hip Hop Act To Ever Come Out Of The South??

[bogey_j]

are they even more influential than Outkast, Geto Boys, UGK, Wayne, DJ Screw, T.I, Jeezy, Gucci Mane etc.?

they lowkey had a massive influence on the entire soundcloud rap scene and are the true architects of trap. I would say in terms of impact on today's generation, they are the most influential rap group from the 90's ever, regardless of coast

 

[T-K-G]

style was so different from the boom bap shyt that was out at the time Juice a GOAT but doesn't get the acknowledgement like his peers,

his sampling was always a vibe

 

[Crab Judah]

Without doubt

Three 6 still influencing the likes of Drake, Asap and Skepta a good 15 - 20 years after their debut

 

[JustCKing]

NO. Simply put. And people really misstep with the influence arguments because ya'll limit influence to sound-a-likes and what not. Geto Boys is definitely the most influential act to ever come out of The South. Nobody sounds like Geto Boys, but many cite them as inspirations even all the way down to pioneering horrorcore.

 

[Zero]

There's definitely a case

 

[CHICAGO]

EASILY

[Corndog]

Especially from the perspective of 2021, I think it's pretty clear this is the case

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

hip hop act, no. group, quite possibly.

 

[Pseudo]

That entire Memphis scene tbh.
In fact a strong argument can be made for them being the most influential Hip hop act of all-time

Underground Vol. 1: 1991-1994 is the blueprint for Hip-Hop from the mid 2000's onwards . Sooooo many sub-genres spawned from that tape

 

[Ciggavelli]

Yes

Exactly. This isn't really close. The runner up would probably be Cash Money/Hot Boyz they brought that country stuntin/flex shyt to the limelight.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Up there with Lil Wayne and Scarface/Geto Boys

Gets boys inspired all southern artist but as of late yes Memphis as a whole and triple 6 is all you here

 

[norfwestdc]

I would argue that they are currently the most influential group in rap. I just listened to some shyt from 06 and it sounds like it could come out today.

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

I say most influential group ever
South west and north
30 years deep still influencing artists

21 savage I am I was project had 3 6 written all over the beats
