Proof Three Six Mafia are better soul samplers than any east coast producer

[H.I.M.]

these links sound amateurish and sloppy.

Don't lie to yourself...

Try ridin around to that with 1100 watts in the trunk + dual 12's...shyt'll have you in the zone

that's why they didn't blow like that. not because they were before their time. meanwhile, people like dj u-neek & traxster were killing it.

Yet in 2016...production techniques these gentleman helped pioneer decades ago are still prominately displayed all over today's rap music (and outside of rap) unlike the work of the fine gentlemen you named...

could be speaking in ignorance about traxster...don't know nothing about him...but what has U-Neek been up to lately? DJ Squeeky predates U-Neek by a few years...and is still relevant today via Young Dolph...and got work all throughout the 2000's/2010's from major Southern artists...when was the last time a relevant hip-hop artist hit U-Neek up for a beat?

it sounds fresh now because the game is full of remedial retard rappers nowadays who have no business being on. these are the people yall are bragging about. look at this chit b. LOOK AT THIS CHIT MANE:

Take some random ass garbage drill song and think you saying something

you can do this with any sub-genre...

If you gon pick a Katie song

Don't know if its been said but 36 isn't touching Marley Marl, Pete Rock, or Easy Mo Bee. No matter how much some of you wanna rewrite history

Nobody's upset over the admiration for 3-6. What's infuriating is the overboard hyperbolic statements that overstate their influence and importance. Somebody on here said that Project Pat was a household name. Come on. He' s a Southern legend, but he was never big enough to where people who didn't listen to his music knew he was. Snoop is a household name. Jay z is a household name.


Posters on here claimed this was a Top 3 influential group when you have Public Enemy, NWA, Tribe, Run DMC, Geto Boys, etc.

He was . It was brief because of his prison stint which hurted his career but that Mista Don't Play album was everywhere breh.

No they aren't, 3-6 are definitely great producers, innovators and have contributed to the modern soundscape, but to try and rewrite history like they deserve more credit than Premo, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, The Large Professor or Q-Tip is going overboard.

nikkas will front.

I lost my mind when I realized where this sample came from.

When it comes to 3 6 production it's not just about the samples. They pretty much revolutionized the use of 808s. They way they would break down a beat and build it up, they snare and drum rolls were genius. Juicy and Paul basically invented trap beats. There would be no Drummer Boy, Southside, Lex Luger, etc..... without 3 6

Its not about rewriting history.....Its about giving credit where credit is due. DJ Paul & Juicy changed the game and were just showing them some love. All those 3 producers you mentioned were great in their time (Pete Rock is the man), but I didn't grow up on that sound. I was raised off a different sound, a different wave of music.

Its just like the NBA. Many years ago, you probably thought guys like Magic, Kareem, Bird, Zeek, Dr. J, etc wouldn't be replaced but then you have LeBron, Kobe, Duncan, KG, and Wade that have replaced some of those guys

Everything goes in cycles. The old school Boom bap sound isn't popular now but maybe it'll make a big return in the future..who knows. But what I do know is that traces of Three 6 Mafia's style can be easily found just about everywhere in hip-hop today.

Breh..

It's incredible what they did and what they have these kids doing now

Producers outshine rappers now

Not with that thread title its not. I know its not your thread...but an appreciation thread for them would have gone a whole different way.

Please tell me where I should be surprised with his production credits lol. There's nothing to be surprised about. You're acting like I'm gonna look at it and be like "WOW... he did THAT!?" Nah... he had about a 3-4 year run... strong singles... with a lot of misses in between. For every "great" Just Blaze track you post, I could post a subpar one. This is all a rebuttal about OP saying he's the greatest east coast producer. He's not even remotely close. His production credits are thin compared to the other producer greats. I dunno what I'm supposed to be surprised by.

That's cool you think M.A.D.E. is dope but in the scope of time not a goddamn soul talks about that album. People are always bringing up their flashback albums and I never seen anyone mention M.A.D.E. lol. Probably cause it was mediocre... but who knows maybe for whatever reason people forgot it exists. He's a producer who gets four spots an album tops who had big singles. Nothing more. Not GOAT status. Didn't say he wasn't good (as stated above)... he definitely ain't no GOAT.

I never said he was the GOAT of anything. I said he was THAT nikka on the Roc. He was their go to producer. Majority of that sound went thru him. This is all facts bro.

And they do deserve credit bro but this thread & some of the people posting are really reaching & doing the real fans of Three 6 a disservice with this though.

And as good as they are/were I don't think they've produced iconic albums as 2 of the 3 producers I mentioned above did. Marley Marl with Mama Said Knock You Out or half of Big's Ready To Die by Easy Mo Bee. Or have worked with the artists & produced massive hits like these guys either. It has nothing to do with Boom Bap either fam or being dated.
