Nobody's saying that Three Six Mafia were some broke backpack rappers, but they aren't the superstar group that posters on here are making them out to be. And I don't think anybody is in here trying to pass Marley Marl off as a household name.
Three Six Mafia themselves were well aware of their fame and celebrity and a lot of you in here are overstating it. They made an album called Most Known Unknown for a reason. They put in work on the underground scene for years. They broke through in '97 on the mainstream, but still wasn't superstar status. They got their first platinum album in 2000 and were still slept on. 2005 is when everything started lining up for them and even after Most Known Unknown became their biggest album, the Oscars, and a reality show, they still weren't superstars.
Who said they were a super star group? What the fukk are you even talking about?
Rap nikkaz knew who this nikkaz was? The south knew who they wre
we talking about the impact on the game. Producers knew who they were and knew they were the truth
ain't nobody talking about going platinum?
NONE OF GANGSTARR's ALBUMS HAVE EVER GONE PLATINUM
Does that mean they did not have an impact on the game and influenced otehrs.
Shaq went platinum, doesn't mean shyt, he didn't influence artist to do shyt
Nelly went diamond, ain't nobody saying they influenced him or they want to follow in his footsteps
all that is irrelevant to the fact, the Game took their style and ran with it.
