Three 6 Mafia a top 3 influential group that doesn't get their due credit

[SirBiatch]

So he can continue to be loud and wrong ?

That guy in your avy draws his biggest influences from Memphis and Houston, and you'd be a fool to think otherwise

More than Camron/Mobb Deep? (ASAP "Mob" - think about it)

either way, Rocky outdid Memphis. We've talked about this a number of times.

Idk if they top 3. Run DMC, NWA, and the Wu were all more influential. But I agree they're definitely the most influential from the south. They gave the south their identity when before shyt was real west coast influenced

I'm putting them over Wu. Of course I respect anyone with Wu in their top 3..


But their influence and impact on the culture isn't as prevelent or relevant right now and it didn't last as long

Three 6 has had just as much.. If not more impact than Wu globally

I could pull videos of trap music from Chinese artists African artists European artists


Who was the white boy who was doing drill music last fall

Hey champ... I actually love some of your perspective but there is a reason you don a WOAT banner on our forum

Like I've been saying look around at the culture. Listen to what's been going on and what's still going on.. This Isn't some far fetched idea or perspective these are opinions that are valid and arguable

Like I told @BmoreGorilla i respect anyone with Wu in their top 3 but to act like you can't argue them against three six is downright ridiculous

Now I'm high, really high, mane I'm about to shout.




PROPHET POSSE DA POSSE BYATCH. That hollering at the end is hard as fukk.











These nikkaz are all I've been listening to for the past 2 weeks. Imagine waking up at 5am and the first thing you listen to is this.

So you think using the word "Mob" makes Mobb Deep an influence? you had better argument if you meant Crime Mob. There is nothing about Rocky's sound that is Mobb Deep nor Cam'Ron. Wiz Khalifa is the one with Cam/Dipset influence you goof

That's why I @ you...

You're one of the best posters in the booth. Your questions from the Three 6 mafia thread always stuck with me. You seem like a true student of the game.

Anyways,

The south will continue to dominate until new syndication laws or put into place. There is something about the style of music they make that resonates with the world. I'm not taking anything away from northern artists but it is what is

 

[Taadow]

My bad. I meant to write "classic" album.
I know they are influential, but my whole point is that that influence has yet to yield an unquestionable classic album.

So?

And can you explain the Luda and Screw influence?
I know people have claimed that Luda had elements of Bone in his style. Is that what you're referring to?

Listen to the music, that'll "explain the Luda and Screw influence".
Hell, Luda had 3-6 production on those albums.

Historical context


The southern sound is more organic. It goes back to chattel slavery and the southern bible belt. The bottom line is our ancestors were very musically inclined and often used it to communicate and express themselves against oppression.

Those of our ancestors that were "fortunate"(I say that sarcastically) enough to migrate north had quicker access to the Europeans' education as freed men and women. This is essence of a societal disconnect that has been in place over the last 100 years. Northern "blacks" begin to feel like they were more sophisticated than southern blacks because of their access to european education and jobs.

The reality is.... they were no more sophisticated but they might've spoke Kingsmen English just as eloquently as their former masters.

Southern "blacks" were left with (european) religion, land, and were forced to work together (out of circumstance) to build communities because they didn't have the same access to the "best" (I say best sarcastically) education and resources as the northerners.


The south's run has been long and strong not because their music is simplistic or less sophisticated but because of it's origins. The southern run has blended Hip Hop and R&B. The southern sound resonates with people (especially minorities) because the sound is youthful, charismatic, and still has soul. I'm not taking anything away from the North, Midwest, or the West by indirectly saying their music doesn't have soul either.

Now to much of anything can be a bad thing. The southern dominance has been great for the south but it is it great for all of hip hop?

What's really bothering a certain 2 or 3 posters in this thread is this....


It's ok to be mad @ the fact you don't understand that regions dominance... or you prefer another region's more

but the fact of the matter is the third generation of East coast artists were indoctrinated into a southern hip hop world

They don't sound like Jay-Z or Raekwon they sound like FUTURE

i already know where your going with the outkast stuff, notice I said biggest names down south, master p post the last don was pretty much done musically, tru silkk, fiend, mystical , magic, 504 boys ect were dropping better projects then Percy, he obviously wasn't taking rapping too serious at that point and was pushing Romeo and the label as a brand by that point because of other business moves in Hollywood, but if you want to make one of your famous threads comparing one of his albums post the last don like game face to mista don't play we can see how this plays out

why are you tryna focus on those post-retirement master p solo albums? we're talking about no limit as a whole, and obviously you know it. not to mention that P was still the leader of TRU & 504 boyz. both groups were bigger than 3-6 mafia.

and lil romeo wasn't out yet when all this stuff was going on. nor was "game face"(lol). I see what youre tryna do on the slick. but you cant out-hustle a hustler.

and as for the outkast comment, don't try to backtrack now. HERE IS YOUR QUOTE.

I said one of the bigger names at that time, I didn't say they were bigger then cash money.

post 2000 it was cash money, outkast, and 36 who basically was running the south at that point.

those were your words.

and it wasn't a race either. it was simply just cash money.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

in the beginnin they are debatable with the demonic get buck shyt..all the tapes that juice n paul made..were like tennesse screw tapes

once they crossed over they followed a lot of trends

 

[The Mad Titan]

The reason you can't really understand how influential 3/6 is, is because they are still influencing the culture where as wu and NWA had there run

 

[10:31]

So when I say I prefer Three Six to Wu it's because of impact. Impact is something you can observe in hindsight and in the present

The second generation of East coast artists (Jadakiss, Fab, Cassidy) all have pandered and used southern culture to maintain relevance..

Don't make me post the link to "Who's real, Who's not" feat Jew Man.... or all of Fab's shape shifting attempts to look and sound southern

all the hip hop critics who talk over and over about how 50 sounded like a southern artist at times on "Get Rich of Die Trying or Die Trying" (one of the biggest albums of last decade)

I don't see A$ap Ferg or Rocky trying to sound like Nas

I don't hear Desiigner trying to sound like Jay-Z or Prodigy

Three Six Mafia's sound will continue to dominate because now it's not southern it's "THE SOUND" "THE STANDARD"
