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

[Playaz Eyez]

This is what kills me: You said you stanned Rocky yet you never actually listened to the music in any depth.

This is the difference between me and you. I listen to the fukking music because that's all that matters to me. You and others are persona dikkriders.

For you to say that NOTHING about Rocky's music reflects Cam and Mobb Deep is insane. I'm sitting here like "where the fukk have you been all these years?"

ASAP Rocky's 1st project and the ASAP Mob Lords Never Worry tape are two of my favorite projects post 2010, and not an ounce of their projects are a reflection of Cam'Ron or Mobb Deep other than being from the same state. Please take the L and put it on the shelf with all of your others.

Post his quotes about his discovery of southern music while your at it so this can be more balanced. You're a well learned poster so I know you won't struggle to find those quotes

was I talking to you? Why are you coming at me with this off-topic shyt? I'm talking about Rocky's East Coast influences, which apparently has been lost on many so-called hip hop fans.

I already know that Southern music is a huge influence on Rocky. Unlike y'all, I'm not a fraud. Certain things are obvious if you actually care about this hip hop shyt

Didn't I ask you to miss me with your subsequent quotes? Are you illiterate?

We've already established that you have no idea what you're talking about. And even in the face of obvious receipts, you still choose to ignore and ramble.

For the last time: deuces

you can't be any more than 17 the way you post champ

They started this "evil" sounding trap music

"Project Patuuuh, french braid, gold teeth-uh"
"Sippin on some sizzurp"
"Slop on my nob, like corn on the cob"
"Hit a muthafukka"

I lived in OK during my underground years (Circa 2001-2005) and they were getting play everywhere

The only thing they've influenced is production tho. None of these rappers would have the balls to say what they say if not for NWA. And the Wu changed the way rappers do business

NWA doesn't have the balls to say what they said then, now.


3/6 influenced sound more so than any other group since the early 90's to now and counting. That's pretty huge close to 30 years of influence and still counting. Also the Oscar win is huge too... I just dont see how they aren't in everyones top 3. Nostalgia aside they have milestones, lasting effects on the current generation and opened the ears to a audience of people that never even had heard of there name or never even listened to a rap song with the Oscar win.

Frankly, Yams and I shouldn't even have to tell you this shyt. if you were actually a hip hop fan, this would be obvious. But you're not. You're just another fraud with internet access

Please miss me with your subsequent quotes.

Production is a critical part of the culture. Always has been and always will be. It's 50% of the reason we loved Illmatic so much after it dropped. This nikkas had the best procurers of his time on the album

It shouldn't be positioned from a perspective of minimization.

I actually agree with you to g.. It's their sound.

When you look at the culture now and the last 15-16 years it's been more about sound.

nikkas love Young Thug and Lil Uzi more for of their sound.

Most of the new kids on the block aren't lyricists or break dancers.

I would also say that the southern way of doing business (Not a three six way) has dominated the culture as well now...

Production and the musical aspect is one of the biggest aspects of influencing artists & artists and culture in literally every single genre

One of the biggest criticism Nas always faces is his production, the biggest criticism Cam'Ron faces right now is his production..one of the main things that stuck out about Dipset was the production. when you hear music the first thing you notice is the beat, production.. actually music behind it.

Like or not but especially today, production can literally make or break an artists. So to claim it's the "only" thing like it's not one of the most important aspects of music and artists is ridiculous.

The more the read this thread the more I'm like



These rappers like Young Thug and Uzi Vert aren't even really making trap music. That shyt sounds more like EDM. I think 36 influence was more felt a decade ago or more. I mean whose rhyming over anything sounding like Chickenhead, Ridin Spinners, or International Players Anthem? I think y'all giving them more credit for the current state of production than they're due

Of course production is very important but everything else is equally as important. Nas has been criticized for his use of production and he's still one of the undisputed goats.

As far as business goes I don't think the south pioneered anything. That independent hustle comes straight from the Bay. The way deals are being done where everybody eats is from the RZA

But back to production. Y'all kno this conversation aint happening if Marley Marl had been in a official group

I'm gonna tell you the secrets, mayne.

Three 6 Mafia was THE HEIGHT of "Underground" music. They were known, even if they weren't seen as "popular"

The album title was true - they were the Most Known Unknowns.

Why has their sound/influence been so pervasive?

1. They are simply the forefront of "smoked out/locced out" music.
They are known by people who go out, get drunk, get high, get bucc, start fights in the club, shoot in the parking lot -
and as we know, that happens EVERYWHERE. I mean, of all the types of rappin' there's been there are very few
rappers/groups where venues will say "don't play their music, because everything will get out of hand".

2. Sonically - the horror samples, and the brooding sounds. Nobody was doing that but them.
It sounds like some chit you shouldn't be listening to. But that's exactly the kind of chit people want to listen to.

It's as simple as that.

J Prince and easy started hustling at the same time.. J may have actually started earlier

Listen to Hercules, With That, Best Friend, Digits, Mamacita with RHQ and Travis


Speaking of Travis

That lil nikka music reeks of three six

people have been doing that since the '80s.

On their level?

j.prince, luke & especially master p >>> the rza.
lol. cmon now.

this train is steering to far off the music tracks tho.

On their level?

i'd say better.

besides, not even the 3-6 stans are arguing about whose better. theyre just trying to say they did stuff first.

Of course NWA won't say that stuff now. They're rich middle aged black men with everything to lose. But that doesn't change the fact that before them hip hop was mostly about partying and battle rapping.

Their sound was very influential tho. They'll never be a top group overall tho becuz lyrically they were decent at best. UGK and Eighball and MJG rapped circles around them
