ball street journal sold 450K,thats close enough,Revenue Retrieven sold 350K in 2010....back when everybody was still buying albums right?thats ghetto gold if you didnt know,and they will be gold if they not by now...Stay Trippy on the other hand
i still already deaded the bullshyt you was tryna pull by saying wasnt nobody buying 40's albums since 2001?Not to mention that bullshyt Lil Flip comparison....dont try to be slick by playimg humble now,you humble cuz I made you that way
You definitly was being slick with that "knack" shyt as if 40 was on these songs on some "luck","or "right place right time" shyt....nawl nawl nawl,40 is relevant in terms of making his OWN HITS,and musically by being at the forefront of a sound....aint just a "knack" for poppin up on people shyt as if he getting label placements,or he got the same manager as all these other nikkas....cool if we agree now,but lets agree you was talkin shyt before
Again, you seem very bothered. I'm gonna assume you're B-Legit, D-Shot, or maybe even Suga T. Anyway, I said Stay Trippy's 1st week sales probably total more than E-40's last 8 albums combined. He released 10 albums in the span of two years. Wanna know which ones those don't include? The ones you mentioned, 2-4 years prior to that, one of which took 8 years to go gold but that's besides the point. I wasn't being slick with anything, I don't need to be slick for some p*ssy online when I'm bringing facts. The Flip comparison was only to mention that there's other vets who are still dropping projects consistently, and E-40 ain't the only one.
Also, exactly what movement is E-40 at the forefront of with his own hits recently? Are you talking about Function and Choices, both which got decent airplay but didn't crack the top 100?? Those are the songs you're diving on a sword for??
fukk outta here, E-40's biggest form of relevancy was his Big Sean feature on IDFWU, then recently on Yo Gotti's single. Juicy J legit had his OWN shyt IN the top 100, then cleaned up on all those pop & R&B tracks with Usher, Katy, Maejor, and Ne-Yo. Bandz was released on a damn mixtape almost 2 years before Stay Trippy even came out, they just threw a remix together when it go hot. Don't get offended just cause when you see certain words you can't process them and make inferences. I know your fingers are burning at your keyboard right now, but who cares, just make sure you proofread shyt before you hit 'post reply'.Here's another smilie
Which is why this logic has no real application to the real world. Ghetto Report Card dropped in 2006 and is bigger than any album released by a Three Six member since. Juicy J's Stay Trippy is the only one that rivals it. You're saying you don't remember "Tell Em When To Go" and "U & Dat"?

^That's the only part I was wrong about, I was thinking about the album that had Rep Yo City
There's another thing you're wrong about too breh.
BabyFaceKillahh
All Star
Oh I know they were big I'm just laughing cuz all the cholos at school would bump their shyt while trying to start shyt with black people at the same time
If they got that "triple 6" shyt from anybody...it was from Ganksta Nip/SPC...he/they had a DJ/Producer named "triple 6" NIP used to always shout him out and namedrop him in songs
Listen to the beginning...
both Paul & Infamous named Ganksta NIP/SPC as one of their primary influences...Lord Infamous outright said NIP was his favorite rapper...and Paul & Juice would sample the living shyt outta NIP/SPC's music in the early-to-mid-90's...and they put his name in the Mystic Styles album credits... so put 2 & 2 together...
I doubt they even knew who Brotha Lynch was in 92-93...never heard them once sample his music...or even mention him...and Paul & Juice sample every got damn body...if you ain't been sampled Paul & Juice...best believe you ain't shyt...they even sampled their enemies like Squeeky, Zirk & BONE right in the middle of their beefs.
You geekin mo'
Fair enough,well there you have it....there were multiple groups and people doing the dark sinister sound,tongue twisting style within the same timespan all by coincidence
....all the more reason to not give 3-6 all of the credit for every damn thing....apparently 3-6 can just pull that style out of the air,but when Migos say they didn't get it from Lord Infamous,they bullshyttin?Again, you seem very bothered. I'm gonna assume you're B-Legit, D-Shot, or maybe even Suga T. Anyway, I said Stay Trippy's 1st week sales probably total more than E-40's last 8 albums combined.

Yeah I'm passionate,what's the problem lil nikka
?you might want to check what you saying,according to wiki both Function and Choices cracked top 100....but regardless of that you basically admitting your an of the moment dikk rider on some hot potato shyt..."oooh ooh 3-6 sound is more relevant right now in 2016"...OK but where's 3-6 at though?and what about all the years prior to 2016?guess 40's string of hits and years of relevancy and being at the forefront of the hyphy sound,and cali rap scene can't stand up to Juicy J's hot YEAR
? Yall just typical of the moment rap fans, with short term memories,nothing to see here really.T.I.- “I was like, ‘Listen, I don’t need anything. The motherfukkers around me respect me enough.’ So 8Ball, MJG, Bun B, were major figures in the culture. They cultivated my career and they were some of the first Southern lyricists along with OutKast, Scarface, and Goodie Mob.

DJ Sqeeky-
Who were some of your musical influences from a production standpoint?
We were more or less listening to Dr. Dre and them. 8Ball & MJG with T-mix and them making the music. M.J.G. taught me how to start working the keyboards and stuff. I didn’t know anything about the keyboard. I had a drum machine back then. MJG used to come back to Memphis [with his] Sonic keyboard. He used to show me a lot of tricks.
Q & A with DJ Squeeky
And here is Eightball talking about the influence of Memphis on Atlanta and even credits Three Six:
DX: Drumma Boy and Mike Will Made It have absolutely bonded with the southern rap sound both of you and Three Six Mafia helped create, how do you feel about the Memphis/Atlanta legacy they’re carrying into mainstream music?
8Ball: They’re so close to each other. Distance as well as the feel of the music as far as Hip Hop goes I think in the early ‘90s, me and MJ and Three Six Mafia and groups like that created a sound, DJ Squeaky was one of em. I think Atlanta adopted it with the Lil Jon era. Atlanta is like a sister city to Memphis. That sound kind of carried over and it went from underground to popular music. It’s just that sound, it’s an unexplainable sound to me, created out of Memphis. It took it to the world with the commercialized way that Atlanta rappers did it. Some of em, not all of em. Lil Jon took that crunk, hard beat sound to another level.

Now I know who mentioned 8 Ball & MJG
OP you've made a classic thread. I hope someone in three six catches wind of this jawn because a lot of knowledge has been shared and classic forgotten records have been dropped
Anyways back to this outlandish post where Ball & G are quoted saying they helped create tear the club up sound
Once again, if you read the pimp c book (or just listened to his infamous 2007 interview) he clearly credits three six alone as the pioneers of the tear the club up sound which transformed into crunk which went onto become what we call trap today
8Ball & MJG must've been the legendary group you meant weren't household names
You obviously were quote hunting to prove a point but some of us are actually fans of the group and I guarantee you
Guarantee you
You couldn't drop 10 "tear da club songs/anthems" from ball and G pre 2004..
Guarantee
Once again, it's odd that two/three people in both of these threads are going to extreme lengths to discredit something so obvious

Not every crunk song sounds like "Tear Da Club Up". "Lay It Down" was a crunk classic before Three Six even impacted.
I hope Three Six Mafia would see the thread too just so they could clear up that a lot of what's being solely attributed to them is a Memphis thing.
I'm not out here quote hunting. I'm posting quotes to prove a point.
Nobody's going to the extreme to discredit something obvious. People are trying to point out that ya'll are way off base trying to claim Three Six Mafia is a Top 3 influential group ever.
Once again fam, you went quote hunting to prove a point but what you failed to realize is Ball & Gs music sounds nothing like Three Six's up until 04
I guess you didn't or don't listen to Ball & G.
Where are the songs? Let's let the music speak
Post 10 songs pre 2004 from Ball & G that sound like Tear Da Club Up music
This has nothing to do with Eightball & MJG sounding like Three Six Mafia. You're letting the stanning blind you. The point isn't that they sound anything alike. The point is that Eightball & MJG were by far just as influential if not more influential than Three Six Mafia. They were out the gate a bigger group than Three Six Mafia. Three Six did not have a Comin' Out Hard. The production with the chants as hooks style song structure pioneered what you're giving Three Six sole credit for.
