Outside of the South, they weren't a big deal in the 90s. If you were around back then you'd know that.

mista don't play dropped in 99-00 which is when 3 6 was probably one of the bigger names down south not cash money, outkast, face, or no limit related, and even then no limit was pretty much
by 2000, I'm not speaking on the 90's, but then again tear the club up was a pretty huge song during that time.I'm not saying they have numerous of classic albums but you can't deny their influence on the south currently.

I'll agree just off strength of my bias to The Prophet Posse but I can't agree with you indefinitely because I can do something with their songs and make em a nikkanational classic.
And I ain't een trollin. No plug but I know what, how, and why people like the things they do. And as you already know, everybody "different'
Not to get all chatty patty. But Paul, J, and Mike da Gawdz. I study them (and others). I know some shyt that'll have you playin shyt from it for the rest of your life.
Even between, before, and after the Three 6 shyt. Don't undermine CNN too hard. And my nikkaz never been my favorite anything. Im a Death Row/Hypnotized Mindz type a nikka lol

You think 36 was bigger than Cash Money in 99-2000?
Tear the Club Up was a minor hit. If you followed hip hop in 97 you definitely knew who they were though off the strength of that song.
My point to their influence is that everything they influenced is trash.

They had a cult following in the 90s, but they were known back then. Maybe not on the east coast but in the south & midwest area Three 6 were known breh. I knew about them before they blew up because my uncle that lives in KY was always listening to them every time I visited. You have to understand that there is a world outside of NYC dude lol. Tear Da Club Up & Late Night Tip were hits which helped them go gold. It wasn't until 99-2000 they became big nationwide when Sippin On Sum Sizzurp was being shown on BET & MTV regularly. Project Pat was already buzzing off Ghetty Green then dropped Mista Don't Play which made him a a house hold name.
I also saw where you said that Mista Don't Play is a regional classic? How? Its Pat's best work and it went platinum.
So, since The Infamous & Hell On Earth didn't go plat....Its a regional classic right?

We listened to everything out here. Not 36 in the 90s though.
Going gold in the South wasn't a big deal. You could go gold and be regional. It was a fantastic market for album sales. Look at UGK and Ball and G.
Tear the club up was a minor hit.
They got bigger definitely with that album with sipping on it.
They didn't get really big until Stay Fly.
Project Pat was never a household name.
Sales don't dictate classics.
Salute to Pat though for going plat.
All this music was birthed by three six in this era, Juicy J still doing the same goddamn flow he been doing and it's still hits people think he a new artist.
That migos shyt is three six too, lord infamous was rapping like that,.
Anybody who made beats, tried to be like three six, because after hearing their drum patterns everything else was inferior. All snares, high hats, all that drum programming used today came from three six they being that shyt before the south even had that sound.
Eight Ball and MJG wasn't nothing like three six, their shyt was like Rap A lot south music.
LiL Jon went from Shawty Swing My Way to Bia Bia, biting Tear the Club Up, which came out years before.
They were coldest samplers too. Their albums were basically weed song, hardcore drug song, crunk song, trap song, strip club song, and a pimping song. This was the entire forumla for every album.
Even lean came from them nikkaz and this nikkaz still doing that shyt lmao
this shyt came out when I was in sixth grade
I was trying to tell nikkaz they was better Just Blaze and Kanye back in day, motherfukkers was hating hard, but you can't compare the production
The Three Six version of that sample is way cleaner, way harder, way better
They created the trap shyt too
These the most bitten nikkaz of all time, literally everybody beats and even EDM use these nikkaz shyt and they was doing it in the 90's
this the gucci type shyt
this that drill shyt with them evil ass pianos
you can't deny these nikkaz

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.
once sippin on some syrup and who run it came out they were pretty big by then.
and everything they influenced isn't trash, that's your opinion
breh.
were you around back then?
just asking before I get into a back-n-forth.
mista don't play isn't a classic now, the non sense you see on this website
that was a middle-of-the-road album.
for some reason, people on here think a a nice lil album from back in the day constitutes as a classic. you dudes is funny mane.
somebody earlier in this thread tried to say that "chapter 2: world domination" is a classic. LOL. I remember that chit being half-filler.
