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

[Zero]

Their sound hasn't died


Their sound doesn't sound dated

They're easily top 3 on some surprise surprise shyt

I made this thread earlier in the year glad the Coli waking up

You did...we need rep back on

 

[10:31]

Every snippet Meek played from DC4 sounds like Trap music

My favorite got damn song from TLOP is Trap music

Their sound has played a role in R&B singers using their production to sing and rap... Traditional R&B almost doesn't exist my nikkas


Clap for these nikkas

 

[10:31]

You did...we need rep back on

appreciate you bro but this is really about the exchange of information...

What they've done to the culture is beyond transformational. The only two groups I can put in front of them (with a clear conscience) is Run DMC and NWA

I find it funny East Coast Albums can be Classic when everything else is considered a Regional Classic.

You see that shyt?

 

[10:31]

Idk. If people are clowning artists and hate how regionalism is kinda becoming obsolete there gonna probably hate it in the next 10 years.

I think of it this way like.. You had ASAP Rocky come out whos from NY, same as me, mostly. Llarge influenced by the souths music and ASAP Mob loves Dipset. Dipset was influenced by the south as well. It's funny how people don't understand how this could contribute to northerners sounding more southern. So you got these rappers from NY (ASAP) who were also of the Internet generation. The south has been doing their thing for a minute. The 00s we were listening to a lot of three 6 Mafia, I'm from Mass not sure if it was like that in NY, too. So you can't expect a generation that came up listening to a lot of southern shyt or NY music that was southern influenced and expect anything other out of it.

Also In the 00s digging for music was harder than it is now. Now, I could just open up soundcloud and listen to some obscure southern rapper.

The newer generation coming up & making music don't have the techlogilical barriers that could limit influence outside regions that we did in the 00s and earlier.

kinda like how in the 80s and 90s having an mpc was like a big deal. There's younger posters on here who argue that making a beat from scratch takes more skill Than sampling but they don't take into account that producers back then didn't have access to equipment like that. Now you can just download a program and be a producer.

It's a generational shift "progressing" also with technology.

@Zero Rep this man too

Fetty Wap's Reaction To Meeting Gucci Mane Is The Best Thing Ever

Betty Wap’s Reaction to Meeting Gucci Mane Is the Best Thing Ever



"It's no secret that Fetty Wap's career exploded out of nowhere last year, but sometimes it's easy to forget that just a year ago, he was a little-known guy from Paterson, N.J. Thankfully, we got an amazing reminder of this over the weekend when Fetty posted a reaction video after he met Gucci Mane. "Yesterday I met Gucci Mane. I met motherfukking Guwop," he exclaimed. "My life is fukking finished. Life goals. I'm done."

Fetty went on to reflect on his rapid road to success. "I'm fukking super fukking rich," he said. "I made more than $5 million, I met Guwop, I got all my fukking dream cars. I fukking quit. I'm deleting everything. fukk Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat. There's no more Fetty Wap man. It's over." You can check out his entire amazing reaction and speech about Gucci Mane in the video below.

Fetty actually got the name "Wap" from Guwop, and has often spoke about how much he idolized Gucci Mane. Clearly their meeting had an effect on the Paterson rapper, who looks absolutely hyped in the video.

Fetty's meeting with Gucci likely came just before he joined the rapper on stage at his homecoming concert on Friday. It's not hard to imagine how going from being a fan to performing with your idol would be an incredible experience for anyone, even someone who's had such a sudden and successful run like Fettyhas."



That sound is the THE STANDARD.

This generation isn't sounding like my nikka Rae or Ghost or my nikka Cube

Cube & Nas are my personal rap Gods.. Scarface and Cube are my goats

but ask these nikkas who their influences are... some of you nikkas be having that reaction every time

I work with kids from Baltimore and there ins't anything about Wu or Dipset that influences them

but believe me... they love some southern sounding music (Three Six Mafia )

They still rage against law enforcement on some (NWA shyt)

They take pride in their fashion on some RUN DMC shyt

 

[Zero]

nobody was fukkin with paul or juicys sample game

and they have some of the best "beat switch ups" mid song in hip hop history

1:30

 

[Demon]

Hence why it's really not at all suprising that Juicy J was able to have such a huge comeback if you consider the fact that Juicy J & Three 6's music/production in the early 90s and even in the 00s was really so fu*king ahead of it's time

this somg song still sounds fresh as fu*k & up to date compared to a lot of the music other places were putting out at the time



The ethereal production style on this song is what mad rappers love & chase after these days




Memphis rap (and Texas as well) & three 6 birthed all this demonic & chillwave sounding trap & drill sh*t..

Raider Klan
ASAP Mob
Team Sesh
$uicideboy&
Playboi Carti (indirectly..his production)

Lot of these hipster rappers

Even some dudes like Herb & Kodak have songs with obvious Three 6 Mafia influence wether it be a sample or just a beat that sounds like some Three 6

shut the fukk up, cavebytch

 

[NotaPAWG]

You should post these exact words in every struggle 3 6 Mafia thread from now on.

thread/

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

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

Dude just stop.. other than when Rocky free styles and his style there is nothing about his music that reflects Cam'Ron or Mobb Deep. Youre mad in denial about three 6's infieujce on his music just cause you don't like three 6

 

[Wacky D]

The white colinal(elitist) picks who they want you to feel did what/or had the most influence

When you have your own two eyes and ears and do your own research

Of course NWA is number one.. Or RUN DMC but after there is an unexpected group at 3.

You can pick up Pimps book from last year and he's giving them credit for their sound and its immediate influence in the BOOK..

lol @ the bolded.

YOURE NOT DOING ANY RESEARCH.

that's the problem I have with this thread. its nothing against 3-6 mafia(athough yall are making me dislike them at this point). the thing is, i know who they are & who they aren't.
i was a 3-6 fan circa '97-00 in actual real-time and have an actual retail collection of their stuff. i guarantee i was a fan before 90% of the people in here even gave them a listen. and i probably spent more money on their chit than at least 95% of yall. i can tell that most of the people in here arguing with me, didn't even start listening to them until after they fell off.


and like i said, youre not doing any research. you people are looking at hip-hop thru a very small scope. and then you throw in a couple of predictable old school picks like run dmc(who yall prolly know nothing about) and NWA, just to look credible.

this thread is a joke. that's why 3-6 stans get grouped in the weirdo category. get a clue.

breh keep it moving

you have a clear biased.. now you're starting to dislike them lol... so your stance at this point won't be objective at all.

I have no problems with anyone who put Wu or will put Wu in front of them. I've done my research... If you did yours.. you would've participated in the threads I've done since the top of the year which provide more context

As a matter of fact you should prob check my thread from Jan and March of this year. I'm bringing in quotes and different perspectives from that thread now.

 

[10:31]

The pushback in the thread comes from a select few who have an issue with the south. The underlying theme/undertone of the opposition in this thread is rooted in a lack of understanding and appreciation for that sound.

Hence people being redundant and saying frivolous shyt over and over about they lack classics

My nikka Kurupt has no classic album to his name but is one of the GOATs and influenced a plethora of west coast MCs to this day...

Can't stand hip hop elitism as it pertains to hip hop

can't stand white colonialism as it pertains to history and society


a nikka can't tell me who to appreciate more and why when I can do my own homework based on my observations

 

[NotaPAWG]

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

@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

Claiming three 6 is just as influential or equally as Wu isn't some far fetched idea especially if you look around and actually have a clue about current artists..

Other than Action Bronson there are nearly next to no artists or a few sounding like or have traces of Wu in their music..meanwhile there's DOZENS. Hundreds.. of artists who exhibit sounds and things that three 6 was doing or originatedr so idk why people are taking issue with that claim. Tons of white kids Wearing Wu shirts doesn't exactly count as "influence" musically speaking.

It's like how "real" hip hop fans will down the fu*k out of Keefs influence and laugh in your face if you dare claim Keef is more influential than a "real hip hop" rapper & prop up guys like Kendrick for "pushing the culture forward" (wtf does that even mean) and being so influential while not having any peers copying his sound meanwhile there and hundreds of Keef clones. I hate how rap fans can lack that objectivity and recognize & give props that are deserved because some moralistic real hip hop idealism that gets in their way to be objective and see shyt for what it is.

"Once you see it.. you can't unsee it."

"Once you hear it you can't unhear it?

 

[Wacky D]

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"

just because someone adds a southern element of their music, that means that theyre influenced by f*ckin 3-6 mafia now?

you dudes is weirdos man. i cant f*ck wit too much of this thread no more.

go get some daylight breh.
