They sound like loops to me, but that's still not the same as composition, they just played different beats during the song, the beat itself didn't change

you just don't understand

that eazy e shyt is like the big sean song that comes from the bay shyt to the soul shyt, it's not what I'm talking about

Now I see what you're getting at but this is what I initially quoted and addressed "Three Six where the first producers to ACTUALLY SEQUENCE THEIR BEATS

they had break downs, second verse would be different from the first verse, the hook would be different, they would have different parts throughout the song"

nothing here about "programming their own drums and constantly switching up the patterns, hats, and grooves"

That might be what you meant from the beginning but there's no way I could know that

I don't even got a tape deck anymore, plus I'm in cali and the tape is in detroit I just checked my bag of tapes and it ain't in there.
Idk man i find it a little hard to believe especially when you got a legit market for those tapes, some rare shyt like that that nobody's ever heard of could go for some good money.

You can't say people "just discovered Three 6" then follow that up with "some of you probably don't remember Who You Wit". I mean, are we really gonna act like Three 6 didn't first pop up as the Backyard Posse in 1991?

This post is exactly what I am getting at. If posters in here weren't on Three Six prior to the mid 90's, they really have no grasp on what they are talking about. Reading about early Three Six and listening to what they did then and comparing it to now and drawing conclusions is rewriting history. Why? Because you're writing out groups and artists who made bigger impacts during that time while compensating for what you missed out on.

If he stayed in the south its not that hard to believe, I actually have a partner that had a bunch off unreleased and hard to find super old 3 6 stuff.

He kinda lost it tho:pachaha: and by it I mean his mind:francis:

So no telling what happen to all his stuff.

yep.

all those old tapes usually come to light when an artist is blown up.

and here, we're talking about a group that won an Oscar. sure, the song was a joke, but that's still supposed to be a big deal.

They were ahead of their time. Now time has caught up to them.

they weren't ahead of their time at all. especially considering how they milked their beef with the most popular rap group in the game at the time, to get their name up and ultimately get their deal.

they came at a time when bone had the dark beat/double-time chit POPPIN. another reason why yall are giving 3-6 way too much credit.

3-6 mafia just didn't have THAT CHIT. no excuses. that's why they weren't as big as yall wish they were.

but they laid some groundwork for other people to build on.......granted, they didn't father as much stuff as yall are trying to credit them for, but they had their influence.
theyre just nowhere near top 3 with it. more like top 20-25.

I'm just saying there's crazy obscure shyt that's been put online, with all these German investors im saying how unlikely it is that the biggest group outta there has shyt that's never seen the light of the internet.
I'm not saying it's not possible though and that would be huge news to a lot of Memphis heads if you put it up.
