Gangs, drugs, poverty, rebellious youngins, satanic culture in the south (jamaican/haitian/carribean influences)

Breh there's literally no Haitians, scratch that no Caribbean people in Memphis. Their influence is mainly Florida & the Northeast

Memphis was influenced by blues, horror movies, and Three 6 was inspired particularly by Esham

It's aged better than most music.You can ride that shyt anytime.Specialy if u can relate.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

the blues and devil worship go hand in hand. low vibration music leads to low vibe activity....and vice versa

You negative IQ airhead, his family is of Carribean descent, similar to other hundreds of thousands throughout the south, therefore the French names and voodoo/satanist influences

 

[Whogivesafuck]

Memphis is right near the delta where blues originated. Blues and the occult have been spoken about in the music forever. Not to mention you have clowns that don't know the difference between Hoodoo and Vodou.

Beauregard

As is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III

That's a confederate name

Where the links of DJ Paul claiming Caribbean heritage?

I'm a huge Three Six fan and never heard none of them claim Caribbean heritage.

nikka we from Africa just like Caribbean nikkas. Our ancestors brought voodoo over here too.
