Тексты песен Three 6 Mafia
Информация о артисте
Three 6 Mafia - рэп группа с юга. Они быстро выросли из скромного подпольного рэп коллектива в коммерчески успешную династию, сохранив свои первоначальные качества и выпустив множество альбомов. Представляющие город Мемфис, шесть основных членов группы (Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, Lord Infamous, Koopsta Knicca, Juicy "J" и DJ Paul) своими текстами о наркотиках, агрессии, сексе и других нехороших вещах придали ей мрачный и мистический образ. Кроме того, продакшен лидеров группы Juicy "J" и DJ Paul отличный аргумент их рэпа, что заставило многих называть их южным Ву-Тэнг Кланом. Как и Wu-Tang Three 6 Mafia продюсируют свои работы сами, не обращаясь к другим людям, и также выпускают множество сольных проектов и сборников. После выпуска их первого официального альбома в 1995 году и первого альбома с крупного лейбла в 1997 году, к Three 6 Mafia приходит суперслава. Летом 2000 года, когда "When The Smoke Clears" дебютировал на шестое место в чарте "Billboard", стало ясно, что Three 6 Mafia уже не подпольная группа.
Что же было до того, как Three 6 Mafia стала единым проектом? Примерно в 1990 году DJ Paul начинает свою музыкальную карьеру. Работая популярным мемфисским ди-джеем, он создавал микстейпы дома со своим братом по имени Ricky Dunigan (Lord Infamous). В 1991 году DJ Paul встречает одного местного ди-джея по имени Jordan Michael Houston (Juicy "J"), который был фанатом его микстейпов. Вместе они начинают производить записи, накладывая свою читку на минуса. В конечном счете, они стали накладывать речитативы и местных MC. После того как Juicy "J" и DJ Paul отточили своё мастерство до такой степени, что их звук в буквальном смысле стал их торговой маркой (позже их работы были представленные на сборнике "Underground Vol. 1", их ранние записи 1991-1994 годов), они уже официально начали сотрудничать с местными MC. В результате их первый андерграундный релиз под названием "Smoked Out Loced Out" был выпушен под именем Triple 6 Mafia. После восторженных откликов у себя на южной стороне (south side), группа переименовывается в Three 6 Mafia и в 1995 году выпускает свой первый официальный альбом под названием "Mystic Stylez".
На раннем этапе своей карьеры, лагерь Three 6 Mafia гордились тем, что они были такими неформатнымии и рэповали о сексе, наркотиках и насилии. В то время как эти темы точно не были материалом для MTV. При помощи средств массовой информации эти противоречия и дали толчок для роста их популярности, когда в свет вышел EP "Live By Yo Rep", который содержал в себе "лирические выстрелы" в сторону Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, которые со своей стороны обвинили их в краже их неповторимого стиля читки и мелодичного флоу. Со своим вторым альбомом "Da End" Three 6 Mafia подписывают контракт с "Relativity Records". Свои ранние альбомы они выпускали на лейбле "Prophet Entertainment", первый релиз с крупного лейбла стал альбом "Chapter 2: World Domination". Они также перезаписали трек "Tear The Club Up" с альбома "Mystic Stylez" и назвали его "Tear The Club Up '97". Трек стал ещё одним уважаемым гимном с юга.
Они подписали контракт с крупным лейблом, выпустили хитовый сингл, лидеры группы Juicy "J" и DJ Paul начали выпускать сольные альбомы участников группы (Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca), а также других исполнителей (Project Pat, The Kaze) и сборники ("Tear Da Club Up Thugs", "Hypnotize Camp Posse"). Подобно лейблу Мастера Пи "No Limit Records" конца 90-ых годов, продукты под маркой "Three 6 Mafia" вскоре наводнили рынок. Хотя даже самый несгибаемый фанат не мог следить за каждым релизом, многие альбомы помогли внести ясность в то, что происходит в Мемфисе. Это стало очевидным летом 2000 года, когда долгожданный "официальный" альбом группы под названием "When The Smoke Clears" поражает улицы. Благодаря синглу "Sippin' On Some Syrup" альбом дебютировал на шестое место в чарте "Billboard". После успеха этого альбома (который кстати не получил ротации на MTV), группа начинает работу над фильмом "Choices" и продолжает работу над сольными проектами.
На данный момент в группе осталось только два участника - всё те же DJ Paul и Juicy "J", выпустившие в 2008 году свой последний на данный момент альбом с красноречивым названием " The Last 2 Walk "
В 2009 году участники проекта уделяют большое внимание сольному творчеству. DJ Paul записывает альбом "Scale-A-Ton" с прямым участием Lord Infamous, и Juicy "J", в свою очередь, издает альбом "Hustle Till I Die".
Но сейчас участники сосредоточились на новом альбоме группы, который должен выйти в самом начале 2010. Сингл "Shake My" уже можно услышать в ротации радиостанций и телеканалов.

Three 6 Mafia is an American hip hop group from Memphis, Tennessee. Originally called "Backyard Posse," the group has included many members, including Gangsta Blac, Gangsta Boo, La' Chat, Koopsta Knicca, Lord Infamous, Playa Fly and Crunchy Black. The group now consists of only Juicy J and DJ Paul, who also serve as in-house producers. Project Pat is signed to their label along with Lil' Wyte. The dark and hardcore group is famous for their gruesome lyrics with topics ranging from drug use to inciting the crowd in a nightclub to riot. They are famous for being pioneers of the crunk sound, as well as being the first rap artists from Memphis to go platinum.
In 1995, the Memphis underground rap group, then named "Triple 6 Mafia", released its first official album, Mystic Stylez. It had recorded this album by using the profits from its highly successful underground tape Smoked Out, Loced Out. The members then changed the group's name to "Three 6 Mafia" (or sometimes "3-6 Mafia") and now use the Triple-6 name on the compilations of reissued tracks from their underground tapes. They did this because radio stations supposedly refused to play the songs of a group whose name included a reference to the number 666. There are also rumors that the name was changed because of copyright reasons due to a falling out with others in the Memphis rap scene. The group has had a number of disputes with former allies, namely Playa Fly, Gangsta Blac, and Skinny Pimp. In fact, some say that the group was originally named "Three Six Mafia" (all words spelled out), then switched to "Triple Six" for similar reasons.
On the 1995 single "Live By Yo Rep", the group had accused Cleveland group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony of stealing its style (a mix of quasi-harmonic rapping and blatant references to the occult). The track "All Original" on Bone's Art of War album is thought to be a dis of Three Six (this issue has apparently been settled, however). The problems between the two groups were eventually settled in family court in June 1996.
Eventually, Three 6 Mafia moved towards the "crunk" style of rap - repetitive chanting aimed at hyping a crowd (e.g.— "tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up!"). This direction (exemplified by songs like "Sippin' on Syrup" with Houston rappers UGK) helped them reach number 6 on the Billboard album chart in 2000 with their CD 6661: When the Smoke Clears.
Three 6 has expanded its operations considerably. Its stable of affiliated rappers is called "Hypnotize Minds" or the "Hypnotize Camp Posse" (HCP). Aside from many of the individual members releasing solo albums, they have also released material from "Tear Da Club Up Thugs" (a side project) and "Three Six Mafia Presents: Hypnotize Camp Posse" (a Memphis rap compilation). Unfortunately, Three 6 Mafia has also lost many members. Koopsta Knicca left due to a monetary dispute, while La Chat is currently pursuing a solo career. Gangsta Boo is rumored to have converted to Christianity and is interested in gospel music (which she denies, saying that it's a rumor started by her former label mates). Lord Infamous is likely in prison and very possibly under 24-hour lockdown, although Juicy J has said he's on "vacation." T-Rock has parted ways with Three 6 Mafia, and has publicly dissed the entire clique and accused them of shady business dealings in interviews and on his track "Mr. Big Man." Project Pat recently served time in prison for a parole violation, but was released in July 2005.
In 2003, Three 6 Mafia released the album Da Unbreakables, which features collaborations with Lil' Flip, Pimp C, (from UGK), Lil' Wyte, Frayser Boy, Hank Williams, Jr., and Project Pat. The album produced the hit "Ridin' Spinnerz," which featured Lil' Flip.
In 2005, Three 6 Mafia released their highly anticipated new album “Most Known Unknown.” It was notable that Lord Infamous was missing from this album. The generally accepted reason was that he had been incarcerated; however, Three 6 Mafia claim he is on "holiday.” He has since officially returned to Three 6 Mafia recently. The group is said to be associated with the crip gang. They diss the bloods in many of their lyrics.
Three 6 Mafia has always been known for their controversial and sometimes misunderstood lyrics. For example, in the song "Knock the Black Off Yo Ass", they reference the DC Area Sniper Shootings in multiple lines in the song. "I think they better call Bush, 'cause it's a national disaster, when I unleash my pistol-grip Bushmaster." "You can't hide, you can't run. I'm a sniper, ridin' in a blue Chevy, a trunk full of guns, man you hoes ain't ready."
“Stay Fly” was the first single off of The Most Unknown album. The next single released off of the album was "Poppin’ My Collar," which premiered around mid January 2006.
Their song "Late Nite Tip" is favoured by car audio enthusiasts for its deep, rolling bassline and is a stalwart of testing ones sound system also it is known that they sampled many Willie Hutch songs on their album Most Known Unknown
In January of 2006, Three 6 Mafia made history as they became the first African-American hip-hop act to be nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Achievement In Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song). The group was nominated for the song It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp off of the Hustle & Flow soundtrack. The first hip-hop act to actually be nominated for an Academy Award in this category was Eminem in 2002 for the song Lose Yourself off the 8 Mile soundtrack and he also won the award. Three 6 Mafia was credited by their real names in the nomination and not by their group name. Jordan Houston (Juicy J), Cedric Coleman (Crunchy Black), and Paul Beauregard (DJ Paul) were named in the nomination. Terrance Howard, who performed the song in the movie, refuses to perform it at the Academy Awards possibly because it reinforces stereotypes that all black males are pimps.
On March 5, 2006, Three 6 Mafia won the Academy Award they were nominated for, becoming the first African American Hip-Hop group to win an Oscar.
During May Crunchy Black left Three 6 Mafia to go on his own. He is releasing 4 mixtapes and 4 dvds in the near future.
