Vice: Three 6 beats are buck, but they’re dark at the same time. Crunchy Blac: It’s street darkness. It ain’t got nuthin’ to do with no devil worship. It’s just, you know, we like to be more street than anybody else. We like to be a little harder and a little bit darker, like a lot of bass or, you know, scary sounds to go with the raps. You see what I’m sayin’? What about that kind of darkness appeals to you? What role does darkness play in your music? DJ Paul: We dark. How so? DJ Paul: We dark people—we niggers. Oh. OK. Juicy J: No, we just like the evil image. The darkness. The whole thing. Right. I remember back when you were called the Tear the Club Up Thugs, your magazine ads had all kinds of blood and shit, you know? DJ Paul: Before that man, when it first started off, me and Lord Infamous—that’s my brother—we was in a group together called the Serial Killers. I’ve never been to Memphis before. Is it a scary place or something? Crunchy Blac: They pretty cool in Memphis. They show you some love if you come from somewhere else. But if you go to the wrong part, yeah, it’s scary as hell. What would be the wrong part? Crunchy Blac: South Memphis, North Memphis. That’s everything. Crunchy Blac: If you go to South Memphis there ain’t really no good parts unless it’s on South Parkway. There’s a couple record stores there. And then if you’re in North Memphis, there ain’t no parts for you to be in. If I were to come down there anyway, what would I want to do? Juicy J: You would want to go to the strip clubs and get some barbecue. DJ Paul: Yep. Juicy J: That’s what Memphis is about: pork and women. Pork and women? Sometimes at the same time? Juicy J: Pork and women. What do you do back in Memphis on Halloween? Crunchy Blac: It’s so crazy in Memphis, man, some people put stuff in candy. So we don’t really let our kids roam, like Halloween-style. We probably throw a big party somewhere for the kids. Folks be crazy these days. They put stuff in the candy and try to hurt your kids. DJ Paul: In Memphis, on Halloween, everybody throw eggs. They get like 12 or 13 cartons of eggs, throw ’em. Juicy J: Memphis love Halloween. You know, we was the robber capital of the whole country so we need a reason to wear masks and get away with it. If you had to pick out a Halloween costume for yourself right now, what do you think you would go for? Crunchy Blac: The Grim Reaper. Juicy J: If I was going to go trick-or-treating right now for real, I’d get dressed up in all black. I’d wear all black, man. All black with a black Jason mask. I got one of them at the house. You guys make movies. Have you ever thought of making a horror movie? Crunchy Blac: We’ve thought about it. We have a new movie called Cleanup Men. Then we going to work on a couple more like Choices 3, The Return of the Big Cat, and The Streets of Memphis. There will be a little scary stuff in Streets of Memphis. DJ Paul: I want to make a real horror movie, but we don’t know how to act that good. You really gotta know how to act to play like you gettin’ killed. What’s your favorite horror movie? Juicy J: Texas Chainsaw. The original one, right? What’d you think of the remake? DJ Paul: I liked the remake! Yeah, but the original was better because it looked like a real home movie or something. Juicy J: Yeah, yeah. That’s what made it better. It was dark. It was cheap. Crunchy Blac, what would you say is your role in the group? Crunchy Blac: I’m the dancer, I’m the backer-upper, I’m just me, man. Everybody got a role and my role is I’m the gutter one, watching everybody’s back. I can’t do nothin’ fake. I can’t do no pretending. In the “Stay Fly” video, Juicy J you have this shirt on that I really like. It’s black and it’s got green skulls on it. Juicy J: Yeah, I’m gonna put it on eBay. You want to buy it? Maybe. How much is it gonna go for? Juicy J: We’re starting the bidding at $1,500. Where’d it come from? It looks like some weird bootleg Misfits shirt. Juicy J: I don’t know. My stylist guy, he found it from somewhere. WHOADIE ALLEN Three 6 Mafia’s new album The Known Unknowns is in stores now. Its lead single, “Stay Fly,” is probably the best piece of music to come out in 2005.

They are a danger to society. But you probably don't have the guts to print this. Subject: three 6 mafia who?

There music is hella catchy...I know that if it was played in the clubs I would dance my ass off to it, but i aint for that devil worshipin shit.

Subject: 3 6 mafia Date: Feb 24 2006 04:16:13 PM Author: native from new mexico 3 6 are fucking gangstas any body fuckin with three six, their fuckin with native thugz from new mexico. that's how we natives get down with 3 6 Subject: ma ma ma mafia Date: Feb 07 2006 10:14:37 AM Author: The Venomist to all you three six spectators, sideline wathcing, half ass knowledge having imbiciles really need to listen to tree six before any comments are made,i followed them from the very beginning, im from bodymore murdaland(baltimore maryland)east coast and strictly up north but F*@$ with 3-6 more than any up north rappers, i rap my damn self so im critic when it comes to lyrics, three six is not lyrical but has the talent to get lyrical on any track i've heard'm so dj paul and juice man listen out for my LP cuz i mention ya'll alot Subject: koopsta knicca ex 3-6 Date: Nov 28 2005 05:13:02 PM Author: KINFOLK MP MISSISSIPPI I like 3-6 mafia more than any group but koop was favorite. Subject: haha 3-6 is some funny ass ma'fuckaz Date: Nov 18 2005 03:14:46 PM Author: Des from The Killaz one of my favourite 3-6 rhymes is off their collabo with twiztid on twiztid's freekshow album... ah shit i don't even really remember it, but it goes something like this "orgies in the morgue.. something something vocals chords".. orgies in the morgue??! and they claim they ain't down satan. these are my boys. keep keepin it real paul and j Subject: DIDO Date: Nov 03 2005 09:29:03 PM Author: WTF Yea, that is a black ass dude!! Subject: What shitty reportage. Date: Nov 01 2005 01:49:03 PM Author: Indo G La Chat didn't replace Boo, she was on Mystic Styles with Boo then went to Tommy Wright III's label for a bid. Playa Fly referred to her as "That Chatrelle Bitch" in Triple Bitch Mafia. Boo's "mysterious" disappearance from the group was because she got all God-squad and moved to Atlanta, changing her name from Gangsta Boo to Lady Boo. HCP is going down in history as one of the only groups that get more famous by kicking out their more talented members. Subject: i love triple six Date: Oct 30 2005 12:38:45 PM Author: lucas puckett Their beats are spot on. They paint a portrait and the backdrop is memphis! keep it real fellas. Subject: what? Date: Oct 30 2005 12:24:00 PM Author: uhm BONE THUGS INFLUENCE?!?!? The "Live By Yo Rep" EP was a fucking Bone Thugs diss - why? BECAUSE BONE STOLE THEIR (+Skinny Pimp and other Memphis rappers') STYLE! Paul and Juicy + Triple Six had like 20 mixtapes out locally before that came out. Apparently, Easy E got ahold of one of them. "The Return of the Big Cat" - hahah, it's "The Return of Big Pat" as in, Project Pat. And Tear Da Club Up Thugs was just another relatively late side project. They started as Backyard Posse, then there was Triple Six Mafia, then there was Three Six Mafia. I mean, I like that Vice TRIES to show love to Memphis rap every once in a while, but you always get things twisted and it's obvious that you don't really care that much. Letting 8Ball write his own article was a better move than this and the Playa Fly interview nonsense. Subject: ... Date: Oct 29 2005 03:07:03 PM Author: Jesus do you really think a stay at home dad is up at 4:00 in the fucking morning? Jesus fucking crimmeny...nobody fucking says "..Hip Hop music of the negro..."

Thanks for posting your last name, you fucking indifferent stay-at-home dad. Subject: Innapropriate Outlets: A Hip Hop Story Date: Oct 27 2005 04:13:58 AM Author: Arthur B. Coleman I find the "hip hop" music of the negro to be offensive and responsible for the ills of our society. It is not "cool" to engage in druggings and kidnappings as these "hip" artists ostensibly are, and it is most certainly not "cool" to advocate this behavior through any media, be it the televisions or the "video game". Subject: Y Date: Oct 26 2005 06:25:04 PM Author: Dr. DOODOO Muscular Dystrophy is no laughing matter. These three obviously afflicted gentlemen are very brave and I wish them Godspeed. very brave... Subject: bust a train on your meatflaps Date: Oct 26 2005 02:03:28 PM Author: gaping vag hole this is one of the greatest three interviews ever printed in the history of printing.

Date: Oct 25 2005 01:14:03 PM Author: chris "It looks like some weird bootleg Misfits shirt." What a fucking loser. Subject: PUKE Date: Oct 25 2005 11:55:29 AM Author: R.A.Z. This stuff is causing the downfall of Western society. Isn't anyone disgusted by what these imbeciles are talking about? Glorifying crime, unmarried sex, worshipping money, etc. When will America wake up? Have any of these uneducated hoodlums ever contributed something positive to their communities? They will be held responsible...we all will. Subject: suck a nigga's dick Date: Oct 25 2005 09:33:17 AM Author: nat or something Subject: HIM...on the right Date: Oct 24 2005 09:58:30 PM Author: White Girl That is one of the blackest dudes I have ever seen.

Subject: Project Pat Date: Oct 24 2005 04:27:43 PM Author: Deemonie Project Pats solo shit is really where it's at. He is fuckin' hilarious. Any song with him an Lord Infamous is the tits. |
