Unfortunately, Three 6 Mafia has also lost many members. 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). Its stable of affiliated rappers is called "Hypnotize Minds" or the "Hypnotize Camp Posse" (HCP). Three 6 has expanded its operations considerably. 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. The problems between the two groups were eventually settled in family court in June 1996.Įventually, 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!").

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). 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). 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. The group has had a number of disputes with former allies, namely Playa Fly, Gangsta Blac, and Skinny Pimp. 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.


They did this because radio stations supposedly refused to play the songs of a group whose name included a reference to the number 666. 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. It had recorded this album by using the profits from its highly successful underground tape Smoked Out, Loced Out. In 1995, the Memphis underground rap group, then named "Triple 6 Mafia", released its first official album, Mystic Stylez. They are famous for being pioneers of the crunk sound, as well as being the first rap artists from Memphis to go platinum. 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. Project Pat is signed to their label along with Lil' Wyte. The group now consists of only Juicy J and DJ Paul, who also serve as in-house producers. 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. Three 6 Mafia is an American hip hop group from Memphis, Tennessee.
