It look likes we probably gonna go down in history as the most sampled outside of James Brown.

When we finished our albums, we always made sure there was something on there for everybody: the strippers, trappers, people that were going through shit, everybody.ĭo you think Three 6 is the most influential rap group of all time? It goes from the emo kids to the straight hip-hop kids. People always love music with feeling and we put the feeling in our music. That'll never leave, that'll never go nowhere. The kind of music we made - we made horror music. I knew once somebody popular sampled it, like an A$AP member, then it would be on because they always talk about us in interviews and stuff like that. But I knew it would come back because I've been so strong in the underground and saw the support and love that everybody had for it. In 2016, I was doing the whole Year of the Six album and I thought that would be the time because I knew it was coming. I've seen all of this happening because I've been trying to keep the sound alive forever. Why do you think it's coming back around so strongly right now?Įverything comes back at some time. We've seen so much direct Three 6 Mafia influence in rap over the past six or seven years but it seems like even more high profile artists have taken on the duty of paying homage in 2018. We didn’t if it was gonna work but it worked like a muhfucka. Coming off of “Tear da Club Up” and “Push Em Off” and stuff like that, we came out with something all the way left from crunk. This was the time when crunk was hotter than ever and we created crunk and then, all of a sudden went a total different direction with the singles. We did, but we were also nervous about the single, “Sippin’ On Some Syrup,” because it was different for us - it was slow. Do you see that a turning point in your career? When The Smoke Clears charted higher than any previous Three 6 Mafia album.
