But they weren’t the first in their home city to curate a style around that sound. Three 6 tend to receive a lion's share of the praise for being early to menacing 808s, brutal bass, and jackhammer hi-hats as the canvas for their barbaric imagery. It makes sense for trap’s flagship producer to be a child of the Mafia's horrorcore era-the very trap sound Metro is using to dominate the planet was born in Memphis. This is the Triple Six that also raised and bears a heavy influence on a surging Miami rap movement pioneered by artists like Denzel Curry and SpaceGhostPurrp. The short clip previews the FrightFest trap reminiscent of early DJ Paul and Juicy J production.
Louis-born producer tweeted two years ago, along with a video attached. “I grew up on Three 6 Mafia,” the acclaimed St. Metro Boomin was only two years old in 1995 when Three 6 Mafia released their debut album, Mystic Stylez. It was in those years where Three 6 Mafia achieved their timelessness by ushering in a sound far ahead of its time. The 15 years predating their arrival to the Oscars wasn’t time wasted. ” -" DJ Paul on why Three 6 Mafia is forever and the origin of the #WhoRunIt Challenge" Man, I'm like this is making me feel old out of this motherfucker. It's a lot of songs coming out that's sampling Three 6 Mafia. So we clear like three samples a week, sometimes I would do three in a day.
“We clearing so many samples right now, that's another thing I haven't told anybody yet, we clearing so many samples now that my lawyer had to hire two extra paralegals to come in, just to help us get all of it done fast enough. In all of these cases, the DNA of the songs resurfacing is in natural synergy with the sound of today. There are no wrinkles on the bloodthirsty riff or signs of age on the heavy drums the beat sounds like a new behemoth and not an old fossil. Those who remember the Mafia’s 2005 mean-mugging club anthem “Side 2 Side” will identify the electrifying keys that add another layer of vibrancy to Rae Sremmurd’s “Powerglide,” which, of course, features Juicy J. Project Pat’s classic " Chickenhead" single was sampled and interpolated on the similarly-titled "Bickenhead," but it's Cardi B who transforms a deep-fried Southern classic into a universal bop for the ages with her infectious vocal performance. G Herbo's freestyle over “ Who Run It” revived a 19-year old artifact from the days of Crunk past. “Slob On My Knob” has stood the test of time as a cult classic since its 1999 remaster and re-release, but no one foresaw the raunchy record becoming what Rolling Stone recently called the most influential rap song of 2018. A$AP Ferg’s “ Plain Jane” and G-Eazy’s “ No Limit” are commercially successful, roof-torching records released in 2017 but built upon a blueprint first made in 1993: Juicy J’s “ Slob On My Knob.” To read the song title and not hear Future’s helium voice in 2018 is nearly impossible the Atlanta melody maestro recently engraved the phrase into the heart of Jay Rock’s highest charting single, “ King’s Dead,” and subsequently into the minds of a new generation of rap listeners. It’s not a resurgence rooted in reinvention, but resurrection. 12 years after “ Hard Out Here for a Pimp” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, Three 6 Mafia is having a second coming of worldwide conquest.
