Three six mafia albums list
The beat reminds me of old Cam’ron/Dipset, which probably makes sense because that would have been the big sound around the time that this dropped.” 9. It was a Three 6 pop record and it’s definitely a nostalgic one. “At the time, this one was almost like a guilty pleasure. It’s a shame that these two don’t really work together now but I’m sure they have their reasons.” 8. All of the DJ Paul & Juicy J tapes had those extra tasty sample chops. I can’t remember off the top of my head what song the sample is from, but the way this whole song dresses up that sample sounds really good in that rough DJ Paul way. When I was lucky enough to work with him I also found out he’s a really humble and nice guy.” 7. I wanted to make sure I got an exclusively DJ Paul selection in this list because it seems like he really pioneered the whole Three 6 sound with his brother (Lord Infamous).
You could maybe call this one of the more ‘feelgood’ classic Three 6 records. “I always liked the Isley Brothers and the ‘Summer Breeze’ sample sounds perfectly imperfect on this track. Lord Infamous & Crunchy Black – ‘Twist It, Hit It, Lite It’ This song represents that real Three 6 sound.” 6. It has that signature rough tape recording sound and an icy repeating vocal hook sample. “This and the whole ‘Come With Me To Hell (part 1)’ tape is important. This song gets me hyped up every time.” 5. It’s just this tough, rolling beat with lots of heavy quotes repeating all through it. “I like how this is a rap song without even having a verse. DJ Paul & Lord Infamous – ‘Paul Wit Da 45’ The hook and the beat in this have the sound of a whole lot of songs that followed from other big time artists, and it’s still heard everywhere.” 4. “This is a good example of how influential Three 6 was. Honestly, it took me a few listens to get it, but when I got it, there was nothing better for a long time.” 3. I remember hearing this and thinking about how raw the production was and how Lord Infamous’s part on it was so different to anything I was into at the time. I’m pretty sure I got shown it by my cousin. “I think this might be the first Three 6 song I ever heard. Three 6 Mafia – ‘Now I’m High, Really High’ I can’t remember if DJ Screw officially chopped and screwed it (he probably did) but if it’s a little later in the evening, then I’m searching out those dodgy YouTube slowed and throwed versions.” 2. Every time I eat prawns I think of that line ‘we eat so many shrimp’ and I feel like the man.
It’s one that if you have it playing in your headphones while you’re walking around, you’ll start walking that little bit cooler. I don’t condone opiates but this song goes hard.
“It’s the most obvious choice, but this is definitely the anthem for a reason. Following this, and ahead of his forthcoming album ‘Voices’, the beatmaker has shared his ten favourite cuts that the sizzurp-loving group – and its varying members – have gifted the world. Though Kamandi himself is from the southern hemisphere, much of his sound is rooted in the beat-scene of LA and the bass of the UK, with the multi-talented artist cementing the notion that these days genres can easily traverse geographical borders.Īnother highly-coveted collaboration that Kamandi’s been able to add to his CV is that of Tennessee crunk outfit Three 6 Mafia, who he’s a huge fan of – producing ‘Mischief’, a track that featured the group’s DJ Paul as well as Azizi Gibson. It’s something of a surprise, then, to think that he’s been tapped up by a wealth of hip-hop royalty, from Chance The Rapper to Riff Raff to Waka Flocka Flame, for production. Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, Kamandi’s production sounds can be slotted in somewhere in the midst of George Fitzgerald, Bicep and Four Tet.
