The rapper "went in peace," Three 6 Mafia's DJ Paul told Commercial Appeal. With all members but J playing an upcoming tour under the new name Da Mafia 6iX, and J himself saying he’s up for a full-band reunion, it looks like new Three 6 Mafia hits might well be on their way.Robert "Koopsta Knicca" Cooper Phillips, a member of the Memphis hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, passed away early Friday after suffering a massive stroke. A couple platinum albums later, along with the mainstream hit, “Stay Fly,” the Mafia rocked the world with an explosive performance and a Best Song win at the 2006 Oscars for “It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp” from "Hustle & Flow." Since then, the group has experienced some lineup changes, and Juicy J has gone on to solo success alongside Lex Luger and Wiz Khalifa. After a string of underground hits, like “Tear da Club Up ’97,” they started gaining popularity. It got the band dubbed ‘horrorcore rap’ and helped pave the way for the whole Dirty South Explosion. A Three 6 Mafia concert is an intense, nasty good time, with the band’s cult following buying up tickets and packing houses, ready to slug sizzup and bump 'n grind to all the band’s classic hits, as well as newer material, like "Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)" and "Feel It." It’s a fanbase the band has built up as one of the longest-running acts in hip-hop.īack in 1995, the Mafia came out of nowhere with "Mystic Stylez," a bloody, psychedelic album with eerie tones, harsh beats and nasty subject matter that's still at the front of their live shows to this day. Three 6 Mafia are a cultural force to be reckoned with - in addition to being cult rap stars, they taught the world to crunk, immortalized cough syrup on “Sippin’ On Some Syrup,” and won an Oscar for showing us that “It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp.” They also put their hometown of Memphis on the hip-hop map – and now it looks like they may be posed for a comeback. I hope there is a proper tour so I can se you all again. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who made it possible Shout out to Juicy J's cousin Ray who help get the mafia back together. Overall I had the time of my life and I count it as one of the best concerts that I have been to and I have been to quite a few. This was a homecoming to Memphis so I witnessed history.
if it we a traditional stage with a set back drop then everyone could see the artists at all times. The concert itself had a lot of energy my only issue is with the triangle/diamond stage the artists had to move around to face the crowd so at times the artist's backs were to me. Juicy J and DJ Paul were very nice and personable especially Paul. The staff was very nice and friendly as well. I liked the merch that I received from the VIP package. The Meet and greet cut into the concert I missed most of the Ying Yang Twinz performance but I was there to meet DJ Paul and Juicy J whom I have met before on different occasions. I wasn't expecting that here because there had to be at least 50 to 75 Meet and greets from my estimation.
I did a Meet and Greet with DJ Paul and Da Mafia 6ix back in 2014 and it was an intimate occasion. I was a part of the Meet and Greet that experience was cool depending on the act Meet and Greets vary. I wish Frayser boy could have been there then it would have been complete. Especially with Juicy J being there That was history in the making right there. Dj Paul, Juicy J, Chrunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, La Chat, Project Pat and Lil Whyte all there. I know almost everything there is to know about them When I heard that there was going to be a reunion concert I marked it on my calendar.
