![]() ![]() ∻ody Parts 3 follows, and its disjointed rhythm becomes rather grating. If it werent for Tech N9ne and his lightning fast rhyming, this song would be a total bore (he rhymes evidence and elephants while talking about orgies). The song is literally about taking shots the chorus merely states, Im a take shots until the day I die/Shots after shots/More!. It’s highly probably we’ll see trashy bar owners playing it late-night to make insecure girls get naked. That doesn’t mean the song isn’t downright moronic. Shots After Shots features Tech N9ne, who actually has all the best raps on the album. Please note that those are not his exact words. Meanwhile, rhymes are spat about a dancing girl (most likely a stripper) and how she makes the narrator tingly in his pants, which leads to the nail biting mystery on how he’ll obtain the required sexual access. Shake My featuring Kalenna is another single off the upcoming record, where this girl chants throughout the duration of the song that she likes to shake her house. It’s reasons like this that a) we have parental advisory stickers (do we still?) b) we have protest groups and c) so many feminists are opposed to hip hop. Lil Freak is a song with a chorus about a girl from Hollywood who likes to suck dick (∺ long dick all like/Uh uh uh). At least the production on these songs is immaculate they had to leave room for creativity somewhere. But the lyrics are barely audible, and the ones I can manage to make out are about rolling up to the club and being famous. The next song is Stay Fly/Aerodynamic, which has a hopping beat that sounds like a factory in fast motion. While Tiësto, indeed, does keep his style present throughout the song, the lyrics consist of little more than ∻reak it down/to the ground, and, ∽J turn the music up/I want to feel it/Oh oh. And that goes on for five minutes. The song features Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, and the King of DJs himself, Tiësto. The first song we hear, after an overexcited introduction, is ∿eel It, one of the upcoming albums (of the same title, with no intended release date as of now) first singles. With an award of that caliber, you’d expect the group to consistently deliver quality material, but I assure you that on Laws of Power, this is not the case. With Laws of Power, a new mix tape from the legendary Three 6 Mafia, now composed of just DJ Paul and Juicy J, it’s hard to believe that the rap duo won an Academy Award (actually, the first African-American group to do so since Isaac Hayes). This is not to say some Southern rappers arent talented (Outkast exists for a reason), but the majority of dirty, dirty dribble you hear on the radio, at frat parties, and in your neighbors car (who only listens to music for its excessive bass) is relatively bogus. These elements include an overtly complex beat with lots of bass and an obnoxious hook, a catch phrase that’s repeated throughout the duration of the song (either about sex, smoking weed, drinking heavily, or killing people), lots of yelling, sleepy rhyme schemes, and a guest appearance. For the most part, Southern hip hop consists of a few key elements which, when mixed correctly, have the potential to make both a lot of money and a shitty song. “Hard Out Here For a Pimp” earned them an Academy Award (!!!) for Best Original Song in 2006, as the world woke up to their impact.Rap from the Dirty South has begun to take over the airwaves in a way no musical enthusiast could have ever seen coming. A string of party-starting, genre-defining singles would follow, as well as arguably their biggest legacy: the rise of trap music, which would spread from the Deep South across the country. They became progenitors of hip-hop’s blinged-out crunk phase, defined by the trunk-rattling When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1. As the group entered the new millennium, the murky, horror-inspired sound that began with their 1995 underground classic, Mystic Stylez, would reach a global audience. Even before the Backyard Posse linked up with Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo and Crunchy Black, they all were already dynamic MCs, producers and DJs with a deep catalogue of locally distributed cassettes. The throughline among them? A dedication to the art and science of rap music. But like supervillains, each of the six Mafia members has an origin story worth its own book. Their story as a collective traces back to 1991, when Memphis-based brothers DJ Paul and Lord Infamous formed the Backyard Posse with Juicy J. Their blood-curdling, progressive proto-trap and machine-gun flows have soaked into and defined the contemporary consciousness of hip-hop and pop. It’s hard to imagine what music would sound like today without Three 6 Mafia. ![]()
