Sorry for the delay in posting! I had this scheduled to auto-post through Patreon, but it looks like it didn't work (and I just got home from an 11 hour drive)
Comments
The lo-fi recorded-in-a-closet sound is definitely part of that 90's sound whether its underground Southern rap, or Norwegian black metal, or whatever else. The influences of this group are still reverberating today, and in a lot of ways that aren't even always obvious (while plenty are plainly obvious.) Overall the Memphis sound, that is on almost stereotypical display in this album, has to be the most underrated and yet influential cornerstones of modern hiphop.

2022-08-04 05:27:41 +0000 UTCNever thought I’d see a suggestion for Season of Da Siccness but I 1000% agree. It’s a Sacramento NorCal classic and one of the best HorrorCore albums of all time and I know Bob would have fun with it

2022-08-01 19:56:22 +0000 UTCI actually think he would love $b because he seemed to like the darker tones of Three Six, but obviously $b has much more intricate production and more interesting lyrics

2022-08-01 15:58:20 +0000 UTCI have been saying this quite a lot. Mystic Stylez is their most famous album but not their best. Chapter 1: The End improves the production quality while keeping the classic feel. It's a big step up. And I recommend Bob react to it at some point. However, at 70 minutes I would not call it condensed. It too would benefit from some cuts.

2022-08-01 05:04:12 +0000 UTCgod this just makes me so excited for you to hear clipping. i know you're going to love them
yeah
2022-08-01 04:20:28 +0000 UTCThis is super classic but a good first dive into 36 would’ve been their second album The End. Higher quality and more condensed how you want

2022-07-31 04:35:40 +0000 UTCYeah I agree with that. That's why I recommend Chapter 1: The End - similar sound but much better sound quality and they had really figured out what they were doing by that point. That's my favourite one. Plus Da Devil's Playground by Koopsta Knicca. There are some others, but I would start with those.

2022-07-30 23:52:22 +0000 UTCIf you want to listen to a much darker, heavier sound that draws largely on Three Six Mafia I would recommend $uicideboy$. I would start with "My Liver Will Handle What My Heart Can't" or "Eternal Grey."

2022-07-30 19:51:43 +0000 UTCAfter their album Chapter 2 World domination their style became more mainstream Crunk and Club bangers instead of the lo-fi horrorcore style which is more influential (and better imo) with that being said if u check out more Memphis I would def listen to Most Know Unknown (2005) after listening to more 90’s like Underground Vol1 and Koopsta’s Da Devil’s Playground

2022-07-30 17:39:57 +0000 UTCMysitc stylez is a bad intro to 36 imo. It really pales in comparison to their later work. They were still amateurish. The difference in their raps and the production quality between that album and later work like when the smoke clears is like going from and old b&w crt to a 4k hdtv.

2022-07-30 14:05:49 +0000 UTCIf u like gangsta boo and three six mafia I’d suggest these : Gangsta Boo - Both Worlds*69, Kingpin Skinny Pimp - King of Da Playaz Ball, Three Six Mafia - Underground Vol.1 & 3, Krucifix Klan - Fuckin Wit Dis Klan and Project Pat Ghetty Green
Cullen Hendricks
2022-07-30 11:57:53 +0000 UTCIf you want to check out something similar in style, I'd highly recommend Brotha Lynch Hung - Season of a Siccness instead of another Three 6 album. Came out a couple of months before this and is even better imo. One of the most unique flows in Hip Hop.

2022-07-30 10:52:26 +0000 UTCI think you would enjoy a Three 6 Mafia album with tighter production. Mystic Stylez has great songs but they are hampered by poor sound quality. I recommend Chapter 1: The End because they kept the foreboding energy of the original but with much bigger and better production. They were able to level up production wise without losing the identity. I am not much of a fan of Chapter 2: World Domination, because they went in a more mainstream direction, and lost the style they had before. The production sounds more expensive but at the same time muddled on a lot of songs. You should also listen to Da Devil's Playground by Koopsta Knicca. That is one of the best solo records (it has features from other members still).

2022-07-30 05:34:37 +0000 UTCU hope you keep doing three 6 because their style switch soooo different from this album lol. This was a VERY early demo like sound they experimented with. Dj Paul & Juicy beats got so much better and complex later on. Also alot of members been kicked out and new ones added etc. But the originals will remain Dj, Juicy, Lord , Boo, la Chat, Crunchy and Project Pat . Next album I suggest is three 6 mafa - Chpt.2 World Domination

2022-07-30 04:36:32 +0000 UTCThis reaction was awesome to see because I just took a road trip for vacation and asked my friends to suggest me some music, with Three 6 Mafia ending up being one of the suggestions. I heard this album for the first time all the way through last week and thought it was such a dope project (Break da Law “95” and Mystic Stylez sound awesome in the car btw). I agree - definitely need more Gangsta Boo! You’re definitely not going to be disappointed with your August setlist. House of Balloons is one of my favorite mixtapes ever - if you go to listen and you see the version with 9 tracks, because The Weeknd released the original version on streaming last year, I strongly recommend having the track “Twenty Eight” off his album “Trilogy” queued up after the final track. “Trilogy” was a compilation album of his first 3 mixtapes, which each had nine tracks, plus one bonus track for each mixtape, and “Twenty Eight” was the bonus track for House of Balloons. Nice video! First one I’ve seen in a while so definitely need to catch up on some but very much looking forward to your next few reactions!
