Three 6 Mafia - When the Smoke Clears MP3 Download

When the Smoke Clears songs Da End furthers the horrorcore style that Three 6 Mafia had unveiled on their cult favorite Mystic Stylez debut, except here the overall tone is one of outright violence rather than eerie ominousness. Moreover, the sound quality here is much improved, as producers Juicy J and DJ Paul lay down the sort of hard-hitting, bottom-heavy beats that would define not only the remainder of their career but that of the entire Dirty South movement that would soon blossom. Much like the very similar Chapter 2 album that would follow within a year's time, the balance here between the underground essence of Mystic Stylez, typified by the horrorcore lyrics and haunting ambience, and the accessibility of latter-day Three 6 Mafia, typified by the markedly improved sound quality and more developed song structures, makes Da End an excellent starting point for the uninitiated. Discriminating consumers, however, should note that several of the better songs here would be reprised on the more widely available Chapter 2. ~ Jason Birchmeier Personnel: DJ Paul (vocals, keyboards, scratches); Juicy J (vocals, scratches).

When the Smoke Clears buy CD music Hailing from Memphis, Three 6 Mafia came up in the southern underground scene, garnering a rabid following as their renown approached nationwide status. CHAPTER 2: WORLD DOMINATION is a bold, ambitious declaration; the title speaks for itself and goes a long way towards explaining what the Three 6 has in store for the unsuspecting public. Though the emphasis is obviously on the group's mesmerizing vocal acrobatics, this is nonetheless a very musical album, filled with rich, snaky bass lines, synth pads, and creative vocal arrangements galore. Comparisons to the tongue-twisting styles of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are inevitable (though Three 6 Mafia claims to be the originator), particularly in the rapid-fire staccato phrasings of "Prophet Posse" as the Mafia trades off lines, giving each a different rhythmic feel. "I Ain't Cha Friend" opens with slowed down, ominous-sounding bible quotations and becomes pure horrorcore, with eerie keyboards and vocals. The battle of the sexes heats up on "Watcha Do," which counters the standard misogyny of rap in a hard-fought war of words featuring Gangsta Boo, Three 6 Mafia's voice of womanhood. As her venomous rap asserts, it's a struggle like any other, and Three 6 Mafia is ready for war. Lyricist: Gangsta Boo.

When the Smoke Clears album for sale As a member of the infamous Three 6 Mafia clique, Project Pat is bound to tear up the club with anything he releases. His third solo album, MISTA DON'T PLAY, is no different. While his previous solo joints received regional praise, the success that the Three 6 Mafia has recently experienced with the hit single "Sippin' on Syrup" is bound to grant him much larger exposure. The lead-off single "Chicken Heads" is Project Pat's new claim to fame. Pat is at his best revelling in the song's pimped out story. Not that the thug anthems "Break the Law" and "We Can Get Gangsta" are missing anything, because they offer the same crunk feel as most Three 6 records.

When the Smoke Clears buy CD music When Three 6 Mafia released Mystic Stylez, the album that's widely seen as their full-length debut, it didn't make too many waves. After all, it was released independently in 1995, a time when indie rap labels struggled to break out of their local markets, and furthermore, the group was from Memphis of all places and their style was far from the mainstream -- very far. Yet years later, Mystic Stylez stands out as a definitive effort, defining not only what the collective would base its future empire upon but also the horrorcore style of hardcore rap that thrived among the underground scenes outside of New York during the era (e.g., Esham in Detroit, Brotha Lynch Hung in Sacramento, etc.). It's one of those albums that came and went during its initial release yet became a cult classic years later. Mystic Stylez became so for several reasons, among them the album's overall eerie tone, producers Juicy J and DJ Paul's Dirty South-defining lo-fi beats, and the group's downright confrontational rhetoric. Throughout the album, Three 6 Mafia embraces one taboo after another, often many at once, mainly violence ("Tear da Club Up"), drugs ("Now I'm Hi, Pt. 3"), sex ("Porno Movie"), and occultism ("Mystic Stylez"). All of this would be sheer exploitation for the sake of exploitation if not for the craft, especially in terms of production. And if you want evidence that there's more to Mystic Stylez than shock value, listen to "Da Summa," a calm moment of respite amid the thundering chaos that very well could be seen as the Memphis underground version of "It Was a Good Day" or the countless other laid-back summertime anthems of the mid-'90s. For the most part though, Three 6 Mafia is hell-bent here, literally, and that in itself was novelty enough for its time. Years later, in the wake of the successive Dirty South explosion, you can trace back the influence of Mystic Stylez, as a myriad heedless Southerners began throwing 'bows, blazing hydro, and embracing taboos left and right. In fact, even latter-day Three 6 Mafia became a replica of itself, as they continually strived to retain the underground essence of their own beginning. [Several reissues over the years have jumbled the original track listing a bit (adding EP tracks like "Live by Yo Rep," for instance) and altered the cover art, so it's worth shopping around. In particular, the 2001 Hypnotize Minds reissue features remastered sound and is recommended.] ~ Jason Birchmeier Additional personnel includes: Wayne Tucker (bass); Archie Luv, Ann Hines. Three-6 Mafia includes: DJ Paul (keyboards); Juicy J.

When the Smoke Clears songs This offering from the premier Memphis hip-hop crew can be seen as something of a concept album. As the title indicates, it deals with the choices one makes in life, specifically those choices made by the young urbanites that are the group's main audience. "Baby Mama," which was previously heard on the soundtrack to the John Singleton film BABY BOY, is a perfect example, an unwed-parents scenario that delves into juvenile court, child support, sugar daddies, and parental irresponsibility. "Gangsta Niggaz" represents another lifestyle choice that's all to prevalent in ghetto life, as the Mafia examines the contradictions inherent in the violent, often short life of a street criminal. The forceful rapping style and hard-hitting beats that run throughout CHOICES help the group's messages reach their targets quite effectively.
