Triple Six
Mafia has put out a greatest hits CD from their
Prophet Entertainment days, which took place in
the mid to late 90's, which saw some of the best
albums ever released by Memphis artists.
"Da Summa"
appeared on
Mystic Stylez (A must own) It's a real laid
back track about kickin it in the summer.
The song has verses by DJ Paul, Koopsta Knicca,
Lord Infamous & Juicy J. Definately a classic
track that had to be on this collection.
Up Next is "Gettem
Crunk" from
The End (Three 6 Mafia CD - 1997) This is a
very uptempo throw an elbow type of track.
MC Mack, Lord Infamous, Juicy J, Gangsta Boo & DJ
Paul appear on this song.
"Throw Yo
Sets In Da Air" is from their EP "Live
By Yo Rep: Bone Dis" hmm. whatever happened to
Bone? That EP is probably Three 6's rarest CD
Release as it wasnt a full release, definately
worth checking out. This isnt even the best track
from it and it's a tight ass track.
"Smoked Out
Loced Out" is from
Prophet Posse: Body Parts. They've
remade this song about 5 times now, dating back to
1994. I always loved these click songs that
featured about 10 of the Prophet members, it's
something that I looked forward to from every
album back then. K-Rock, Lord Infamous,
Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, Juicy J, Project Pat &
DJ Paul drop verses on this song.
"Gotta Touch
Em" is definately one of Three 6 Mafia's best song
and had to be on this collection. It's from
Mystic Stylez. This song features their
patented hardcore, scary sound and some top knotch
verses along with a sampled hook. This time
from Gangsta Blac "Psycho in the cut, with a mask
and a pistol grip"
I assumed
"Late Nite Tip" was gonna be on here as it was one
of their earliers hits, It is of course on here,
I've always hated this song. It's just aint
Three 6 Mafia to me. It signified the
beginning of the end of the underground Three 6
Mafia and the starting point of mainstream Three 6
Mafia.
Up next is
"Triple Six Club House" which is a song from
Prophet Posse: Body Parts. The song is
performed solely by Lord Infamous and what I
really love about the track is that the beat
changes halfway through to some classical shit.
"Good Stuff"
is from
The End, like alot of rap coming out of
Memphis in the 90's and even currently it's
devoted to drugs. Most predominantly,
cocaine. It's almost impossible to listen to
a memphis rap CD from the 90's without hearing a
reference to personal use of cocaine. It's
comparable to syrup in Houston. Great track
with a real nice verse from Juicy J & Koopsta
Knicca.
Some other
notables are "Tear Da Club Up", "Wheres Da Bud" &
"Porno Movie"
A Prophet Greatest Hits collection should contain
songs from all or most of their releases on
Prophet. Where's a Gangsta Blac song from "Can
It Be"? ("Down Wit SPV", "Where I Dwell" or
"Tire Shop") Where's a Skinny Pimp song from "King
Of Da Playaz Ball"? ("One Life 2 Live" or "I
Dont Love Em") Why not a track from The Kaze's CD
"Kamakazie"?
Three 6 Mafia have dropped alot of underground
CD's and Greatest Hits CD's and unfortunately as
always the great contributions from previous
members have vanished into oblivion. It's a godamn
shame.
This is a
2-disc set. The 2nd disc is chopped and
screwed by DJ Black and is basically worthless.
Yea it would've nice to hear their old classics
chopped and screwed, but its not done very good.
Would've been better to have some more old
classics on here. I'm sure they'll do a
volume 2. After all, they are smart
businessmen.
If you dont
have alot of Three 6 Mafia and are interested in
getting some of their old songs, definately pick
this one up, do yourself a favor though.
Pick up every release by Prophet Entertainment.
As well as Super Sigg Records (Playa
Fly &
Gangsta Blac) |
