Underground Vol. I
“Early Three 6 Mafia will always have my heart for helping me develop my own individual music taste as I know it today. With that being said, this compilation is a mixed bag for me. As a whole, it's still as amazing as fuck like it was when I first gave it a listen all the way back in 2009. One thing I'll definitely give DJ Paul and Juicy J credit for is how ahead of its time their eerie and dark atmospheric production was, as it's still influential in modern hip-hop today. However, there's no denying that there are some duds sprinkled throughout this that doesn't sound as good to me as it once did. The worst offender is "Don't Be Scared". I appreciate the pro-condom safe sex message Juicy J preaches (if you want to call it that, I guess?), but the execution of the track was unsuccessful to me. "Fuck All Dem Hoes" and "Niggaz Ain't Barin' Dat" are also tracks that are tolerable while listening to the album from top to bottom, but I wouldn't miss them if they were removed. On the flipside, there are numerous highlights that perfectly capture the 666 Mafia sound they were looking for, such as "Playa Hataz", "Ridin' n' tha Chevy Pt. 2", and "Where's da Bud", all of which are considered underground Three 6 classics among fans. While this compilation grew off of me in recent years, I can definitely see why people would rate this higher than I would. It's kind of hard to say this is terrible, anyway, considering how many songs on here were sampled and reused in future Three 6 Mafia songs and in the industry as a whole.”

Most Known Unknown (Explicit)
“My Favorite Albums of All Time #50: An album that's on my list purely because of how fun it is, Three 6 Mafia's 2005 hit-filled "Most Known Unknowns" contains some of the group's most engaging songs and memorable bars. There's never a time where I'll listen to this album and not laugh out loud at hearing Juicy J say "posted up in the club with a pocket full of craaaack" on Side 2 Side. That's the thing that makes this album special; you've got genuinely hilarious lines across it, but it doesn't take away from the masterfully developed atmosphere of the record. The chemistry between group members and the other members of Hypnotized Minds is unbelievable, better than almost any large posse like this has any business having. Three 6's influence on modern hip-hop touches everywhere from Denzel Curry to Rae Sremmurd, and to me, this is the body of work that captures what makes the group really stand out as one of the all-time greats. Must-Hear Tracks: Swervin' w/ Mike Jones & Paul Wall- This song is the father of all lean-sipping anthems and is in many ways the precursor to some of my favorite sounds of the 2010s cloud rap era, as well as instrumental in paving the way for one of the trap greats, Future. Side 2 Side & Half on a Stack- The two funniest songs on the album that are still hard as hell. They are the testament to the group's ability to walk that line masterfully. Pussy Got Ya Hooked w/ Remy Ma- A strangely perfect song with a beautiful instrumental that pairs an orchestral sample with Remy and the Mafia spitting about doing the nasty, creating this awesome dichotomy that you can't help but be enthralled by.”
