One of Three 6's best.

"Long before Three 6 were proclaiming how fly-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai they are, they were making some of the darkest music found in the hip-hop genre. While it maybe a coincidence that their name is the Three 6 Mafia, as they've profusely stated, that coincidence isn't evident on this release; this stuff is downright creepy. This is the type of music that sends chills down your spine, like a great horror movie.



Are they horrorcore? In ways, yes. In ways, also, no. Their initial style of rapping is far more akin to the Mid-West high-cadence flow, while their lyrics and production are both rooted in horrorcore. Like Esham in Detroit, and Brother Lynch Hung in Sacramento, the Three 6 presented to you some of the most sadistic messages found on wax.



Even though they beefed with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in the past, it's easy for any Bone fan to get into Three 6's music; infact, more so than someone who is a stranger to the multiple cadences found here. They rip through to tracks at lightning fast speed, with hardcore lyrics that just tear the beat to shreds; and DJ Paul and Juicy J sure do provide some amazing production. While the music on this album is of lower-quality(due to poor budget) than their later releases, the homemade sound of the beats actually fit this album like a glove; and there is a hint of the sound that Three 6 would become famous for.



Every song on here is classic, so it's hard to find a standout. If I had to choose some, Live By Yo Rep would definitely be at the top of that list; a scorching diss aimed at Bone, in which Lord Infamous opens the first verses threatening to put thousands of razors in their flesh. Other tracks like F'in' Witdis Click, Break Da Law '95, Porno Movie, Big Bizness, Now I'm High Pt. III, and Long Nite are just a few of the continuous highlights found through the album.



This is a must for any fan of hardcore hip-hop, Southern hip-hop, Mid-West hip-hop, or horrorcore; infact, any fan of hip-hop could appreciate this album. An overlooked masterpiece, and one of the best to ever come from the South."

One of the Best Albums Ever!!!!!!!!

"Every song on here is a classic!! I love this cd to death!! Three 6 Mafia had the evil, dark sound back in 1995 and were on Prophet Entertainment when this came out. This is by far their best album. You will never hear another album like this in your life. This is the best album ever made along with Master P's "Ice Cream Man." This album is definitely not for the kiddies or the faint at heart. For everyone else that likes dark melodies from some tight rappers, get this album now!!! You will not regret it, trust me!!!!!!"

"Well this is a pretty good start for 36 mafia. Everybody did pretty, good for me the best songs are "Break Da Law 95'" "Da Summa" "live By Yo Rep" and one of the tightest joints of all "Mystic Stylez". Only problem they should of just have better equipment to record on that's the reason i gave it a 4 stars. But Lord Infamous steals the show on this junt here, His style is better than all of them. Still a Classic though."
