DJ Paul don't sugar coat nothing. He's being real and letting people know the true in's and out's of the music business. It's not for everyone but if you truely want something you have to work your ass off to get it.

[@zetroc817tx]

Best dj in hip hop PERIOD!!!!!! GREW UP ON THIS MUSIC! MUCH LUV TO TRIPLE SIX FROM TX

[@Watchaknow702]

legends! made their own beats, raps, and style.

[@MelodicMizeryRecords]

man i still have all my cassettes i made my demos on i was doing the same thing as him but a little later about 1999, alot of people did all around the world who couldnt afford a real studio. i use to take a hand held tape recorder and a boombox with 2 tape decks. i would use the 2 tape decks to record a sample, then record that same sample like 100 times lol it took forever but then id have a instrumental since nobody really had computers yet. (about 3 years later i got a 300mhz computer which i would again do the same thing paul did, used samples, and then started doing my own beats etc.) so before that with the boombox id play the instrumental on my boombox and record into the hand held voice recorder and thats how i did my demos and got popular round the neighborhood. about 6 years later i did concerts for 7 years. i did music from around 2001 to 2012 underground just opening for every famous person who came through the city. i met crunchy and dj paul last year, their some cool dudes i gave them some masks. in 2012 i got tinnitus from working on music to much and had to take a break. the main club of our city ended up getting tore down for a college to expand and i got sick with breathing issues and i just never returned. i think i woulda did alot better if i actually wasnt poor lol. at the time i got popular was right before myspace came, i didnt have the proper money to manufacture what i needed or invest and there was a small transition period when people went from free webpages to myspace where people were buying underground cd's alot online. after that the internet pretty much destroyed anyway to make money off music, i coulda sold the cassettes but since i just had started i didnt think they were good enough and just gave them out and tons of people dubbed them. i still did alright though. i got a wall full of memories

[@iambetterthanHLG]

MelodicMizeryRecords damn, maybe you still couldve done it. And could do it. The people who make real fire beats will always get respect.

[@youngyogin17]

DJ PAUL TALKS ABOUT HIS STRUGGLES IN THE HIP HOP BUSINESS! INSPIRATIONAL!!

[@derrickforeal]

Is baffles me that growing up in Seattle I was only about 6 months behind these guys listening to their work as it came out being able to buy it at the shops and to know that they were independently pushing about mystic stylez the end all the greats literally a month or two after the original release date all the way up in the outskirts of Seattle Washington

[@MemphisUnderground94]

@kingdarius5ifty Lord Infamous wasn't a devil worshiper. None of them were. Lord Infamous just came up with the idea to rap about the devil because according to a interview from like 2008 he said "what is worse than a gangsta? A devil worshiper". He wanted to be harder than everyone else. Juicy J even said on a Interlude from his tape "Vol.9MM:It's On" "For people who say Triple Six Mafia devil worshipers: you wrong ma nigg. You are".

[@DOOMSHOPRECORDS]

[@hippa2dahoppa2]

thats crazy back in 1999 thats exactly what i use to do with music on a cassette deck i would loop instrumental parts and then with a hand held tape recorder sing over it. now 10 years later ive got to do shows with everyone i grew up listening to with alot of hard work and dedication

You failed. in with the old, out with the new.

@ANthcNy7 LMAO with your comment... Projection Patrick XD

[@NajibZafarElbey]

@ac1dchr15t From my understanding Paul and Juicy weren't paying their artist right. What baffles me about this though is the fact that Lil Wyte is still there? It's kinda hard to go back with somebody especially when/if they've screwed you out of money. Anyway much love to 3-6 I grew up on that shit

[@jrprince917]

listen to 7:00/7:52 in other words keep the haters the f from around you

[@impalass5]

@cadidaddy no doubt him and juicy r the best

[@nomad13ify]

paul is high

[@Guerrillachop]

@mrchamp316 dj Paul and juicy j aren't beefing they doing there solo projects now due to that Sony deal they can't do much as a group unless under contract meaning Sony controls mostly what kinda music they are gonna do..n besides most of the ex members gone so solo projects is a good idea

[@FateUnderground]

Whats that shiny stuff on the side of his face. Is it piercings or something?

[@MartyThaCatWitThaGat]

@lordjoyous what youve been drinking on?

[@MartyThaCatWitThaGat]

@MemphisUnderground94 dont know why he ripped that devil shyt! Lord Infamous was the only who made sumthin like christian crunk (when God calls time out) in the same album rippin all that eerie thang. Hes just sumthin like christian with damaged mind.

[@BenPorter904]

and i prefer "devil shyt" over lame shit. lord infamous is still satanic, koopsta too. Dj paul is too, just go check out Dj pauls solo album with lord infamous that was released a year ago.lil wyte is getting into it. him and lord infamous dropped a song "187 invitation" a remake from the classic. three 6 mafia chose money over originality.

[@All.Fathers]

dj paul and juicy j have beed really what happen?

[@TheClanCloudSeven]

ifucks wit almost the whole original posse but why this nigga paul talking bout god hes in triple six mafia thas funni

[@cybergorilla61101]

[@PitBullRa19h666]

i no itll be cool but dude keep dreaming because it will NEVER happen, even tho lord infamous officially returned to three 6 mafia for there upcomin album
