DJ PAUL Talks 3-6 Mafia History, The Deaths Of Lord Infamous And Koopsta Nicca, And Master Of Evil

DJ Paul stopped by Hot 1079 to chop it up with B High about his latest project and tour "Master Of Evil". During the conversation Paul also discusses the origins of 3-6 Mafia, what it was like running a major independent label, creating music with UGK, Cash Money, and Outkast. Furthermore, DJ Paul discusses the untimely deaths of group members Lord Infamous and Koopsta Nicca.

[@Johnnydoe33]

Best DJ Paul interview B High didn't get into no drama just the legacy that's what we care about !! Paul seem humble even as a legend! 💯

[@meleepinata]

3-6 came up in a time when you had to stay hungry, work tirelessly, and care about your craft. They paid their dues. The south wasn't even getting respect for hip hop at the time but they kept grinding. I've got mad respect for these guys. You won't hear new artists telling these kinds of stories. The games changed.

[@andrewilliams2139]

It didnt matter when you can sell 200 thousand out of your trunk you dont need Sony. I was surprised when they signed that deal because their albums and tapes were in our stores like regular signed artist in the south near Memphis. Even Unsigned artist from Memphis like playa fly had full card board cut outs of them and the albums release dates at the music stores around here and he had left 3-6 mafia and that album sold like 200 thousand underground.

[@jaroncontreras2783]

Salute to the interviewer for actually making the interview about the artist, and not about the radio station promotion.

[@bigdbo4978]

Me and my brothers owned a used car dealership in Memphis in the 90s and DJ Paul came by with Crunchy Black and 3six they wanted a brand new PT cruiser and a Prowler. DJ Paul and 3Six were so down to earth and respectfull. They really supported Memphis businesses including ours which was black owned

Paul is the man, always been curious about hearin him speak on evil pimp. Listnin to ya'll talk about people bringin memphis style music around and keepin it alive these days immediately made me think of him...i think he stays more true to that sound than anyone these days. Just imo.

[@KoolGNasBlackThought]

didnt they have beef? evil pimp is dope but he steals a lotta music from 90s memphis artists, you can call it paying homage or whatever but im sure the creators of the music dont appreciate it cuz i doubt pimp is paying them royalties. paul did the same shit with squeeky and zirk tho so idk

[@jameson2916]

Evil Pimp just straight up steals Memphis artists style like K-Rock, Lord Infamous, and and Project Pat. It's one thing to use the Memphis sound but you can't just straight up take peoples whole style, annunciation, cadence, and delivery.

Paul has squashed his beefs with most of Memphis (Squeeky, Zirk, Blac, Skinny, Gotti, etc.). Fly is really the only one who really won't bury the hatchet (on one hand can't blame hand but on the other hand you do come off looking petty). I won't include Boo leaving Da Mafia 6ix because almost everyone (group members and fans who went to their shows) said her attitude stank. Even Chat has distanced herself from her

They didn't believe that I knew that music. We got on the bus one day to go to the range, the bus driver put on hot 107 and the whole bus went crazy. We hadn't heard any music at all in 2 months. Ended up rapping and dancing, bullshiting with all the guys. The bus driver realized it meant a lot, so everytime we got on the bus from there on, he played that hot 107, loud.
