Memphis, Tennessee rap ensemble Three 6 Mafia may have come across as quite the passionate group at the start of their rap career, but according to Project Pat, the group was very much about their business. During an interview this week with Columbus’ Power 107.5, the rapper commented on the Academy Award-winning group as well as Three 6 Mafia member Juicy J, who he says was an artist who was “all business” and helped create Hypnotized Minds.
Project Pat further addressed the business mindset of the group and revealed that despite what fans may have thought, the members of Three 6 Mafia were only friends when business was concerned.
“Well see, what people don’t understand is Juicy J was the brain behind the whole Hypnotized Minds. He was the brain. Juicy was always the one getting everybody up out of bed. Juicy was always the one telling me stay focused, don’t get into—Juicy’s business, he’s not personal. All business,” Pat revealed. “And a lot of people they like, ‘What about Three 6 Mafia?’ I mean, you know, we just work with them. I mean, that’s all that was, just work. People wanted us to be friends. We was friends, you know, as part of the business. But after the business is over—if I see somebody, ‘what’s up,’ but that’s it.”
The Three 6 Mafia co-founder later stressed the importance of money as a determining factor in what eventually led to his pursuit of a rap career.
“I got into the rap cause of the money…I’m trying to get that bag. Nothing else. Ain’t nobody talking about nothing else. It’s what motivates you. Everybody ain’t the same,” Project Pat explained. “You can’t stand on my head because I don’t have a quote-on-quote passion for the art of the rap music. I never said I didn’t have no passion for it, but the money is the motivator.”

Wow… Luckily I’ve never gave him money by buying any of his trash ass music
They really didnt need your money anyway, their music is better than alot of your favorite artist, I guess that is why they are one of the few groups still surviving from the 90s
nigga the only one relevant now is juicy j…thanks to wiz
No dumbfuck this music is worse than the trash out today.
Of course Pat is going to take Juicy J’s side & sell wolf tickets in his favor. That’s his BROTHER. Whether it’s true or not…I wouldn’t be soooo quick to take his total word for it. I like both D.J. Paul & Juicy J & their both good respectively at what they do!!!

One ugly looking moth.. -so-called-man-having-sex-with-his-mom-guy. Terrible rapper.
Much respect to Pat cus he a real street nigga, but lyrically dude is wack, some of his hooks sounded good but thats as far as id go.
Pat’s albums are some of the best examples hip hop ever made. No one like him. Same goes for a lot of the Hypnotize Minds albums. I wish he’d come to Australia – I’d be happy to throw some money his way.
Project Pat is the shit
project pat care about the money of course he is a professional looking to get paid.
project pat is also an original and developed a style unlike anyone else. in fact, ppl been using pat flows and delivery for years now, without even knowing they lifted it from pat.
3 6 put it down and made their mark. did it real big. juciy j still goin doing his new thing and paul is still tryin to give the die hards what they want. how can you not see these guys are serious about their business. it’s been that way since day 1.
stfu… nobody using project pat style…they stole it from Bone anyways.
