Fans of Memphis rap legend Juicy J were pleasantly surprised to see his memorable song “Slob On My Knob” trending on Apple Music on Sunday (September 10).
The record was a staple of Juicy J’s mixtape days but got a wider release on the 1999 album CrazyNDaLazDayz, the sole LP by Three 6 Mafia spin-off group Tear Da Club Up Thugs. Although the track wasn’t a chart-topping hit, it became a cult classic.
“That was a song I wrote when I was in 11th grade,” Juicy J told Complex in 2011. “I was in a history class with this dude named Papa Owens, at North Side High School.”
“Every time I perform, whether it’s Japan, Italy — wherever — I have to perform that track,” he told Vibe Magazine in 2014. “They know it, word for word.”
Fans on Twitter shared their collective excitement — and surprise — about the classic song’s resurgence. Here’s a sample of the reaction below.
The sharp rise in the song’s popularity over the last 24-48 hours might be attributed to DJ Tommy Madera. The Florida-based DJ posted the following video showing a transition between the song and A$AP Ferg’s “Plain Jane,” which pays homage to the classic, borrowing flows and even reworks some of the bars.
Likely not as prevalent a reason but still worth noting is Genius, who pointed out that G-Eazy also borrowed some game from Juicy J, reworking “Slob On My Knob” bars on his new single “No Limit” from the upcoming album The Beautiful & Damned.
No matter what the catalyst was, the song is back in rotation. If you haven’t heard it in a while or never even knew it existed before now, give it a spin.
Trippy!
Somebody told me that slob is a derogatory word for members of the bloods, and that this song was recorded as disrespect because Three 6 were crips. I’ve always found that pretty difficult to believe, does anyone know if it’s true?
If you dont know the connection to crips then lmao indeed young fella. I think its just a rumor though..
if u think three 6 are crips or crips are that prevalant in memphis, than lmao even harder indeed big bro
M.O.B
Slob on my knob and neighborhood how are classics!!
Is Tommy Madera a dude??
*hoe
Social media is a mf
Well, one of the worst songs of the 90’s
Obviously you don’t even know that much about the 90’s, and the history of hiphop.
I consider this song as completely trash. That’s my opinion. Stop being a sensitive pussy.
“squeeze on my nuts; lick on my butt; the natural curly hair please don’t touch…”

If your a true Three 6 Mafia fan, you’ll know the original verse was on “Watcha Do” from Chapter 2: World Domination Album!
