DJ Paul admits he feels like ‘90s Hip Hop is back with the recent spate of artists who have sampled tracks from Three 6 Mafia’s discography.
During a recent interview with Mass Appeal, DJ Paul cited A$AP Ferg, G-Eazy and Desiigner as some artists who are using Three 6’s music in 2017.
“People just really getting on it,” DJ Paul says. “The fans [have] been on it forever but a lot of people are only just really discovering it. Like, ‘Holy shit, what is this?’ Like it just came out because it goes with what’s going on right now. It’s like the ‘90s are back. We got a lot of kids – shout-out to the whole A$AP crew. A$AP Ferg new single ‘Plain Jane’ [is] fucking killing it right now. That’s a remake of ‘Slob on the Knob.’ The new G-Eazy, he got a little feel of ‘Slob on the Knob’ with A$AP Rocky and Cardi B. Desiigner sampled ‘Tear da Club Up.’ I know some hot, hot rappers in L.A. got Jheri curls. Did you know that Jheri curls is back? Jheri curls [is] back. Hard! I’m like, ‘Dammit!’ I love it because I’m from that age.”
Elsewhere in the interview, DJ Paul spoke on the wide range of influences that inspired Three 6 Mafia’s music.
“The whole East Coast, North East Coast – Public Enemy, LL Cool J, all those guys, [that’s] where I got my sampling techniques from listening to all those guys,” he said. “The bass and the dance of the beats, the bounce and all that came from Luke Skyywalker and 2 Live Crew, DJ Magic Mike and all those guys. The shit-talking came from Willie D, Geto Boys and N.W.A – just saying whatever the fuck.”

Three 6 are legends their influence on today’s hip-hop is on greater than anyother artist or group
The 90’s are coming back as well as well as all of the dope lyricist from the early 2000’s, only older and more mature and it just gets better but honestly speaking as someone that is in the industry, and and someone that respects it, I am happy old school is returning to hip hop and many legend and those who created a trend are resurfacing. I am excited.
Negative, rap music is an embarassment now a days dont ever compare it to the golden era you junk box
All Rap has always been considered negative to the foolish
Really? I don’t know Brodie …maybe mainstream but if you really dug it’s always been positive rap ….remember too shorts “getting it” I say that cause it topped the charts (rap) or dear mama how bout biggies. Juicy or sky’s the limit ? Need I say more? Why not queen latifa or MC Light I can keep going back. . I think that’s your opinion but not all rap was considered foolish….. wait you’re a troll huh? Damn you got me
Right now, rap music is trash, this mumble rap garbage needs to go and fast. I don’t know what he was on during this interview but he needs to get off it asap 🙂
Bruh they were doing that shit in the 90s too. Trap used to be underground exclusively. Only people like Master P and Mafia6 were getting commercial success. I still hate trap to this day and I’m from Memphis.
don’t even try to compare 90’s rap to the crap out today.. Not all of it is crap, there are a few new emcees still carrying the torch and it’s refreshing but they are a limited few.
The 90’s had more than one lane of hip hop music today is WACK and full garbage
