Arby’s has drawn the ire of Juicy J over allegedly using an uncleared Three 6 Mafia sample in a commercial. The veteran rapper/producer wondered aloud about taking action against the fast food chain in a since-deleted tweet on Tuesday (October 13).
“Good morning!” he wrote. “I Just found out Arby’s used a three 6 sample in their commercial with out clearing it hmmmmmmmmmm.”
Juicy J seems to be referencing a 2017 ad from Arby’s promoting the triple thick brown sugar bacon sandwich. The commercial included the repeating of “triple thick” in a style reminiscent of Three 6 Mafia’s “Now I’m Hi” series of songs.
Tracks such as Koopsta Knicca’s “Now I’m Hi Pt. 2” and Three 6 Mafia’s Mystic Stylez cut “Now I’m Hi Pt. 3” used the lines the Arby’s campaign seemingly mimicked. Each hook featured the lyrics, “Triple six, triple, triple six, smoked out/Now I’m high, really high, mane, I’m about the south.”
Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J & DJ Paul Sue $uicideboy$ For Illegally Sampling A Whopping 35 Songs
While Juicy J didn’t threaten to sue Arby’s, he and DJ Paul have been very litigious about the unauthorized use of Three 6 Mafia’s work.
Last month, the two sued the $uicideboy$ for allegedly sampling 35 tracks without permission. Trippie Redd and Travis Scott have also faced the legal wrath of the Memphis Hip Hop pioneers for copyright infringement.
Check out the Arby’s commercial that apparently caught Juicy J’s attention and compare it to Three 6 Mafia’s music below.
Reach
man reeeaaaching
Imagine having hella money and being famous then 10 years later you tweet ridiculous stuff like this to try to get some attenion and a possibly a little money dude might just as well say he gave up on trying to make money off any new music cause no one buys that crap anyway
I hate that there are individuals in the universe that are incompetent as you.
It’s at the end of the commercial, the “yeah hoe”
Forgot to mention. They have the wrong commercial on this article smh lol
aint no reach, yall heard that yea hoe in the commercial, aint personal just business. you can never have too much money to keep gettin what ur owed, but i expect niggas with no money to say its a reach.
The whole point is he will get nothing from Arby for his yeah yeah bs it was from 5 years ago now he just looks like every other broke rapper that fell off thats out here tryin to scam someone for a buck. End of story
Lol dude hasn’t fell off…. and he just sent a tweet, just putting Arbys, and anybody else who uses a three six sample without clearing, that you need to get clearance first. Who works for free??
