If you would’ve told Three 6 Mafia that they would go down in history as the first Rap group to secure a win at the Academy Awards for Best Original Song, they would be hard-pressed to believe it. The Memphis crew knew they were destined for great things, but snagging an Oscar wasn’t something anyone in the Rap industry could have imagined for the collective. In 2006, Three 6 Mafia took home their statues for their “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” song from Hustle & Flow, and recently, DJ Paul caught up with Variety to reflect on the mindblowing moment in music and film history.
“It was fifteen years ago, and I still don’t believe it,” said Paul. A standout moment from their Oscars speech came from Paul who shouted out as many names as he could, including actor George Clooney. The rapper beamed as he called Clooney one of his favorite people, and all these years later, Paul is offering up an explanation.
“They seated me next to George Clooney at the Oscar luncheon at the Beverly Hilton before the show,” said Paul. “He was the reason why I got all these tattoos — I was sitting at home watching one night watching ‘From Dusk Till Dawn,’ which is one of my favorite movies, and I saw all these tattoos that he had. I immediately called my boys and we went to the tattoo shop at like one in the morning and I tried to mimic his tattoos. But then I looked at George and he didn’t even have tattoos! I told him that whole story, he was laughing. He was really cool.”
As they were on stage performing “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp,” Three Six Mafia was admittedly terrified to see an audience filled with familiar famous faces that don’t necessarily reflect their fan base. DJ Paul recalled looking out and seeing Nicole Kidman, but when he panned over and spotted someone else, it eased his troubles.
“When I looked in the front row and Jamie Foxx gave us a thumbs-up, I was like, we must be doing something right. It was super cool.” HipHopDX shared a clip of the group’s acceptance speech and DJ Paul jumped in their comments to once again explain away his Clooney reference. “Cause he’s my favorite actor & i got my tattoos cause of the character he played on #dusktilldawn but the kicker was when i had the Oscar luncheon with him & we sat at the same table,” wrote Paul. “He showed hella love and gave me great advice #mafia.”

Retirement has been treating Logic well, so good, in fact, that he can’t stop releasing music. Earlier this month, Logic dropped off “Tired in Malibu,” a quickie that lasted just about one minute. It was the first we’ve really heard from the rapper since last November when he appeared alongside Juicy J on the Three 6 Mafia legend’s single “1995.” Prior to that, fans were lamenting over Logic’s announcement that he planned on retiring from Rap, but now he’s resurfaced with an unexpected collaboration with celebrated rapper and producer, Madlib.
At the top of Saturday (April 24), MadGic made their debut with their first single, “Mars Only pt. 3.” It was reported last year that Logic mentioned he’d been speaking to Madlib and that the producer would be the only person who could yank him out of retirement, so Madlib may have done just that. Stream “Mars Only pt. 3” and let us know if you’re looking forward to hearing more from these two.
Quotable Lyrics
Check, sh*t is god level
The revel, nobody can rebel
I’m sick as the devil, I’m Dwayne Johnson, you f*ckin’ pebble
Presidential with the vessel, never one to embezzle
My d*ck big, my money gross, let’s toast to excess
