Juicy J took to his Instagram story to address a concerning issue in the rap industry: a 40% decline in sales. Joining in on the conversation, podcast host Wallo267 expressed concerns about the industry’s over-reliance on flashy aesthetics and gimmicks, highlighting the importance of authentic, high-quality music over attention-grabbing antics. ‘Let’s Talk About This!’ In […]
Juicy J wants to know what’s happening with rap music and the sales. Hitting Instagram, Juicy J is calling for a meeting to figure it out.
“Rap music is down 40%. Check the charts. Check the math. I don’t make the rules,” he said. “What are we, as rappers, producers, composers, going to do about this shit? Because it’s down 40% this year. Do your research. This is a fact.”
He added, “Let’s have a meeting, let’s meet up somewhere and have a big ass fucking meeting. Let’s talk about this shit, how we can turn this shit around. Because this is how we eat. This is how we make money.”
Juicy J says Rap music sales are down 40% in 2023.
Juicy J will forever go down in history as one of the GOATs, someone who’s influence extends far beyond music. And now, he’s telling his story through his new book.
Aptly titled Chronicles Of The Juice Man, the memoir is written in collaboration with Soren Baker, detailing the Memphis native’s rise from the streets to superstardom. It also showcases the most vulnerable side of Juicy J we’ve seen yet, touching on powerful topics such as mental health, substance abuse, addiction, and much more.
On Tuesday, September 12th, Juicy J hosted an exclusive book signing at Barnes & Noble inside The Grove in Los Angeles, California. At 7pm, fans were eager to line up to get a chance to meet the “Bandz A Make Her Dance” rapper, even purchasing the book with the intention of getting it signed by Juicy J himself.
People from all walks of life came through to support, with many rocking Juicy J/Three 6 Mafia merch. One guy even flew in from Japan just to meet Juicy J!
During the event, Juicy J also revealed that him and Logic have a forthcoming album in the works. While the two have worked together in the past, sharing an undeniable bond and friendship, this is the first time we’re hearing of a collaborative project.
Huge congratulations to Juicy J on the new book, which allegedly sold out in just one hour! Purchase yours on Amazon here.
Juicy J, founding member of Three 6 Mafia, recently revealed in an interview on Good Morning America that he has been collaborating with various artists on new music, including Megan Thee Stallion. Fans of both artists have been buzzing with excitement upon hearing this news. Megan Thee Stallion x Juicy J During his September 5th […]
Megan Thee Stallion has found herself in and out of the spotlight all 2023 as she continues to heal from the trauma of her shooting incident with Tory Lanez, not to mention the hate and drama that came afterward. It wasn’t until late 2022 that the Canadian was found guilty. Following that announcement, the Houston native spent the first few months of this year focusing on her mental health. We saw more of her face and body-ody-ody throughout the spring and summer, but ahead of Lanez’s long-awaited sentencing, Thee Stallion slowly started to distance herself from the public again.
It seems this weekend was when she finally felt ready to hit the town once again, even linking up with another Southern rap superstar to take part in a viral TikTok challenge. Late on Saturday (August 26) evening, a new video went up on her account, showing Megan and friends performing choreography to Three 6 Mafia’s “Half On a Sack.” Seconds before the video comes to an end, Juicy J slides into the frame, proudly rapping along to his famous hip-hop group’s fan-favourite track.

“I actually won this trend ,” Thee Stallion declared in her caption. While many comments are commending her on actually getting her “Simon Says” collaborator to partake, others are busy drooling over the fashionista’s slim thick figure in her sheer, skin-tight outfit.
It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard new music from Megan Thee Stallion, which is perfectly understandable considering what she’s been through in the past few years. The Hot Girl Coach made it clear that she won’t be dropping anything until her mental health is back where she wants it to be. Still, her fans couldn’t help but get excited when the rumour mill suggested that she and Cardi B could be reuniting for the first time since “WAP” on an upcoming release. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
There are so many influential rap acts across the genre. From Migos, to Outkast, Griselda, Black Hippy, the list can go on forever. However, it would be a disservice to not recognize Three 6 Mafia and put them in that conversation as icons in the rap group sphere. From classics such as “Slob On My Nob,” and others, it is hard to deny their cultural impact in hip-hop. The Memphis rap scene has so much to offer, and Juicy J, along with the Mafia, are possibly the biggest names from there.
Besides the names associated with Three 6 Mafia, their hits have been sampled and interpolated throughout so many rappers’ songs. For example, A$AP Ferg references “Slob On My Nob” in his hit song, “Plain Jane.” On the chorus, Ferg raps in a similar flow and borrows some lyrics, “Ride with the mob, Alhamdulillah Check in with me and do your job Ferg is the name, Ben Baller did the chain Tourneau for the watch, presi Plain Jane.” Additionally, Juicy J references “Slob On My Nob” in the remix of “No Limit” by G-Eazy, in which his featured reciting the same lyrics.
Juicy J took to Twitter to thank the rap game for their creative recycling of the Three 6 Mafia’s music. He writes, “Peace & love to Three6Mafia great to witness our Music still going strong like it never lef , people across the world sampling & remaking the songs we are grateful thank you All #greatestgroupofalltime.” Even with the tragic deaths within the group, including Gangsta Boo’s, the rap act continues to positively impact the genre in ways many groups cannot do.
What are your thoughts on Juicy J’s tweet about Three 6 Mafia? Do you believe they are one of the best, if not the best, greatest rap group ever?

Denzel Curry has delighted fans with the release of his latest single, “BLOOD ON MY NIKEZ,” featuring a collaboration with the legendary Juicy J. The song was highly anticipated, especially after Denzel had teased his verse in the Omar Jones-directed music video released last week.
This summer has been eventful for Denzel, with performances at various festivals, including Outbreak Festival in the UK, Capitol Hill Block Party in the US, and Germany’s SPLASH! Festival. Fans had already caught a glimpse of “BLOOD ON MY NIKEZ” during his Australian tour earlier this year.
The single marks Denzel’s first original release of 2023, following his successful Live At Electric Lady EP in May. With “BLOOD ON MY NIKEZ,” Denzel takes a nostalgic journey back to his roots, reminiscent of his fan-favorite projects like Nostalgic 64 and Imperial, while skillfully blending in the pop sensibilities he has developed over his career.
Denzel Curry’s unique blend of styles and thoughtful concepts has earned him critical acclaim, making “BLOOD ON MY NIKEZ” a highly anticipated addition to his discography. Fans can enjoy the single now and eagerly await more exciting music from Denzel in the future.
Just over a year after breaking through with her viral hit single, “FNF (Let’s Go),” GloRilla has another summer hit on her hands. On her latest single, “Lick Or Sum,” the new Memphis rap princess channels her fellow Memphis natives Three 6 Mafia over a trippy beat sampling the group’s hit track, “Slob On My Knob.”
On the track, Glo takes charge in the sex game, laying down the laws and delivering scandalous commands.
“Lookin’ like a lick or sum’ / Come and take a lick or sum’ / P*ssy bussin’ like a blick or sum’ / Come here, now let me get some d*ck or sum’,” she raps on the song’s chorus, which contains probably the most printable lyrics of the song.
In the song’s video, she is seen twerking with her girls, dancing in the streets and on the hoods of cars, and also in a salon, where she passes on words of wisdom to other women. Fellow rappers Sexyy Red and Yung Miami make cameos in the video.
Last year proved to be big for Glo, with her viral hits “FNF (Let’s Go)” and the equally catchy “Tomorrow 2.” With “Lick Or Sum,” she’s sure to kill the game with another summer banger.
We can hardly believe it, but the final New Music Friday (March 31) of the month is upon us, bringing some seriously noteworthy new releases. Of course, singles from Quavo and Gucci Mane are already causing a stir online, and we have a strong selection of albums to share with you too. Tyler, The Creator’s updated version of CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST and Chlöe’s debut solo project, In Pieces, are already on our site, and now, Juicy J’s Mental Trillness is joining the ranks.
On the 18-track project, the Memphis native works with a handful of collaborators, including Finesse2tymes, Xavier Wulf, and La Chat. Another artist, Aleza, appears on two titles – “Ain’t Cool” and “No Rapper” with Slimeroni and K Carbon. Additionally, Juicy J paid tribute to the late Gangsta Boo with a posthumous feature on the second last title, “Follow Home Robbers.” While her verse isn’t actually new (it originally appeared on 2014’s “Come Off Dat”) it’s still a thoughtful way for the 47-year-old to remember his friend.
Juicy J Honours Gangsta Boo with “Follow Home Robbers”
As TMZ notes, the producer snuck another shoutout to his fallen Three 6 Mafia teammate into “Work Out,” his joint effort with Finesse. Landing on the tracklist ahead of “Follow Home Robbers,” Juicy J samples Gangsta Boo’s “Where Dem Dollas At” only the quickly emerging fan favourite. As you may recall, the female rap legend tragically lost her life on New Year’s Day after an evening of partying. Her believed cause of death is a drug overdose, marking yet another talented artist taken too soon due to substance abuse.
Check out Juicy J’s posthumous Gangsta Boo collaboration, “Follow Home Robbers” on YouTube above. Afterward, you can find the full Mental Trillness album on Spotify or Apple Music. For more new release recommendations, check back later this weekend for our Fire Emoji playlist update.
