Although I hate most of them, I must acknowledge that reality shows are a great way to market yourself, especially when you're as quirky-yet-gangsta as the Three 6 Mafia. I loved "Most Known Unknowns" and their reality show has made me even more of a fan.The extent to which "Adventures in Hollyhood" is actual reality is up for debate and, like Noz, I find some aspects of it disappointing, but their humour and honesty is endearing and definitely won me over. So much so that I've been bumping their back catalogue the last few days; a few highlights for me:
Sippin' on some syrup (ft UGK) This was my intro to the group and the video sparked a sippin'-from-baby-bottles trend at my boarding school...of course I was too cool for that.
Ridin Spinners (ft Li'l Flip) "They don't stop!" In a word, infectious. With this blowing up just as Crunk and Dancehall were, it was all rims, grills, plane-signalling and 2-stepping in '03...feeling a little nostalgic like the old man I am.
And something new, like they never left: Like Money
Look forward to their new record. Listening to them constantly makes my head hurt from all the violence and mysoginy, but there's nothing like a dose of ya favourite Academy Award winners to get you buzzing.
