Together with production partner DJ Paul, Juicy J played an important role in the South's rise to prominence within the once East and West Coast dominated rap industry. Behind the duo's leadership, Three 6 Mafia rose from an underground phenomenon in Memphis to a nationally recognized rap empire, spinning off numerous solo albums for the collective's many members in the mid- to late '90s. Like his production partner, Juicy J specialized in dark, eerie tracks driven by bass-heavy beats and haunting sounds. He also raps as a member of Three 6 Mafia. Moreover, Three 6 Mafia ventured into filmmaking with Choices: The Movie and Choices II: The Set-Up, a straight-to-video film starring most of the Three 6 Mafia's collective, Hypnotize Minds. Juicy J (born Jordan Houston) and DJ Paul (Paul Beauregard) first came together at the dawn of the '90s, when they worked as DJs in the Memphis area. The two soon began producing their own tracks and invited numerous Memphis rappers to rap over the beats. They released the resulting tracks locally as Three 6 Mafia; years later these recordings would resurface as re-releases. In 1995, the loose collective Three 6 Mafia began to form and self-released its debut album, Mystic Stylez. The album became an underground success, and Three 6 Mafia, in turn, signed a distribution deal with Relativity for its Hypnotized Minds imprint. Throughout the late '90s, DJ Paul and Juicy J produced numerous albums a year for Hypnotized Minds and capitalized on the lucrative distribution deal. By the end of the decade, the two producers were at the helm of an empire, having extended their brand to alarming lengths, culminating with their commercial breakthrough album, When the Smoke Clears (2000), which debuted at number six on Billboard's album chart.

Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Codeine cups, Co-Codeine cups
Co-Codeine cups, paint a picture so vivid
Fast life livin', yeah we still tippin'
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Codeine cups, Co-Codeine cups
Co-Codeine cups, paint a picture so vivid
On the lean poppin' Rose with a kush blunt
With a bitch, ass fat, see it from the front
Mind gone, man I'm trippy and my eyes low
Everything purple, all I see is weed smoke
Codeined out, but my bitch gon' try
If you say I ain't high, then you niggas lyin'
A bunch of Taylor's, Memphis niggas gettin' throwed nigga
A bunch of hoes in this crib, bunch of O's nigga
Off that oil and it's dirty and I'm feeling great
Smoke a blunt or two or three just to keep me straight
You getting high, what ho, make a decision
That medical promethazine trippy prescription
Cups overflowin', my vision is dizzy (my vision is dizzy)
I'm like Bobby Brown ho without New Edition
Fast life livin', yeah we still tippin'
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Codeine cups, Co-Codeine cups
Co-Codeine cups, paint a picture so vivid
Fast life livin', yeah we still tippin'
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Codeine cups, Co-Codeine cups
Co-Codeine cups, paint a picture so vivid
Purple, purple, purple, cup always full
Pass it in a circle, everybody smoking good
On the daily might, smoke an ounce just to fuck around
Weed man sold out when I'm in your town
2050 Trippy, she got a sippy cup
They say don't drink and sip that lean but I mix em up
Turnt up to the max, real ratchet shit
She bad and she smoked probably half that bitch
You niggas still gettin' tipsy, catch me leanin'
Smoke some incredible, feel like I'm dreamin'
My crib in Cali like Texas sippin' DJ Screw (Rest in peace)
Fridge full of Bombay but you can't find no juice
Fast life livin', yeah we still tippin'
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Codeine cups, Co-Codeine cups
Co-Codeine cups, paint a picture so vivid
Fast life livin', yeah we still tippin'
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
