He is a founding member of the Southern hip hop group Three 6 Mafia, established in 1991, and also the younger brother of rapper Project Pat.

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.

Juicy J Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mistercap, TM
It's time, Mane
TGOD Mafia, 808 Mafia, Three Six Mafia
Light your motherfuckin' shit up
Pop what you need to pop
Pour up what the fuck you need to pour up
And if you ain't doing none of that shit, need to be-
Let's go!

Overall Meaning

The first part of the lyrics is an introduction to the song "Intro" by Juicy J. The line "Mistercap, TM" is a shoutout to two of Juicy's collaborators, Wiz Khalifa (who also goes by the nickname "Mistercap") and producer TM88. The next line, "It's time, Mane," is a call to action, signaling that it's time to get down to business.

The next few lines reference various rap groups and movements: "TGOD Mafia" refers to Taylor Gang or Die, the hip-hop collective founded by Wiz Khalifa, and "808 Mafia" is a production team known for their trap beats. "Three Six Mafia" is a reference to Juicy J's former group, which was hugely influential in the Memphis rap scene of the 1990s and 2000s.

The following lines are a challenge to the listener to "light your motherfuckin' shit up" and partake in some form of drug or alcohol consumption. This hedonistic attitude is a hallmark of Juicy J's music and the larger hip-hop culture that he's a part of. He then ends the verse by urging those who aren't indulging to join in, letting out a final "Let's go!" before the song kicks into high gear.
