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.

The top ten get high rappers # 1 is my rank
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
I get so damn trippy in my mind I go blank
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't

You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
Juicy J, Juicy J, Juicy J, Juicy J
Juicy, Juicy, Juicy, Juicy, Juicy J can't
Lean overflowing like New Orleans' broken levies
No relationship with hoes, I just want that Becky
I'm bout my money, I gets my fetti
Street nigga, north Memphis, bitch I still rep it
Smokin' weed from the bong
And the lean got my sprung
Molly in my veins got my heart beatin' like a drum
Grinding on my teeth like a nigga chewing gum
Eye's Chinese tight, but I don't, work at Yung's
Juicy so high I feel like that I am on a cloud
Weed don't talk, but the shit I got here loud
After the show we grab the groupie hoes, I'm smokin' out
No smoke for free, no IOU's, no I don't do no vowels
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't
Juicy J, Juicy J, Juicy J, Juicy J
Juicy, Juicy, Juicy, Juicy, Juicy J can't
The club doped out, we dove in
Shawty got that ass poked out, but I'm pokin'
I get that cap and gown, like I'm graduatin'
Shawty straight, on the bed, she ain't hesitatin'
I'm on that loud, you on that hush
Nigga I'm the shit, can't even flush
I'm gettin' money ballin', with out a contract
I ain't gotta smoke for you to catch a contact
I shoot guns, I don't blow guns
Smoke so much I should've had four lungs
I'm smokin', 'till my money gone
And that's no time soon, cause my money long
You say no to drugs, Juicy J can't
You say, you say no to drugs, Juicy, Juicy J can't

Juicy J is a genius, dude totally re-invented himself with his "Trippy" style and exposed himself to the youth again by getting in with Wiz Khalifa. Brilliant moves.
@pcakes1878
three 6 was always a little trippy imo, but yes he did well to keep up the work and stay in the game
@lastwarning08
no this has been his style his whole career wiz khalifa style actually came from juicy.
@KickoStocks
@lastwarning08 I never much enjoyed Juicy's sound during the 3-6 days and was a big fan from the mid 90s. I feel like maybe he was just getting drowned out by the other ones with more unique sounds, or maybe the production was too dusty for his sound. When he really went for trap beats and that modern sound it totally changed for me.
@quackapatth
@lastwarning08 eh debateable, I donβt remember him saying the word trippy one time in triple six, and three 6, I think it was p gradual as he got older and three six kinda stopped making so much music after the early 2000s
@quackapatth
@OTCmethod totally agree
@Enkelriktad123
This never gets old man, straight up banger to this day
@iamlean2896
This song aged like a fine wine.
