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.

Im so high eyes red as fire
Smoke so much weed dancin in tha sky
Shots of patron dowin witha beer
Bitches in my ear but i cant hear

"Purple Kush" is a song by rapper Juicy J, that revolves around the theme of indulging in drugs and alcohol while partying. In the first verse, Juicy J is seen describing his state of being high, with red eyes and smoking a lot of weed while dancing. He is drunk as well, and the women around him cannot get through to him because he is in his own world. He has no plans of going home and is sending drunken texts while poppin' pills. It's his birthday, and he is partying hard.
The chorus of "Purple Kush" is catchy, with Juicy J boasting about how he has "purple in his cup" (also known as lean, a drink that includes promethazine and codeine), and "purple in his blunt" (referring to a strain of weed). He's selling drugs too and has hidden his money in his car's trunk. He also talks about how he is hated by some and loved by the whole hood.
The second verse of "Purple Kush" implies that Juicy J is still smoking weed on his third blunt and using strawberry cigarillos to create a better smoking experience. He uses the euphemism of "buff weed smokers" to indicate that he's smoking with his close friends. As he enters the club, he smells like money and weed, and he inhales Kush and blows smoke out of his nose. He's wearing Gucci and has spent $40K in the mall like he's "flipping cakes." The song "Purple Kush" glorifies the use of drugs and shows the rapper's unabashed love for them.
