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.

Trippy niggas let's get ratchet

Rack after rack, I got the sack,
Geeked up of beans, pack after pack (yeah ho)
Stay with the nina' two cups and a zip,
Juicy don't fight I just empty them clips (yeah ho)
Blowing like cash, high off the gas,
Pay 20 stacks and they run up and blast (yeah ho)
Next time you're see him this face on the shirt,
Next time car he ride in, stretch limo hearse
See why you niggas mad nigga, that to me you so cash nigga
Stuffed in a Louie bag nigga, Juicy J be that nigga
Big bag of that stank killer, codeine in my drink killer
Mostly niggas be lyin' sayin' they is but ain't killers
Nigga wanna play with me, I'mma break him off
Give my youngins, they'll do it, I'mma bring em out (get em)

My diamonds sing like Ray J homie, every day's a payday
Rollin up that KK, now it's going down like mayday
All my niggas be chilling, stacking money to the ceiling
Used to smoking out the parking lot, now we owning a building oh
Used to tell niggas I was gonna here but they ain't really understand
Now they see me in that brand new Rari and start to think I'm the man
Now my jeans cost a grand, now my shows fill the stands
Now they see that I'm ballin' 'cause of how they bring in them bands, ooh
Now when niggas be tourin', now my money be foreign
All my niggas be scorin', section very important
I'm cakin up, you fakin' up, I'm rollin weed when I'm wakin' up
Instead of talkin' shit and try to hate on us
Just grab a joint and come bake with us

Real nigga, 100, never needing no copout (nah)
Diamonds on my chain just pop out, you already know what I'm bout
Got bad bitches from overseas but I need a big ass from the south
Look at us, we made it, bottles up in the air now
25 racks a night, give a fuck bout sweating your hair out
Getting trippy man with some frisky things; I am the shit and you niggas anus
'Cause if I mention yall I'mma make you famous
But you still ain't nothing, I'm stainless
We famous, anything you want right now, baby girl just name it
And I'mma get real deep in the pussy;
The number one nigga, ain't no need for replacement
Getting in my spaceship, I'm high as a bitch, fly as a bitch
Okay Juicy and Wiz, every day we do this shit
I'm loadin up and I'm ridin' out, they talkin' shit but they hidin' out
Real niggas know what I'm talkin' 'bout

I make a lot of money per night and I don't care about the appearance of my hair
Getting trippy man with some frisky things; I am the shit and you niggas anus
I am getting high on drugs and having sex with attractive women; I am very impressive but you are weak
'Cause if I mention yall I'mma make you famous
If I talk about you, you will become famous because of me
But you still ain't nothing, I'm stainless
You are still not successful, but I am flawless
We famous, anything you want right now, baby girl just name it
We are famous and we can give you anything you want, just ask
And I'mma get real deep in the pussy;
I am going to have sex with a woman for a long time
The number one nigga, ain't no need for replacement
I am the best at what I do and no one can replace me
Getting in my spaceship, I'm high as a bitch, fly as a bitch
