In 1995, the Memphis underground rap group, then named "Triple 6 Mafia", released its first official album, Mystic Stylez. It had recorded this album by using the profits from its highly successful underground tape Smoked Out, Loced Out. The members then changed the group's name to "Three 6 Mafia" (or sometimes "3-6 Mafia") and now use the Triple-6 name on the compilations of reissued tracks from their underground tapes. They did this because radio stations supposedly refused to play the songs of a group whose name included a reference to the number 666. There are also rumors that the name was changed because of copyright reasons due to a falling out with others in the Memphis rap scene. The group has had a number of disputes with former allies, namely Playa Fly, Gangsta Blac, and Skinny Pimp. In fact, some say that the group was originally named "Three Six Mafia" (all words spelled out), then switched to "Triple Six" for similar reasons.
On the 1995 single "Live By Yo Rep", the group had accused Cleveland group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony of stealing its style (a mix of quasi-harmonic rapping and blatant references to the occult). The track "All Original" on Bone's Art of War album is thought to be a dis of Three Six (this issue has apparently been settled, however). The problems between the two groups were eventually settled in family court in June 1996.
Eventually, Three 6 Mafia moved towards the "crunk" style of rap - repetitive chanting aimed at hyping a crowd (e.g.— "tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up!"). This direction (exemplified by songs like "Sippin' on Syrup" with Houston rappers UGK) helped them reach number 6 on the Billboard album chart in 2000 with their CD 6661: When the Smoke Clears.
Three 6 has expanded its operations considerably. Its stable of affiliated rappers is called "Hypnotize Minds" or the "Hypnotize Camp Posse" (HCP). Aside from many of the individual members releasing solo albums, they have also released material from "Tear Da Club Up Thugs" (a side project) and "Three Six Mafia Presents: Hypnotize Camp Posse" (a Memphis rap compilation). Unfortunately, Three 6 Mafia has also lost many members. Koopsta Knicca left due to a monetary dispute, while La Chat is currently pursuing a solo career. Gangsta Boo is rumored to have converted to Christianity and is interested in gospel music (which she denies, saying that it's a rumor started by her former label mates). Lord Infamous is likely in prison and very possibly under 24-hour lockdown, although Juicy J has said he's on "vacation." T-Rock has parted ways with Three 6 Mafia, and has publicly dissed the entire clique and accused them of shady business dealings in interviews and on his track "Mr. Big Man." Project Pat recently served time in prison for a parole violation, but was released in July 2005.
In 2003, Three 6 Mafia released the album Da Unbreakables, which features collaborations with Lil' Flip, Pimp C, (from UGK), Lil' Wyte, Frayser Boy, Hank Williams, Jr., and Project Pat. The album produced the hit "Ridin' Spinnerz," which featured Lil' Flip.
In 2005, Three 6 Mafia released their highly anticipated new album “Most Known Unknown.” It was notable that Lord Infamous was missing from this album. The generally accepted reason was that he had been incarcerated; however, Three 6 Mafia claim he is on "holiday.” He has since officially returned to Three 6 Mafia recently. The group is said to be associated with the crip gang. They diss the bloods in many of their lyrics.
Three 6 Mafia has always been known for their controversial and sometimes misunderstood lyrics. For example, in the song "Knock the Black Off Yo Ass", they reference the DC Area Sniper Shootings in multiple lines in the song. "I think they better call Bush, 'cause it's a national disaster, when I unleash my pistol-grip Bushmaster." "You can't hide, you can't run. I'm a sniper, ridin' in a blue Chevy, a trunk full of guns, man you hoes ain't ready."
“Stay Fly” was the first single off of The Most Unknown album. The next single released off of the album was "Poppin’ My Collar," which premiered around mid January 2006.
Their song "Late Nite Tip" is favoured by car audio enthusiasts for its deep, rolling bassline and is a stalwart of testing ones sound system also it is known that they sampled many Willie Hutch songs on their album Most Known Unknown
In January of 2006, Three 6 Mafia made history as they became the first African-American hip-hop act to be nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Achievement In Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song). The group was nominated for the song It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp off of the Hustle & Flow soundtrack. The first hip-hop act to actually be nominated for an Academy Award in this category was Eminem in 2002 for the song Lose Yourself off the 8 Mile soundtrack and he also won the award. Three 6 Mafia was credited by their real names in the nomination and not by their group name. Jordan Houston (Juicy J), Cedric Coleman (Crunchy Black), and Paul Beauregard (DJ Paul) were named in the nomination. Terrance Howard, who performed the song in the movie, refuses to perform it at the Academy Awards possibly because it reinforces stereotypes that all black males are pimps.
On March 5, 2006, Three 6 Mafia won the Academy Award they were nominated for, becoming the first African American Hip-Hop group to win an Oscar.
During May Crunchy Black left Three 6 Mafia to go on his own. He is releasing 4 mixtapes and 4 dvds in the near future.

When I Pull Up At The Club (Ft
Three 6 Mafia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it real good
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green
To-to-today, I'm married and my wife don't play
If you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
To-to-today, I'm married and my wife don't play
If you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
Can it be my Rolls that pull all these hoes?
Or can it be my Cadillac wit 20-inch Vogues?
Can it be my mansion in Memphis jacuzzi?
Or could it be my crib in Florida on the beach?
Can it be the ten million records that I sold?
Or can it be the first one that ever wnet gold?
Whatever it be like, y'all jaw cause I don't stop
Continuously to make a ho draws drop, yeah
I used to always wonder why my girls have fits
When I walk up out the mall, they be lookin' at me pissed
Maybe just because I ball, ridin' eight or nine whips
And my name is Juicy J and I ain't payin' no bitch
When I was broke as a joke, they didn't wanna get with me
'Til I bought a Maybach, now they all wanna lick me
With a Playboy mansion downtown in the city
And the hoes lined up like ninety centy pennies
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green
To-to-today I'm married and my wife don't play
If ya want-if you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green
To-to-today, I'm married and my wife don't play
If you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
I got the candy drippin stains off the Range when I'm switchin' lanes
I'm in the slab glass house swangin' grippin' grain
They tellin' me I'm the mane, stangin' licks to make a gain
Livin' life in the fast lane, gettin' money I can't complain
These boppers see me ridin', swangin' wanna taste the fame
But you gotta break that bread with me, baby, I'm married to the game
I fell in love with stackin' change, I'm addicted to countin' cash
I ain't worried bout naan ho, I ain't concerned wit naan ass
I'm 'bout that dollar get it right, I'm not out here lookin' for a wife
I'm out here on that top flight, on the grind all day and night
I'm a baller, I'm a pimp, I'm a thug, and I'm a hustler
If you want some of this love, then break bread, girl, you a customer
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin' so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green
To-to-today, I'm married and my wife don't play
If you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin' so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog, painted lime green
To-to-today, I'm married and my wife don't play
If you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
See she's a freak ho, let me tell you all about it
I met her in the Valley and the valley ain't Cali
She tried to act shy, but I knew she was 'bout it
Hotter than a summer day when it ain't cloudy
She say she want cheese, but that's no doubt it
She just another ho, I'mma hit then I'm out it
I'm just like Jody, out the back door, see
Hidin' my face cause her old man know me
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green
To-to-today I'm married and my wife don't play
If ya want-if you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green
To-to-today, I'm married and my wife don't play
If you want-if you want me to treat you, ugly bitch, you gotta pay
Now when I pull up at the club, I'm lookin so clean
Se-se-seventy-seven Cut Dog painted lime green

The lyrics of When I Pull Up At The Club by Three 6 Mafia depict the ostentatious lifestyle of the rap artists. The song exudes an air of confidence and self-assuredness regarding their wealth and success. The song opens with the lines "Does it real good, does it real good" that beckon the listeners to indulge in the fantasy of living lavishly. The chorus emphasizes the opulence of the artists as they drive up to the club in their green Seventy-seven Cut Dog. They make it clear that they are married men who expect to be paid if anyone treats them like 'ugly bitches.'
DJ Paul's verse enumerates the sources of his popularity and the power they wield over women. He lists his extensive car collection, mansions in Memphis and Florida, and ten million records sold as evidence of his success. The verse closes with the assertion that his trophies are not enough to make him stop hustling and making women swoon. Juicy J's verse captures the change in his status from being broke to being rich. He reveals the humiliation he received when he was a nobody and the adoration that he gets now that he is rich. He asserts that he will not pay any woman for her company, and they must come to him with an offering. The verse is an ode to his material status, which he believes makes him irresistible to women. Paul Wall and Crunchy Black's verses follow the same formula of flaunting wealth, living extravagantly, and treating women as commodities.

If ya want-if you want me to treat you ugly bitch you gotta pay
I demand compensation from those who wish to be treated poorly
Can it be Rolls that pull all these hoes

Perhaps it's the custom rims on my Cadillac that gain me attention

Continuously to make a ho draws drop, yeah
My presence causes promiscuous women to become aroused
I used to always wonder why my girls have fits
I've previously been puzzled as to why my female admirers act irrationally
When I walk up out the mall they be lookin at me pissed
Exiting the shopping center, the women seem angry towards me
Maybe just becuz I ball ridin eight or nine whips
It could be because I am wealthy with multiple expensive vehicles
And my name is Juicy J and I ain't payin no bitch
I am Juicy J and I refuse to pay any women
When I was broke as a joke they didn't wanna get wit me
Previously, when I was poor, women were not interested in me
Till I bought a Maybach now they all wanna lick me
But since I acquired a luxurious Maybach car, they now desire me
Wit a Playboy mansion downtown in the city
I own a lavish Playboy Mansion located in the downtown area
And the hoes lined up like ninety centy pennies
Women flock to me like clustered coins, eager for my attention
I got the candy drippin' stains off the frame when I'm switchin' lanes
My car has candy paint that glistens when I drive and change lanes
I'm in the slab glass house swangin' grippin' grain
I cruise in a fancy car with tinted windows and spinners on the wheels
They tellin' me I'm the mane stangin' licks to make a gain
People acknowledge me as the top dog, acquiring riches through clever means
Livin' life in the fast lane gettin' money I can't complain
My life is filled with exciting pleasures and fruitful money-making opportunities
These boppers see me ridin' swangin' wanna taste the fame
Flirtatious women drool over me while I am cruising, desiring to be with a famous man

If you want to be with me, you need to be willing to pay for my time and loyalty to my fame
I fell in love wit stackin' change I'm addicted to countin' cash
I have a passion for accumulating wealth, it's an addiction that consumes me
I ain't worried bout naan ho I ain't concerned wit naan ass
No woman or situation impacts my determined focus on making money
I'm bout that dollar get it right I'm not out here lookin' for a wife
I prioritize making money and am not seeking a committed relationship
I'm out here on that top flight on the grind all day and night
I am on a prosperous journey, hustling relentlessly around the clock
I'm a baller I'm a pimp I'm a thug and I'm a hustler
I am a successful and powerful man, with different aspects of my persona
If you want some of this lovin' break bread girl you a customer
If you want to show affection to me, you need to pay for my services
See she's a freak ho let me tell you all a-bout it
She is a promiscuous woman, let me explain further
I met her in the Valley and the valley ain't Cali
I encountered her in the Valley, not California
She tried to act shy but I knew she was bout it
Although she attempted to act modest, I could tell she was eager for physical intimacy
Hotter than a summer day when it ain't cloudy
She is attractive, like a hot summer day without clouds
She say she want cheese but that's no doubt it
She is specifically interested in money, there's no question
She just another ho I'ma hit then I'm out it
She is just one of many women I will have sex with and then leave afterwards
I'm just like Jody out the back door see
Similar to the character Jody from a movie, I also sneak out of back doors
Hidin' my face cause her old man know me
I conceal my identity because her partner is familiar with me
