That's what pretty much alotta 3-6 fans would easily admit...
...and the south, like non-south hip-hop artists would say, it's all
"90% beats, 10% lyrics"...
...but with a few exceptions according to some lyrical southern rappers out there......
dont get me wrong, my southern hip hop collection rivals most peoples who live in the south..and i love shit that aint hella lyrical...
but the beats set the tone for 3-6...all them old songs wouldnt sound all eeire and creepy just based on the lyrics...songs like sippin on some syrup were songs that were dope because of the beats...maybe songs liek tear the club up were on some more lyrical shit
dj paul has had alot of good sample choices IMO even something modern like "poppin my collar" which i think was from the mack
i have albums from them where the mastering (if they mastered it at all) was so terrible that the voices were pretty much the only thing that wasnt clear, on top of them bieng drugged out and mumbling half the time and shit
besides maybe most known unknowns or the unbreakables i havent heard much clear sounding shit come out of 3-6's camp and even then, its still not lyrical like say, project pats 'ghetty green'...
thats my opinion of some lyrical 3-6/HCP shit that wasnt low grade sounding
project pat is really simplistic in his rhyming style but when you really look at it hes pretty lyrical
it was definately dj pauls creativity that put me on to 3-6 and check their older albums..i was into pat before i really was big on 3-6 though.
