YMMV / Three 6 Mafia

Go To

  • Archive Panic: They have A LOT of underground releases prior to "Mystic Stylez", both as a group and as individuals.
  • Cult Classic: The group itself, including their first few albums before "When The Smoke Clears"
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Lord Infamous and Gangsta Boo. So it's no surprise that when they left the group they took a few fans with them.
    • "Stay Fly" is their best-liked single following their Genre Shift to Poppy Crunk Rap.
  • Everyone Is Satan in Hell: Thy were, at least for a time, the butt of controversy from religious groups and conspiracy theorists alike—the group's name itself is a thinly-veiled reference to the Number of the Beast in keeping with their image as a Horrorcore group (at least until they shifted to the more mainstream "ringtone rap" sound in their later albums); this bit back on them in the song "Stay Fly" where a sample from the Willie Hutch song "Tell Me Why Has Our Love Turned Cold" was misinterpreted as "Lucifer, you're my king, you're my father" instead of "you're my pride, you're my king, you're my father", as if the Three-Six was indeed singing praises to the devil.
  • Fandom Rivalry: with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony fans. To a certain degree they share a small portion of their fan base.
    • A lot of Three 6 Mafia fans hold resentment toward Migos fans for dubbing Lord Infamous's iconic triplet flow as the "Migos flow."
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Fans resent the steadily gradual shift from their gangsta-horror, death rap edged style, to a more generic gangsta rap, and eventually to straight-up ringtone rap. Their production is the only saving grace in some fans eyes.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?
  • Win Back the Crowd: 6ix Commandments was a drastic return to form for most of the core fans.
