As of 2013 they have regrouped under a new name Da Mafia 6ix, minus Juicy J apparently [[ScrewedByTheLawyers do to legal issues]] with the old name and Juicy's contract. Unfortunately Lord Infamous passed away December 20, 2013 making a full reunion impossible. Adding insult to injury, Gangsta Boo quit the group...''again'' over the summer of 2014, and Koopsta passed due to a brain aneurysm the following year on October 9.

* {{Sampling}}: Numerous times; taken UpToEleven with the fact that they often sampled ''themselves''.
** It wasn't unusual for them to reuse the same sample multiple times, or to sample the same song at different timestamps and elements. Just ask DJ Zirk and his underground hit "2 Thick".
** Juicy J famously sampled Linkin Park on two tracks: "Smoke Dat Weed," which samples the piano riff from "In The End," and "Buck Gangsta Beat," which samples elements from "Papercut".
* SequelSong: Many of them. Some span ''4 parts'' even.
* SexDrugsAndRockNRoll
* SignatureStyle: Their musical style initially featured eerie, slow, dark, menacing bass driven almost industrial synth beats with equally gritty horror themed lyrics. Like an evil precursor, if you will, to what became the Crunk sound.
* SirSwearsALot: Every last one of them.
* SouthernRap: Naturally, hailing from Memphis and all.

Three 6 Mafia (formerly Triple Six Mafia and before that Backyard Posse) is an Academy Award-winning, rap group originating from Memphis, Tennessee. Formed in 1991 by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous The Scarecrow, and Juicy J, they shortly thereafter recruited fellow Memphian rappers Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, and Crunchy Black. The group also frequently collaborates with Project Pat (the brother of Juicy J).

The group released their debut underground album ''Mystic Stylez'' in 1995 through Prophet Entertainment, a record label they created but have since relinquished control over. Their musical styles which initially featured eerie, slow, dark, menacing bass driven synth beats with equally gritty horror themed lyrics has since moved to a more mainstream sound. The group has also had numerous lineup changes, and now consists only of original members DJ Paul and Juicy J. At the time, it was unknown if Lord Infamous was back with the group on a full-time basis.

The constant line up changes and relatively drastic change in style has rubbed some fans the wrong way. When four of the six members left they took small portions of the fanbase with them. Now face with the prospects that those members will likely never return (thanks to the ''way'' too personal [[TakeThat disses]] flying back and forth) the base shattered into about a dozen pieces. To say nothing of the fact that their ''own'' popular artists left their ''own'' label (Hypnotized Minds) which caused even more division. DJ Paul and Juicy J have managed to keep the remaining core fans around mostly due to the fact that their beat making is for the most part still sharp as it was under the original line up, as that was one of the group's major draw. Nonetheless, they have cultivated a sizable and diverse cult following that has only increased since their Oscar win.

As of 2013 they have regrouped under a new name Da Mafia 6ix, minus Juicy J apparently [[ScrewedByTheLawyers do to legal issues]] with the old name and Juicy's contract. Unfortunately Lord Infamous passed away December 20, 2013 making a full reunion impossible. Adding insult to injury, Gangsta Boo quit the group...''again'' over the summer of 2014.

** Kinda Zig Zaged: For example with Koopsta who says he fully embraced the occult, and studied dark arts, and read books on warlocks. Turning his back on god cause of his terrible upbringing [[https://youtu.be/kT5YFjQiNdc discussed here in his documentary at the 9:42 mark]]. Then there's Gangsta Boo who have somewhat subtle bitter atheistic opinions. So at least these two play it straight, apart from the other members who claim otherwise.
