#THREE 6 MAFIA OSCAR MOVIE#

Everybody's not going to know who a person is, but it's all good, man. Juicy J: No, a lot of people didn't know who the hell we were. Pitchfork: Do you feel like most of the people who've been interviewing you know who you are and what you've been doing for so many years? Radio interviews and over-the-phone stuff. I did E! Entertainment, 'Access Hollywood'. Juicy J: Man, I've been doing a lot of interviews. Pitchfork: What's the past couple of days been like? That night, I went to sleep, woke up the next morning, everybody in America and all over the world knew who we were. 'Stay Fly' came out: 'OK, I think I know this group.' Now the Oscar, everybody. One minute, people didn't know Three 6 Mafia. I'm telling you, it's changed big time, man. Do you feel like, with 'Stay Fly' last year and now with this Oscar that that's finally changed? Pitchfork: DJ Paul said on the Most Known Unknown intro that you guys called the album that because people in the industry didn't know who you were and what you'd contributed to music. We won the Oscar, and every door that was closed is open right now. How does it feel now that you've had a couple of days to process it? Pitchfork: Congratulations on winning the Oscar. Two nights after winning the award, Juicy J spoke on the phone with Pitchfork. Even more unexpectedly, the song won, causing the most thrilling live-TV moment in years and making at least one Pitchfork staff writer jump up and down on his couch. The song was unexpectedly nominated for an Academy Award, and the group became the first rap performers in Oscar history. In 2005, Paul and JuicyвЂ“ along with young protГ©gГ© Frayser BoyвЂ“ wrote and produced 'It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp', a song that Terrence Howard's character DJay rapped in Hustle & Flow, a film about a Memphis pimp trying to start a rap career. Last year, the group had its first-ever major crossover hit with 'Stay Fly'. Members have come and gone, but the group's core, frontmen/producers DJ Paul and Juicy J, has remained constant, developing the group's signature sound, a churning, bombastic storm of slurry Southern accents, fuck-you-up club chants, John Carpenter pianos, and enormous drums. Over the past 10 years, Memphis rap collective Three 6 Mafia have slowly built a regional empire, selling millions of records on word of mouth alone. Three 6 Members : Juicy J, Dj Paul & Crunchy Blac ' I see Crunchy & Juice flashin they grillz, but Paul why you so clean on the red carpet' In one of the most exciting performances for a best song - usually characterized by bland performances of even blander songs - the Memphis rap group gave a rousing rendition of their song from 'Hustle & Flow,' then took the Oscar home to boot.
