3-6 mafia (rap, Eminem, Grammy, show, quote)

~~[MERIT]~~ · 03-06-2006, 02:46 PM

3-6 mafia picked up an oscar for their song "its hard out here for a pimp" from the movie hustle and flow. the academy awards were supposed to be a black tie affair, but the mafia boys showed up in their street clothes. i personally thought their acceptance speech was a little obnoxious, and they could have portrayed a little more class.

No offence to all of the blind out there, but there is absolutly nothing classy about mainstream rap. Nothing at all. And whats the most sick is that theres the feeling that their attire was acceptible.

I unfortunatly have first hand experience that this isn't a lack of class, its a giant mental deficiency.

I agree with Big here. Nothing classy.

To be fair. The 36 boys DID show up in proper attire, but did not change after their performance.

I am an actor and a screen writer. I don't believe that great actors/screen writers/ etc etc... work their whole lives to get an Oscar, and the Three Six Mafia got one. That disgusts me. I thought the same when Eminem won. But I was less digusted, because his music was interesting at least, to me.

Ooops sorry about that.

Another person said that if they hadn't won they could use all the gold in their mouth to make their own grammy.

um..three six have been doing pretty much the same style of rap since they started and at that time it was the farthest thing from mainstream rap. you couldnt get anything even remotely similar to it unless you happend to be at a local record store in the south. I personally think theyve kept it real. from their first album, to the last they pretty much do what theyve always done. In my opinion they pretty much started "crunk" music. screw lil' jon, mike jones, and all the others that capitalized on something 36 started. Im glad they got an oscar, they deserve some recognition.
