He is tellin tha truth tho. Paul and juicy just did it better. If Squeeky would hv got right along time ago it might’ve been a different story. Look what Squeeky did for Dolph. Ain’t nothing like a hypnotized minds beat tho.
Three six just perfected it mane. Three six took it to another level
Shoulda coulda woulda ...... You can tell he's still upset about stuff that happened 25 years ago . Let it go ..... You can tell your story without being negative
He ain't lying at all I'm from South Memphis and Spanish Fly was the first dude I heard rapping in Memphis
DJ Zirk‼️ came before 36Mafia & Hypnotized minds
I remember them beefing I was in Jr. High. Paul even admits what he saying in interviews. Paul just never says his name. He said that’s why he had to stop doing mix tapes of other people around Memphis and do his own beats. His story about Skinny was pretty much the same too. I’m 46 so I know for a fact Zirk was doing music first but when Paul and Juicy started doing beats I never thought they sounded like a Zirk or Squeaky beat. It was almost like the Mound had a sound different from the rest of Memphis. I remember when 3-6 signed their deal it was in the papers but Squeaky and MoChedda signed a deal that same day. They were both in the news paper. I don’t think if Zirk would have blew up it would have stopped 3-6. They were too different in their sound plus 3-6 had Lord Infamous (RIP) and Gangsta Boo (RIP).
DJ Zirk didn’t invent that sound. Neither did DJ squeeky. Or even DJ Paul. DJ Spanish Fly was the first to make music like that. And people always forget about DJ sound and the frayser click. But point being, no one person made Memphis rap sound. When people say it was all them, it just seems like they’re being jealous of 3 6 mafia
He said he didn't wanna work with bun b (which probably could've became a rap-a-lot deal) because ugk was cool with Paul? That man was blockin his own blessings with pride... smh
Sampling aint stealing, all memphis rappers sampled each other he just bitter
Instead of chasing Paul he should have been chasing the next unread page in a music business book
Im from Memphis. Yes, 3-6 sampled him & and Squeeky, but no one at the time knew about copyrights.They were all kids and just trying to make money. Memphis didn't get organized until around 1995. So don't hate the game.
My classmates. Dj Zirk. You are a icon and legend in my book. I rocked everyone music in Memphis. Memphis has a sound and talent that can't be slept on. Great job my brother. Much luv to every rap artist in Memphis 4 life
DJ Zirk doesn't get the credit & recognition he deserves. He was so ahead of his time. The music holds up cause I still listen to it today. Everyone else is not an original like DJ Zirk 💯
Whenever I see interviews like this, DJ Paul's verse in the song Testin' My Gangsta always pops in my head.
As a Houston native, Dj Screw formed the best noise I heard. Outside of home tho, in the South, even the whole country, Memphis Tennessee is by far my favorite sound
Memphis is such a unique place man its thr home of the original KRUNK MUSIC DJ ZIRK DID MAKE S SOUND THAT CHANGE THE GAME I still jam 36 and all the memphis rappers everyday ..and I feel everybody I see In a interview that's from Memphis they seem like just real down to earth people
DJ Zirk's laugh is one of a kind. It is uniquely evil. It would make good for a voiceover for a villain.
Man I never heard of Zirk but I’m glad I know now.
Juicy and Paul really was just sampling Buckshots voice because of his lyrics. No different from sampling Triggerman. But Juicy and Paul always been making their own shit. Shoutout to Zirk tho.
100% ON POINT...I WAS AROUND FOR ALL OF THIS IN MEMPHIS BACK IN THE 90's
