The Crossroads is a little over an hour south of here, where Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil for his guitar playing ability. I connected the WM3 to all this several years ago. I think Mr. Bojangles and his partner did it
6:18 majority of these "murder samples" are actually just sampled from cassettes of different horror films while producers experimented to get the darkest, grimiest, most horrific sound that they could for example, lil grimm, who produced "Deep Into The Woods" sampled different parts of a Halloween cassette in his music (in the song, i also think he actually just sampled a death rattle from a horror movie or from a snuff film) also some artists, such as DJ Paul and Criminal Mafia have made skits of "murders" in their tracks with them pretending to be someone begging for their life (which i think is just them trying to be edgy or possibly mocking someone they might have actually murdered)
I remember the first time I listened to Memphis rap outside of whatever Triple 6 song was popular at the time. Shit was chilling, made horror core rap from the east coast seem utterly childish.
This don’t got anything to do with the sigils, but “Ardent Worship” by DJ Armok is a really cool 90s Memphis Rap throwback with Dungeon Synth inspired production: I’d highly recommend it if you haven’t heard it yet!
In the early 2000s in central Florida, i used to see some of these twoes for sale at the hood stores. I had some other ones but not the 8 they mention.
Actually it all started with Spanish fly, at club no name/ club expo, eight ball and mjg, dj squeaky, triple six mafia, we all just jumped out there and gave it a shot, some of us were successful, but for the most part not many Memphis rappers became mainstream artists, what sets us apart as underground artists is we do what the fuck we want to do,but for me the person who really should have became major was gangsta pat.
1990's "Memphis Rap" mixtapes...they took inspiration from Los Angeles Gangsta Rap, and inspiration from Houston Horrorcore and turned it into Lo-Fi proto-Crunk / proto-Trap...with Crunk music becoming popular in the 2000's, and Trap music becoming popular in the 2010's...plus on top of those trends, today's popularization of the "Phonk" sound essentially being a Memphis Lo-Fi revival...leads to a pretty sound argument for Memphis being the most influential Hip-Hop scene to ever turn from underground to mainstream...listening to 90's Memphis rap mixtapes today, feels like reading Nikola Tesla's blueprints, the musical equivalent of something from the past being so far above and beyond it's time, that you can almost glean infinite wisdom from it...everlasting knowledge because it's timeless, because it's classic...and what makes it even more intriguing, the artists who forged this creative path, were just making their weird music, this strange sound, the odd art statement of underground 90's rap...Nikola Tesla was actually trying to make the world's greatest invention, DJ Paul was just making what he wanted to make because he liked making it...1990's Memphis Lo-Fi deserves to be in the same conversation as NYC Boom Bap, Los Angeles G-Funk, Miami Bass & Atlanta Bass, Houston Chop n Screw, New Orleans Bounce, and all of the other great-all-time Hip-Hop subgenres...and as far as I'm concerned, it could be ranked as #1
To put it in short the rappers in Memphis’s where just making music that they liked, no cult no worship shit. I talked to a producer in mephise that produced songs like tommyrights III ashes to ashes, and i already asked a ton of questions about the murder tapes. all the rap sigils of screams were just from old horror movies.
It was most likely of the cold and dark nature of Memphis that inspired the sound. Reading the Sigils theory sounds like an Outsiders POV into Memphis Rap.

The real reason Three 6 Mafia became really famous fast and fell into obscurity are for several reasons, they had help to get connections to get into the mainstream and since the beginning of their career DJ Paul & Juicy J have been really terrible of handling business with being shady and slimy from the local artist during their time to $uicideboy$ as of recent. Which is why not only their members but their camp started leaving and having the “Last 2 Walk”
@@dh.k363 Well the post says how they became famous and mainstream real fast only to not do the same and break up years later. With Juicy J taking his solo career and working with Wiz Khalifa for three six to have somewhat of a reunion.
@@fuziontonygamingJuicy J also helped influence, and bring up rappers like SGP, and A$AP Rocky during his legendary mixtape run. SGP then made RVIDXR KLVN was then formed which helped find the likes of Denzel Curry, and Memphis locals Xavier Wulf, and Chris Travis.
What I'm trying to figure out is where are these people getting their information? I don't know, but I do know none of these commentators know shit about Memphis or Memphis rap, some people have actually sold their soul,but those are mainstream artists, in other words, slaves for the industry, and they don't own their master recordings or make any real money as a rap artist, plus most are so thirsty That they don't even have a lawyer present when they sign a recording contract
Reptilians is a metaphor. When people on the internet say “reptilians”, they’re actually referring to J_ws. And those people literally do run the music and film industry.
