- In Recent Years Memphis HipHop has been getting more attention due to names like NLE Choppa, Pooh Shiesty, Big Scarr, Glorilla and other new rappers but there is a lot of history people don't know about. The 90s Memphis Horrorcore rap scene was responsible for popularizing a lot of the elements in todays music. Three 6 Mafia and 8ball MJG are the most well known group from this time period but outside of 36 Mafia and 8ball MJG rappers like Tommy Wright lll, Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Al Kapone, Gangsta Blac, Playa Fly played a big role in 90s Horrorcore music scene. Through the 2000s and 10s rappers like Yo Gotti, Blac Youngsta, and Moneybagg Yo took over to carry on the Memphis releveance.
Really glad you mentioned SPG and RVIDXR KLVN, they had so much potential and influence and a lot of talented rappers
Rvidxr Klvn are my idols
Good shit bruddah. What I love bout Memphis is they did not give a FUCK what sound was popular. They knew they were fire and on something different
This makes a lot of sense, people always said that T.I. is the originator of trap music. i’m glad you made this video.
There would be no "Trap Music" if Ti didn't exist
@@Panacheimg that’s true, I think TI just help popularize the sound. Trap music was already establish, I think TI along with Gucci and Jeezy just made it popular.
@@123theprodigy5 juicy j? 36 mafia? Lord infamous?
Are you children that never heard of them hahahahahahahahahah
Slanging rocks non-stop, mane stop playing with da 〽️
Trap music this is southern gangsta music if that's the case nwa would be creators of trap music that trap shit come from Atlanta not Memphis mane
Coming Out Hard did it for me. I knew nothing about Memphis until that dropped. I was about 13 at the time (in Alabama) and I played that tape a million times.
Psychopathicsavage one of the BEST Memphis underground music channels on TH-cam, Have Fun!! 🔥
Underground Zone, Memphis 66.6, underground sounds, psychopathic savage
Soundz of Da Underground , underground rap collector, junkyard kids
These a few channels too

Been a big supporter of the old Memphis scene and raider klan days. Never really understood the old Memphis scene bc I was extremely young but around middle school I found raider klan and went all in. Been wanting to make Memphis style horrorcore ever since it blessed my ears
It’s like hearing music for the first time again when you find old memphis shit
Yep, they bring a different kind of soul to their lyrics, flow and delivery. Memphis has that documentary style kind of story telling and how they rapped. Just different - many say Memphis shyt is like it's own genre not a sub genre. BUT AN ACTUAL GENRE.
Thats why if you hear someone expresses their love for Memphis underground rap, they almost convey it being like it's own form.
Keep this up bro you gonna be something don't stop no matter what bills and all.
Ashes 2 Ashes ,Dust 2 Dust by Tommy Wright III definitely was one of those pieces of work that stuck with me since the day I found it. It's like one of those things that you just always have as a personal favorite
Yessir
Which version? The original with the vintage cassette tape hiss or the remastered version that make those classics sound so much better?
@@cashbbrown6067 sheeiit whatever you can get ur hands on
I remember when I found out about Memphis early rap it’s literally all 🔥
So many underground rappers in Memphis. Y’all forgot Pretty Tony, Money Counters, Blackout, Gangsta Gold and MC Money, and Shawty Pimp.
smk should be included because he taught dj squeeky how to make beats, even gave him one of his sp1200s and it had floppy disks that had the beats "lookin for the chewin" and "lock em in the trunk". also smk used to make beats on dj pauls early tapes and he gave paul his drums and samples. this a dope video regardless
This whole video was spot on, we lost a few legends in Memphis R.I.P to all of em 🙏🏾
You did a great job. Thanks for including the gangsta blac and Playa fly part. It's as close as what really happened that I've heard anyone do. I remember when we thought juicy was playing the roll of project pat like ol Boi in digital underground
I'M FROM MEMPHIS AND THIS GUY IS ON HIS SHID..
Ong he touched base on errthang foo
I found some gems looking up some of those 90's Memphis rappers you mentioned, thanks!
Could have told you that I been listening to these tapes
@@CBlixk6300 👍
It no secret 😂😂 Atlanta knows that Memphis 36 buck skinny pimp many more influenced Atlanta sound no branier
Trap muzik was coined as such mainly about its content. It just so happened to adopt a certain sound. When T.I. first introduced the term and yes he is the first to put those two words together, it was not focused on just the sound. It wasn’t until Jeezy and Gucci started rapping on the shawty reds and zaytoven that were obviously Memphis inspired… thus creating the SOUND of Trap Muzik.
Yup. Waking up 2007-2008 in the AM hearing some jeezy or Gucci was the deal💯
u made the best Memphis rap documentary not that Memphis rap “Sigil” bullshit 😂😂❤❤
🤣🤣
MEMPHIS 💯 invented the style🔥🔥
I personally put No-limit in the mix too in terms of proto "trap" music. Especially those early Master-P records.
When I search for a music doc this is what I’m looking for s tier content
This video all facts three 6 mafia and all of Memphis made this sound even look at Chicago drill and DJ Paul and Lord infamous 1st mixtape is Portait of a serial Killa back in 1991 and even the Gangs they repped like the 4 corner Hustlers and Gangster Disciples way b4 Chicago Drill or Chicago rappers blowing up
Yeah but all those gangs are from chicago so what you saying
@@Dj_Rancho6448 Chicago rappers weren't banging in their songs back then. If you know anything about Memphis and Chicago have a lot of gang ties. However, back then the rappers from Chicago wasn't talking about their gang affiliation like LA was in the 90s. Memphis rappers that mentioned Chicago gangs in their songs before even Chicago artists.
Mane this video take me back to manassas high school in scutterfield in the 90s playa fly shank and chrome good hood days mane
Can somebody make a playlist for this video please. I love everything Memphis
Thank you for mentioning my cousin Snootie Wild. R.I.H. Snootie Wild
U need to give these early trap producers credit for doing it different they could have went down the boombap route but came up with something completely different
im glad you made this mane
Spaceghostpurrp bro... He could have gotten mainstream success if he kept it the way it was. So sad he fell of, out of every rapper sgp was the most unique ngl
He really was
He from Florida
I'm gonna bring memphis raps to Quebec City!!!!
I’ve been on a old school Memphis kick recently and it’s so insane how modern a bunch of it sounds with the triplet flows and those 808s and high-hat rolls. Everyone always thinks of the East and West coasts when it comes to rap, and for good reason obviously but Memphis is definitely the most underrated region when it comes to the influence it’s had on todays music, it kinda can’t be overstated how important that Memphis sound was
Also there’s so much of it! You can spend all day listening to those early mixtapes. I can only imagine the amazing music that’s unfortunately lost to time since I’m sure a bunch of those early mixtapes are gone or have never been uploaded anywhere
swear i thought i was the only one who knew this in my heart to be true
Memphis probably has the deepest roster of underground rappers outside of New York. This video would be 5 hours if you named all of them
fuck new york memphis undefeated
Good video bro, but you forgot a lot of 90's kings here. What about Shawty Pimp, the Gimisum Family etc?
this is the closest thing Trap has to a Ken Burns doc. thank you for making
You gotta listen to pretty tony get buck, i check out blow da whistle sampled it
Never knew how Memphis was underrated
very dope and accurate video props
N.W.A. and Geto Boys rapped bout det work in the mid 80's
U gotta do a Geto Boys video that would be 🔥and South Park Coalition because Houston is the godfather of horrorcore rappers and Playa Fly 1st tape was Out the darkness of the cut and you forgot Al Kapoke Signin To E40 and Sikwitit records
Don't forget sacramento tho we had a huge hand in making it popular
Good channel 🔥
Let’s be real
Memphis started it all..
I talk to Lil Whyte pretty regularly on TH-cam. He's totally clean now and staying that way.
I love the "..and another rapper called Bones" 😂
8ball MJG Comin Out Hard - Niggas like Us.
🔥 🔥 🔥
M TOWN WHAT UP
The likes are at ‘666’, it feels downright disrespectful to interfere with that.
This was good
Aint no city like my city mane!!! #BigMemphis
ASAP Rocky from Harlem NY knows the real, when a New York shows respect instead of hating. Thas wazzup
This is spot on!!!!!!!!!!
Damn I appreciate you for this man, people don’t understand. Memphis was literally 30 years ahead of everyone else musically. I would live to work with you, as we are opening a Memphis studio, I would love to see if we could get with you to produce copies of this and maybe you could sell them in our studio. It will be a multipurpose content creative studio space. Is there a way to connect with you. I love when people know it’s stuff.
Preciate it, you can reach me at Newschoolstoriesinfo@gmail.com, but you have my permission to download it and do what you want with it

Same here. People called Memphis music wack and now their favorite artist sample them and they listen to sounds we been listening to for years thinking its new.
@@imn0tgarbageon ma
Good video! It would be great if you uploaded the videos with a Spanish translation so we could share this information with more people around the world!
🎉
If yall aint listen to Gimisum Family they sum of the rawest underground memphis rappers they have that grimey evil shyt.
Immortal lowlife as well if u looking for that type of music. Amazing
Great video and mention of brk n purrp
Tommy wright 3rd 💯 🔥
Keep it up man
TH-cam military mic myers/jared hudson watching 👀 this in south memphis 🔥 🎶 memphis tn
U didnt do Skinny Pimp enough justice
When you see me in the hood act like you know me🎶🎶
This was good and almost accurate except for one thing, you left out a legendary underground gangsta rap group from South Memphis who really lived what they rapped about and that's, G-Train and L.M.G Mafia
"Lemoyne Garden Smoking Onion"- D.J Spanish Fly
"If you aint claiming LMG fxck yall hoes- Three 6 Mafia
"I think im G-Train"- Yo Gotti
"Smoking Chicken eating Chicken and im bumping G-Train" -Young Dolph
"Don't make me take it back to LMG"- Finesse 2tymes
"L.M.G Rest in peace to G-Train nigga LMG"- Blac Youngsta
L.M.G also have thier own mural across the street from the Stax museum and have documentaries on the History Channel/Gangland(You should watch it)and TH-cam and most of those main artist you just named gave G-Train and L.M.G Mafia a shout out, thier flowers and respect as you can see.
So the next time you decide to do a documentary about someone city make sure you have all the information and receipts.
The original phrase "Trap" came about because of Ghetto Mafia from Atlanta. Nobody mentioned trap in any of their music prior to them. Go look them up
Playa fly mentions the word "trap" In Dj Paul - Slangin Rocks (1994)
@@elpaletero123 Ghetto Mafia debut around 93. Paul use to sample a lot of music from ATL and MIA on those mixtape. I got a few of the original cassettes
Hitman Sammy Sam and Kilo was saying trap in the early 90's.
Dude Gotti been beefing with 3 6 since 2004.. Kia Shine got Gotti his buzz outside of memphis...These are all facts!!!
Gangsta pat almost got ❤❤signs to easzye ruthless
GANGSTER PAT #wow
Most Memphis rappers had very satanic/horror themes because most of these rappers claim that living in Memphis was like living in hell
SGP💯
Can we get a playlist of the songs used?
Bro, you forgot about DJ Sound
MANESTREAM
Backyard 196 🤘
Maaane it is a good video but mane you can't talk about origins of Memphis rap without talking about DJ SOUND & THE FRAYSER CLICK !!!!!!! Who had a huge influence on Memphis rap , Lil Yo was in this click. If you dont know them well go listen to them and yo will understand what i'm talking about 😉 much love from France 😁
DJ ZIRK
Eric Gales even put out a rapp tape
Drake dad from Memphis and Toronto
You ain’t even hit the real underground. It’s soooo many others here that were really involved in the street life of Memphis and were much more than rappers. A lot of these guys you got in this video wasn’t even in the streets like that. They was rapping about things they saw and never did. Find some of these lesser known artists in Memphis and you’ll see exactly what I mean .
Enlighten us
Man what? Make that make sense
@@sidneywilder2731 you’d have to live here to know what I’m talking about. It’s the same in every city homie. You have them guys who look like they thoroughbred, and don’t even have a parking ticket. Then you have the ones who really be with the shit. A lot of them guys in that video had money, both parents, recourses. How they G? They stepped in the game. It’s some cats here who was born in the game. Do ya homework.
@@TonySamboDjangohes mostly talking about shit that talks about trap....
@@TonySamboDjangogenuine question but could you recommend some dudes who were rapping but also really with the shits from Memphis? I’m just really into hearing authentic reality rap and Memphis in particular has a unique street culture and vibe.
Didn't even mention Seed of 6ix
Playa fly
#MemphisJookin #MemphisJookin
Spanish fly then pretty Tony and gangsta Pat.
Being from Tennessee I wouldn’t say they the creators of trap music the creators of crunk yes actually squeaky and zirk created crunk music three six mafia shine a light on it lil Jon made it mainstream
Memphis still made the production style for crunk AND trap.
@@Dj_Rancho6448 there’s really no difference when it comes to the production the only thing different is the subject matter one city making fight music and the other city making drug dealing music atlanta created snap music
@@iamsouthernmackmook Memphis was making drug dealing related music since dj Spanish fly though. I’m not trying to argue either bc I understand your point Atlanta definitely created the more snap leaning side of trap (Miami bass, clap and snap production, lil Jon type crunk ) Memphis made the current trap style with the snares my brother. If you listen to three six mafias mid and late 90s beats it could pass for a 2024 trap beat bc current producers are going backwards for inspiration
Mane gone tf are you serious, Memphis whole sound was not heard of in the 80s. Hell wasn’t no other cities using 808s hihats and all. You crazy as fuck, when you can trace back 40 years Memphis sound was the only one that remotely trap crunk ect. You sound crazy as hell
@@ZSM901 they just like being contrarians
Lil izzy
Looks like dj zirk wanted to be dj screw
He came out before screw. Years before...
@@ksager123 not true dj screw first tape was 1990 and dj zirk first album was 1993
Why tf they say triplet flow its tongue twisting
why 480p
This whole title Cap as hell. Memphis Horrorcore doesn't have SHIT to do with the origins of Trap Music. That shows me you just wanted to make a video bigging up Memphis but you don't have to discredit Atlanta in the Process. You coulda did your Due Diligence to figure out where it Originated on the ATL side of things.
That's not true. in 1993 playa fly literally said "trapping" on a Memphis beat.. the style that influenced dj toomp ... Who made the trap music album
This is true
This is a poor “sample” to turismo s doc. 😂. Sad boy
Why you keep saying Memphis underground is west coast influenced smh stra8 fabrication. Not true.
Memphis before 93 was definitely west coast influenced...production wise at least
Al Kapone....
have you not heard their earlier works?
@@Dj_Rancho6448skinny pimp, dj paul and lord infamous too...
"Rockstar Lifestyle"? You mean horrorcore lol
Since the 90s you mean the 80s
Ann Arbor started it
What about suicideboys
New Orleans
What about em'?
They can't even say the word "music".
Mursic
You forgot about DJ Sound…… he did a ton of producing for Lil Yo who became Yo Gotti. The whole frayser click. How could you forget about that lol….. I had a feeling this would be lacking important details. You also forgot Blackout, who also produced for many Memphis legends. Also forgot Dj Fela, DJ Pinky, Dj livewire….
You’re talking about how Memphis is so underground but you’re only covering the most mainstream parts…. Not doing it any justice. Low key hated this video and disliked it lmao. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Maybe I’m taking this way too serious lol.
But you really left a whole stone unturned by not touching base on those producers and the artists that they produced for. Memphis music doesn’t revolve around three 6 mafia
True😊
Engineer by Archie ball head I know bald head I know playa fly I know gangster black I went to school with Lord infamous he went to East high School I am Memphis veteran
They can't even say the word "music" properly yet you're saying that they created a new genre of music. Damn.
So who did?
Lmao y’all so out of touch, the whole world know Memphis created real sub genres. And what’s a correct way to talk. The white way? There is different accents dialects ect for a reason. I guess people from England France etc can’t talk then lmao y’all logic is dumb
