Hip-Hop Listening Club of the Week #255: Three 6 Mafia - Chapter 2: World Domination

Welcome to HHH Listening Club!

Today we'll be listening to Chapter 2: World Domination by Three 6 Mafia

This album was selected by /u/ksweet98

Background by /u/ksweet98

The mighty Three 6 Mafia are very frequently brought up around these parts for their influential style and sound, but very rarely do I see any album other than Mystic Stylez or Most Known Unknowns get brought up. Chapter 2: World Domination, their third studio album, dropped in 1997 and featured their first taste of real fame, being their first Gold record and containing the hit "Tear Da Club Up '97". At this point, Triple 6 did not abandon the dark horrorcore-esque sounds of their early work, but they were moving forward and evolving that sound which proved to net more mainstream success. DJ Paul & Juicy J start to make beats that you would be hearing 20 years later, it's fascinating how well this album aged and how much hip hop moved in a direction that Three 6 had perfected decades ago. Songs like "Tear Da Club Up '97" and "Hit A Muthafucka" could be released today and nobody would bat an eye.

Personally, this album marks a perfect blend of my favorite aspects of Three 6 Mafia; the in your face high energy Three 6 on their later records and the hellish production and subject matter of their earlier work. My favorite joint on this record is the Lord Infamous solo track, "Anyone Out There". This song pairs phenomenal storytelling and vivid imagery with Lord Infamous' high skill over one of DJ Paul & Juicy J's most guttural and layered beats. An absolute must hear for fans of horrorcore music. Another aspect of this album that makes me gravitate to it over other Three 6 releases is the lineup of members, we get all of my favorites on this album before they dropped out. Lord Infamous, Koopsta Knicca, and Gangsta Boo are all on this and giving top tier performances.

Overall, this album is just a fantastic and important chapter in the history of Three 6 Mafia, and as a huge fan it culminates into my second favorite album of theirs, a must listen to those who enjoy any of their other work and or southern rap in general.

[DISCUSSION] Jay-Z - Magna Carta... Holy Grail (5 years later)

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:48 AM PDT

Been about 5 years since Jay-Z dropped this album. How does everyone feel about this release? Has your opinion been altered since 2013? How does it compare to the rest of Jay's discography?

I personally feel that this album aged like fine wine. I feel like this could be the last album from Jay where he goes completely berzerk and braggadocios. The title track with Justin Timberlake is a song I can never get out of my head. Tom Ford is a definite banger from front to back. Fuckwithmeyouknowigotit was a summer anthem back then. The Frank feature on Oceans is silk and mesmerizing (but what Frank feature isn't lol). F.U.T.W is another summer banger from him on this project. The Nas feature on BBC is great. Nickels and Dimes is a melodic closer to Jay's 12th solo work.
