Juicy J and Three 6 Mafia's influence is all over hip-hop.

There are so many influential rap acts across the genre. From Migos, to Outkast, Griselda, Black Hippy, the list can go on forever. However, it would be a disservice to not recognize Three 6 Mafia and put them in that conversation as icons in the rap group sphere. From classics such as "Slob On My Nob," and others, it is hard to deny their cultural impact in hip-hop. The Memphis rap scene has so much to offer, and Juicy J, along with the Mafia, are possibly the biggest names from there.

Besides the names associated with Three 6 Mafia, their hits have been sampled and interpolated throughout so many rappers' songs. For example, A$AP Ferg references "Slob On My Nob" in his hit song, "Plain Jane." On the chorus, Ferg raps in a similar flow and borrows some lyrics, "Ride with the mob, Alhamdulillah
Check in with me and do your job Ferg is the name, Ben Baller did the chain
Tourneau for the watch, presi Plain Jane." Additionally, Juicy J references "Slob On My Nob" in the remix of "No Limit" by G-Eazy, in which his featured reciting the same lyrics.
