Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Three 6 Mafia carved an enduring legacy in the rap world.
The group’s influence transcends subgenres, reaching the mainstream as well.
“Stay Fly” was a major hit, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It remains one of Three 6 Mafia’s most successful and recognizable songs.
And it still goes off in the club today.
This sample is what gives the song its distinctive, laid-back groove.
“Stay Fly” has been referenced and sampled numerous times in popular culture.
It even appeared in the 2006 comedy film “Jackass Number Two.”
(I looked everywhere and couldn’t find the clip online).
The boys all got together and performed “Stay Fly” again 2 years ago for Verzuz.
And they’re actually doing shows again.
Most notably, one in Brooklyn with Project Pat at our friends' spot The Mirage.
Really hoping to fly in for this one and cover it for Backstage.
