Dub Mafia | zh

La Mafia was formed in Houston Texas, by Oscar De La Rosa (vocalist), and Armando Lichtenberger Jr (accordion) in 1980. The 2 founding members later welcomed Tim Ruiz (bass), Joe Gonzales(drums), Jesus Angel (keyboards) and Viktor (guitar). La Mafia (first known as Los Jovenes) helped popularize the THEN unknown music genre, Tex-Mex or Tejano Music. La Mafia gained world wide achievement doing something unheard of at the time, and touring parts of Mexico and Latin America, which henceforth, boosted La Mafia to the top of the charts and opened the door for Selena and others.

拿美国说唱组合Three 6 Mafia自己的话来讲，他们也许是整个嘻哈音乐界“最熟悉的陌生人”(Most Known Unknown)了。从出道时以恐怖题材歌词娱乐大众的那支传奇地下硬核团队到之后慢慢在主流说唱圈打响名号，再到获得奥斯卡大奖，Three 6 Mafia的成长经历叫许多人眼红过，然而相比他们所取得的成就和在说唱圈闯荡的年份，他们却在嘻哈音乐迷里有着极不相称的低认知度和曝光率。这也难怪他们要把自己叫做“The Most Known Unknown”。 这支来自田纳西州孟菲斯的说唱大组自出道以来人员变动频率极大，但是有两个人却一直是组合不变的“常量”，Juicy J 和DJ Paul，后者既是组合的制作人，又是MC之一。上世纪90年代初的时候，DJ Paul (本名Paul Beauregard)已经是孟菲斯当地最受欢迎的DJ之一了，并且开始自己录制一些磁带来播放。1991年，他和当地另一位当红DJ Juicy J(本名Jordan Houston)以及Lord Infamous (Ricky Dunigan)一起组建了一个名叫“Backyard Posse”的团队，很快三人就将组合名字改为了“Triple Six Mafia”，并开始创作恐怖题材的音乐。组合在自己和好友Nick Scarfo共同创立的Prophet娱乐公司旗下发行了多张EP,随后他们创建了自己的厂牌Hypnotize Minds Records。 正如中国古代三国时期刘关张三人桃园结义，然后到处招募能人贤士一样，DJ Paul等三人很快得到众多地下说唱奇才的投靠，包括了Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca, La' Chat, Project Pat, Killa Klan Kaze和Indo G等人。 1995年，组合更名为Three 6 Mafia并发行了首张正式专辑《Mystic Stylez》。为了扩大乐团的影响力，他们甚至还把攻击矛头指向了说唱乐团Bone Thugs-N-Harmony。 在96年发行了第二张独立唱片《Da End》后，Three 6 Mafia和Relativity唱片公司签订了一份经销合同，并随即在1997年发行了新专辑《Chapter 2: World Domination》以及一系列的Solo作品和附属组合的专辑，同期还诞生了诸如“Tear da Club Up '97”和“Sippin'on Some Syrup”等热门单曲，进一步巩固了Three 6的乐坛地位，并最终被哥伦比亚唱片相中，成功签约。组合领军人物DJ Paul和Juicy J随后和Wu-Tang Clan采取的策略一样，开始大肆扩张自己的势力和提高品牌的名气，他们开始为团队成员Gangsta Boo和Koopsta Knicca发行个人专辑，并帮助制作了Killa Klan Kaze，Tear the Club Up Thugs和Hypnotize Camp Posse等组合附属团体和艺人的专辑，一时间印有Three 6 Mafia“徽章”的专辑开始铺天盖地的袭向说唱音乐市场。与此同时，DJ Paul和Juicy J还将Triple Six Mafia时期的一些地下作品做成合辑推向市场，包括了《Underground Vol. 1: (1991-1994)》, 《Underground Vol. 2: Club Memphis》, 《Underground Vol. 3: Kings of Memphis》。 2003年，经过长时间的等待，Three 6 Mafia终于在哥伦比亚唱片发行了组合在主流厂牌发行的首张专辑《Da Unbreakables》，不过真正让他们获得商业成功的是两年之后发行的《Most...
