Because we’ve done so much in music that I didn’t want it to be like, ‘Aw, they’re not good enough.’ Or ‘Aw, they got old.’ Or they’re not creative like they used to be or things ain’t the way they were. Juice can't stand on his own unless he is backing up Katy Perry or being Dr Luke's main to. But it always had me kind of nervous and scared to even do that. Stay Trippy is decent and Juice is good with hooks, style, and mainstream Bieber Boy Style but when it comes to beats and solos by Juice and Paul you actually see why Three 6 Mafia was so popular and gritty and original. Suicdeboys don’t deny they used Three 6 instrumentals in their music, but they do state Juicy J gave them “verbal” permission to use the tracks in exchange for production work on Juicy’s Highly Intoxicated and Shutdaf*ckup mixtapes, which they allege the rapper never compensated them for.Īhead of the lawsuit’s report, Juicy J sat down with Uproxx and discussed the possibility of Three 6 making a comeback: “I always felt like Three 6 Mafia could make a comeback. Juicy J and DJ Paul are seeking $1.2 million from the case for “compensatory and actual damages, including efendants’ profits from infringement, in an amount in excess of $1,200,000” as well as $5.25 million for other damages. The lawsuit claims Cherry and Scrim used the unauthorized samples in order to “trade off and profit from Three 6 Mafia’s original sound and hard-earned success in the hip-hop industry.” The lawsuit documents references the Suicideboys tracks “Mask And Da Glock,” “Smoked Out, Loced Out,” and “BreakDaLaw2K16,” all of which feature nearly identical instrumentals to Three 6 songs.

Juicy J and DJ Paul have reportedly hit Suicideboys members Ruby Da Cherry and Scrim with a copyright infringement lawsuit over their alleged use of uncleared Three 6 Mafia samples.Īccording to XXL, Juicy and Paul originally filed the copyright infringement lawsuit back in late June against Cherry and Scrim for “illegally sampling and stealing” from 35 songs belonging to Three 6.
