Known for its darkness, heavy bass, and fast flows; Memphis Rap originated in the early '90s with the likes of DJ Squeeky, DJ Zirk, DJ Spanish Fly, and early Three 6 Mafia. Perhaps most notably, it was Memphis Rap, along with Miami Bass, that laid the groundwork for Crunk and Trap. Memphis Rap was crucial to the Horrorcore movement, as its grimey and often sinister production complemented its hardcore lyricism. Additionally, it was the first style of rap to feature true tongue twisting.

Are there any old videos of 90s Memphis live shows?

Only triple 6 and Tommy wright shows I’ve seen are from more recent/2000s. But I feel like they had to have some live shows back then. Link some if you can

Triplet flow

Just at home listening to some of my favorite Memphis tracks. I’m wondering if any of you guys can actually rap back your favorite songs word from word without messing up when flow comes in hot? I try my hardest but got damn I keep getting the damn words tangled up no matter how many times I hear the song. I just start mumbling some shit just to keep on beat. 😅🤣

Where is this sample originally from?

This clave pattern has been sampled in a lot of memphis tracks and I’ve always wondered who created it originally.

It was most likely dj spanish fly but if so which track was it first featured in?

It appears in a lot of his early stuff including shoottriggaman 1:52
