Besides everything I’ve mentioned about them in a previous post. This group, like many other “gangsta rap” acts has a culture of corruption that goes beyond mere words.
Former member of Oscar-winning rap group in jail
Robert Phillips, known in Memphis hip-hop circles as “Koopsta Knicc,” left the group in 2000. He found himself in Shelby County Jail on Sunday while his former colleagues were cruising the Kodak Theatre’s red carpet with Hollywood’s elite and performing the song from the film “Hustle & Flow.”
…
He is charged with forcing his way into a Memphis home and robbing three people at gunpoint of more than $7,000, a diamond ring, leather jacket and cell phone.

Despite his criminal activity, the group’s old record label still stands by him.
Ex Three 6 Mafia Member Jailed On Oscar Night
…
Knicc (born Robert Phillips) was taken to Memphis’ Shelby County Jail on the same day his former cohorts hit the stage at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles to perform the Oscar Award-winning song “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp.”
…
Earlier this year, he was charged with writing a friend a bad $850 check, and was arrested on three different occasions in 2005.
Cotton Row Recordings, a label that produced several early Three 6 Mafia records, helped Knicc record after he left the group.
“He is as talented as the best performers in the area,” Cotton Row Recordings owner Nico Lyra told reporters. “He was constantly fighting demons… Trouble was constantly knocking on the door.”

Oh “trouble” just knocks on his door. Well Jesus knocks at everyone’s door too. But we see who he decided to let in!
And a current member of the group is reported to have made threats, that may have resulted in attempted murder. (Personally I feel “attempted” murder should be treated like an actual murder. No one that tries to murder someone should get “bonus points” for failing in their attempt.)
Three 6 Mafia’s Crunchy Black Blamed For Shootout
A Memphis radio DJ believes he may have been the intended target of a recent shooting, after receiving threats from Three 6 Mafia’s Crunchy Black.
…
According to a police report, D.J. ‘Lil’ Larry’ Armstrong, stated that he’d received death threats from Black after a nightclub concert by rapper Project Pat last weekend. Armstrong said Black accused him of disrupting the event. He says he also received threatening cell phone calls from Black.
Armstrong was in an adjoining studio when the shots were fired.

What else did you expect from gutter trash? You didn’t think they all were just “talking” about sin and crime did you? The makers of this trash and their product deserve no honors. They deserve nothing but public scorn.
