I think it’s safe to say that DJ Paul, Juicy J, and the whole Three 6 Mafia have done a lot for Hip Hop, yet they don’t get the recognition they deserved. They questioned the higher ups about the denial in their 2005 release, Most Known Unknown. If the industry has turned the blind eye to what they’ve accomplished, I’d imagine they view Project Pat, Juicy J’s brother and Three-6 affiliate, like the half-sibling from your Dad’s side chick.

Pat was giving us a visual of Memphis long before First 48 aired it’s first episode. However, Mista Don’t Play: Everythangs Workin, put him on a larger scale. “Chicken Head,” the album’s lead single, was the bait and hook. The La Chat-feature turned out to be a humorous–but dope–battle of the sexes.

“Always in my face, talkin this and that/
Girl I had to buy some rims for da Cadilac,” Pat spits.

La Chat responds: “You riding clean, but ya gas tank is on E/Be stepping out ain’t no descent shoes on ya feet.”

“Chicken Head” had commercial appeal, but that’s about as close it would get. “If You Ain’t from My Hood” and “Gorilla Pimp” was for from a top Hot 100 track.

Memphis wouldn’t be Memphis without the Booty clubs. Pat made sure he catered to the exotic dancers of the world in “Ooh Nuthin’.”

“Life We Live,” my favorite track from the album, finds Pat reflecting on the trials and tribulations that had gotten him to a level of success.

Mista Don’t Play was so gangsta, I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually influenced First 48. Amazingly, it peaked at the number 4 spot on Billboard 200 and was certified Gold.

Pat has a flow and cadence like no other. Ironically, no rapper has attempted to emulate. However, when it comes to the “North, North,” they know the business!
