There is no doubt Juicy J and Three 6 Mafia are hugely influential in the rap game.
However, Juicy's recent flex about how influential may need to be fact-checked.
Juicy J (@therealjuicyj) says he gets paid off 90% of the music that is out right now because of how many artists sample music from Three 6 Mafia — “I love when people sample.. every time I get that email, I approve.”

"I feel the new trends is the old trends like Three 6 Mafia because everybody is sampling Three 6 Mafia. We started the trend. On some real sh*t, five to six samples a day. I get paid off pretty much every song, like 90 percent of the songs that is out right now. It's a blessing. I love when people sample. Everytime I get that email I approve. So I feel like I don't have to adapt to the trend because all the music sounds like and flows sound like old Three 6 Mafia. So I keep doing what I'm doing."
Do you think Juicy is engaging in extreme hyperbole or is on his way to being a billionaire?
