Still thereвЂ™s no denying the straight up stupidity of songs like вЂњShake Dat JellyвЂќ and the fact that вЂњLike a PimpвЂќ is a unnamed remix from Juicy JвЂ™s solo album that offers nothing new here. The mixture of slow grooves and fast drums and guitars on вЂњTestin My GangstaвЂќ is sharp, вЂњMoney DidnвЂ™t Change MeвЂќ is an ominous mixture of piano and timpani, вЂњGhetto ChickвЂќ borrows from an Isley Brothers track thatвЂ™s better than any of the rappers on it, вЂњLetвЂ™s Start a RiotвЂќ is appropriately energetic, and even Akinyele wouldnвЂ™t be mad at вЂњPut Cha Dick in Her MouthвЂќ although feminists probably will be. All of the cleverness of вЂњRidin SpinnersвЂќ is ultimately wasted by an album filled with futile nonsense thatвЂ™s the very epitome of вЂњtalkin loud (and) sayin nothin.вЂќ Only the product of DJ Paul and Juicy J save it from mediocrity. Once you listen to enough Three 6 songs youвЂ™ll recognize the same themes repeated over and over вЂ“ donвЂ™t fuck with us, we the baddest click, we will fuck you up, we start fights in clubs, et cetera et cetera et cetera. What do Three 6 Mafia offer by comparison? If the weakly titled вЂњFuck That ShitвЂќ didnвЂ™t already tell you, these lyrics will:Д¬ause we will start a mother-fuckin a riot

In the pantheon of their Southern compatriots they donвЂ™t distinguish themselves like Devin the Dude does with humor, Eighball does with charm, or Scarface does with charisma and intelligence. No one really disputes if theyвЂ™re as hard as they say, if they push as much weight as they brag, or if they smoke as much dope as they talk, but itвЂ™s hard to really care. Unfortunately if thereвЂ™s one other thing Three 6 Mafia is known for besides the aforementioned three items, itвЂ™s monotonous thuggery in their lyricism. DonвЂ™t be surprised if you hear this song booming out of cars all summer long, with or without the spinners attached. The low end keys and pulsating rhythm get in your head like a rotary drill, and the catchy chorus is interwoven with a silly but effective sample of the girl singing вЂњHe once was a thug from around the wayвЂќ on Eazy-EвЂ™s first solo album (right before he told her to вЂњshut the fuck upвЂќ). The guest verse is excellent, but hardly necessary. IвЂ™m packin my glock, believe it or not, IвЂ™m ready to bustДЄnd down here we drink purple (Man we drink that вЂTuss)ДЄnd if you represent yoвЂ™ hood, go anвЂ™ throw it upвЂќ Since IвЂ™m in the Lamborghini, I ainвЂ™t gonвЂ™ stop IвЂ™m doin one-fifty so IвЂ™m watchin for the cops Nothin but white and yellow rocks in my watch вЂњYeap! I got twenty inch spinners on my drop Three 6 is not taking any chances with this albumвЂ™s first and hottest single though вЂ“ they brought in LilвЂ™ Flip to make it EXTRAВ hot: Of course, when you move as many units as the authors of вЂњTear Da Club UpвЂќ and вЂњSippinвЂ™ on Some SyrupвЂќ do, you can afford it. Plain and simple, the forward momentum of the vehicle keeps a seperate track on the wheel of the rim moving even when the whip comes to a stop вЂ“ hence a вЂњspinner.вЂќ You could say itвЂ™s like making your shit moonwalk, but it doesnвЂ™t come cheap вЂ“ 24 inch Ludacris SPвЂ™s will set you back $1700 EACH.

My carвЂ™s sittin still, but my rims still rollin mayne Oh them people trippin cause they think they seein thangs Gals faint when they see вЂ™em, itвЂ™s hard to breathe like they got asthma вЂњMy rims so shiny they clear like flat screen plasma With their latest album вЂњDa UnbreakablesвЂќ that hit has already emerged вЂ“ the bouncy and infectious вЂњRidin Spinners.вЂќ ItвЂ™s not ground-breaking for rappers to brag about the rims on their cars, but вЂњspinnersвЂќ go that extra length to make onlokers gawk: Appropriately enough, the group Three 6 Mafia is best known for three things: hard-ass trunk-rattling bass, songs that advocate getting crazy in clubs, and at least one song per album that crosses over.
