I guess here is my hot take: Tommy Wright III is the most underrated producer of all time and one of the most influential and Memphis rap is better than what any other region made. Especially late 80’s/early to mid 90’s. It didn’t get the shine it deserved partly because of the satanic panic and because it was raw as hell, DIY, and punk as fuck.
The lore surrounding the scene is also the wildest shit ever. Sure, suge knight dangling someone out of a window is cool and all, but rumors/legends of Memphis rappers rappers practicing ritual magick, sacrificing people and recording it so they could sample it on their tapes is way fucking gnarlier.
Also fuck Eminem.
