Double bill of documentaries about American hip hop group Three 6 Mafia and artist Lil Jon.
Three 6 MafiaWith a string of platinum songs, their own MTV reality TV show, and the first rap group to win an Oscar and to perform at the prestigious Academy Awards ceremony, Three 6 Mafia has always been about the music. Find out how these guys went from being barely known to becoming major superstars and what it took to get there. This film follows Three 6 Mafia masterminds Juicy J and DJ Paul through their drenched high-octane collection with the type of bone-crushing lyricism and searing, addictive production values that have become hallmarks of their material for the last decade. From being "Hard out here for a pimp" to "Staying Fly", this video documents how these bad boys became the Kingz of Memphis.
