Three 6 Mafia - Last 2 Walk

“Winning a best original song Academy Award for “It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp” (from “Hustle & Flow”) didn’t exactly inspire a spirit of highbrow subtlety in the two remaining members of Memphis’ Three 6 Mafia. On “Last 2 Walk,” the group’s repeatedly delayed follow-up to 2005’s breakthrough “Most Known Unknown,” DJ Paul and Juicy J profess their interest in drugs on “Weed, Blow, Pills” and their affection for oral sex on “I’d Rather,” where the pair admit, “I love having sex, but I’d rather get some head.” Still, “Last 2 Walk” should satisfy longtime Three 6 fans. In addition to a handful of collaborative tracks with the likes of Akon and Good Charlotte, the set contains plenty of the woozily psychedelic hip-hop that made Paul and Juicy unlikely stars in the first place.—Mikael Wood”
