Welcome to Hollyhood

Apr 5, 2007

As the first African-American rap group to ever take home an Academy Award, Memphis' own Three 6 Mafia have all the credentials you need to take Hollywood by storm, and that's just what their going to do -- Hollyhood style! On the day of their trip from Memphis to Los Angeles, Three 6 front-man, Juicy J, rags on DJ Paul -- trying to convince him to let the crew take the Rolls-Royce on their 24 hour trek. Paul is reluctant, pointing out that a Rolls in LA is no big deal, but in the end he gives in. Before they head out, the guys pick up their assistants, Big Triece and Computer, and then head to the world famous Rendezvous for some classic Memphis barbeque. There, they meet up with Project Pat and Juicy J's dad, Father Houston -- who is a preacher (Shhh! No cussing!). After a meal fit for "the King," the boys make their way to LA. They instantly fall in love with the California scenery -- especially the ladies! When they arrive at their new pad, it's definitely right up their ally. Only a short while after settling in, they get a call informing them that they have been asked to write a song for Jackass 2. The only catch is that they have to have the song completed and ready for review by the coming Friday! They jump in the studio, and with the inspiration of "crazy," they pump out the jams and come up with a high energy rap/rock song that all of the Jackass crew love. After a good meeting, they head out to the LA club scene to party up and even run into fellow MTV reality show alum Travis Barker, of Meet the Barkers, who welcomes them to their new city. Later on boys want to make nice with the neighbors, so they plan an old-fashioned listening party, like they would in Memphis. While the boys prep the food, Computer heads around the neighborhood to pass out the invites. Unfortunately for them, only one party-goer shows up. Fern, a fellow musician, makes her way over and everyone makes the most of it. They eat dinner and play some of their tunes for their piano playing neighbor. Although Fern is a little more traditional that most Three 6 fans, she is instantly won over by the Mafia. With one more new friend and fan under their belt, the boys are ready for their next Hollyhood adventure.

Slap That Sucka

Apr 12, 2007

After only a short time in their Hollywood mansion, the Mafia gets a call informing them that they have to move out... and pronto! Their lease has been terminated due to a very large man peeing on the neighbor's house. Yes, while previously passing out invitations to the gang's listening party, Big Triece took a pit stop on none other than Ms. Jennifer Love Hewitt's Hollywood home! Once they all settle into their new crib, Juicy J and DJ Paul start brainstorming for talent, as they have just been given their own record label under Warner Bros Music. In the midst of tossing around ideas for country rappers and Chinese girls singing the blues, they get a call from their agent putting the pressure on heavy. Warner Bros. wants new talent, and they want it now. The boys recall Lil Wyte, a young rapper from Memphis that they had been working with. Thinking he has the right stuff to represent, they book him a flight to L.A. to star in a showcase. Although this is good for the Mafia, it means trouble for Computer, who is Lil Wyte's arch nemesis. Before Lil Wyte's arrival, Computer and Big Triece vow to completely ruin the rapper's stay in L.A. After showing Three 6 what new rhymes he has to offer, they are immediately discouraged. Feeling that Lil Wyte's rhymes are whack, they encourage him to write better hooks and to relate to his audience more. Latching onto Three 6's doubt, Computer starts ragging on Lil Wyte for having such lame rhymes and poor drive. Fed up with Computer's lip, Lil Wyte throws a drink in his face and takes off running. Computer chases him all the way into the recording studio, where Lil Wyte locks himself inside to lay down some solid tracks. After spending almost a day recording, he emerges from the studio with something he is proud to put his name on. He plays the song for Juicy J and DJ Paul, who are impressed by Lil Wyte's new material. Everything is all go for Lil Wyte's talent showcase. Feeling some jealousy, Big Triece and Computer try to convince Juicy J and DJ Paul to put them in the showcase too. Both Three 6'ers know the two aren't made for rapping, but tell them that they must prove themselves if they want a break. Big Triece and Computer head upstairs to work on some material of their own, but just keep ending up with repetitive two-liners. At Lil Wyte's showcase, Big Triece and Computer sneak on the stage and try to perform before the showcase begins. The audience boo's the two off the stage and Juicy J steps up to introduce Lil Wyte. His performance is dead on and Warner Bros. approve the fresh new rapper.

Makin' a Gangsta' Ass Movie

Apr 19, 2007

Now that they are in Hollywood, Juicy J and DJ Paul are ready to get their Spielberg on! The two want to write and produce their own movie while they are still hot on the scene. They toss around ideas and conclude that that they would like to put together a film that incorporates all genres, since they feel that is missing in the movie business. They send out their assistants, Big Triece and Computer, to find books explaining the proper procedure for writing screen plays, scripts and pitching and shopping around movies. Big Triece and Computer head to a used bookstore and find some books they think will be helpful. Later, Big Triece gets a call from Three 6's manager, saying that the boys have a meeting lined up with a very prominent production company to pitch their idea. The meeting is scheduled for 2:30 in the afternoon, and the producer is a stickler for punctuality. Unfortunately for Three 6, Big Triece notes that the meeting is at 3:30 -- making the boys an hour late. At their meeting, the producer is less than impressed by their punctuality and movie pitch for "Streets of Memphis: A Gangster Ass Movie." He tells them to develop the pitch more -- incorporating a stronger story with a beginning, middle, and end. Concerned with their assistants' performance, Three 6 and their manager decided to enroll Big Triece and Computer in "Beyond the Red Carpet," a celebrity assistant school. So while Three 6 is working on movie ideas, Big Triece and Computer get schooled in assisting the stars... kind of. Although much is taught to them about the art of assisting, they are not the best listeners. Needing advice in the movie business, Juicy J and DJ Paul meet with a friend in the industry who gives the boys some critiquing. After that, they feel a little more confident and meet with director Joel Schumacher. To help with the pitch, they bring along some ladies in bikinis who serve Joel slabs of Memphis-style barbeque ribs while holding up mock movie posters. He tells the boys that he likes their movie idea and thinks that they really have something. Later, when Joel's office calls their Hollyhood mansion, a confused Big Triece answers -- saying that there is no Schumacher there and hangs up. It looks like Big Triece needs a little more assistant schooling.

When Kristen meets with Juicy she is initially impressed with his jewelry, but has trouble taking him seriously throughout the course of the date. When Juicy asks her to come back to his place to party with him, Kristen giggles and tells him she is too tired. By the end of the night Juicy finds himself arriving home by himself for the second time in recent history. Computer tells him to cheer up, and brings him to the back yard where there are two beautiful bikini clad models from the gym waiting in the hot tub.

On the way to the auditions he admits to Paul that he's nervous; however is friends are supportive of him, and make it a point let him know that confidence is key. The audition doesn't go a smoothly as Juicy hopes for, and spends most of his time stumbling over his words. The casting director admits that she sees something in Juicy's acting, but thinks he ultimately needs some tweaks. On his way out Juicy convinces her to give him a second chance, but only under the condition that he spends more time preparing for his next reading. When Juicy gets home he immediately gets down to business, and begins to study his script. After spending most of the day practicing, Juicy gets a call from Fern, the only friend the guys have made in their neighborhood, to let the guys know she is planning a visit. When Fern arrives at the house, Juicy makes her sit down with him so they can go over lines with each other. Fern gives Juicy some firm advice and tells him to read slower so that his words don't get eaten up by his heavy southern accent. After spending some time unwinding in the studio with Paul, Juicy begins to feel like he's ready to go for his second shot with the casting director. When he arrives at his audition, both the director and casting director are waiting for him. Even though they are initially put off by Juicy's appearance, the casting director admits that she can see that he put sometime into learning his part. Juicy walks out of the audition with a giant shining grin on his face and reports that the director is going to make his decision and call him back later. When the guys return home, a package addressed to the Three-6 Mafia arrives shortly after, containing the action figures they were scanned for earlier. While Juicy and Paul received their own figures, Computer, Triece, and Pat only receive heads. Despite the lack of bodies, the guys get a kick out of their scaled down versions.

When the guys head out to the Playboy mansion for to have some fun, Juicy visits the notoriously infamous grotto and is inspired. The next day he tells the rest of the guys that they all need to get smoking jackets and cigars so they can have parties like at the mansion. He also says he wants to build a grotto by the pool, and enlists Computer and Treice to make it happen. Computer and Treice eagerly head out to a landscaping surplus center in search of rocks for their grotto. After some hard work, they are quick to congratulate each other on a job well done, but Juicy and Paul aren't as enthusiastic about their work. Unimpressed, Juicy and Paul tell Computer and Trice to head back to the drawing boards and they do just that when they decide to take the rocks from their grotto by the hot tub and transform their room into their personal rock garden. Later on while the guys are busy getting ready for their first party, Juicy gets a phone call from his dad, Father Houston. Father Houston warns Juicy to be careful to avoid the crazy Hollywood party scene, and adds that it can lead him down a road of degradation.. Juicy tells his father that they're just having a small party, but that he has to cut their conversation short because there's someone at the front door. Crunk superstar Lil' Jon is the first guest at the party and he comes loaded with all sorts of favors including hundreds of single dollar bills, cigars, and a very special iced out pimp cup. In order to make up for grotto disaster, Computer provides smoking jackets for all the guys. Before too long the doorbell rings again and several young ladies enter the 'Playa's Mansion' for a long night of partying. The next day the guys are all feeling beat up from the previous night's party. When Juicy gets a call from Rosenberg who says that Father Houston has been calling him non-stop, and is worried about the excessive partying. In order to try and get the guys to tone down their crazy lifestyle, Rosenberg sets up a series of meetings with local charities. Later, Juicy and Paul make their way down to a local tea room to meet with a fancy Hollywood philanthropist. Being from the streets of Memphis, the guys are not used to high-maintenance tea lunches with cucumber sandwiches. They are especially taken aback when the philanthropist asks them to donate some of their money. In the same day the guys meet with representatives from several other charities, but are not convinced that that are interested in donating their money. After some serious indecision, the guys turn to Father Houston for advice. Juicy's Dad suggests that they head down to the local boys and girls club to help out some young kids. Instantly convinced, they head down the next day to meet with dozens of young people at the local boys and girls club where they spend the remainder of the day painting murals and playing basketball. The next day the guys decide that they need to raise some money for the kids at the boys and girls club, so they decide to have a bikini car washing fund-raiser, employing the help of some of the girls from the Playboy pmansion. By the end of the day, the guys have had a lot of fun, but barely made any money, so Paul decides reach into his pocket in offer a helping hand. The following afternoon Juicy and Paul head back down to the boys and girls club with a check made out to the rec center, as well as a box full of Three-6 Mafia basketball jerseys for their team. Feeling good about being able to help out, the guys decide to celebrate by throwing a small party.

Going Back to Memphis

May 21, 2007

Since moving to Hollyhood, the guys have found many different ways to keep themselves busy, the problem is they have not had any time to finish their next record. Computer gets a phone call from Rosenberg, Three-6 Mafia's manager says that Lisa Ellis, the president of their record label wants to schedule a meeting with Juicy and Paul. When Computer reports back to Juicy and Paul about the meeting, they are not enthusiastic about attending. Later at the meeting, Lisa tells them that they have to release their next record during the first quarter of the following year. She then follows up with the guys telling them that they have become too distracted in Hollywood and that they need to kick-start their recording schedule into high gear. Juicy is resistant and tells Lisa that he doesn't want to rush the record, but Lisa warns Juicy that if they wait too long, all the hype from their Oscar win will cool off, and they'll have work hard just to rebuild the buzz that they are currently enjoying. Before the end of the meeting, Lisa tells the guys that she is going to check up on them later in the afternoon to see if they have anything that they can turn into the first single. That evening when Lisa stops by the house, she is not impressed when she finds Juicy and Paul lounging around drinking cocktails in the living room. After drinks are served Lisa and the guys hit the studio so she can preview what songs they've recorded. When they only have one uncompleted song for her to listen to, Lisa calls the guys out, saying that they need to get out of Hollywood so they can go some place less distracting. She suggest that the guys head out to the one place that they know they can work in: Memphis. One day, and plain ride later, the guys are back in the dirty south where they were born and raised. On the way out of the airport, the guys brainstorm on ideas for new songs, while most of the ideas that they come up with are duds, Big Triece has the idea of creating a welcome back to Memphis themed song. The first stop after leaving the airport is to see Juicy's dad, Father Houston, for some advice. Father Houston advises them to travel back to their old neighborhood to re-find their roots. The first stop back on the road to insapiration is to Jack Pirtle's, a fried chicken restaurant the guys used to frequent when they still lived in Memphis. After filling up their stomachs with some southern fried comfort food, the guys head downtown to check out some live music. The combination of the southern cooking, and the live music quickly gives Paul and Juicy some great ideas. The next day when the guys hit the studio, Paul puts on a beat, and he begins to brainstorm with Juicy to come up with a list of what people from Memphis like. Before they know it, Juicy and Paul find themselves in the vocal booth laying to rhymes to a smoking new single. With their single under the belt, the guys head back to L.A., confident that Lisa will be happy with the new track. Back in Hollywood, the guys get ready to host a listening party, where their guests can preview their new song, while enjoying some southern style barbeque. At first, the guys begin to worry when no one shows up, but after a little bit of a wait, the doorbell rings and the guests begin to arrive. From the guys' first neighbor Fern, to their protégé Lil Wyte, all of the guys' friends make an appearance. When it comes time for the listening portion of the party, it becomes obvious very quickly that the guys have a hit. As soon as the track starts everyone who is sitting down gets up, and a dance party is started instantly.
