Juicy J has claimed that he makes money from the vast majority of modern rap songs.
Sitting down for an interview with Wiz Khalifa for LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s Springhill channel, the Three 6 Mafia legend spoke about how the group’s enduring influence has become a healthy revenue stream for him.
Wiz Khalifa asked Juicy if he keeps tabs on the new wave of artists. The latter confirmed that he did, but not for the reasons one would expect. Juicy J knows who’s popping and who’s not because he gets tons of sample clearance requests on a daily basis. “I feel like the new trends is the old trends,” he explained. “Everybody’s sampling Three 6 Mafia, so I’m already in.” Juicy J went on to estimate that he gets 5-6 sample clearance requests a day from younger artists.
