Juicy J Reveals He Profits from 90% Of New Music Thanks To Sampling

Juicy J claims his Three 6 Mafia hits are still raking in the cash as the vast majority of rappers today use their samples. 

The southern rap legend recently sat down with Wiz Khalifa for an interview with Spring Hill. According to Juicy J, he gets daily sample requests from new rappers and claims he profits from a staggering 90 percent of rap songs. The revelation came after a discussion about the new wave of rappers’ comfort with embracing their individual identities and being inspired by artists like Juicy J. Khalifa asked if Juicy J pays attention to this generation of rappers. Juicy J continued, telling Wiz he gets 5 of six sample requests every single day. Although Juicy J insisted he doesn’t need to adapt, he’s not afraid of venturing into different sounds. Earlier this week, he surprised fans with a jazz rap album titled Ravenite Social Club. The album’s lead single, “To You,” sees the Three 6 Mafia co-founder mourn the deaths of fellow members Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca and Lord Infamous.
