Nothing says holiday music like Hypnotized Minds. Ok, maybe not exactly, but anytime Project Pat appears on the iPod is a day worth giving thanks for. Those who were unable to appreciate Project Pat and Three 6′s underground dominance during the late ’90s and early 2000s were cheated out of one of the most unique, and timeless sounds rap ever produced. 

It goes without saying the glory days of Triple 6 Mafia came before the mainstream acclaim. As cliche’ as it sounds, it’s even more true. Regardless of what’s said nowadays, the Mafia (the old and current members) have enough classics that can wrap around a building twice if need be. The memories are plentiful, but that isn’t stopping Juicy J and DJ Paul from still cranking out music.

The new album Laws Of Power is set to drop sometime next year with this Rick Ross assisted cut almost sure to land on the final tracklist. Given the title, the content of the record shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Also be on the lookout for the street album Cutthroat before the end of 2010.

Now I need to go find my When The Smoke Clears, Da Unbreakables and Mista Don’t Play albums. That’s vintage crunk music.
