    majority of these "murder samples" are actually just sampled from cassettes of different horror films while producers experimented to get the darkest, grimiest, most horrific sound that they could
    for example, lil grimm, who produced "Deep Into The Woods" sampled different parts of a Halloween cassette in his music (in the song, i also think he actually just sampled a death rattle from a horror movie or from a snuff film)
    also some artists, such as DJ Paul and Criminal Mafia have made skits of "murders" in their tracks with them pretending to be someone begging for their life (which i think is just them trying to be edgy or possibly mocking someone they might have actually murdered)

    Actually it all started with Spanish fly, at club no name/ club expo, eight ball and mjg, dj squeaky, triple six mafia, we all just jumped out there and gave it a shot, some of us were successful, but for the most part not many Memphis rappers became mainstream artists, what sets us apart as underground artists is we do what the fuck we want to do,but for me the person who really should have became major was gangsta pat.

    The real reason Three 6 Mafia became really famous fast and fell into obscurity are for several reasons, they had help to get connections to get into the mainstream and since the beginning of their career DJ Paul & Juicy J have been really terrible of handling business with being shady and slimy from the local artist during their time to $uicideboy$ as of recent. Which is why not only their members but their camp started leaving and having the “Last 2 Walk”
