As a group act, Hypnotize Minds goes by the stage name Hypnotize Camp Posse. [1] History1996—1999At the end of 1996, DJ Paul and Juicy J had a fallout with Nick Scarfo. The three had founded the record label Prophet, the record label that released Mystic Stylez. A lengthy legal lawsuit followed between the 2 sides over Prophet. It was at this time when Paul and Juicy laid the framework for Hypnotize Minds, their own independent label which would become the powerhouse for Three 6 Mafia music. In 1997, Three 6 Mafia and Hypnotize Minds inked a record label deal with Relativity for distribution. In 1997, Hypnotize Minds and Three 6 Mafia signed a deal with Sony and began working on what would become their first RIAA certified album, World Domination. Polishing up their darker sound for a more palatable aesthetic while still retaining their authenticity, Chapter 2: World Domination went on to reach RIAA Gold status, selling over 800,000 copies in America. The LP peaked at no. 40 on The Billboard Top 200. The LP included the club anthem “Tear Da Club Up”. At this point in the group's evolution, DJ Paul and Juicy J began expanding their brand and focused on developing Hypnotize Minds. Along with Three 6 Mafia, they brought along several artists from their original label in their transition to Hypnotize Minds, creating the "Hypnotize Camp Posse. Over the next few years, Hypnotize Minds would put out The Kaze (trio of Project Pat, M.C. Mack and Scan Man)’s Kamakazie: Timez Up, Indo G’s, Angel Dust, Gangsta Boo’s Enquiring Minds , Project Pat’s Ghetty Green, and Hypnotize Camp Posse’s self titled album (Hypnotize Camp Posse). In 1999, Tear Da Club Up Thugz, a subgroup of Three 6 Mafia members in the founding trio of DJ Paul, Juicy J, and Lord Infamous, released CrazyNDaLazDayz, which is recognized as one of if not the first album made entirely in the “Crunk” production style. The album included Juicy J’s solo, “Slob On My Knob”, and went on to be certified Gold by the RIAA. CrazyNDaLazDayz peaked at no. 18 on the Billboard Top 200 music chart. Later that year group member Koopsta Knicca’s debut album, Da Devil’s Playground: Underground Solo, was released independently, though like all the Hypnotize Minds albums, was still produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J. 2000-2005In 2000, the group soared to new heights in the "Crunk" music genre, carried by their most 2nd successful LP, Sixty 6, Sixty 1. The album went on to achieve RIAA Platinum status, a 1st for the group, and spawned the single "Sippin on Some Syrup", which featured UGK and Project Pat. 2000 represented a troubling year of sorts for the group. The Prophet Posse, which to this point had still been working closely with Hypnotize Minds in an auxiliary-type relationship, disbanded, and its members who had not made the transition to Hypnotize Minds ceased making music with Three 6 Mafia and the rest of Hypnotize Minds. Moreover, group member Koopsta Knicca was forced out of Three 6 Mafia due to ongoing legal issues which culminated with his 2000 robbery incarceration, which voided his contract with Sony and forbade him from recording with the group. Koopsta Knicca was notably absent from the album cover of “When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6 Sixty 1” and music videos that accompanied tracks on the album due to his incarceration (He was in the music video for "Who Run It", though), despite still being a member of the group at the time of the album's release. Despite losing Koopsta Knicca from its ranks and cutting ties officially with their original label, Three 6 Mafia and Hypnotize Minds were still successful. In 2001, the group released the soundtrack to the Hypnotize Minds-produced film, Choices. The film kept the Three 6 Mafia name and Hypnotize Minds brand growing. Moreover, Juicy and Paul successfully positioned Project Pat to become the new star of Hypnotize Minds, with his 2001 LP Everythangs Workin' hitting #4 on the Billboard 200 and being certified Gold by the RIAA, being thus far the only Three 6 Mafia affiliate or member to release a RIAA-certified solo album. 2001 also saw Gangsta Boo leave Three 6 Mafia and Hypnotize Minds following the release of Choices: The Album, citing a variety of reasons including group dynamics, religion, alleged financial mismanagement and her desire to pursue a solo career. In 2002, Juicy J and DJ Paul re-released their remastered and dramatically updated "Vol. 10" and "Vol. 16" albums respectively as Chronicles of the Juice Mane: Underground Album, and Underground Volume 16: For Da Summa. These LPs represented their solo studio LP debuts and the last piece of some of their older sound, effectively giving way to full on Crunk. In 2003, the latest incarnation of Three 6 Mafia, in DJ Paul, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, and Crunchy Black, released their album Da Unbreakables. Spawning hit singles such as "Ridin' Spinners" and "Testin' My Gangsta", the album was a success, with the RIAA certifying it Gold by the RIAA. In 2004, Three 6 Mafia began to mobilize for what would become their domination over hip-hop. They were working on a sequel to their 2001 movie, with it another studio LP, and DJ Paul, Juicy J, and Hypnotize Minds's Frayser Boy, were about to ink a deal with the directors of Hustle & Flow to write an original track for the film that would ultimately result in the group winning an Oscar. During 2005, many members of Three 6 Mafia had left, and with that even more affiliates, but into the fold other acts such as Project Pat cropped up as successes to keep the camp moving forward. This moving forward reached its zenith in 2005-2007 for Three 6 Mafia, wherein they became superstars of hip-hop. Firstly, Hypnotize Minds dropped the sequel to their Choices movie, Choices II: The Setup, and a studio album to go along with it that sold 400,000 copies. Secondly, Hypnotize Minds released Three 6 Mafia's most commercially successful LP, Most Known Unknown, which charted at #3 on the Top 200 and went on to sell 1,600,000 copies in the United States, becoming their second album to go Platinum in America and their best selling overall. The LP, which sold over 125,000 copies in its first week of release, featured 3 successful singles: Side 2 Side (the remix featured Project Pat and Bow Wow), Poppin' My Collar (the remix featured Project Pat), and Stay Fly (the remix featured Project Pat, Slim Thug, and Trick Daddy as well as new verses from Three 6 Mafia). Stay Fly is Three 6 Mafia's most commercially successful song, being certified Double Platinum in America. The song featured 8Ball & MJG and Young Buck. The song also peaked at no. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 music charts. Poppin' My Collar, the remix which featured Project Pat, was certified Platinum by the RIAA and peaked at no. 21 on the Billboard Top 100. Also in 2005, Hypnotize Minds released an additional film, the comedy, Clean Up Men. Artists (partial list)
