That’s How Mafia Works

A meme that was created by the use of horrible instagram ads for the game “Mafia City”.

It is often misidentified as a meme started/popularised by YouTuber juggernaut, Pewdiepie, on 1/5/2019. However, it’s true origin lies with a video made by YouTuber, Slazo on 30/12/2018, titled “Hilariously Bad Instagram Ads (Mafia City)”.

I would have made it to your party on time, but I was stopped by the Publicly Funded Mafia. They were conducting random searches and thought I looked easy.

Three Six Mafia

Most definitions here are wrong since they don't include Koopsta Knicca. Original members were Koop, Lord Infamous, DJ Paul, Juicy, and Crunchy Black. The later members were La chat and gangsta boo. Project Pat was only an artist with the label who was featured a lot and brother of juicy j. (I think)

"They didn't worship the devil", well probably not, but they did make devil music. The original name of the group was Triple 6 Mafia, which imo was better than their most recent albums. They used horror movie scenes in their music and rapped about the dark side of being in the hood. They glorified killing, drugs, & sex which hypnotized young teens like me lol na but Mystic Stylez was their last triple 6 album I think. Koopsta Knicca (RIP) & Lord Infamous (RIP) rapped more about the devil shit. Juicy J was more a drug rapper. Paul made good beats but sucked at rapping. Crunchy was always wack. ...then they transitioned into crunk "tear the club up" music, then mainstream. Most known unknown was the last good album. Now they just old and shouldn't rap about the things ppl did in the 90s. Da Mafia 6 was wack
Play some of that old Triple Six shit, not that watered down Three Six Mafia and
