GOATs paying homage to GOATs
Three Six Mafia is the most influential group ever in hip hop history
they had the sound since the late 80s and the entire rap game has been centered around it for over a decade, the entire modern rap is based on three six mafia, the beats and the subject matter starting with crunk
Three Six Mafia started crunk music with that tear the club up
then the Atlanta nikkaz stole and it ran with it, as you can see Memphis has always been the real south, all black music comes from memphis off spring of the detla blues so it's only natural it would be the same with hip hop.
Three Six Mafia gave birth to multiple eras beginning with the crunk era, Lil Jon was basically Three Six Mafia rated PG-13
They started the lean shyt with iconic sipping on syrup, nikkaz was not doing these type of drugs back then

how Wayne influential when he on that styrofoam cup buz of Three Six
When Future who's nick name was Dogfood or some goofy ass shyt at the time while he was ironing the dungeon family members clothes, Three Six was the real hard on hoes
Project Pat - Don’t Save Her - YouTube
listen to these country rap tunes, goddamn it
shyt all still fire them beats still fire
even trap music, young Jeezy type of music is a three six offspring
Project Pat - Raised In the Projects (Video) - YouTube
and of course before any of they cave birth to Horrorcore, which was taken over by cacs
Lord Infamous- Devil shyt - YouTube
of course the drill music, Three Six invented that and got classics
Triple six mafia - Mask and Da Glock - YouTube
the EVIL DEMONIC music started with them, their name use to be Triple Six Mafia, and talked about devil worshipper, horrorcore
They the kings of this shyt, everything out today is built upon everything they did, the shyt insane

In the past 20 years? Absolutely
Well sounding like someone else isn't the end all/be all to influence. As I've said before there's different aspects to influence including, but not limited to:
1) inspiring other artists to make music
2) changing the way other people approach making music
3) being a standard bearer or measuring stick for greatness
As in their sound was influential? Absolutely
You don't have to be the most popular to be most influential. Just gotta have something worth taking from
Outkast was enormous. How many sons do they have though? These two things got nothing to do with each other.
It's 3-6 as a collective and Wayne as an individual

gonna be honest
none of those sound half as tangible and measurable as what the music sounds like
What's crazy is that people equate Three Six Mafia with current Hip Hop when Hip Hop Is like 40+ years old and people are in here saying Three Six Mafia influenced 20+ years of Hip Hop, which is in error. A lot of the praise Three Six gets is due to them being underdogs for most of their career. People slept heavily on them even after they went platinum, after winning an Oscar, and after putting out another platinum album.
Yes, there's a lot of people who currently sample their music, remake songs, and have the chants in their hooks. It doesn't really equate to them being the most influential Southern act, when you look at The fact that near every artist who came out The South has Geto Boys as inspiration for them even wanting to rap. Wouldn't even really be a Southern Hip Hop if not for Geto Boys.

To you because a lot of you don't research and draw conclusions based off the surface and what's current. You can't put someone in the category of "most" without looking at both the past and present.

It’s gotten to the point where people aren’t even sampling them, they’re just lifting their entire songs. The answer is yes 
Breh, how many sons someone has doesn't mean they are most influential. Put it this way, many rappers are influenced by Nas. How many of them actually sound like him? Illmatic is one of the most impactful and influential albums ever. How many albums sound like Illmatic? Kendrick cited that album as an influence, but none of his albums actually sound like Illmatic.
OutKast isn't the most influential group, but they exert a great amount of influence on Hip Hop without actually having people sound like them. Lil' Wayne and this whole "I'm an alien" thing in Hip Hop Is Kast all day. Before them, Ball & G talked about being space age, but Kast actually took it to whole other level in a literal and spiritual sense starting with ATLiens. You saw it in the artwork for "Elevators" and the videos. When we get to Aquemini and hear Andre 3000 add these effects to his voice where he sounds like an alien, we hear Kendrick do this on his albums.
I get what you're saying and I feel you but when you're talking influence there's degrees to it. Three 6 has crazy "direct" influence, especially on the production side. I think that's what people are referring to when they say how influential they are.
Changing the game through influence is a bit amorphous compared to straight copying or spitting over beats/recreating tracks.
