Comprised primarily of Three 6 Mafia members Lord Infamous, Juicy J, and DJ Paul, Tear da Club Up Thugs debuted with Crazyndalazdayz in the late '98, just as Three 6 Mafia and the other Southern rappers appearing here began their rise to commercial success. The collective's name refers to Three 6 Mafia's 1997 anthem, Tear da Club Up. The group's material tends to feature gangsta-themed lyrics. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
