The Sunday Times Style Issue with Salma Hayek
Despite his less than warm welcome from the Hollywood elite, DJ Paul still looks back on that night fondly, recognizing the significance of Three 6 Mafia's triumph in the context of the award show's history.
"Look, man: I don't think the Oscars is racist or whatever the hell they're saying," he remarked. "Because if the Oscars were racist, they wouldn't have given this to three black gangsta rappers -- for a song about pimping. There's no getting blacker than that."
Apparently it's also pretty hard for Three 6 Mafia to get through an Oscar's after-party without avoiding Hollywood bullshit.
When the rappers took home the award for Best Original Song at the 2006 Academy Awards for "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp" from the film "Hustle and Flow," they became the first hip-hop group to do so in Oscar history.
