032c Issue #49

“YOU HAVE TO EMBRACE THE TRUTH, DIFFICULT AS IT MAY BE, THAT THE ART THAT RESULTED FROM THAT FRICTION IS POSITIVE.”
- Robert Gordon, author of It Came From Memphis

The 032c Issue #49 dossier is dedicated to the influence of Memphis, Tennessee, on rap as we know it. PHILLIP PYLE speaks to DJ PAUL of THREE 6 MAFIA, DJ SPANISH FLY, LA CHAT, SHAWTY PIMP, and TOMMY WRIGHT III at the northern point of the Mississippi Delta, where photographer NEVA WIREKO captures the city beyond Elvis’ Graceland and shopping at Bass Pro in a pyramidal mall. (Though we have those things too.)
