Three 6 Mafia

Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia shares his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Sade, Willie Hutch, Linkin Park

Three 6 Mafia are always ready to attack.

However, lately they’ve been gearing up for the latest assault on hip hop—Laws of Power, set to hit stores this March. In the midst of that though, they cranked out a sick guest appearance on “Demons” with Tech N9ne that’s definitely some of the darkest fire they’ve dropped. Three 6 Mafia’s forthcoming album promises to be just as fiery as Last 2 Walk but with even more genre-mashing—stirring in a little more rock n’ roll and electro this time around. It’s no surprise that Juicy J’s musical taste runs a wide gamut.

His iPod is all over the map, and he sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino to discuss what’s rockin’ his world right now in this exclusive feature.

Check out Juicy J’s playlist below and be on the look out for Three 6 Mafia’s next rap epic….

Juicy J’s Playlist:

1. Sade

I’m listening to Sade. She’s hot. I saw her perform live and she ripped the show up. She did a great performance. She’s been around for years, and she still gigs! I actually grew up on her music.

2. Willie Hutch

I listen to all kinds of music. I dig Willie Hutch!

3. Linkin Park

I’m into rock n’ roll too. I listen to Linkin Park.

Channing Tatum of “G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra”

The G.I. JOE star shares his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Black Eyed Peas, Linkin Park, Adele

In order to tackle Cobra in G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra, Channing Tatum had to find the right tunes.

Music can be crucial on set, so Channing cranked DMX and Kanye West to get primed for his big action sequences. Watching the pulse-pounding final product, he definitely made the right choice. His Duke is always ready to kick some serious ass, and the music certainly helped.

Channing shared his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com in this exclusive feature. Check it out below and catch G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra in theaters Friday!

Channing Tatum’s Playlist:

1. Black Eyed Peas — “I Gotta Feeling”

I’ve been listening to a lot of Black Eyed Peas lately. For some reason, I can’t stop playing the song “I Gotta Feeling” [Laughs]. Every time I hear it, I just feel good immediately. I think Black Eyed Peas are doing it really, really well.

Linkin Park

Mike Shinoda turns his iPod on “Random” and gives ARTISTdirect.com an exclusive look at what he’s spinning…

A Taste: 

Metric, The Prodigy, Pete Rock & CL Smooth

Working on the score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Mike Shinoda and the boys of Linkin Park have crossed another “New Divide.” The hard rock juggernaut remains are more indestructible than Optimus Prime, and their brand new single and epic film orchestration prove that.

However, vocalist Mike Shinoda’s personal musical palette runs the gamut. He decided to share his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com for this exclusive feature. Check it out below and don’t miss Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen this Wednesday.

Mike Shinoda’s Playlist:

Mike: Here were the first seven things that came up on my “current playlist” in iTunes, on random!

2. Fugazi — “Margin Walker”

Dommin

Kris Dommin offers up his playlist to us in this feature…

A Taste:

Paramore, Linkin Park, The Faint

Dommin could be the swooning soundtrack to the apocalypse. Frontman Kris Dommin dives into heartbreak head first with a knack for putting pain on the page that’d make Trent Reznor and Peter Steele proud. However, Dommin took some time to open up his iTunes playlist for us in this exclusive feature. Some of what he’s listening to is a bit surprising for such a purveyor of darkness…

Check out Dommin’s forthcoming debut on Roadrunner Records, and see what the singer is spinning below.

For a taste of Dommin, also be sure to listen to our stream of “My Heart, Your Hands.”
