Well, Im from Memphis as well... and yes, that is a widely popular acronym used by 'some' Memphians.

Regardless, I was proud of those guys. I remember how they first started... as high school kids selling tapes out of their trunk and to local record stores and car accessory shops (Mr. Z's and Car Toyz). Yes, they were originally called Triple Six Mafia and changed their name once they became more National. Not once in their music have they said they worship the Devil. In fact, I think they were the only one's who went on stage and said "I'd like the thank Jesus". Again, Im proud of them even though some may think the win and/or the group is controversial. How many rap artists can say that they have won an Oscar for their music?

Did anyone happen to catch when Jamie Foxx did his presentation speech and paused when he had to read "South African American" ... and then he said "strange"? I hear ya Jamie... I hear ya.

Also, I'll like to say congratulations to Reese Witherspoon, another Tennesseean who won an Oscar tonight.
