Hailing from Memphis, Three 6 Mafia came up in the southern underground scene, garnering a rabid following as their renown approached nationwide status. CHAPTER 2: WORLD DOMINATION is a bold, ambitious declaration; the title speaks for itself and goes a long way towards explaining what the Three 6 has in store for the unsuspecting public.

Though the emphasis is obviously on the group's mesmerizing vocal acrobatics, this is nonetheless a very musical album, filled with rich, snaky bass lines, synth pads, and creative vocal arrangements galore. Comparisons to the tongue-twisting styles of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are inevitable (though Three 6 Mafia claims to be the originator), particularly in the rapid-fire staccato phrasings of "Prophet Posse" as the Mafia trades off lines, giving each a different rhythmic feel. "I Ain't Cha Friend" opens with slowed down, ominous-sounding bible quotations and becomes pure horrorcore, with eerie keyboards and vocals. The battle of the sexes heats up on "Watcha Do," which counters the standard misogyny of rap in a hard-fought war of words featuring Gangsta Boo, Three 6 Mafia's voice of womanhood. As her venomous rap asserts, it's a struggle like any other, and Three 6 Mafia is ready for war.
