I told her it was nice meeting her and walked out away from that. So I was like, “What?! What are you talking about? I don’t have no brothers and sisters in Africa!” And like that, Salma Hayek killed my hard-on. Salma Hayek walked up to me - who I was super in love with because of From Dusk Till Dawn with George Clooney - and said the craziest shit: “You know your brothers and sisters are dying over in Africa because of all this jewelry you’re wearing.” Because I guess we had those big ole watches they gave us on, and these platinum necklaces. Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons are there. We’re drinking and eating hot dogs at the Governors Ball, and someone says, “Let’s go to a party!” So we get in a limo with John Singleton, and we head to the Vanity Fair party. Even after we won, Dolly Parton, who we were up against, sent us a letter: “We’re proud of you guys, and I’m just glad that the Oscar came back to Tennessee one way or another.” She’s real cool - from Tennessee, too, you know. Because everyone listens to rap music, you know? I’m sure they was happy to see that a rap song was getting nominated versus some big orchestra thing. While I’m talking to him, I’m looking across the room over at Charlize Theron, thinking, “I wish they’d put me at the table with that chick.”Įveryone was nice to us at the luncheon. I got all these tattoos because of him in From Dusk Till Dawn. They split us all up, and I ended up sitting with Clooney. Why Clooney? Because when you go to the Oscar luncheon, you can’t sit with the people you come with. I even sent a shout-out to George Clooney. I named everybody in my speech except the people that had anything to do with the movie. Henson might have run up onstage, and Queen Latifah got the awards, and she handed them to us.

We turned around and started running and jumping. Just in case you win.” I said, “Dude, we are not going to win.” But just as we turned to walk off, that’s when Queen Latifah said our name. And a stage director was like, “No, stand here to the side. So we’re done performing and start walking back to the dressing room to drink the rest of the vodka. My other concerts just be a blur I would have never remembered Jamie Foxx giving me a thumbs-up at one of my regular concerts. And I’m sober, so I’m taking everything in. But this crowd was out there in gowns and tuxes and all kind of shit. I’m used to looking in the crowd and seeing drug dealers and gangbangers.

That’s when I started feeling better because this was the most different concert I’d ever done. Kamau Bell on the 2002 Denzel Washington, Halle Berry Wins That Changed … Maybe Nothing? (Guest Column) Henson performed the original song nominee “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp,” from Hustle & Flow. I looked in the crowd and remember seeing Charlize Theron. Then we walked out onstage, and it was crazy. Right before it was time for us to go onstage, though, we was like, “F- this shit,” and we took a shot of vodka each.

There was some liquor in our dressing room, but we weren’t going to drink or get high or nothing because we didn’t want to mess up. We were like, “Man, we don’t need this paper. My lawyer wrote out a piece of paper with the names of all the people we were supposed to thank if we won: Craig Brewer, the director. So make sure you're there when they perform classics like "Stay Fly," "Poppin' My Collar," and the Academy Award-winning "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" live at a venue near you.So it’s finally Oscar night, and the four of us - Jordan “Juicy J” Houston, Darnell “Crunchy Black” Carlton, Cedric “ Frayser Boy” Coleman and myself - are walking down the red carpet in $6,000 Armani suits and $55,000 watches we got for free. "We want everyone to come and be a part of history," he told Billboard when the tour was announced, and because tickets for every show are on sale now, you can take him up on that invitation, without breaking the bank! Juicy J and DJ Paul are launching a new reunion tour in 2021, and with a half dozen dates on their current schedule, you've got a few different chances to catch Three 6 Mafia live and in person, performing their groundbreaking Southern hip hop live on tour for the first time in years! The duo had so much fun with last year's handful of reunion shows that they're keeping things going into the new year - and DJ Paul called it "a must see" for all you fans out there.
