<p>Gangsta Boo worked with other rappers like Paul, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black, and Koopsta Knicca — and was featured on the rap group&#8217;s first 5 studio albums, including Three 6 Mafia&#8217;s debut record. She went on to leave the group in the early 200&#8217;s and make a name for herself with solo projects as well.</p>
<p>Shortly after the news broke, tributes to the groundbreaking artist began to pour in via Twitter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rest In Peace Gangsta Boo The first lady of Three 6 Mafia,&#8221; Andrew Barber <a href="https://twitter.com/fakeshoredrive/status/1609685212073541632" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. &#8220;An incredible artist who could ride a beat like no other &amp; transcended generations in a fickle business. Her solo debut &#8216;Enquiring Minds&#8217; remains one of the best of the Hypnotize Minds canon. Peace &amp; love to her family.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Gangsta Boo wasn’t just this pioneer for women in rap. She was a foundational figure in music. you’d never know just by talking to her, because she was such a sweet, self-effacing person who’d never tout her many accomplishments unbidden. This is just f***ing awful,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/ByYourLogic/status/1609683108449914881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another said</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Gangsta Boo was such a unique artist &#8230; style wise, voice wise &#8230; energy. She was not the token woman of the crew &#8230; she really brought her own style to 3-6/Hypnotized Minds and made them a better more complete click/label &#8230;&#8221; RosenbergRadio <a href="https://twitter.com/Rosenbergradio/status/1609686315586535426" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>.</p>
