From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1 is the fourth studio album by American hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia. The album was released on June 13, 2000, by RED Distribution, SRC Records, Loud Records, and DJ Paul and Juicy J's Hypnotize Minds. The album bolstered the group's popularity immensely, and contains some of Three 6 Mafia's most well known tracks, such as "Sippin' on Some Syrup", "Who Run It", and "I'm So Hi".[1] The album was one of the last projects featuring all of the original group's members, as Gangsta Boo left after the Choices: The Album soundtrack, and Koopsta Knicca left after the album's release.[2] The album title is a reference to the year 1999 being 6661 (Sixty 6, Sixty 1) inverted.

Critical reception
AllMusic emphasizes the more polished production compared to the band's previous albums, but feels that the length of the opus results in the presence of a few filler tracks, making the whole uneven. Despite these imperfections, AllMusic considers When the Smoke Clears to be "a noteworthy addition to Three 6 Mafia's deep canon".[3]
