After winning an Oscar for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” from “Hustle & Flow,” Three 6 Mafia — core members Juicy J and DJ Paul — rode a wave of unlikely fame. But mostly the group seems to have forgotten its brush with the limelight. “Last 2 Walk” sounds like vintage Three 6 Mafia: bruising production, gloriously foul-natured lyrics, single-minded focus on life’s pleasures — the humorously lewd “I’d Rather” and “Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)” — all under a cloud of paranoia. Given the choices Juicy J and DJ Paul could have made — and for a time, did make — “Last 2 Walk” feels almost willfully obscure: in other words, right back where they belong.
