Hypnotize Minds, known by the stage name Hypnotize Camp Posse or HCP,[1] was an American record label created by DJ Paul and Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia in 1997, in Memphis, Tennessee. The label served as the successor to Three 6 Mafia's previous label, Prophet Entertainment, which was co-founded by DJ Paul and Juicy J along with Nicholas ‘Nick Scarfo’ Jackson in 1994. Hypnotize Minds was created after DJ Paul and Juicy J had a disagreement with Jackson, which led to Three 6 Mafia and several other artists previously on the Prophet label to move to the new Hypnotize Minds imprint.

As Hypnotize Camp Posse, the collective released one self-titled group album, Hypnotize Camp Posse, in 2000. The album follows the other Three 6 Mafia-sponsored posse album, 1998's Body Parts by Prophet Posse, which features many of the same artists. Apart from the album, the group, like its predecessor, Prophet Posse, is known for their posse songs, which are featured on nearly every album release by Hypnotize Minds up until 2006, including all Three 6 Mafia albums.[2] The posse songs feature verses from all or most members of the posse and label at the times of recording.

Hypnotize Minds has been assumed defunct since 2012 in conjuncture with Three 6 Mafia's hiatus, with the Lil Wyte album Still Doubted? (released on June 19, 2012) being the label's most recent release.
