For those who don't know...DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis Jr (RIP,1971–2000), was a central figure in the Houston hip hop scene. His innovation included the trademark technique of slowing down the basic tracks of a cut when he remixed it(screwed and chopped). Slowing down the song was supposed to recreate the effect of using Promethazine with Codeine also known as "lean" or "purple drank" in Houston slang. He was the main mixtape/street album mixer for the huge Houston hip hop South Park Coalition. During the early '90s, he invited some of Houston's most renowned rappers from the south side of the city to flow on his Screw tapes. This eventually led to the formation of the Screwed Up Click.

ReplyDeleteyou should shut the fuck up man, he was probably just pointing out that it wasn't the recs cover.
ReplyDeleteDJ Screw is amazing because he knows how to encourage us with his music and rhythms, in my opinion he's one of the best DJs in the world.
