Screw Music

Ya'll boys ever heard Screw Music. It's when you take a rap song, and you slow down the pitch, it sounds tight. It was pioneered by a famous houston dj name DJ Screw. RIP

http://www.screweduprecords.com/store2.asp

you can get his underground mixtapes at his website his family put up for him. You can buy his above ground releases but be careful, most of them are fake, they just tryin to cash in his name.

let me give you an example of what screw music is, I'll take a mainstream rap song that i think everybody heard before, 2pac - Keep Ya Head Up. And all slow it down for ya, tell me what ya'll think

I mainly listen to 60's Motown, 70 funk/disco, 80's to mid 90's rap, (both of them being where the true SOUL of black artistry is) early Punk Rock, Techno / Electronica and Jazz. Thus while I find that interesting it does nothing for me. Good links though.

Idiotic.

it's not half speed, it's 22.5% of the pitch. so, it's roughly 1/4 of the speed. Anyways, yeah, i dont like anything else besides rap being slowed down. I heard a few folks screw non-rap music and it sucks and i just ain't feelin it.

How's it retarded? It's got a nice errie, sluggish sound to it. Back in the days it used to be cool, like i used to go on Cullen and pick me up some dj screw mixtapes back in his shop but now, everybody in texas is on the screw tip. And now you got assholes who are taking it mainstream. Now everybody gonna say they invented Screw. it's all fucked up, holla

It recreates the way you feel when you are gone off some purple. Or so I have heard. I like it somewhat, but I don't like all my music screwed up.

music for the ol' "in out in out"?

60's Motown, 70 funk/disco, 80's to mid 90's rap

say, go to thescrewshop.com forum and sign up, they got most of DJ Screw's Tracklistings from his mixtapes, even the rare ass ones which were personals or ones that are lost.

DJ Screw was a tight ass dj, he would mix, blend, chop, scratch his ass off. What set him different was that he slowed down his dj mixes. He's tracklistings were suberb and most of his mixtapes were from 94-00 so ya gonna hear some good 90's rap music and he put allot of motown music like Marvin Gaye and some 70's 80's music. He even put a few Phil Collins songs on em.

I suggest you checkin out On A Pint, u might like that one:

I LOVE chopped and screw music. Please pay no attention to Punagebee, he blasts on every rap thread and has no idea what he's talking about.

For recent screw check out Michael Watts mix of Mike Jones - Who is Mike Jones. This cd is 500x better than the actual album.

I'd really like to get ahold of some real DJ Screw mixes, but the offical tapes/cds are expensive, plus there's like 5000 of them...

Fuck Mike "5000" Watts, 5000 what? Of trash that is. And imo, Mike Jones is wack saying his name 5000 times and giving out his #, that shit is wack but kids in houston love it. SMH, ah well, fuck it, most rap nowadays sucks too but anyways, nah, there not expensive.

If ya lived in houston, go to the shop, tapes cost 10 and cd's are 15. Go on the site and it's only 3 bucks more for shipping.

dont call it "chopped and screw", just call it screw. SCREW DID THAT.

Dude just check the tape out. It came with the original cd for free at first.

I like what they call chopped and screwed. Screw is dead that's why they call it chopped and screwed, in respect for Screw.

Merc I can't belive you don't like dj screw, he's from your neck of the woods.

The tape are kinda expensive when he's not even the one getting the money for them.

Mike calls it "chopped and screw" to insult DJ Screw and The Screwed Up Click. I remember when Mike Watts used to be called DJ TroubleMaker and he used to sell his mixtapes at the King's Flea called his shop Back Door Entertainment.

And his family runs the site and the shop he used to own on cullen. His mother just passed away but his father is alive and his cousins run the shop.

Are you sure? On the tracks he does he gives credit to DJ Screw.

I'm been meaning to get Sony's Vegas program to tryout some screwed stuff I've been thinking of. Do you know where I could get a instrumental of Ying Yang Twins - Wait? That beat redone would make the perfect screw track.

nah, the technique was made by dj screw, he would mix, blend, mash, chop, scratch and all that good dj shit. Only thing that seperated him from other dj's was that he slowed down his mixes.

I'll try to get a mixtape for ya'll to listen.

so this is different than trick mixing 2 of the same record to slow down the beat?

That would be awesome!

I've found an mp3 of the instrumental of Wait, now just to get Vegas :smirk:

After my mix is done I'll make sure to upload it, but it will probably be a week or so...

SUC - Screw Did That

SUC is Screwed Up Click, that's DJ Screw's rap group, they appear on all his mixtapes freestyling and playing their songs and shit. Anyways, they made this song to diss M Watts and other dj's trying to make a name off of Screw and his legacy.

Lyrics:

Screw Did That Lyrics

f/ Al-D

(*talking*)
This for all the DJ A, B, C, D's, wanna be motherfuckers
Whoever you is, my nigga DJ Screw created this style
It's here to stay, you with the ?
You gon respect my nigga Screw

[Chorus]
What the fuck y'all niggas talking bout
Screw did that
You can chop it but respect the fact
Screw did that
Who put this game or flag on the map
Screw did that
What, Screw did that, man Screw did that
Who slowed you records down, and made the style
Screw did that
Longest rappers up bout freestyle
Screw did that
Now they sipping syrup worldwide
Screw did that
Tip your motherfucking hats nigga
Screw did that

[Al-D]
What the fuck y'all niggas talking bout, time for me to break it down
At home sucking your mama titty, when I was running the underground
I been here, done this, now you hoes got me pissed
Fucking over my homie name, over one funky ass minute of fame
If you true to the game act like it then, show some respect
Y'all niggas bore me, show some kind of motherfucking loyalty
DJ Screw the king of the chop, yeah king of the chop
He the reason now, a lot of these motherfuckers hot
But they ain't hollin' at mama and papa Screw, like they supposed to
Don't forget, don't nobody own shit but those two
That go for friends and foes too, bitches and hoes too
Don't stand there with your mouth wide open nigga, do what you do
Sentimental value, the only authentic original Screw
We keeping the dream alive, and paying the family too
Mama Screw told me, you got my permission to spill the gases
And when you scream, scream loud, to set fire under they asses

[Chorus]

[Z-Ro]
Who went from Jimmy Jam to worldwide, Screw did that
Took me from nothing and made me something, you did that
I owe it all to you my nigga, for helping me rise
I thought you would get old with me, why the fuck you have to die
Everybody S.U.C. now, Screw done chopped by who
Probably never met the man, deserve the ghetto are you rich
Bitch nigga you get, out of dodge fast
5,000 watts of skills, 5,000 pounds of trans
Watch what you say in the magazines, ole fat ass nigga
Steady nibbling off my niggas cheese, ole rat ass nigga
I call it like I see it, and I can't be nothing but real
I guess they can't originate, so they do nothing but steal
I'm sick and I'm tired, I'm not gon let it ride no mo'
Better skip town, cause in Houston you hoes can't hide no mo'
My partna Robert Earl Davis, was a man out of music
But the world kicking so much they bitch made, bold niggas be trying to do it

[Chorus]

[Al-D]
He slowed the records down and made the style, now everybody on dick
Michael "5000" Watts in Murda Dog talkin bout, he elevated this shit
Screw's number one, always will be
You got the game from him, the style was named after him
One thing he promised, is that the world was gon be all screwed up
I was on a first Screw tape to hit the market, all screwed up
Yeah its hard to think, when yo mind go blank
Don't believe it, run yo ass in the paint
See when that Keke pimping pens, we all was making paper
Drank up and dripped out, while they got high with the Blanksta
All I wanna do is remember the good times
Botany Boyz, and still, the block that stayed crunk at all times
Al-D and Z-Ro, and the S.U.C. is still in effect
Screw you rest in peace, and they still on yo motherfucking dick

[Z-Ro]
Candy, Juve and all of matter of fact, Screw blew it
Touching nothing but real tracks, cause no jamming no doo-doo
But fuck the milli, that was my man
When I was slipping, he would reach out, to take my hand
Cause it was nothing but love for my nigga, nigga had love for me
So disrespect him, and its gonna be some slugs to see
Cause we the Screwed Up Click, down South we the shit
Body rocking like this, with Mama Screw up in the mix

(*talking*)
S.U.C., let's keep the dream alive man
Original members, extended members
Everybody stand taller

[Chorus]

i'll try to get a mixtape uploaded, holla

I stand corrected, thanks for the track. Isn't DJ Screw where the T.I. lil flip feud started?

Well, didn't dj screw give lil flip an award that claimed him as the freestyle king or something along those lines?

Lil' Flip is the Freestyle King and T.I.P. is the self-proclaimed King of the South. So from what I understand the beef arose from that. And T.I.'s only problem was always with Lil' Flip. They are supposedly cool now after they had that fight in Clover G a coulple of months back.

If any of you guys could create a torrent with some screw songs I'll seed.

that's not the reason. The whole "King" shit is a gimmick. Houston rapper E.S.G. came out with the "Freestyle King" gimmick. Ti and Flip were beefin cuz Flip took ti's place on an album when TI was in jail or something to that ploy. holla

LOL, that's all a lie. It's called hype. Paul Wall, a wack rapper and dj, calls himself the king of "chopped and screw"...nuff said. Rappers use the houston chronicle to hype up shit. That doesn't prove shit. Trust me when i say this, Flip tricked everybody, DJ Screw only presented the plaque.

No, just no. I hate this "music" with everything inside of me and I immediately think, nay, detect instant stupidity whenever I hear someone "trying to jam" to this horseshit that's damn near as bad as Go-Go. When I want to listen to Aaliyah, I want to listen to Aaliyah, not what sounds like some Turkish weightlifter with laryngitis. To make it even worse, it can be "chopped" to the point where John the Stutterer from Howard Stern would have a hard time deciphering just what the hell are they talking about. This is one style from the South that I wished was never discovered.

this is retarded

This thread is a short bus headed straight for hell.

I Invented Scew at the age of 3 on my Fisher Price REcord Player by playing 78's at 33 speed.

It's a form of southern drink. I don't know if we can post it here though. It involves cough syrup, hard liquor, a jolly rancher(to make it tasty) and put it in a styrofoam cup. Some people use sprite as well.

What about the Game Over Remix stuff? Flip said T.I. wanted to be on it and when he said no, T.I. got mad or something...

Leave it to the hilljacks in alabama to combine something like that.

The jolly rancher doesnt do anyhthing. It still tastes like burning and cough medicine going down.

Lol this ain't from Alabama. That's all Houston, Texas there. But since so many people drink it now I don't know how it is specifically made. Since people do it different ways in different regions.

I met Mike Dean back in Feb of Last Year. I didn't know he was white. Not only white but he looks like a damn hippie. LOL, shit was hilarious. I couldn't believe that one of the greatest hiphop houston producers was a guy that look like he belonged to one of those Rock Bands.

and all these "purple" syrup questions.

We call it "lean" down here. No, Screw music wasn't attended to mimic what you are when ya leaned up and hulled out. Yes, Ti was pissed that he got kicked off a track and Flip wouldn't let him be on the Game Remix. If you ask me, both of them are Shirely azz rappers cryin over spilled milk.

And hidden_chracter, I'm sorry you feel that way, it's just a style, dont feel bad about it.

Oh, and you forgot about "CODIENE" in ya recipe of how to make "purple".

i think your trying to bold the word "intended" you fucking bitch. fuck you , you ain't got shit to say in this thread, get tha fuck on, bitch.

I now have the program Reason, Do any of you guys know where to get soundclips of typical dj sounds? You know like scratches, squeeks, and rewinds. I haven't had time to play around with Reason but it's supposed to be the best pc music making program, it may already have these sounds or maybe I could find them in what they call refill packs...

I'm seeding DJ Screw - All Screwed Up if you'd like to download it.
