Chopped and screwed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is rumored that Swishahouse originally labelled their tapes Chopped and Screwed to differentiate their mixes from South-Side crews that operated out of DJ Screw's style or tutelage. Their mixes saw an expansion of the usual roster of artists that are screwed and chopped, as more major recording labels embraced the genre that often sold more units than the usual version of a rapper's albums. Mississippi rapper David Banner released a Screwed and Chopped Version of his "Mississippi: The Album" in 2003, which would mark one of the first successful efforts by a major recording label to exploit the success of the genre. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chopped_and_screwed   (850 words)

8 Ball and MJG: Living Legends (Chopped and Screwed) - PopMatters Music Review Screw was actually a regional style that originated in "Screwston" Texas, the brainchild of the eponymous DJ Screw. Unfortunately, Screw died in 2001 as a result of overdosing on a mixture of said codeine and the additional stimulus of cocaine. For whatever reason, Screw had the idea to slow down the records he was playing on his turntable platter, turning normal mid-and-high tempo hip-hop joints into slow and syrupy tracks that were almost the living definition of sick. popmatters.com /music/reviews/e/8ballandmjg-livinglegends.shtml   (934 words)

Crazy Talk!: Chopped and Screwed Chopped and screwed is a term that refers to a certain technique of remixing hip-hop music by slowing the tempo and applying various DJ techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and sending portions of the music through stand-alone effects to make a "chopped-up" version of the original song.

Music Chopped & screwed Screw’s special style of remixing (he’d slow a record to half-speed and then double up, or "chop," his favorite lines) is a direct homage to the effects of his favorite beverage, and his "chopped and screwed" mixtapes were the soundtrack to late-night, syrup-dazed excursions — especially those cruising well below the speed limit. One of the driving forces behind the Houston renaissance of the past year is Michael "5000" Watts, a Northside disciple of DJ Screw and one of today’s most respected chopped and screwed DJs. Once the show got under way, however, it became clear that much of the befuddled indie-ish crowd was unaccustomed to the rapid-fire workings of a late-night hip-hop show. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/music/other_stories/documents/04980500.asp   (980 words)

Chopped And Screwed 2003, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic Screw remixes don't always sound anything more than slooooooow, but occasional dub splices and echoes qualify as "chopped." Houston group 281 Boyz get a heavy dose of both effects here, on an album that sounds invariably woozy and weird. Certain tracks don't take to the screw style especially interestingly, but others turn into something altogether different: the languid bass line and heavily chopped vocals in "White Horse" are literally dizzying, while the atmospheric trills in "Make the Ladies Say" sound both haunted and high. DJ Screw himself ("seen me on the scene, drinkin' codeine") shows up in "So Real," a glitzy ballad that sounds smushed and smeared by slow-motion windshield wipers. www.emusic.com /album/10838/10838915.html   (320 words)
