	Memphis rap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Memphis rap is a specific type of Southern hip hop music that originated in Memphis, Tennessee.
		Memphis was "choppin' and screwin'" music back in the early 1980s when DJs would mix together and slow down vinyl albums and blend in their own basslines over a popular song or phrase such as the famous words "Say hello to my little friend" off the movie Scarface.
		This concept and Memphis rap were pioneered by early Memphis DJs such as Ray the Jay, Spanish Fly, DJ BK, DJ Paul, and many others.
