Screwed and Chopped

[Lotus]

What the fuck is the big sensation over this shit?! Oooh, some DJ can slow down a song like 30-40 bpm and scratch so they can say "Sti-sti-still tri-tri-trippin' on 44's". Well good for him; I can do that on my $40-50 ACID program, it would take me like 20 minutes to screw and chop a whole song (at most), and I don't even know how to DJ.

The only thing screwed and chopped does to a song, in my opinion, is make it sound like shit.

Your thoughts?

I don't understand it either. Seems pretty pointless. I think it's officially called "Chopped and Screwed", though.

[Funky Fly]

When the hell did it come back? I remember it being big like 5 years ago, and now it's back.

[Danny Electric]

You know it's bigger than hip hop.

Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's "Chopped and Screwed". Good lookin'.

It came back with "Still Tippin'", I believe, and now they're doing it to every dirty south song.

Actual Screw shit was badass back in the day.. I still jam UGK Screwed by DJ Screw.. Now it's Swisha House guys getting paid off of a dead DJ's legacy..

:wavesad:

Ner..

Albums down here have been released in two versions for awhile.. Way before Paul Wall.. They remix (Screw) whole albums and release them after the original..

[Lotus]

Ah alright.

BTW Kris P, your avatar is badass. DANGER DOOM!

Whoever came up with this idea needs to be found and shot.

Wait, what the fuck is Chopped and Screwed? :$ I didn't even know it had happened a first time, let alone know it was undergoing a resurgence?

Is that all they do, slow the song down? :$

[samichna]

Is this the thing where people drink like cough syrup and it makes everything go slo-mo? DJ Screw was his name? I thought he had just died recently. Either him or one of the other "pioneers" of this so-called genre.

-edit-

Yeah, it was DJ Screw who died...ODed on the codeine in the cough syrup apparently.

Oh, the irony

Yeah, pretty much. Slow it down 30-40 bpms or so and then scratch over it.

[mitchables]

...What's the point? :$

[samichna]

ONLY BLACK PPL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT!!!!!

What's the point of any music?

[Lotus]

...What's the point? :$

Supposedly the shit's supposed to sound cool if you're drunk and shit. But since I don't get drunk, I couldn't tell you first hand.

Oh, and Anybody Thrilla, the reason I called it Screwed and Chopped was because I was thinking of that line in Sittin Sideways when Paul Wall says "screwed and chopped up"

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hey, it's cool, I wasn't trying to be like "OMFG, U R N IDIOT!!!!!1111". Just letting you know. Because I care. :y:

[Lotus]

Oh yeah, I know. It just shows how much your "What It Dew?" topic had an impact on me. ;)

[Kris P Lettus]

...What's the point? :$

Another way to remix music..

Screw is a legend..
