Screwed and chopped music is the antithesis of the relentless, ballistic bounce of Houston, TX: Hip-hop records are literally slowed down to a molasses-like pace, and beats and lyrics ooze lazily out of the speakers. The result is a heavy, drowsy groove that, over the last 14 years, has exerted a major influence on Southern hip-hop culture.DJ CJ
The style was developed in Houston, Texas, which remains the location most associated with the style. The late DJ Screw, a South Houston DJ, is credited with the creation of and early experimentation with the genre. DJ Screw began making mixtapes of the slowed-down music in the early 1990's. Originally, this process involved mixing two copies of the same record, slowed down either on the turntables using pitch shift or later through use of an after-mixer device. Phasing, Flanging and Echo effects were originally the result of the two records being played at millisecond intervals.DJ CJ
I'm a DJ comin' straight out of Naptown. I've been DJing for a few years just fuckin around on the turntables, but ever since this C&S movement I've been layin' down some nice mixes. I'm really just tryin' to get my name out there in these streets. So please comment on mixes and tell me what you think.
