Dj Screw Era Was Crazy

[shopthatwrecks]

And not only was he cold with his hands he put on his whole hood damn near. He put a lot of talent in the door

You won't hear a single person say one bad word about Screw

screw was tryin get a slot on 97.9 soon as screw unplugged the equipment hatta was pissed off and already had it in his head screw wasnt gettin play...even told him ppl wont listen to that shyt

screw got the streets on fire a yr later...instead of bringin screw back ... watts got the position n a slot ..he been shootin slugs at the click for years...



with this nikka

heard it in person

saw it in interviews...i wish al-d was at that donnie houston intview vs will-lean

he is the only swishahouse artist who talked shyt

I wonder what an original Screw tape could pull on the market?

edit: Grey tapes go for about 500.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Chopped and Screwed series was my shyt in the early 00s

I used to bump that shyt and people hated it!!! Lol

not much really... take it to the shop let em dub it n clean it up... n release it ...

lil randy has the most tapes than anybody....because he was with screw damn near everyday except around when he died because he was locked up


this is deep in grays ...not clears

them boys stayed at circuit city

 

[shopthatwrecks]

they said he made a million cash selling those tapes. i can't say whether that's true or not, but it's been said by more than one person that knew him and was around him. however much he made it was a whole helluva lot.

[AlbertPullhoez]

He had a tape called Million Dollar Hands for a reason

 

[Numpsay]

I don't think people realize the impact he had on hip-hop to this day. Definitely deserved some posthumous life time achievement awards.

We used to stay by Hobby airport when I was born back in 1980. Moved to Baytown in 82’ and then east side h-town in 86’…Fast fwd to late 92’, 7th grade my cousin from the south side called and I could hear some slow music in the background. We had a family reunion that weekend and he came through with the tape. I made a dub and was hooked. That boy made a lane and created his own genre. And I see $hit called “slowed and throwed” or some other dumb ass names on YouTube. Get that bullshyt outta here. Anythang slowed down is “Screwed”. No other name for it. I still got 5 grey tapes in my collection but I went back to vinyl.

I said it too many times. To be in Houston from 91-98 was special especially on the South Side of town @shopthatwrecks knows what I'm talking about. The man had the entire city in a chokehold. Music simply wasn't listened to unless it was Screw.
If you was waiting in line outside of Park Place and Telephone Rd at 7pm on Friday nights reading the handwritten list of new tapes then you know what I'm talking about.
I was in high school (Sterling) at the time and before Screw really blew up it was no problem going to his house after school giving him a tracklist of what you wanted and he would make your own personal tape. shyt was like $20 for a personal but the way the man blew up from really just being some shyt we did after school with a hood DJ, to taking over the sound of music was crazy to witness. Even after he blew up the man always spoke (most people had no idea what he looked like for years) when he was out and about. Truly a humble person and never let fame get to his head.

This is a tricky one b/c when it came to raw dj'in skills Hurricane Duck is up there and my be my top 3 along with Blowin Big Behind Tint, Wineberry Over Gold but when it comes to flat out subtle battling with back and forth freestyles...man Final Chapter and Plots and Schemes. I really gotta sit with this one.

I like the regular tapes over the freestyles
