Kanye's "Through the Wire" screwed and chopped and ironically Chaka's sample is turned back to its original sound.

its still bullshit. I guess because i make music...its hard 2 c whats so fuckin special..it aint even remixed

paisleypark4 said:

well actually the "chopped" part is where u repeat certaincertain within lyricslyrics

paisleypark4 said:

I make music also, I guess since I'm from Houston and grew up with it.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I know what andy said about it being slow but if you hate modern hip-hop, screwed & chopped is the best way to actually enjoy it IMO. I always laugh @ Kanye's vocals when it's screwed and chopped. He sounds like Slim Thug.

Cinnie said:

Basically...

Timmy84 said:

and Slim Thug had some of the best chopped/screwed versions too

Cinnie said:

Yeah, he and Three Six Mafia/Project Pat.

Speaking of screw, anyone one have some original Screw Tapes?

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Well Im a 1/2 New Yorker and it just sounds.....like a slowed down track...people just think its special because they dont know how to do that. Its so simple and basic anyone can do. Even slowing down the tempo on a lp is equivilant of the same exact thing. Like playing 331/2 on a 45

I actully enjoy Hip hop from only East Coast...the others I dont really feel at all.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

The misconception about screwed and chopped music is that people only from Houston can dig it but I think it's basically a Dirty South thing. I'm from NC so I dig it. I guess it's an acquired taste for some.

I love it because it makes crappy hip-hop records (and some good hip-hop records) better IMHO.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

you're the one from H-Town! better come with it now

Screwed is a slowed down track, that's why it sounds slowed down. Rappers in Houston started the Screwed and Chopped movement. When the rappers were sippin' syrup or on that stuff, they would slow the beat down, because that's how it made them feel when syrup sippin' and what not.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

That's why I dig the screwed and chopped version of "Sippin' on Some Syrup".

paisleypark4 said:

I understand how you feel. People from your way and everywhere else probably won't dig it. But the Dirty South always crank that shit up.

Timmy84 said:

oh yeah those would be from the actual era (about 10 years ago).. I meant recently

Cinnie said:

Oh ok... speaking of I love Mike Jones screwed & chopped. That's the only way I can tolerate that fool, lol.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I guess. Well I dont live South and I just don't feel it. Just like people dont dig East Coast that much no more. Shit just sound dumb 2 me...I'd rather hear a Camille track done from "Future Baby Mama" or something.

Whatever float peoples boat....but Through The Wire was not to be fucked with.

My favorites Screw track, although I couldn't find it screwed on youtube...ha.

Here is the Houston class, June 27 (it's actually a 27 minute freestyle, but they didn't put the whole thing up)

I know this isn't really on topic but I wanted to add I have been listening to the first two UGK albums alot.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

When you just have it screwed, it's a banger but it also cracks me up. Good finds!
