if you can get yourself the second album of paul wall or mike jones. i think a couple other artist froum houston have chopped and screwed there albums, but not really sure. i would say look under swisher house, you may find a buncha shit. or if you have access to dwnldn, look for paul wall, mike jones, maybe slim thug's part's 2. that should give you an idea, or if you have mtv2, i think they said something about having all those fools on their so they should talk about the chop/screw

It all started with DJ Screw. Sippin Syrup (lean) became popular in Houston and effected those people and contributed to their current laid-back lifestyle. The style of Chopped and Screwed related to a person under the effects of DXM, because their motor skills were slowed and chopped and screwed music is slowed down. Try downloading some Paul Wall or Mike Jones chopped and screwed. Some of the songs I realkly dig, but as a whole chopped and screwed music just ain't for me.

from what i understand they made it slower so that when they are all fucked up you can understand what the songs saying easier as apposed to the faster raps which are harder to grasp b.c theyh say a lot more in a short amount of time

Herbsman got it down. I'm all about Chopped and Screwed myself, but it's got to be done right. Anyone can get some computer software and screw their own mix up, hell I do it myself, but I've heard really terrible mixes. Look up DJ Screw in your everyday friendly P2P and see what you think.

Down here, everyone knows about chopped and screwed. You get some bad in there with the good, but when you get the good you know it.

whats up
you guys talkin bout stuff you dont much bout so i gotta fill you in
down here in texas, if you listen to rap, you listen to screw
dj screw started it way back god knows when (late 80's)
and at first everybody hated it. nobody could understand how he could call himself a dj
by the style he had created. but as time went by his friends who were all aspiring rappers
grew to listen to it like it was normal. now theres always people sayin that screw made it becuase when he leaned it made it sound better, but you dont have to be high or leanin to feel it. its just down here were real laid back and relaxed so thats how we like our music to be
even before screw, our music was more laid back than other regions. but anyways so screw kept doin his thing and his name started to grow. more and more people were gettin down with screw music. so much that it had expanded all over houston. now screw and the S.U.C
(screwed up click) were from the southside and back then it was always north and south buttin heads. a dj named 5000 watts from the northside heard screws style and loved it like the rest of the city, so he started screwin his shit. this just added to the fire between northside and southside. but screw kept growin and now its everywhere at least in the south, but itll always have its roots down in houston. anyways screw kept doing his thing untill late 2000 when he died from a heart attack----possibly from codiene. so now when you see theese dudes with they albums sayin screwed and chopped, it aint screwed, becuase screw didnt do it. but thats whole different story. if you guys really wanna experiance some screw dont listen to any paul wall or mike jones or slim thugg, becuase thats all watts. if you wanna hear some screw check out lil keke, fat pat, esg, big moe, big pokey, hawk, older z-ro, yungstar etc etc etc
damn i kinda went off but it annoys me when people dont know what theyre talkin about
and im not knockin you guys, i just want you to know how it really is.
and as far as programs go the best would be to go with ots becuase thats as close as turntables as you can get virtually. im a dj myself and if anybody would like to hear something let me know, ill be more than happy to do it for you. and if anybody wants any more info on screw music hit me up on it.
~AND NOW YOU KNOW, BECUASE OF DJ THROE~
peace people
