Damn this man had fuckin skills. I listen back at his music and am just amazed. Fuckin amazing chops then flows then onto the flanger then before you know it hes loopin it and scratching and once jus fuckin blowin me away. I chop n screw songs then go back and mix them together afterwards mainley because i dont got a great setup. I want two technic 1200's with a good mixer. But im listenin to his screw tape Still Hoopin. His shit blows me away. Dudes amazing. Didnt post this in music section because im more talking about him then his music. R.I.P. Robert Earl Davis JR.

In dedcication of DJ Screw. I gotta say, This man has influenced my life in a HUGE way. Music is prolly id say close to 50% of my life. The other 50 some % being family/friends/money. And i nearly only bang screw music. I have to have my music slow or i jus cant stand it, I love the sound of slowed down beats and the bass hittin so hard for so long. So heres a dedication of DJ Screw. I Rather Bang Screw. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VtgnFrqM8eA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VtgnFrqM8eA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> BIG EDIT!: My favorite version of the above song.

screw was a great dj.........most of the shit i listen to is screwed texas stuff to bad he's not here to show watts how to really do it
Y'know what im sayin. Fuck watt's. Im trying to bring DJ Screws legacy to the Detroit/Midwest/East Coast and make it big and for being in myspace a very short time ive got a pretty big fanbase. Aswell as knowing three signed rappers, All three in different groups.
good collection of videos in this thread, +rep man. Coming from someone who lives literally 10 minutes from downtown, You hear a lot of fakes and phonies....knockoffs and shit, it really is a art form when you look at it. It may not be the most expressive form of art, but ol Dude Robert Davis Jr. knew wtf he was doing. DJ Screw is the man, the technique and his timing of the chops and flows is astounding. Kewl thread. I like this shit.
Hell yeah, good thread, RIP robert earl davis and john hawkins. All I bang in my car is screw and z-ro. Try to find a song called Roll 4's On 3's KSR, I think you'll like it. Here's my favorite SUC flow session: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TlhvmeJ-R60"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TlhvmeJ-R60" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
sry dude but i gotta rep u too for that video, lol good ass flows right there "Pulling stunts like evil keneval, droppin hits like the beatles" haha
Hell yeah, my favorite parts are "I'm ghetto fabulous living lavishness the words I manifest are harder than calculus" and "Everyday all day we parlay and sip pints of lean in 2 liters with a fat ass grip" And throughout the whole video Al-D is saying "MAAAANNNNNNN MANNNNN" which is funny as fuck when i'm high.
One of my favorite SUC freestyles. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xO0ArktBomI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xO0ArktBomI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> C & S version. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YXcfLMeJ524"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YXcfLMeJ524" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Damn KSR didn't expect you to know this much about down south rap, not very many people have heard "i'd rather bang screw" and it's one of my favorite songs easily. I've seen that freestyle over 100 times too, Pokey goes off "we flip it and distribute it going through southwest, boys outta line catch a slug in they chest". Edit: Watts does suck, he's a cocky motherfucker and he's no where near as good as screw. His shit just sounds dragged out. "Often imitated never duplicated"
Oh yeah, he made some good rap too. Chopping was really good and chopping music is hard compared to changing the pitch (screwing). I got some of his heavy in the streets albums and such. Good shit. I've been told that he didn't die of promethazine overdose and that all of that is bullshit. That true?
It is(in my opinion) bullshit. Everyone in the SUC sips on lean, all day everyday "everyday all day we parlay and sip". For a man his size to OD on Lean(Codeine and promethazine) you'd need a fucking LOT. Z-Ro thinks someone in the SUC slipped meth into his codeine, which could be true.
Bangin' the screw is always some good beats. I used to try to chop and screw but ended up selling my two GateCrashers cuz they were taking up needed space. I wish I didn't sell them after all... =/
lol can anyone tell me how to do the effect on VDJ thats like if the line was IMA BUY U A DRANk it goes IMA BU BU BUY U DRANK its not a regular chop its like a stutter or something. Also how to use the effects like flanger and stuff. Screw is madd good. Ill never have his skill or even close to it. Shit i dont think ill ever even be good or real serious about it cause i dont have the money for tables and shit. If i was serious about it id have to stick to VDJ which i guess isnt that badd..
If yall like chop n screw check out my shit. www.myspace.com/djdrunkagain Mixtapes done but keep it on the hush haha i aient told the masses yet. Ive been doin it for awhile now and came up quite a bit. Screw tapes influenced me completley. I do everything on my own fuck some special effects. Nuttin but beat matching/looping/crossfader chops/and mixes.
