G,patek philippe jumbo aquanaut. Lil Flip Lil Keke and Screw himself spawned a number of local legends whose careers were built exclusively on slowed-down beats
By the mid-’90s chopped and screwed had dragged its way over to Houston’s North Side Seasoned hip-hop DJ Michael “5000” Watts appropriated Screw’s technique into something that would represent his own neighborhood inverting the term to “screwed and chopped” which would in turn create a rivalry between the city’s two polars (the “originators” versus the “adopters”) Watts who was always adamant in crediting DJ Screw as the inventor of the chopped and screwed sound has been widely regarded as expanding the subgenre beyond its Houston borders The success of his label Swisha House Records which represented artists such as Slim Thug Paul Wall Chamillionaire and Mike Jones lead to an increase of mixtape sales to cities throughout the South and his broadcast of a “screwed and chopped” mix-show on local commercial radio would garner new generations of listeners The emergence of DJ Screw and his syrupy sound coincided with the rise of a drug culture in Houston that centered on the consumption of a beverage called purple drank which also went under the monikers lean drank sizzurp and Texas Tea The violet-hued concoction whose most potent ingredient was the prescription-strength cough syrup known as codeine was considered to be a significant catalyst in the way people listened to chopped and screwed due to its lethargic brain-numbing effect when consumed in large quantities The drug’s prominence in the lyrics of chopped and screwed artists resulted in an enduring affiliation with the subgenre coexisting in way LSD did with psych rock This relationship solidified when Screw an avid consumer of the drug died on November 16 2000 from what medical examiners said was a lethal combination of codeine and alcohol
Following Screw’s death chopped and screwed saw a prominent rise in popularity throughout America’s South acting as a tribute to his memory Later in 2000 Memphis-based group Three Six Mafia released the drank-eulogizing “Sippin’ on Some Syrup” which would become one of the group’s biggest singles In 2003 Mississippi native David Banner became the first artist to turn over a chopped and screwed album – Mississippi: The Album – to the hands of a major record label Universal Records A pivotal moment for the subgenre Banner’s album went on to sell over 50000 copies and managed to infiltrate cities outside of the South including St Louis Philadelphia and Washington DC This prompted Universal to commission a slew of chopped and screwed album remixes from their entire roster of Southern rap artists including the Cash Money Records crew
The legacy of DJ Screw and his codeine-guzzling sound would continue to resonate with newer generations of artists long after his premature demise Mainstream acts including Ludacris Lil Wayne Mystikal and Juvenile would all release chopped and screwed versions of their albums and even Ciara and A$AP Rocky would incorporate the style into some of their tracks The technique would even inspire subgenres outside of the hip-hop sphere demonstrated via creeping basslines and pulsing reverberations in the synth-laden dirges by “witch house” acts such as SALEM and White Ring Yet despite chopped and screwed’s unremitting musical influence that has since reached a global scale the style will always be engraved in the identity of its Houston birthplace and that of its namesake DJ Screw
