so supposedly dj screw got the slowed down choppin shit from a dj named micheal price. they say screw stole his whole style. darrell scott touched on it in this video. might be ol but i jus came across it. they say screw claimed to be the originator after the death of michael price

DJ Screw - The Untold Story - YouTube

Screw the Originator ya Price and Scott tinkered with slowin it down but Screw perfected it n if u dnt feel the same way go get yo self a price or scott tape

DJ Lil Steve is the originator of the slow down shit & screw tape

Screw weren't the 1st to slow shit down that's correct cause I remember back in the late 80s them florida kats JPE (Jam Pony Express) was slowin they tapes down way before ppl even knew who Screw was.

But Screw is the Originator of "Tap Tap".

But D. Scott and Micheal Price did slow shit down first in TX it all started with alternating your boombox with a "Screw". Then D. Scott took it to another level on the 1s and 2s.

I got a few D. Scott Tapes they're OK nothin special about em except for them being Collector's Items.

THEY'RE NOTHIN' LIKE A "SCREWTAPE"!!!!!!! I REPEAT.....THEY'RE NOTHIN' LIKE A "SCREWTAPE"!!!.

actually darrell scotts 11 1/2 is a fuckin classic. i use to have it son. lol. n if i dont feel the same way thats jus the way i feel thats y we individuals

Common knowledge, none of you watch documentaries or what lol.

DJ Screw did more then slow the record down No one can make a screwtape but screw leave the topic alone before y'all start Disrespecting that man.

I thought DJ Screw's name came from the fact that he used to scratch up shitty records with a screw.. Which one is the truth?

DJ Screw... the originator...





thats all...

how is talking about him "disrespecting" last time i checked he was 6 feet i dont think he cares what your saying now

the bottom line: screw didnt invent slowing music down but he did it better then anyone else

what's that?

at the end of the day, Screw made it popular...and unlike most S/C dj's (even today)...he actually had some good turntable skills to back up it up plus he rallied houston rappers to make one powerful rap scene.

"Tap Tap" means choppin'....And Screw did make it popular and he did have skillz no doubt about that. I've heard tapes from Screw that sounded like he was workin 4 tables at once. I mean the nigga was str8 beastin' it all through the tapes.

R.i.p Robert Earl Davis!

I'd rather bang my Screw...

if it aint screwed up i dont wanna hear it

Lack on pancake while im pourin up tha syrup

Screw even admitted himself he originally saw some other dude slow a record down and he liked the idea. He took that idea and Screwed up the whole world. There is absolutely nothing like a real authentic Screw tape. No one can chop it, and mix it like he did, add Screw's Syrupy voice hosting the tapes, and some throwed ass G's wreckin' the mic, nothing can imitate it. Especially nowadays, nobody even uses records anymore. Screw kept it real until he died and only used records. Who cares who first slowed a record down, Screw got his door kicked in by the DEA because he was selling so many tapes out of his house, they thought he was selling drugs. No one can repeat what that man did.

sorry for the late late reply, I didn't realize you responded.

DJ Screw didn't originate "tap tap" or "choppin". It's one of the oldest turntable effects in the turntable world.

im pretty sure screw invented doin nothin but slowed up music

if you ask any old old timers even before rap there was dj's slowing down music
it doesn't even matter if screw didn't invent shit
he still did it best

No one had applied it to song the way Screw did. That's what made his shit stand out.

no, the slowing down the pitch to his mixtapes what made him stand out. Again, chopping/taptap/beatjuggling/walking/tapping/cutting whatever term u wanna call it is an old dj effect. It's as old as scratching. Listen to any decent turntablist and you will here them "tap tap", normally they use the technique to help speed up the beat to transition easier into the other song.

the reason I love Texas DJs is because they do more than just host a mixtape... theres actually skill envolved...

chopping and screwing ain't easy...

I wanna shout out my favorite DJs in Texas history... fuck you if you don't like my list...

1. DJ Screw

2. OG Ron C

3. Watts

4. DJ Yellaboy




these niggas here are the truth...
