DJ Screw Chapter 16 - Late Night Fucking Yo Bitch

What can I say about DJ Screw that already hasn't been said, other than the fact he's from my hometown.  All you Houstonians know what he did to our city, but the rest of you might not.  In the 90's, especially later on in the decade when his work was gaining in popularity all over Screwston, you couldn't walk a block down the street without hearing the rumbling sound of Screw coming your way down the street.  He changed the whole sound of hip hop without ever signing on to major label, while also denying offers from labels all over the country.  He was independently producing these DJ mixtapes from his house in Sunny Side, overworking himself to the point of being an agoraphobic codeine addict, and sadly the combination of these two things were most likely what killed him.  I mean his discography is 248 fucking tapes, front and back.

This album is especially beautiful.  Essentially what he does is take vinyl records, slows them down on both sides and transfers and mixes all sorts of tracks.  On this record for example, he's all the way from Teddy Pendergrass to R. Kelly to Michael Jackson.  What Screw does, though, is he mixes it a lot like old school King Tubby era dub, where he brings up the bass, brings up the highs, and drops the mids and adds a shit ton of flange and a little reverb.  It gives it that syrupy sludge that just feels like H-Town.

This record is for.... well, you know.  And like DJ Screw said, "Im gonna let my hands do the talking."
