Chopped and screwed
Chopped and screwed (also called screwed and chopped or slowed and throwed) is a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the early 1990s. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo down to between 60 and 70 quarter-note beats per minute and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and affecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version of the original. DJ Screw is the innovator behind the chopped and screwed genre. His key technique involved playing the same record on both turntables with a delay between them of one beat and quickly moving the crossfader side to side. This created an effect where the words or beats in a song were repeated without interrupting its tempo.
Rap Dictionary
chopped and screwednoun
Slowed down versions of rap songs, made popular by DJ Screw. Apparently influenced by the consumption of "lean", cough syrup mixed with Sprite, which could understandably slow down one's perception of things. DJ Screw gets his name from when he was younger, he used to use a screw on the records to make different sounds, but he is known for his slowing down of music. That is the "screwed" part, and the chopped part is the specific way that he mixed his music. He died of an OD, RIP Screw. An example of this technique was used by Producer Michael "5000" Watts of the Swisha House on Paul Wall's 2005 CD The People's Champ. People have followed in his steps but none can duplicate him. DJs never intend to take over his position but rather to have it live on. Followers include DJ Black, DJ SK4ZM, DJ Michael "5000" Watts, Paul Wall, OG Ron C, DJ Bull, DJ Yellaboy etc. ...playa chill, don't get ya body chopped & screwed... -- Pharrell Williams (Already Platinum)
