when i got back home and :killacam: the thread, i was like "yo, it's chopped and screwed shit, Bender. duhhhhh" :retard:

but i mean just soloing single lines?

is there some special meaning to it, or some reference to some other shit, why cats are all doing it?

or is it just a little nod to Screw?

(the first person to mainstream it might have still been Kanye, on 'Drive Slow')

obviously southern influenced. kayne is a BAD example of that style. swisha house does it well.

who else did then?

besides something on BET Uncut late night, who else did something like this that got mainstream exposure?

i don't mind you educating me (with something I probably know already but just forgot) but don't sit there and laugh at people thoughts like you're so much smarter, then contribute nothing in return.

i can't even think of any No Limit/Cash Money/big Southern singles that chopped and screwed shit in the 90's/2000's that made it nationwide...

DJ Screw IS NOT mainstream American music, fuck what you think :rofl:

I like how Prodigy does it on 'Real Power Is People' :ironmike:
