3.5 greatAlabaster Jones | December 7th 15

In keeping with the same lo-fi aesthetic as his first tape, DJ Screw also more readily frequents and improves on his signature chopping technique, as demonstrated early on a great screw of Outkast's "Player's Ball". This also may be the first time a female emcee has appeared on a screw tape, as Da Brat makes several appearances on the tape. This tape marks another first for Screw that would become a staple on many of his tapes: the freestyle. This one isn't that great, as the verse by Spice 1 is merely decent and the recording quality very poor, but it's still cool to hear the first one in action. The best track off of the tape might just have to be a screw of Above The Law's "Gangsta Madness", which is an affecting track on its own, and achieves a similar, if not better, effect here. A tape of firsts for DJ Screw means that it is certainly one of his most important, and as such should not be passes over.
