1995 was a momentous year for DJ Screw. Two of his greatest tapes, the all-time classic Bigtyme Recordz Vol. II: All Screwed Up and the unforgettable 3 'N The Mornin': Part 2, were released to acclaim from the southern hip-hop community and Screw began to make himself known outside of Texas more widely than ever before. On A Pint is an early '95 tape, and it's easy to tell given the abundance of 70's funk, west coast gangsta rap, and some hometown brew in both song selection and freestyles. In fact, the tape opens with two freestyles in a row, both of which are pretty good, before sliding into the combination of g-funk and early funk classics that permeated his '94 catalogue. It's extremely solid and very well made, and it gives the impression that it was all becoming too easy for Screw. It's true, because at that point in time he could make stuff like this in his sleep. Knowing this, the expansion of his sound was wholly welcomed later on in his career.
