THIS IS A SLIM K SLOWDOWN

this guy is my favorite chopped & screwed remixer ever besides OG Ron C and the obvious DJ Screw.

he also did Watch the Throne, Live.Love.A$AP. and Take Care for those who are curious.

I'd probably get the Take Care one just because Light Up sounded so cool slowed down

Yeah, I was listening to the Echoes one earlier today. Horrible stuff. "Initiation" is interesting though. Mostly just because of the vocal effects present in the original.

DJ Screw wasn't a dumbass, he fronted one of the best collectives in hip-hop history but yeah he did. So did Pimp C.

Hey, not everyone spends their days sipping on purple drank.

Th-they don't?
How do they live without sippin lean on some H-town shit?

but no to those who don't "get it", it's not necessarily supposed to be complex. When DJ Screw did it back then, he would warp these tapes and vinyls and it would give this dreamy, swirling sound that could either be used for parties, postin up or just make it more soulful (you can see the latter in his One Day remix and a lot of Chopped&Screwed versions of R&B songs)

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbYuSuAkwPA
Originally this song was great, just this low-down gangsta theme song, but DJ Screw just turned it into this warped, sinister dark world of a hustla.

and now that a lot of today's production is a lot more lush and synthy, it's used to create these dreamy, hazy soundscapes along with giving the rapper/singer a more chill (to possibly dark or emotional) sound.
See: Chopped and Screwed versions of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, The-Dream, The Weeknd.

or you can just pour some purple and let it all set in yourself.

Not really a fan of chopped&screwed stuff. I like the song November 18th by Drake though.
