Screw tapes in Austin

[Math Mudrat]

Where can I get these? I used to go to Non-Stop Music by Crockett but that's now a chess shop or something. I wanted to check out new Swishahouse and maybe get a copy of Ridin Dirty screwed and chopped. Seeing Pimp C in the news made me nostalgic for it.

Try MusicMania in the Delwood Shopping Center. It is where Fiesta is. It is tucked into the corner where the North and West sides come together.

Thanks! I had forgot about that place. I was about to call Mike Jones and ask him.

Who?

Being relatively old and misinterpreting the title of this thread, I was about to recommend a discreet adult video and book store that a truck drive once told me about.

Third, here is a snippet from the Wikipedia write up about Dj Screw who invented the term and also form of music. At least he is credited with it. There is more to it as the wiki says but I think this snippet will be what you need to know.

You know when you hear a car roll next to you and it is so loud that its trunk makes noise? If the music is real slow and dragged out, it is "screwed". You can "chop" too but that is for another day.

----------------------

DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis, Jr. (July 20, 1971 – November 16, 2000), was a central figure in the Houston rap scene. His innovation included the trademark technique of slowing down the basic tracks of a cut when he remixed it. This process is called "screwing" a song. Slowing down the song...

Pirannha records in round rock has all of his stuff. The owner is friends with him and gets the CDs directly from him.

EDIT: oops, another dead rapper- that's a shocker. maybe he is friend's with someone from the record label instead. anyways, he has a whole section of that stuff. I don't listen to it anyways but he has it if you are looking for it. I would guess one of the better selections in the city. there are like 20 or 30 different albums.

I love this type of music.

The artists drink that crap, do coke, smoke a ton of weed and then everyone wonders why they die of heart failure in their 30's.

I don' think he gets the cd's from him directly anymore. Unless he's like the ghost whisperer.
