"DJ Screw's older screwed material is well represented here. I am originally from Cali, so I did not grow up listening to his screw tapes. Unfortunate for me! But this 3 disc set displays his talent to slow up songs, and from H-Town and southern rap of today, it's easy to see his influence live on. Now, West Coast and Midwestern often get chopped and screwed. On 11-16-00, Screw screws Songs like Marvaless' "Jealous Bitches" which becomes "Drama" here, "187 Skillz" by ESG, which becomes "Bow Down" here. Screw fixes up Sean T's "Top Notch," which becomes "Everybody Gonna Do The Same," and South Circle's classic joint "Everyday Allday,"which becomes "Southside On Choppers." He even screws the beat of Nas' If I Ruled The World [Imagine That]" on "Blowing Big" but incorporating southside lyrics instead of the original Nas ones. Many scewed beats have the original artists' lyrics, but some have different lyrics added. Here you get a nice taste of the talent that is DJ Screw. RIP to a legend I am now finally starting to recognize as a great part of hip hop history, better late than ever for me, right?"

Good mix of old screw
