Wow, what can be said about DJ Screw that hasn't already been tatooed on someone's arm? Screw is like a god down here, the one to singlehandedly provide Texas rap with its own distinct identity. Matching the mood of his tapes with the prevailing mood of Southside Houston, Screw attracted a dedication bordering on a religious phenomenon. Rappers in Texas grow up on Screw like church pastors grow up on The Bible. Screw not only had that uncanny ear, but he also had the techniques. Long before deejaying went entirely digital, Screw was messing with listeners minds with his live remixing of tracks. RIP to the undisputed king of Texas rap...
