Chopped And Screwed

Chopped and screwed music is a subgenre of hip-hop characterized by its distinctive, slowed-down tempo and psychedelic soundscapes. Emerging in the late 1980s in Houston's African American community, this style was pioneered by DJs who manipulated vinyl records to create a hypnotic, drawn-out effect. By the mid-1990s, chopped and screwed had gained popularity, particularly in the Southern United States. The genre's cultural significance lies in its reflection of the city's vibrant, marginalized community, with lyrics often addressing street life, social issues, and personal struggles. Chopped and screwed draws from funk, soul, and gangsta rap, but its unique sound is distinguished by its deliberate tempo alteration, which creates a dreamlike atmosphere. This style has influenced subsequent hip-hop subgenres and remains a staple of Houston's music scene, symbolizing the city's rich cultural heritage and creative resilience.
