**JUNE 27TH. DJ SCREW'S BIRTHDAY**

DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis, Jr. (27 June 1971, Bastrop, Louisiana–16 November 2000), was a central figure in the Houston rap scene. His trademark was slowing down a song when he remixed it. This process is called 'screwing' a song. Slowing down the song was supposed to recreate the effect of recreationally using codeine, also known as syrup or sizurp.
His creations are hard to come by legally, but are still available at Screwed Up Records and Tapes on Cullen St. in Houston, Texas or on the www.screweduprecords.com website.

The above paragraph was from some website we found when we typed 'June 27 DJ Screw'. It was only yesterday (late 92 or early 93) that we started hearing about Screwtapes.
A friend put me up-on-it and so I said, "Screwtapes? whats that, something u have sex to?".
Initally she said, "Nah its rap freestyle tapes with errybody on there from the Southside.."

We all know the history, but this here is the pioneer. Alot of artists needed a director and he was the innovator.
Are you an innovator?
