Screw said, “All y’all out there crumbsnatching. If your name’s Joe, that’s a Joe tape. If your name’s Mike, that’s a DJ Mike tape. If your name Paul, then that’s a Paul tape. My name is Screw.” It’s not a Screwtape unless Screw did it.

 “They doin’ it now because of Serato, and all these other programs that they got that tell you the beat count. But doin’ a blend? Screw was doin’ that straight off his own mind. There was no machine that was showin’ him how to do it. The turntable didn’t have a beat counter on it. Nothing had a beat counter on it. He was just actually listening to the song through his headphones and hearing a beat count in his mind. There was no such thing as BPM to him.” 

 

where you could hear the music being torn apart as it rushed by, where you could count the letters of every word being spoken like they were being spoken to you. The storytelling came alive, and the vibration beneath it was built from a vast library of hip hop, funk, soul, reggae and R&B records that Screw would rope together and drag down to the same level, no matter the origin of the sound.
