chopped and blogged- john
DJ Will Blair once chopped and screwed a Tuxedo Killers EP. Car Stereo Wars screwed (didn’t do any chopping per se) Weird Al’s take on Chamillionaire- White and Nerdy- but until now – no one has attempted a whole mix of non-Houston affiliated tracks. This mix dropped online about a month ago and I am still marveling at the successful and genius novelty it achieved. Austin’s Prince Klassen took a nice little mix full of blog darling hits, (B-more, new rave…you name it) and then he slowed them and throwed them. These unlikely remixes are drapped up and dripped out. Know what I’m talking about?
Why hasn’t anyone thought to sloooowdown air horns and sirens before? Turn on any rap station in America and even if you aren’t hearing a single from Houston proper - odds are you are about to hear some sleazy producer’s take on what the h-town sound is. Also- you will without a doubt hear something T-pain had his vocodery fingers in- but that is whole other mixtape to talk about. Point being- the slowed down and repetitive phrasing of club jams pumps innovation into a genre that is on the verge of becoming stale due to over exposure. This mix is perfect even if you aren’t not hopped up on sizzurp or don’t know about DJ Screw. (Shame on you.)
Prince Klassen made a mix that would be great even if everything were to be played at it’s normal tempo. Anyone can impress me with Rye Rye and Klaxons, but slowing it down, doubling it, and putting it milliseconds off here and there takes a genius.
