I have to agree that chopped and screwed shouldn't be played with every song, it just doesn't go. for the most part I only like it when certain hooks are chopped and screwed while the rest of the song is at regular pace. on the other hand, i have to disagree the statement on how it didnt get out of texas because a lot of mainstream started chopping and screwing their hooks, mostly southern hip hop/rap anyway

Not necessarily; Chopped and Screwed is used outside of Texas, but it's not as huge anywhere else as it is here in Texas. Same thing with Hyphy in the Bay Area. I know people like David Banner and other artist released some of their albums chopped and screwed.

i know lil wayne and alot of southern west coast and mid west artists have chopped and screwed hooks but thats all ( ie money on my mind by lil wayne). I think it make songs more interesting.

I don't think it will ever get that big but it's true, a lot of mainstream will chop and screw a line or two

On a random note, David Banner is a huge fan of Bay Area rap and Hyphy lol.

Only 4 or 5 of those songs made it to national tv (I should say got heavy rotation on tv by MTV/BET), inlcuding Blow the Whistle by Too Short, That Go by Keak Da Sneak, Stunna Shades by the Federation, Vans by the Pack, and Muscle Cars by E40.
