For this episode, TSOM remembers the late Texas rap legend DJ Screw, who died 15 years ago this month, leaving behind a legacy that is still felt in today’s rap scene. Unfortunately, he also left behind a legion of wannabes and imitations. Tonight, we screw ourselves by exposing our eardrums to four of the most difficult screwed and chopped recordings. So fill your cup with some of that purple drank, take tomorrow off, and join us for the worst screwed records not from DJ Screw.
