Dj Screw Era Was Crazy

[gurf]

Man I used to love hitting up Fort Worth and jacking my cousins tapes. I was out in west Texas and and came back with heavy cds and tapes. Used to copy them joints and sell em for 20.

Wasn’t until something like 96 or 97 when you could cop in stores.

My question is how often did screw or his label get hit with cease and desist?

That shxt had to be piling up if he was selling tapes at that volume..

Different times back then he wasn't getting hit with anything like that. I remember hearing at one time Face and Rap-A-Lot had an issue but it was squashed immediately. Screw was independent and underground and back then majors didn't pay attention unless you showed up on their radar. We had Southwest Wholesale back then and didn't need majors for anything and they didn't want anything from us until the money being made could no longer be ignored. That's why the music was so amazing back then. We had our own machine and could sell anything from mixtapes out of our houses/trunks or press up our own CDs with SW Wholesale, tour and make millions.

Nah it didn't happen often like @Monoblock said. A lot of the majors weren't really up on Screw like that to really know what was up

Although he did run into a lot of issues trying to put the store version of 3 N The Mornin together. A lot of shyt he couldn't get cleared or get permission to use for that one

Plus a lot of the artists who's music he used weren't really tripping cause Screw was growing their fanbase.

For example, Screw is the reason Cash Money blew up in Texas. Birdman found out about Screw and didn't even trip, he let Screw keep using their music on his tapes

Yea you right I forgot about the Jive and UGK situation. I remember at a time a gang of shyt from Rap-A-Lot just wasn't on Screw tapes and I heard that it Face was the one who really had the issue with it but he probably had a battery in his back at the time. J was wrong as fukk going on Drink champs telling that bold face lie about 3-2 extorting Screw. That was bullshyt. You right and Mike D even told the real story on the Donnie Houston podcast. J be straight up lying or get years mixed up. Truth is all the Houston nikkas at the time loved and repped Screw more than J and Rap-A Lot nikkas back then and what really irked Jive and Rap-A Lot is their rappers were coming over there jumping on tapes and dedicating official songs and albums to Screw calling him the king.

it wasnt face... face useta slip screw shoutouts all the time on albums...

originally the rumor was it was suavehouse cease n desisting...

tony draper ball n g was like ...its not us because we bringin the wax to screw.. to be on mixes

i remember they were asked about screw ...in murder dog.. n ball let it be known we would never do that

i kno for a fact they wasnt lyin because me n my potna caught crimeboss wet smokin ass off tidwell n sheppard gone.. had a box of tapes. cds.. n 2 vinyls both had screw writen on it .. the album was conflict n confusion..

he gave me n my potna tapes n cds to put on cars lol...he thought they were flyers...

gaves 200 dollars for doin it...


gotta remember at one point it was more southside nikkaz on rapalot than it was north at one time..

also only ppl that knew what was on the screwtape is the buyer n screw....

not like they came with a tracklisting...

tracklisting didnt come around until them boys at the screwshop forum tosin site.. started breakin tapes down and puttin tracklisting to damn near all the tapes..

had a whole section dedicated to every screw, swishahouse, beltway 8, mobstyle, underground funk, slab etc

over time 98 -05-06 .. mixes slowly but surely got the correct names of songs n artist on tapes..the more ppl came to the sight the better the tracklisting got..

rapalot n jive... did it because certain artist were fans... and the tapes went around n ended up in the wrong hands... or somebody in the city like j knew about em.. wanted a piece of the pie...

screw was making a killing..no middle man...
