Sadly so breh with the revisionist history. Some of these responses make me think certain people young cause the OGs on here I feel know Kidd is off like waaaaaaay offHe's an artist who lived in a bubble of drugs/touring/living up under Wayne and baby.
If you prefix these artists opinions with who they are and how they were living it's easy to not pay these nikkas any attention when they talk.
This is why working on an actual rap textbook is important (this is what Lupe's working on at MIT), hip hop is gonna keep aging and the only history we're gonna have to go off of is these burnt out nikkas in interviews making themselves bigger than what they really are that's just asking for cacs to come and rewrite this shyt once enough legends die off
Probably cause nobody followed them doing it. After squad people started doing it. That’s what popularized mean. He didn’t say he was the first one.I think you honestly missing the point . It's NOT about "Down Here" yes they were poppin BUT they were not popping before Screw bro. Like AT ALL. And I Fixed that for you you can't mobb up everyone as we and like I stated before Screw had SUC and OG Ron C had tapes out YEARS before ANY Squad Up bruh. With Lil Flip & other Screwed Up Click members do the EXACT same thing Kidd Kidd claiming he Popularized. Hell what is June 27th freestyle. Once again doing this EXACT same THING. So like people in here stating how can he (Kidd Kidd) even open his mouth and state he Popularized anything when them dudes were doing it before him? He would've did better saying of his era then he wouldve had a stronger argument. Bruh dead wrong
I know what you meant which is why I changed your quote in my response you made from "we" to "I". Go back and reread fam and the BOLD is wholeheartedly wrong. Don't know where you got this from . There's TOO MANY THREADS ON SCREW HERE DETAILING HIS HISTORY BEFORE HIS PASSING.Probably cause nobody followed them doing it. After squad people started doing it. That’s what popularized mean. He didn’t say he was the first one.
And when I say we I meant in New Orleans btw.
The world didn’t know who screw was and a screw tape was until he was dead bro. With the Houston movement.
Ok bro. The guys who blew up was literally shouting him out just off the strength they didn’t feel he got his recognition while alive. But you got it.I know what you meant which is why I changed your quote in my response you made from "we" to "I". Go back and reread fam and the BOLD is wholeheartedly wrong.

You right I got it bro. You really in here with revisionist history in regards to Screw and SUPER OFF. Check any thread on him rather just being in here trying to defend dude.Ok bro.

Thanks for info, but are you speaking for Texas or the entire South. 50's promo run before he was signed into the Interscope machine involved him hitting major Southern cities. Definitely ATL.
Part of the reason why he blew up nationally after signing is because of the groundwork laid as a mixtape artist. He had appeal outside of the Northeast.
In the DVD bundled with GRODT I think they showed one of these runs. I can't speak of how hard Southern hoods rocked with his early mixtapes, but he built his buzz like a Bay or Southern "out the trunk" artist would.
Here the point we pretend Dj screw was a premier dj and nationally known before his death.
He was a local Texas dj, maybe some parts of Mississippi and bama.Goddamn you still going!!! mjlol:
And Sqad Up was?. Seriously stop it. Comments in this very thread are disagreeing and you still running in here trying to rationalize and in error. You be wrong breh and this Not the first time I've seen you be wrong and looks like it gets you in your feelings when people disagree.with you. And alot of people knew who Screw was just not you. SIMPLE. You alluded to this being the case yourself in your response if you want to get technical.
Did he put out a mixtape, like 12 of them doing it? And a bunch of people start doing it afterwards lol.THANK YOU!! I was gonna post this. This is what happens when people have no knowledge of history and tell lies that people believe without doing any research. This was 1990.
The fact that his own people are in the comments of this very IG post disagreeing with what he saying tell me everything. Them DUDE did not popularize Anything. And not it's not facts it biasness on your part. And it clear as day brehHe was a local Texas dj, maybe some parts of Mississippi and bama.
He was a major known dj like that.
It’s just facts. If you named 100 dj back then known wise. He probably wouldn’t be in it.
Majority was from nyc, some la and others.
We talking bout who influenced. Not who did it first.
Majority of people didn’t know who he was until Paul wall, slim. Thug and Mike blew up.
What Wayne and squad was doing was different then them and yea, they style got emulated afterwards.
People knew Wayne was checking his tapes much more than anyone in Texas.
Respect to Texas cause they big enough to make they own artist be big to them.
But no screw tapes was influencing a bunch of people outside of the demo.
