Mixtape by mixtape, I've been working my way through DJ Screw's insanely huge discography, which is up in its entirety on Pirate Bay. Pretty much every track is gold, Screw's taste is impeccable. For the last few weeks, I've also been digging into other members of the Screwed Up Click - these were all just friends from Houston who made a ton of albums together. It would be pretty inspirational actually the way they all stuck together, if they didn't all die in their 30s from codeine overdoses. At any rate, the track that made me curious about S.U.C. was this super raw, super insane 18 minute freestyle. Big Moe, who refers to himself as Mo-Yo on this track, really shines. I've listened dozens of times and every time I catch more and more gold. I love it because they're all clearly pretty messed up and sometimes fuck up and don't make sense. Gotta love the default line "Break these boys off" that's like a knee jerk reaction when anybody can't think of something else to say. If you're into this, also check out the much more notorious June 27 freestyle.
Screwed Up Click - Freestyle
As a sidenote, I'm also totally obsessed with this verse from H.A.W.K. Too hilarious.
"Man, yo gutter is lyin' in the gutter." Nice.

nice to see big moe and s.u.c. getting some love from WFMU. I try to push this stuff on all my friends and they just don't wanna hear it. I don't know how one can be interested in 'weird' music and not think dj screw is cool. maybe WFMU will lend it some credence in their elitist eyes....
