8 Years Ago Today... RIP DJ ScrewDL Tribute Show Featuring D-Drew (also RIP)Tough Times Party at I Luv VideoLAST NIGHTS EVENT!

I'll never forget the day I heard the news of the passing of DJ Screw. It was one of those celebrity deaths that I just couldn't accept. You know when someone tells you someone has passed, and it just doesn't register in your heart or your mind. Like, you just sit there denying it until finally one day you accept it. I don't know. It took me a while to get over DJ Screw though.



Unlike a lot of the Houston artists, I never knew DJ Screw much. We met once, I shook his hand in a record store and told him I respected what he did. I always respected what he did, even though honestly, I have never been much of a Screw head. I just always saw him as a force to be reckoned with. A DJ who touched the people like no DJ I had ever seen before.

If he were alive today, I know for sure that we'd be touring the world. I know for a fact that the "Houston movement" would have been stronger and longer lived. I know for a fact that he would have kept it real, also like no other DJ I have ever seen.

DJ Screw was the realest, and I not only miss him, but I long for his presence and influence.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE DAMAGE CONTROL TRIBUTE TO DJ SCREW FROM 11-17-2004. D-Drew, Grit Boys, Yungstar and more are on here flowing for the man.

That shows a classic. One of the finest moments we had with the late D-Drew on there. Drew was murdered a couple weeks back in Houston. Found dead in a car at 7 a.m. I don't know what happened, all I know is another one of my dudes is gone.

That's actually one of the reasons we moved to Austin, I can't take too much heartbreak. Too many of my friends in Houston have passed, way too young in these past years.

R.I.P. DJ Screw and your young potna D-Drew.





Thanks to Tim BBS for the photos. We will be up at Damage Control first week of December together to do a 1 year anniversary tribute to Pimp C.

See what I am saying?

-----------------

Crazy shit is last night we did a lil impromptu tribute to DJ Screw in the back parking lot of the Beauty Bar. My man Craig Stewart wanted DJ Chill to play with these experimental bands Rusted Shut, Peaking Lights and The Golden Boys. So I talked to Chill and reminded him that at midnight it would be the 8th ANniversary of the passing of DJ Screw.

DJ Screw and DJ Chill lived together in the early 90's and shared turntables! So he knows his history.

So anyway, Screw's music was experimental, so we had Chill play classics from Screw tapes all night at this experimental show. Shit was off the chain. Went all over the place last night.


Anyway, Rusted Shut are Houston legends of filth.




Killin' it!


cRAIG AND dOMOKOS!


DJ Chill!




Richard Henry and DJ Chill


Sarah is a friend of mines and DJ Chill. I forgot she was from Austin though, but she is. Off that Nawf. Anyway, she came down and was all like "HEEEEEY I CAME TO SEE YOU AND DJ CHILL!" But didn't quite understand any of the rest of the music. So I put Don on her to make sure she learned.


Pon di mic.


Peaking Lights getting PRESS!












Craig again!




Rufus of the Scoot Inn. Lets not forget SISTER NANCY/QUEEN MAJESTY/GRIMY STYLES/MOSSMAN SOUNDSYSTEM Nov. 22nd at The Scoot Inn!

Anyway it went down. Another fine event! DJ Chill played Tom Tom Club and Burning Spear directly off them Screw tapes.

We miss you Screw. Screw Love.

-------------------------

Also don't forget to come to the Beauty Bar tonight if you really want to party. Dress warm.







SEE YA TONIGHT AT THE BEAUTY BAR IN THE BACK AND SUCH!

Nothing is wrong with the sceneLast night was on that magical level

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IT WENT DOWN! LOL...

Man I have said it before and I'll say it again, this live band shit has to be the new movement for hip-hop. At least down here man. We are from a musical region, lets just be musical, and vibrant, and rockin' and shockin' and whatever, shit was off the chain. DJ Knowledge opened the show and spun records all night and I'ma say this, dude does not get enough credit. He is definitely in the upper echelons of the Austin DJ Community. Dude has some serious skills and can mix Tribe Called Quest with UGK and then play some funk. Dude is a killer on them decks! Black Mike came out and lyrically slayed everyone, and his band killed. Mojoe is one of the greatest live bands in hip-hop ever, and Bavu Blakes & the Extra Plairs is too.

I could go on and on and pontificate all sorts of things but real talk I know you'd rather just see the photos. Hopefully video coming soon.


IT WENT DOWN, as stated above.


Black Mike & Kemistry!

These good folks FLEW from Seattle to see this show cuz they are huge Mojoe fans. Was real cool to chop it up with them about their city and to see the excitement they had for the show! They came at like 9 p.m.! Word to them!
