chopped & screwed Hotel California (Eagles)

[girlwoo]

i heard it tonight on houston's 104.9 choppaholix. it was cool. i can't seem to find any info about it. i wonder if they chopped&screwed it there as it was being played or if it's recorded somewhere to buy or download. leslie

So was the album remixed by a new artist or with electronica? What did it sound like?

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

I could chop & screw it myself ... I'm bored ... I think I'll do it right now and put it up for download for about less than 24 hours ... just so more people can give a listen to it.

Explanation for the 'chopping and screwing' virgins please.

Well, you know....

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

screwing: slowing the music down

chopping: kind of a stutter like instead of saying "hit me baby one more time" it's "hit hit me baby one more time" but still keeping the same spot on the song (it requires two turntables with two songs slightly (a second or less usually) apart timewise)

Nice job :good job: Same song, but syncopated... I get it

[Shawn]

Argg me matey. A tough call about what I thought of that. I have a serious respect for the Eagle's music, so I was saddened that it ended up chopping a few words out at the beginning of lines. The effect was great otherwise. The music sounded even cooler in this format than usual.

I'll give it a b+. :good job:

So...................If a person 'looked around', would they find chopped versions of songs to be had?

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

I knew it might catch a fan off gaurd, but I just did it for the member. I don't usually do songs like that ... whenever I do it, it's usually some R&B or rap song. The Choppaholix in Houston will do damn near any song... they even do songs from Mexico and other Spanish music, stuff like The Eagles, and of course, rap and R&B.

About the music, it's all over the place ... the most popular screwed and chopped songs come from an independent label in Houston, Texas called Swishahouse ( http://www.swishahouse.com ) although the Choppaholix ( http://www.choppaholix.com ) are a growing force in Houston as well. Chingo Bling is a major part of the Choppaholix, he is a serious rapper, only 18 (I believe) and even does parodies of songs (at times he's like a mexican Weird Al).

Anyway, Choppaholix has a program on Party 104.9 in Houston and the Swishahouse has a program on 97.9 The Boxx in Houston and if I'm not mistaken, they compete and run at the same time (Sunday evenings).

Cool shit BeatFactory :scratchin:

[rainbowdemon]

What in the hell was that?

[Ken]

Isn't it still techincally copyrighted though?

If it contains even a microsecond of copyrighted music, BeatKing could be in trouble, correct?

[rainbowdemon]

Good point, Ken. I know it's legal to post samples of copyrighted work. Might this fall under that?

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

I posted earlier that this wouldn't be up longer than 24 hours... it's gone now, but just PM me if you want it.
