A Great Day in Houston - DJ Screwfest 2006!

Before we get into my review of and photos from DJ Screwfest I need to remind you that this Thursday July 27th is our HoustonSoReal LIVE Event with BBC 1xtra. DJ Semtex will be in town all week and it is going down. If you have mot RSVP'd yet, you need to do so now. Send your name(s) to BBCHoustonEvent@gmail.com and you will be in.

And to all who have emailed so far, I will be sending out confirmations tonight. Print 'em out and bring 'em to the door!



Anyway, see you Thursday. Below please find over 70 photos from yesterdays First Annual DJ Screw Fest. Believe me when I say it was off the chain. If you can't see it in the photos then you ain't looking. Peace to everyone involved and I hope to see it again next year.

Only complaint is that well, if I knew that Devin and Bun B were not even in town, I am quite sure the promoters did as well. I didn't hear too many shouts of Devin the Dude coming up later, but I sure did hear "THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME UGK IS ON STAGE TOGETHER IN OVER 4 YEARS!" On the radio all the way there, and being hollered from the stage. I know that "no shows" are normal in the rap world, but that bullshit has got to stop.

Anyway, enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed the event! (Which inceidentally was Elena's first concert. She can tell all her friends her first real concert was SLIM THUGGA MUTHAFUCKA!)

It was pretty insane when they cut the music on "Swang" and the entire crowd sang Hawk's verse.

Trae and Robert


And my good folks from What it Dew Magazine

All in all it was a great day that faced, but overcame some obstacles and I'ma assume everyone had a great time. I was fucking psyched in the end. What a wonderful, wonderful event. I'm ready for next years event. Though I mean, you really don't HAVE to have it around Screw's birthday, I mean, I'm thinking October would be good. There was a time this day where I thought I was gonna fall out from the heat. Man, for real. I don't generally hang in parking lots on 95 degree days. Wow. But it was worth every ounce of sweat. Thanks for the free beers and the great vibes. If you missed out, I'm sorry for you.

Damn, again, Im jealous. Very good pics, and as always, cool captions, as well as the write up, period. Wish I couldve been there. Im very happy to see that this has happened in my hometown. Can y'all see if we can have a Screwfest in BC? Bring more Texas to me, Matt, please. Free steroids and coc, instead of OE....

Just wanted to post a correction(not sure if you didn't really know or you were jsut trying to put something funny. Either way, the pic labeled "Mohammad 2G" is actually "Rashad Al-Amin", the host on the main stage and the producer of the DVD. If you haven't seen it, you should go pick it up. It tells the life story of DJ Screw. Beware of bootleggers. The real DVD also includes an exclusive Cd featuring The S.U.C.(Screwed Up Click)

yooooooo thanks for the correction. i realized that later on that it was rashad al amin. i have no idea why i called him muhammed 2g. i looked at the photo, and thought muhammed 2 g and then later was looking and was like "Wait, that's not Muhammed 2G." Still I have no idea why I did that, definitely wasn't a joke. Just a mistake aka brain fart.
