It means it's Brrbrbrllrlllrrr
when the song is edited
they took some parts out and put some in
like they chopped some parts out and screwed like fixing the song up
Screwed means they simply slowed the tempo of the beat down to mimic the feeling of being high off the mixture of cough syrup and soda. It got its name from DJ Screw who popularized the style in Houston, Tx.
Chopped means the dj making record scratches, rewinding the tape a few seconds backwards or fastforwarding it a few seconds forwards. And distorting the music and and lyrics to have the affect of almost sounding like a a scratched up record.

with all due respect: hip-hop is dying... it's gotten way too commerical and is no longer nearly as cool as it was 5 years ago. How can they keep doing the same stuff over and over? I think what's coming back now is dance music.. just check the Rihanna single or the Cascada single or even the Danity Kane single... btw --- for those in the know -- this dance style is actually coming from Europe, and now the American producers are starting to copy it.... check this itunes link for a compilation of the european stuff -- spend 5 seconds listening to it and you'll know what I'm talking about..... http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSea...
