What is chopped slang?

Chopped slang refers to the use of a specific set of terms and phrases that are commonly used in the hip-hop and rap music scene. This slang is often used to describe something that has been altered, manipulated, or changed in some way. For example, a "chopped and screwed" song refers to a remix in which the original song has been slowed down and mixed with various effects.

Some common terms used in chopped slang include "chopped," "screwed," "lean," "purple drank," and "syrup." These terms are often used to describe the process of creating chopped and screwed music, as well as the effects of the drug known as codeine syrup, which is often consumed by individuals in the hip-hop scene.

Chopped slang has its origins in the Houston, Texas hip-hop scene, particularly popularized by DJ Screw in the 1990s. Since then, chopped slang has become more widespread and is now commonly used in various genres of music and entertainment.
