According to everything I can find, Waitin' On Slant is Screw's first official tape. I'm sure it's not the first tape he's ever made, but here is as good of a place to start as any. The bare-bones blueprint of chopped and screwed is definitely here, as the songs are slowed down and occasionally chopped up, though certainly not as professionally done as later tapes would be. An hour and forty-five minutes is a lot to digest, though, and there is some filler on this. Still, there are great moments here. An early highlight is N.W.A.'s "F*ck The Police" screwed to the instrumental of Dr. Dre's "Ain't Nuthin' But A G Thang". Near the end, a masterful screw of Public Enemy's "By The Time I Get To Arizona" leaks from the speakers even more smoothly than the original. The recording quality here is pretty lo-fi, which is understandable, but it also gives off that gritty feeling that is lessened a bit on later, more clearly-produced screw tapes. Altogether, this marks a great beginning for one of hip-hops most important artists.
