The origin of the word "pioneer" derives from the Frech word pion or "foot soldier," a soldier whose task it was to prepare the way for the main body of troops marching into a new area. In the most literal sense of the word Robert Davis Jr. a.k.a. "DJ Screw" was a true hip hop pioneer. Davis was and is the grand master of "Screwed & Chopped" music, a technique of slowing the pace of music to almost an obscure drag personifying the underground lifestyle of the Houston streets that made him famous. With a small army of MCs known as the Screwed Up Click or S.U.C., Screw began a mix-tape movement that would one day take the music industry by storm.
Unfortunately, DJ Screw would not live to see his army which once only enjoyed celebrity status in Houston's underground and hailed as "platinum in the streets" now reaping the benefits of global sales becoming "platinum in the charts." DJ Screw has left legacy from what was once a cult following to the mainstream embrace of his sound that has launched several careers and arguably one of the biggest movements in hip hop.
DJ Screw: Untold Story tells the story of Robert Davis before the phenomenon and before the fame from the people who were there. This DVD also contains never-before seen footage of the one man who gave Houston its sound indentity, at work and at play as well as interviews with the original members of the S.U.C., Davis' family members and others whose careers are influenced by his music.

It's a pretty good dvd but the only problem i had with it is that at times you can't hear what some of the S.U.C. members are saying cause the volume is very low on some of the scenes
