RIP DJ Screw, Pimp C & Big Moe.

All of their deaths have been connected or related to codeine promethazine drank.

On December 4, 2007, Pimp C was found dead at the Hollywood Inn in West Hollywood, California, after Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a 911 call. The department arrived at his sixth floor hotel room to find Pimp C dead in bed. This was three days after Pimp C performed with Too at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.[4][5]

The Los Angeles County Coroner's office state Pimp C died from an accidental overdose of Promethazine/Codeine "syrup" mixed with a pre-existing medical condition, sleep apnea, which causes a person to stop breathing during sleep.[6][7]

DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis, Jr. (June 27, 1971 – November 16, 2000), was a central figure in the Houston hip hop scene. His innovation included the trademark technique of slowing down the basic tracks of a cut when he remixed it. This process is called "screwing" a song. Slowing down the song was supposed to recreate the effect of recreationally using Promethazine with Codeine also known as "lean" or "purple drank" in Houston slang. He was the main mixtape/street album mixer for the huge Houston hip hop South Park Coalition.

The medical examiner who performed the autopsy on DJ Screw concluded that Screw didnt just die from a codeine overdose but from exaustin, lack of sleep. There has also been speculation that his death was caused by a "long-term buildup" of codeine in his body, but since codeine has a very short half life (just a few hours), and since the human body actually gains tolerance to opioid agonists like codeine after repeated use, this speculation can be dismissed.

In a 2006 interview, long-time Screwed Up Click member Z-Ro revealed that the DJ Screw's autopsy found a sample of methamphetamine mixed in with the codeine. Z-Ro and other members of the Screwed Up Click have stated that DJ Screw did not use methamphetamine, and that they fully believe that someone within their large group murdered DJ Screw by slipping the methamphetamine into DJ Screw's codeine.[3] However, Z-Ro's claims are not only contradicted by the autopsy results, which did not report any finding of methamphetamine, but also by DJ Screw's manner of death (respiratory failure - not usually a problem for meth users). Other speculations say that the methamphetamine was just an ecstacy tablet in his system.

In the wake of DJ Screw's death Chopped and Screwed music became a bona fide sub-genre of American music in the early part of the 21st century as nearly every major hip hop label in America released at least one Chopped and Screwed version of a Southern Hip-Hop release in their catalog.
