No Ceiling (Chopped & Screwed)

*DL Links Refreshed! See bottom of post*

History of Purple Tape (10/2/25):
The message below is from 17 year old me shortly after my birthday. I was very excited about the direction hip hop was going and my new C&S journey I partook in. Other than 2Pac's All Eyez on Me when it was on Datpiff, this is probably my most successful purple tape in regards to popularity. The chops weren't perfect, but they were way better than the projects I was putting out in April of 2009...and my hype clearly showed...

10/30/2009: On October 28 the actual mixtape was leaked to the internet. On October 29 I started chopping this tape at like 5:00 PM. I finished at 11:00 PM, same day. RECORD FINISH FOR ME! And it's THE BEST C&S Project I made so far :D!

The Recession (Chopped & Screwed)

History of Purple Tape (10/22/2025):

This tape is somehow still alive. Wish some of my others made the old journey. Oh well, have fun if you're curious about my style from October 28th of 2009. I collaborated with a lot of DJs and I was doing several projects on my own. I think this was the first project I found the jet flanger effect and I started using it but I was still using that weird spacey one even on this tape. So glad I don't use that space flanger anymore.

Purple Tape Record DJs:

- DJ Ice (he still out there. He was really dope. I tried to match him and I remember it being hard at the time. Think I could give him a good run now)

- DJ DreDre (have no clue where the homie is)

- DJ 21-6

Solo DJs:

- Myself (I was not with PTR yet at this time)

- DJ CrazyD aka DSoldier (I think he's retired now)

- DJ Slim-Z (He might be PTR now, haven't checked)

I'll be honest. Some tracks are sloppy, and some are done okay. Some blends are off and the volume on some tracks are quite loud. The only stand-out tracks I would say exist on here are Welcome Back (Ice is nice asf, and I feel like my style now emulates his the closest) and What They Want. I'll have to listen in on it again and give my updated thoughts on good tracks. We all just wanted to have fun with this. Stay Screwed Up.

Incredibad (Chopped & Screwed)—LOST & SHELVED

History & Update (10/22/25):

This mixtape had an interesting history. I had a close friend who knew I chopped and screwed music. He was actually the one who inspired me to chop and screw Hybrid Theory and Meteora. I later did Minutes to Midnight when I had somewhat more conscious idea of how to chop a song. Anyway, this was mostly a joke but some songs apparently sounded good to people.

I almost could not chop this album for how hilarious it was to hear this mess slowed down and chopped up. If by some miracle someone has this album from Datpiff or zshare (before the link expired), please do send this one to me. It'll have some sentimental value, as well as be a humorous addition to the restored archive.

As of right now, I have no intentions of re-doing this album. Shelved until someone sends it in.

Release Therapy (Chopped & Thowed)—TBD 2026

History of Purple Tape (10/19/25):

This was another Datpiff requested tape. I had a pretty sizeable fan-base on Datpiff who inspired a lot of the albums I chose to do during that year. It was truly a fun time to be a part of the chopped scene. Anyway, this project was not my best work at the time either. And unfortunately, it did not survive the purge journey that took place with damn near all my projects.

I will consider re-doing this one. There were some really good songs on here I don't mind giving a go again. Stay tuned for this one, it may come down the line sometime in 2026. Typically with Redux releases, I like to either include old tracks I'm able to salvage as bonus tracks or throw in a few extra tracks that weren't a part of the original release. For this one, I will look into what I can do but I don't think this album had any bonus songs that came out with it. Might just do one of his mixtapes as CD2, not sure yet. Still need time to decide, so in the meantime I can put time into more refinement.

Trappin Ain't Dead (Chopped & Thowed)

History of Purple Tape (11/11/25):

This one was more of a Datpiff exclusive. It was also around the time I first got my YouTube page together and started uploading for the first time. This was a fun one...Trap Files was definitely my favorite song from this tape.

I might revisit it sometime in the future just for nostalgia purposes...but it'll have to be during a time I'm already doing Jeezy tapes. For now, it'll just be shelved.

Scars of Life (Mixed, Chopped, & Screwed) [Requested]—LOST & SHELVED

History of Purple Tape (10/19/25):

A fan from Datpiff reached out to me about this one, and he even sent me all the songs he wanted on the tape. I definitely went out my way to hook him up with a dope tape since he heard my Meteora / Hybrid Theory projects back in '09 and wanted me to do this. If he's still out there, please send me this tape my man! I'll re-post it online so others can hear that old chopped & screwed rock sound I had. This was a very interesting tape to chop! I bumped it a few times after I finished it as well. I definitely remember having a hard time finding a good picture for the band haha.

Anyway, I don't have this one either. It got lost due to Datpiff closure and didn't meet download numbers on zshare so they deleted it back then. Shelved for now unless the requestor or someone who still has this tape shares it with me.
