Houston Hip-Hop pioneer and Swishahouse founder Michael ‘5000’ Watts dies at 52

The 1st Devin the Dude album i ever had was actually the Swishahouse chopped & screwed version of The Dude

Played that cd so much i Had the lyrics memorized before i ever heard the regular version

Im from the Southside but Watts and them boys from the The North did what Screw and S.U.C should've been doing


Shoutout to 5000 Watts man for real


This is Paul Wall and Chamillions first ever Swishahouse flow and the only time Watts spit some bars

Being from the northside of Houston, where we didn’t have a lot of representation musically until swishahouse came, watts stamped us despite all the blowback that came from southside artists for doing screw music.

All those cats that blew up during the Houston boom back in 04/05 owe their careers to watts

Rest in peace big dawg
