I've heard some random "chopped and screwed" remixes and just found them more boring than anything else, but I'm willing to keep an open mind. What's a good sampler of why DJ Screw was so revered?

In my opinion, start with Strawberry Jam. it's drat near flawless. However, if you want to get into something more representative of the free folk sound, go with Feels.

I have to agree, they've gotten slowly more accessible with each album so start with Strawberry Jam and work your way backwards.

Anyone know where to start with...The Roots?

Definitely Things Fall Apart, which is solid from start to finish and is basically the pinnacle of their more straightforward jazz-hiphop fusion of their early albums. After that they start branching out a lot more. I'd recommend the followup Phrenology, which is pretty all over the place, and then you can either continue to move forward if you like that more, or move backwards from Things Fall Apart if you prefer that album's style.

Their latest Rising Down is loving amazing but it's also their darkest and synthiest yet.
