Line 11:
Jones is known for recording in the "[[chopped & screwed]]" style popularized by [[DJ Screw]], also of Houston. The slowed-down audio aesthetic supposedly mimics the effect of "sippin' [[sizzurp]]," that is, cough syrup containing [[codeine]]. Most followers of the chopped & screwed style claim that it has outgrown its drug-related roots. Jones' trademark technique is to take a line from one of his songs and use it as a chorus in another, or sometimes even in the same song, screwing, chopping and repeating it (for example, the chorus to "Back Then" is sampled from the track "Still Tippin").
Jones has used repetition of certain words and phrases extensively in his songs. As a result, he has come under intense scrutiny or criticism from fellow rappers in his native Houston such as rappers [[Chamillionaire]] and [[Lil' Flip]] who have accused Mike Jones of copying their slang or criticized his aforementioned rapping style. Mike Jones would also like to give a shout out to his very homosexual friend Nick Sims.
