snoop dog ruined dubstep

[ontherun]

Have u guys heard how he butchered Chase + Status's single? Genre Exploited. Its too late. But.. one thing that wasn't mentioned on any blogs is that perhaps its Chase + Status's fault.. they after all have been selling out pretty hard since they left dnb. I wonder what the buyout was.

Peep the link for the song and more insight and lemme know whatchyou think.

nah I'd say any involvment of a huge star is a real help to an underground genre of dance music that is not on the radar at all is a huge benefit.

as crap as the lyrics can be.

how is it Chase and Status fault? One of the biggest MC's of our time wants to spit on their track... the opportunity to further thier careers is too juicy to pass by.

Bassnectar was raping the genre before Snoop got his hands on it.

[Grapes]

OH NO! THE GENRE! l

[ontherun]

Bassnectar isn't on MTV. Snoop is pushing this single more than anything else right now and not giving credit to Chase + Status or dubstep for that matter. By exploiting the genre I do mean exploiting it to the fullest.. thats whats happening here. Any music that goes mainstream immediatly starts sucking. Remember what rap music used to be like?

lol @ snoop 'exploiting' dubstep

oh noes one of the world's top selling artists is cashing in on a fringe UK rave genre!! snoop's finally figured out where the real money is at.

i wouldn't worry yourself about c & s not getting credit, i'm sure their bank account has seen credit a'plenty from this collab.

yeah, i remember back in '85 when hip hop was real... then they put that Beastie Boys song on the radio and it's all been shite since that day.

stay tuned, i'll be right back once i find some more dumb, mis-informed remarks to comment on...

[Wood]

all that said tho - this song is not a great moment, for Snoop or for Chase & Status. both are capable of much better, it's a shame they didn't put a bit more effort behind this collab.

[dabbler]

since when did C&S sell out, or leave DnB for that matter?! signing to Ram is selling out now?

[Wood]

anybody heard Pharell's take at dubstep?



snoop dogg millionaire doesn't sound quite so bad now, does it?

[-evil-duerr-]

snoop ruined dubstep? that's almost like saying blondie ruined hiphop with "rapture". don't be silly.

i hardly believe this track is going to have much effect on the dubstep scene, it's a forgettable stinker of a song and there's just too much GOOD dubstep still being produced for anyone to take notice of one bad tune.

[KrisisID]

the comments on youtube always give me a laugh.

[b0ld]

The whole "eastern jam" and snoop dog spitting vocals over it is absolute lulz. How a bassline used in something like eastern jam and incorporated into hip hop is rather odd. I see no relation to it at all. A west coast rapper putting lyrics over a track known as "eastern jam".. hrm... ironic ain't it?.

Chase & Status sold out... I guess its kind of awkward for the dnb community to comment on this recent flap. Another example of pure greed.

Its funny though how Plastician was bigging up this track at the very beginning on dsf. However his decision changed after everyone started grilling this track.

[ontherun]

Ha that Pharell track equally sucks

Ya I eat my words about C&S not getting credit. But yeah this is just the tip of the ice berg I think and they're doing a really poor job... i mean there's lots of good sounding hip-hop dubstep rmx's out there.

since when did C&S sell out, or leave DnB for that matter?! signing to Ram is selling out now?

since this..

i'm sure their bank account has seen credit a'plenty from this collab

Ya i mean they only do what 2 dubstep tracks, and they sell one to snoop.. blah.

i hardly believe this track is going to have much effect on the dubstep scene, it's a forgettable stinker of a song and there's just too much GOOD dubstep still being produced for anyone to take notice of one bad tune

Hey I hope ur right

And ya Bassnectar's dubstep also sucks.. water'd down smashing pumpkins soundin trash. I did not stick around for his set after Skreams at Shambhala. C'mon now

[Revolver]

ZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzz heehehe

its just a waterd down mainstream nod to the newest,most interesting, and most exciting electronic genre out there atm.

its fine. it was inevitable something like this would happen.

the real know whats real.

anyway, dubstep to 2009, is what drum and bass was to 1999 plain and simple.

It's a amazing scene and Vancouver,along with SF, are pretty much THE brightest beacons for this movement in North America.

I wasn't to big on eastern jam to begin with. The snoop version makes my fucking skin crawl.

[michael_red]

if anyone's ruining dubstep is the sea of people ranting and theorizing about what and who's the latest thing ruining dubstep. not to mention the mass of immitators out there making boring music, and the dj's and fans bigging up mediocrity.

the snoop dog tune is terrible. just like a bunch of other music in the genre is terrible. click away, delete, ignore, move on as you regularily would.

[-evil-duerr-]

"this place is a disaster!"

hamper cat ruined those dubsteps!

[Van Tek]

I hate to be "that guy" but I don't think Snoop Dogg ruined dubstep, I think the horrendous amount of boring crappy dubstep ruined dubstep... I keep listening to tracks people recommend and every time it's just plain old boring... It's just too slow... it sounds good for a breakdown in the middle of a breaks track or dnb track, but a whole track of it just feels like a breakdown that never goes off... And for those who're gonna point out that "140bpm isn't slow!" I'd like to state for the record that programming something in double-tempo to get more interesting variations on the beats doesn't mean the track itself is that tempo... 70 * 2 = 140 ... which means dubstep, being slower beat oriented, is actually 70bpm

[dj_soo]

^ you really need to hear it on a big system with a good crowd. recommend a dubforms sometime...

[ebbomega]

If your main complaint is dubstep is too slow you probably haven't realized that it's supposed to be danced to at double time.

I agree with soo. Go to dubforms and just watch the crowd for a bit. It gets nutty.

[michael_red]

or come out to Skream @ Richard's On Richard's on June 20. garunteed nutty.

i buy whoever a drink if i play a boring dubstep tune. heh heh. there is gold out there. ya just gotta know where to look.

here's some of what i'm liking these days:
joker & gins "purple city" or joker "80's", most joker stuff actually
any various productions
mussck
16-bit ("twice" or "toxic" remix), "pcp" and some other new stuff
LD "traumatic times"
indigo & synkro "could this be"
flying lotus "Glendale Galleria"
eskmo "hypercolor e.p."
a bunch of exciting unreleased stuff from DJG and XI, maybe on their myspace's or soundcloud?
hxdb "new sense" i think will be a vancouver "classic" for me too.

[michael_red]

also really digging some of kromestar's "my sound" album.

it took a few listen's. you gotta sink into it, have patience and not be in a rush. kinda what the good aspects (foundations) of dubstep promote. actually thinking, and not thinking (just feeling and experincing..)
