Nah, it was down to a guy based in Los Angeles who attended the Smog shows amongst some other things, he hooked up with me and we got the ball rolling.

He works closely with Snoop's management and played him some dubstep tunes.
mate, now you'll either get adored or get killed, i doubt there's a middle way for you
I know this I've been on web forums long enough to know that there's always been a large group of people who are totally against dubstep gaining popularity and allowing artists to play to large crowds, earning a respectable living for their hard work and efforts and gaining the opportunity to work with artists they grew up listening to but personally I don't understand it.

If I didn't help make this happen, somebody else would have anyway. Dubstep's gone global, its the freshest most innovative and almost borderless sound we've seen come through in decades so it was only a matter of time we saw some collaborations of this magnitude. It couldn't be stopped and to be honest I'm proud to have been a part of helping it come through from the beginning.

Dubstep has so many styles anyway. When night hit the charts we didn't see a wave of established producers in the scene trying to copycat it. Everyone was just pleased for it and continued to work at whatever it was they were doing at the time. The way I see it, if people are that passionate and have enough belief in whatever it is they are doing, they won't be effected by factors around them - this is something which I feel is pretty true of dubstep and the general community feel of the whole genre means everyone is pretty much left to get on with whatever their take on the sound may be.

Thats why we got Burial, Kode 9, Shackleton, Skream, Benga, Martyn, Joker, Mala, Coki and Pinch all working under the same umbrella at peace with eachother.

I'm sure some people will disapprove but I don't understand it personally. For me its another exciting chapter for dubstep, another interesting take on the sound that don't stop giving!
i fully agree man, just one detail has to be well considered: when massive amounts of popularity and cash come into a scene, the transformations are pretty radical. many are not prepared for these, their problem. but sometimes these transformation can conflict with the original spirit of that scene.
if it's all done carefully and marketed the proper way, this won't happen and i will carry your luggage whenever you come to my city!

and yet, time and time again, in every scene, there is a cashing in, so to speak, on a commercial level, while a thriving underground scene runs concurrent.

nothing new under the sun.

don't freak out.

i must admit i'm really excited about this. putting someone's name in dubstep with the notoriety of snoop dogg can only do good things, if only for the pocketbooks of top DJs

commercialization happens with all music and with life. i think this is no different. i do think that the extra demand for dubstep that will surely come from snoop associating himself with the genre is going to benefit the scene. what i hope is that it doesn't take away from how wonderful it is at the moment, with people posting top tunes on forums like this for free, engaging in discussions such as the present one, and generally being excellent people both in front of the decks and on the dancefloor.

Really looking forward to seeing if this one song can really make dubstep gain popularity. Can't wait.

I wouldn't mind hearing Snoop on a big rig with some heavy bass underneath it. Dr. Dre could DJ... dude is an ill DJ.

Snoop Dogg is a very good fit for this track, not that surprised though, he has a voice that fits with dubstep.

I have to agree with Spooks about this all being very weird however. Nevertheless, this is a very cool situation, both because the song is great, and because it goes to show you how far dubstep has reached. Dubstep could get really interesting if more rappers decide to rap over dubstep beats.
