honestly heny's and quest's responses surprise me a bit.. I reckon you probably haven't read the whole thread cause otherwise your reaction might would have been a different one.

If this thread shows one thing, then it is the huge amount of respect and praise that people have for skream..
Maybe 5% of the responses are negative ones.. as someone correctly stated if you release tunes you might just have to cope with the fact that not everyone likes them, I really can't see how that can be a problem.

I think you should really grow a thicker skin, not everyone is always gonna have praise for what you do.. so what? you know about the quality of your music and many other people acknowledge that, that should be enough.
However opinions should be allowed. End off. It's called dubstepFORUM after all...

I hear what ur saying bruv, but like quest said b4,music is very personal 2 us, we aint hear for money or anything else first and foremost. Imagine i went on a reggae forum, and i was a total nobody,now remeber, people that listen to any form ov reggea, they are rightous people, u think they would stand for any1 saying or asking for da matter is Bob Marly & The Wailers genius or over rated???That would be total madness the scene if they heard that, not even a tv program taking the piss would ever get away wid that.Its a respect thing at the end of the day, it wasnt easy for none of us in the scene to get to where any of us is now, infact, its still fucking hard.

Im sure when ollie saw this, it burnt him, to know how hard he has worked over da last 7 years from such a young age, coz u know what, it burnt me, coz ive been there from day right der with him.

Like the saying in Cool Runnings

''I see pride, i see power, i see a bad ass moda, who dont take, no shit of ov nobody''

Thats what it is out ere, us dj's and producer in the scene have hearts, and we care, we have emotions, so dont get offened if u see an artist expressing themselves you wouldnt expect them to do, coz at the end of the day, we are being as 'REAL' as we can be.

There's alot of fakes in this scene,but the respect they get is incredible

bun dat.

The End.

p.s I dont wanna seem rude on here, im a cool guy, i just have to say what i feel,i mean well @ da end of da day, and i stick up for my musical brothers when needed.

This is an idiotic thread.

Dead Rats · Post by **Dead Rats** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 2:03 pm

The thread title is a bit bad, as it forces you to accept either one extreme or the other, but man...I haven't seen hardly any negative replies in this thread, but what I have seen are people basically getting a raging hard-on about absolutely nothing.

I wouldn't judge someone being called over-rated or a "genius" based on their hard work and contribution to music, but the quality of it. You could break into Buckingham Palace, take a dump on the Queens chest and then tattoo "Dubstep" onto her bare forehead, and you can be damn sure that you're going to be getting the genre well more known, but it wouldn't make you a 'genius'. As for "u dnt know what we producers give up!" bit - Yeah, I probably don't as I'm not, unfortunately, one myself, but I still think that people have the right to state whether they don't dig your stuff or not, in a relatively polite way. Who knows, it might even be constructive criticism.

The thread title should be changed to "What do you think of Skream's tunes?" to which, I imagine, you would get alot more decent replies.

I likes some of his stuff, and some stuff I don't. My fav's are;

*Dutch Flowers
*Pass the Red Stripe
*0800 Dub
*That fucking unknown song that I keep hearing in the mixes that I'm still waiting for a name for.

Skream is a pure genius hands down. When was the last time that you heard a producer at the age that he was start developing a sound... a movement... a community by using elements of various genre's and put it together. Something that started as a bedroom production only to become a dominating genre.

He's brilliant plain and simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise should retract on really where they think they are by being part of a dubstep community.

Respect Your Elders.

Normally don't post on these threads but just had to say: Thank fuck for Quest's reply. Seems like Skream gets randomly bashed or have his credentials questioned on here every other week or so these days. Never spoken to him before but he always just seems to enjoy playing/making music and having a awesome time while doing it (and giving other people an awesome time at the same time), so why not just let him be?
