Didn't see that post.. definitely a bit of a ridiculous statement.

Duppy is a wikid tune . . . big up all the 4x4 bangers.

i think its dope, but i hope its kept to a minimum. techno was my thing before dubstep took me so it definitely strikes hard. left leg out hits deep to me. dubstep needs a step in my mind, but a short change up is super catchy.

Actually, he's right. The powers that be in dubstep have decided to put upon this forum the responsibilities for deciding what is and isn't dubstep. All the stuff that "is" is being put in a large shrine for us to admire, the rest is being dumped in the sea, or burned.

You guys must have missed that meeting right?

anyone who thinks that this forum affects the music and not vice versa is deluding themselves on some power trip flex.

the music we discuss here was around in some shape or form long before thos forum and would still be here regardless. get off your high horses and show some respect

Digital Mystikz - Awake [on the Grime 2 compilation from Rephlex] is also 4x4 (and one of my favorite tunes). It's the track I play to relate the music to my friends that love house.

its not quite 4/4 i dont think?

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:21 pm**

duppy is sick as fuck... b i g tune for time... (except the vocal version...

)

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:35 pm**

yeah, im not a fan of many grime vocals on record . . . its mad cos grime n dubstep have restored my faith in 4x4 . . . smelly.

d'ya read the pitchfork thing about grime vocals? So on point: MCs are more likely to get a reload for something load and angry "aaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh.... crack your skull!!!" etc... then they are for decent lyrics.

I was REALLY REALLY disappointed with the vocal of duppy. Skepta is, for me, hands down the best MC in grime right now ("draw for the ting in the tescos bag, make yr white t-shirt look like a japanese flag" lol). Probably by a long way. So its a shame that he got all his mates to be on it rather than shower it himself... saying that, wiley's verse is nice...

shame about the duppy vocal innit !!! its just that fucking hook

well . . . I like dem ones, on record grime sounds dead out the box, I agree that u cant go clash or pure 16s all day long & all the gunman lyrics do get long (but u wont see me tryn argue that point wif skepta like)

. . . the challenge imo is fr mcs t translate that pure energy of radio n rave into somthing which isnt purely a violence thing . . . from the footage I've seen eskimo dance looks a lot like a hardcore circle pitt, with pastichd violence replaced wif the threat of real & actual violence . . . there needs t be some sort of midddle ground tho . . .

spectr: "motion" (hf 001) has a 4x4 beat as well (& it's a f****ing bad ass tune...)

i don't want to get into that history lesson thing about how dubstep is linked w/ house/garage - please consult prof. reynolds or dr. clark in this matter...

don't get me wrong, i love those bars too. And yr right, the clashes have so much energy partially because of em. I guess the point is how far the scene can go if the major tunes are full of gunman lyrics...
