"It's an illusion," says Skrillex, tetchily, in response to the general criticism. "You can get 200 people bitching about me in a chat room or you can get 100,000 people dancing to every single drop I play. All ego aside, that's just the truth, you know what I mean?
"They can go bicker and waste their lives... You know what I mean? Good for them. Be purists."
awwwwwwwwwww shit, here it comes. "I know best because what I like is better than what you like..".

Despite being described as dubstep, the music is a combustion of spleen-shattering bass, crunching techno beats, heightened house synths and twisted vocal samples, all delivered with the belligerence of a metal band.

I mean, Skreams makes tear out screechy wob wob lfo tunes from time to time. You doubt the fact that he likes artist who make similar sounds?
Fuck.
i dont think anyone has questioned whether they like it dude, im absolutely positive that they do since it's 90% of what they play nowadays. but that definitely doesn't make it good music just because they enjoy it. im not saying that it's all fundamentally bad because im certainly no expert but you cant just say that those tunes are good because they get played by benga & skream
I never said they were good tunes, I dont listen to nor care for them. It's just really irritating when people like "WTF BENGA AND BORGORE HAD A CHAT ON TWITTER AND DEN SKREAM DROPPED DOCTOR P TETRIS, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!? " . Some people on this forum are always too quick to forget that Benga and Skream might be a little more open minded than them.
i made that topic, and i mean, bolded why i made that topic, i barely heard any of skream/benga, i knew what i was going to see, i was just surprised it was as full on as it was, haha, and yeah, for the record, seeing the 2 vibe off eachother is always special, no matter what they are playing.

what happened to hip hop thats just good... it doesn't have to try to be intellectual political hipster backpack college rap ... and it also doesn't need to be a dude with dreads drooling on a microphone (plus adlibs).
Err, intellectual political hip hop has been around explicitly since at least Public Enemy. I agree though, thinking's overrated. Guns, bitches, bling and getting crunk in the club is what hip hop has always been about.
Not true. Originally, at least from the MC's perspective. Hip hop was about a DJ finding the best MC so they could hype up the DJ better, and that's where the hiphop mc comes from.
Wasn't it fairly obvious that I was being sarcastic?
Not really. There's plenty of people with that mindset. But either way, touche.
Lol I certainly thought saying 'thinking's overrated' might be a give away either way big ups on your intentions, you're right there are too many people with that mindset.

Look I'm really not trying to be white knighting for Waka over here but if we're going to start labeling stuff as 'crap hip hop' let's at least make sure that it is indeed complete shit.

^Well considering it's marketed that way here in the states, ipso facto...
Not saying I agree with the label but we should be way more up in arms about this kind of shit instead of bass heavy trap beats.
