I still dont know if I prefer tunes with lyrics or not....hmmmm! Some examples Skream's mix of In For The Kill wouldnt of been as famous or well known if he just made the instrumental. Sick As Sin or Face Gets Splat by Stagga are automatically more listenable because of the lyrics. But then consider tunes like Dutch Flowers by Skream or Go Go Gadget which would just be ruined with lyrics. Im still undecided

time and place for everything.

exactly

depends completely on the style of the tune and the style of the lyrics

if the styles are similar

then boo-ya

depends if you have a good mc or not.

Depends on the tune.

instrumentals are at the roots of this sound --> hence "dub" or b-side


but obviously the human voice is a musical instrument as well



dubstep tunes are better when they are done well, vocals or not

Lot of good raps get thrown around in grime tunes
totally different, but just sayin

I suppose if the instrumental is good enough why would you need vocals

RSD - bright pretty lights
smithy & mighty - bi line fi blow

I agree. The one exception imho:


The original is a classic. The vocal version somehow manages to be better.

well lots of reasons

producer - vocalist collabs are wonderful because the tunes become this middle ground between 2 people's musical vision


I would prefer to have both versions tho

sometimes I want words in my head .. sometimes words distract me

instrumentals let my thoughts roam, songs put the tune on my tongue

This is dubstep.

I generally prefer my dubstep with out vocals. When you put vocals in it changes everything because you have a person telling you what to think instead of you thinking for yourself. Don't get me started on shit MC's ruining a perfectly good tune.

I agree, Qawwali was born to be instrumental. Then again it dont help that the MC is shite
