its hard to find words to describe how dreadful that tune is,so here goes.
I love hip hop and I love dubstep
this is the worst of both worlds.
when the two collide it should be fresh as but this is just moldy and smelly but not ina good way.

haha yeah i agree tbh, i think this could really start to make the scene fragment. For me that isn't what dubstep is about at all.

God, this is the shit that is going to KEEP killing this scene. If It would have been a tight track, I might have felt a little different, but that was just straight retarded. I think both Snoop and Chase & Status loose points for that one...OUCH....

i don't think people realize how hard it is and the politics involved in getting someone like snoop to even hear a beat from producers like chase and status let alone mixtape it. that alone is a huge amount of hustling, so hat's off to whomever worked that all out behind the scenes. people like snoop have a team of people that you have to go through before you even get near his camp.

apart from that, i still think riko over eastern jam is the best fit for this beat that i've heard so far.

what is certain is that summer 2009, is going to be interesting.

jeez lol @ people freaking out about their precious "scene" being ruined haha

adapt. evolve. like what you like. dislike what you dislike and carry the fuck on... change your diapers.

this is huge regardless of how good the tune is. big up chase n status, and everyone getting what they deserve and have worked so hard for!

Most true statement so far, it's gonna be pretty crazy. I can't imagine hearing dubstep on the radio over here in Cali.

Makes you wonder though however who now owns the exclusive rights towards "Eastern Jam".

i appreciate the gravity of the collabo and how significant it is for dubstep as a genre but i have to echo this:

EASTERN JAM? really?!? song was shite to begin with. i'll take snoop over a jakes/joker/gemmy/guido/plastician beat any day over this crap.

the counterpoint of course is that this opens the flood gates for other MCs to flow over dubstep tunes and then possibilities are endless. what i hope is that the fact that eastern jam was the first dubstep song chosen for such a collab doesn't influence the style of other tunes that are used by hiphop MCs.

That would never happen. Dubstep is not going to take over the hip hop scene. We're merely working on a project to see how it sounds

Werd up! good track, thought he was gonna flow to a new beat. Anyway, big up everybody involved, let there be more styles like this and let the bass hit em.

Check out another banger for your dubstep/hip hop mix from our 1st release:

this x100000

even getting your mix/productions past the low rung folks is a fucking task and a half.

and to all the haters:
did all of the dnb/hip-hop collabs kill dnb?
no.

big ups to all that are pushing this sound, no matter what venue.

also, needs moar keak da sneak.

Snoop's always been into a lot of music. I'm not buying that someone had to hustle to get Snoop to give dubstep a chance, esp. not after seeing any interview w/Snoop over the years, talking about music. He likes a wide range of soul/funk/whatever, has always been very vocal about this, too. Dude keeps his ear to things, probably heard some dubstep somewhere and wanted to investigate more on his own(why would his mgmt think it would be profitable, obv. it's not).

Snoop's top 25 on BET was the best selection of songs BET has played probably in 20 years...dude's got taste

in all honesty i can't see there being any kind of large scale takeover of dubstep by rappers

at worst i think it'll be akin to the godawful TEKDBZ drum & bass that Photek turned to. anyone with any musical sense ignores that stuff, if hip hop dubstep takes the same style i imagine the same will happen here

I dunno...considering the beat structure of Crunk and Dubstep are very similar, it's almost a natural evolution of the two sounds...would be kind of cool if they merged and formed voltr....err, a new musical style all to it's own.

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!

For writting that your even more of a legend than i thought,dont matter what subject with regards too dubstep growing,evolving and changing,that its applied too,its the truth IMO.........

darknes · Post by **darknes** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 5:00 pm

things change, sounds evolve, this is one of the many, many strains of dubstep propagating themselves at the moment.

relevant criticisms include discussion of the song itself, lyrical content, production, etc. the idea that YOU, dubstepforum poster guy, are defending THE SCENE while plastician, chase and status, and snoop dogg are ruining YOUR scene is a bit self-centered, no?

big ups all those involved, looking forward to seeing where this goes. everyone else stop whining and get grinding!
