Seriously? This thread again?

[dj $hy]

Hmmmm.....

Really, the only thing AmeRicanS invented is terrorism??

Don't forget the internet which allowed you to post your BS, electricity, the light bulb, the telephone & the automobile to name a few.
As far as funding the IRA....... Brits don't belong in Ireland anyway.

The only thing Ameican invented was terroism by funding the IRA and giving weapons to the taliban.

Now I love my US family 100% but dude really?! Might wanna check them facts before sounding silly.... A little history lesson below

Telephone - Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds, daughter of a surgeon in the Royal Navy

Electricity - English scientist William Gilbert in 1600 described the electrification of many substances and coined the term electricity from the Greek word for amber. As a result, Gilbert is called the father of modern electricity

Light bulb - The 1st light bulb was built by Humphry Davy (an Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison improved the invention and based his improvements on a patent he purchased from inventors Henry Woodward & Matthew Evans who patented their bulb in 1875.

Automobile - (Now this is a funny one and seeing as even your president doesnt know I cant hate the rest of the country for thinking the same...Sadly for you though its not true...)

Quote from an Obama Speech
"And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it."

Maybe he was referring to Germany. Because according to the Library of Congress, that's where the inventor of the automobile lived.

"Exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. If we had to give credit to one inventor, it would probably be Karl Benz from Germany. Many suggest that he created the first true automobile in 1885/1886."

Regarding the IRA - Yes England shouldnt be there, I'll give you that...

...and best not get onto that IRA talk, but I doubt many people in N Ireland consider themselves English- all a bit more complex than that!

[wizeguy]

thats just like saying all americans came from UK so in fact even if U.S had started dubstep (which they didn't) it would still be uk, or maybe you could say everything started in africa so its african...

[AxeD]

Noticed this thread is way old.... but is he confusing Electronic music with Techno in the first part?

[deluxe]

though he's rambling a lot of bullshit here, hes partially right in a sense.

timbaland and the dirty south crunk movement was making futuristic half step beats way before loefah decided to implement that into dubstep.

if you don't agree please explain:







of course the UK put their own twist to it with more advanced, and even further futuristic sounds and amazing basslines but the hip hop influence is literally undeniable.

If any of these tracks were to be dropped today (obviously with a little tweaking) it would be considered straight up dubstep.

I can't be bothered this time, I'll join in when the thread gets started again in 2011 eh?

[shlazzer]

hip hop itself is pretty terrible l0l

shame on any dubhead that DOESNT acknowledge dubstep's D&b roots (LONDON)

I realise this is an old thread and also a pretty stupid debate (haven't bothered reading most of the thread for that reason) but just thought I may as well throw my opinion in here.

At the end of the day, as much as I think that Crunk Tesla bloke is a massive jeb end, there's no denying that in some way dubstep has taken some influence from hip-hop, but then its also taken influence from shit loads of forms of music the same way hip-hop has, so to argue over the exact origins and the exact influences of a certain genre is just silly as there is no ONE influence and ONE origin and ONE specific way it came about. To some degree everything has taken influence from everything else, whether that be directly or indirectly. Everything you have ever done, seen, heard, experienced has influenced you in some shape or form, so I think the people who deny any UK influence over hip-hop or crunk are just as bad as those who deny any US influence over dubstep - at the end of the day it all comes full-cycle.

I think another major thing that guy seems to forget is that dubstep isn't just simply a genre of music - it started as a culture, a movement - a collective of people in a certain area who were all making music in a similar style with a similar vibe, which just ended up being called dubstep.
