lol at the collabs being gay! is it straight if the mc usually spits on 130bpm+? or is from jamaica? jokes

i reckon it could be sick, it could be shit, it depends entirely on how its done, but i'd certainly like to hear it experimented with. need to link that mix alex sounds like a heavy idea, the tasty grits tune is sick... dinesh is behind that is he not?

How can you fit hiphop accapellas of 90bpm over a dubstep tune of 140bpm?
Here are 2 hiphoptracks in the mix, which fit in quiet well.

most crunk hiphop is somewhere between 70-80 which you can halftime under dubstep. OTher than that the usual 90-100 bpm hiphop you'll have to pitch shift and use key correction to keep vocals sounding normal - although sometimes the ultra low vocals sound tight.

Why?

Why you ask?

Dubstep for me is an original sound.

It just dont want it to become contaminated by the overly bad vibe hiphop and rap promotes.

I remember the beginning of the Rap era, back in the 80's, when it was about grabing you parents crappy disco records and making a beat mixin em over a tape player. That is talent and good times as well.

Now, its some idiot MC, promoting violence and degrading everything around him.

Do you really want that vibe mixing with this sound?

Please keepin mind, i dont not hate rap or hip hop. It just needs to stay in its own world. If these too worlds are ment to combine, let them combine on the production side and keep the rappers/mc's far away.

Keep the sound original and dont let it become overly commercialized.

^^ i completely agree.

What is being coined as "crunk" hip hop (lil jon, yin yang twins, all that shit), is music that completely lacks originality and skill.. Hip hop for me is somethat far different than the new age, commercialized shit music that i consider rap. Keep rap far away from dubstep, now a sick mc rhyming about the daily trials and tribulations of life, or anything really, as long as he uses some type of intellect (rather than bullshit words that are created rather than pulled from the vocabulary of the artist), is a different story.

i have no problem with seeing more mc'ing or hip hop mixed with dub step

just keep the fake bullshit of the rap scene out of dub step.
it will just attract the fake scene that jumped on the rap fad like flies on shit.

and this wasnt meant to offend anyone who likes rap, that is, if your not a 16 year old white girl living in massachussets or some shit, who is fed everything on a silver plate, but feels like she has to "nuck if she bucks"

Rofl.

just my 2 cents

Dubstep already crosses over so easily with Grime, most UK Hip hop is alot more positive, forget about Crunk or any of that shite, but some UK Hip Hop artists would sound sick over Dubstep. Already metioned Foreign Beggars, downtempo Roots Manuva, Terra Firma, Double D Dagger etc...
