I've never heard either on the radio once. benassi is by no means pop and i'd had never even heard of the original hey sexy lady if it weren't for the remix.
Benassi didn't used to be pop, but he is definitely moving into pop territory.

Cinema might not be played on the radio, but it's still a pop song. Same with hey sexy lady. In a way, it actually helps me make my point. I'm not trying to directly copy them, but I want to take it to the next step. Right now, the poppiest form of dubstep is skrillex, but I want to be MORE poppy than him. But it still needs to be based on the roots of dubstep.
I'm sure the early days of hip hop felt similar to the way you do right now. Hip hop is the antithesis of pop music. If I may quote the streets, "Hip hop started because the government didn't give a fuck about the streets", but it has now evolved into the pop arena. I'm sure nobody saw that coming 20 years ago when NWA, Tupac, and public enemy were becoming popular. But that is just how music works. It evolves. You might not see it now, hell I can't even see it, that's why I'm trying to mess around with the idea, so I can be one of the first to do it.
skrillex is poppy? what? he may be popular but it is not pop music at all, I don't care if he was remixing backstreet boys as long as he did what he does it wouldn't be pop.
anyway I'm not sure what point I'm even trying to make anymore. if you want to remix pop songs and turn them into dubstep that's great. I love a good remix as long as it really is dubstep. like, that britney and flo rida shit is shit. here's my advice - if you want to do something with pop and dubstep, make it true dubstep with pop vocals. true pop songs are just fads. you could say the same about dubstep but I think it's different. do you remember what pop songs were big around this time last year? nah neither do I. but I remember every dubstep song I was listening to this time last year, and some of them are remixes of pop music, but they're still dubstep. We're still talking about skrillex songs right now that he released nearly a year ago. What i'm picturing you wanting to try to do is shit like the britney song where its all poppy and has some dubstep breakdowns and what not. If you really want to do something with this, I think stick to going for real quality dubstep with pop vocals would be your best bet.
anywho have a good saturday erbody
