Dubstep x Hip Hop

hookup · Post by **hookup** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 5:06 pm

I think the whole crunk x dubstep idea was a bit tounge in cheek. If your keen enough to know where to hear some dubstep out one night and the DJ decides to tease in some Lil John its gonna be more of a laugh then anything else.

Yes crunk music these days is formulaic but combining it with dubstep does not ruin the sound imho. It is simply another example of blending genres to bring a heightened level of energy and attract new headz who would not have realized what sick beats dubstep has buried within the genre itself.

I agree.

Like Houston chopped'n'screwed hip hop, in fact - which Parson's already doing great stuff with on e.g. Throw Some Ds.

Loads of Hyphy hip hop from Bay Area is double time - 120bpm+ so if you're into mixing it up that can easily go in there - as can Booty Bass / Ghettotek / Juke / Jit dance music which are all around 140bpm....

My first attempts at dubstep have been inspired by hip hop loops... here's some very short samples - all comments welcome

- this one is based on a snippet from a DJ Screw mixtape

- this one's a Dead Prez vocal

I've found that "Request Line" works REALLY good with Three Six Mafia's "Stay Fly" acapella...def. got a good response from it last weekend.

In a perfect world of unbridled creativity and licensing, which dubstep artists would you like to see collobarate with which hip hop artists? I'd like to see:

Digital Mystikz x Wu-Tang (specifically Ghostface or RZA)

Kode9 x Vordul Mega of Cannibal OX

Scuba x Nas

just a few off the top of my head...Let's what everybody thinks!

i guess u aint heard of dirtystep my friend
