Sharmaji would probably argue that it is aggro... and I suppose he wouldn't be wrong (tho it's not a brostep-style aggro).
Plus, I am of the opinion that if one is gonna be aggro... be the aggro-est.
It also has an amazing video:
yr right, that's pretty fly. plus i'm always into abercromie-lookin girls with uzi's. ALWAYS.
not something i personally would want to hear in a dance setting but it'd fit well alongside aaron spectre/breakcore stuff.

my crew has been making a lot of crossover shit like this, sort of a nice blend between hiphop and dubstep.
hell ill go anywhere from 65 to 180, but i also think up pattern and fit the bpm to it, not the other way around. the last one i posted on myspace was 72 bmp

I don't think BPM is important, it's all about the movement and forward momentum in a tune due to it's composition - swing, hats, kicks etc. Two tunes can feel at a completely different pace but be at exactly the same bpm.

I'm definitely feeling the slower 110bbpm sound, like this:
electro basslines at 150 make for some jump up dance floor pant nutters

I've been making jungle around 150, but then I don't like much jungle faster than 165. bpm doesn't really define genre, and you can make tunes at whatever bpm you please. comes down to whether you want other people to be able to mix your tunes or not. when i first started making dubstep i was writing at 135bpm, but all the djs playing those tunes were pitching them up and sounded way faster than intended.
