If your skills go as far as shuffling about behind the DJ saying "Yeah" and bigging yourself up until you can come up with a rhyme then you shouldn't be allowed near a microphone.
Agreed. But having said that there are quite a few bits here and there I really like.
Agree with Grandle about dubstep getting worse.
The amount of pullups at dubstep raves (especially fwd) is stupid and kills the dance.
Mindless wobbles are not good
Dyslexia is a big con and is tough on everyone else who fairly sits exams without extra time

I think it's also down to the amount of releases at the moment as well, not that dubstep is getting worse just that whereas a year and a half ago every release pretty much was one I wanted, now you just gotta do some sorting from the maybe's to the definite's. Dunno, it's been a long day and I can feel some non-sensical rambling coming...

More releases > Less releases

GET SOME OF YOU OWN OPINIONS.
Most of the tunes getting a release atm are in no way as good as the stuff that was coming out a year and a half ago
++++++ I'd have to agree with most of what Shonky says. + STANTON .

Yes, but most things with 1000bhp are ugly.
That's the way things are.
I was behind one several weeks back and amused to note the prick had a light out at the back.
Maintenance is everything, peeps.

Yes, but what i was trying to get at, and failing obviously.
More releases, with a number i might not be feeling > Less releases, but i feel them all.
I dunno, maybe im just used to 90% of Hip Hop being shit, and i've accepted it.
Too late to change my stance?

Dyspraxia is a bitch, doesn't really effect me any more except it takes me about twice as long to write anything as it does other people. What is a bit shit is that it costs so much to be tested for it, meaning that some people who actually need the extra time, but don't have the money, don't get it.
On the unpopular opinions front, most 4x4 music sounds flat and boring, i don't like how a huge chunk of electronic music can get away with using the same drumbeat in every single tune. Don't get how people can dance to such a flat rhythm.
I also like some of today's indie music

WHAT!!!!!!!
Perhaps you need to listen again.
House music, only a small section of the 4x4 genre you have disregarded in one sentence, has offered a very wide and wonderful variety of music for the last 20 years or more.
And without which, DUBSTEP would be unlikely to exist at all !!!!!!
Dread tha thought...
Perhaps it ain't your ting, but it's not the same drumbeat!!
Drum programming for house, garage and the like is VERY complex and is a great skill only mastered by a few..
It's a lot deeper than you think

I've long given up on trying to tell the Americans how the english language works. It's a futile struggle.

i know how the english language works
if a word ends with an "A" you pronounce "R"
if there is an H in a word, you pretend its not there
and you say stuff like "chap" and "bloke" a whole bunch
