If it gets top 5 will he give away the instrumental finally?

Seriously, find me one breathing soul that likes the vocal version. That's what I thought.

Agreed, it deserves a little chart action. I think it's pretty awesome stuff like this actualy makes it on the charts over there!

As for the OP I reckon, as someone pointed out before me, that all the clocks in the world will freeze, as time will have stopped. The apacolype will begin

People who are already frothing at the mouth about how "it's ruining dubstep" / "it's crossed-over, the end is nigh" / etc will froth even harder, and will give themselves a migraine, or an embolism

People who think it can't possibly be called dubstep because it has no chainsaw waveform anywhere in sight will continue to slate it - ensconced in their ignorance, as they are doing so.

People who enjoy it, who are fair-minded and appreciative of the scene will say "fair play, well deserved - at least it's someone from the early scene like Benga making it big and bringing dubstep to the masses, and not some no-mark studio producer making a dubstep-by-numbers beat from a sample pack for a piece of shit artist like Miley Cyrus or the fucking Saturdays."

People who have been into the music for some time will have a hard time 'letting the music go' - it was something a (fairly large actually) niche of people liked and they feel precious about it and see it crossing over as it's death knell.

They seem to forget that the core good producers will still make music the way they always have, that dancefloor and heavy sound system will always trump tinny car speakers.

Good dubstep will sell, bad dubstep will tank. Majors will bring in a dubstep act that hasn't spent years grafting undergound, that act will fail, the major will lose several thousand pounds and back the fuck away. Independent artists will find themselves in demand as a result.

People who have never heard of dubstep before will like what they hear, check iTunes for Benga (first) then branch out from there.

They will come to your dubstep raves. They will pay money on the door, buy drinks at the bar, dance to the music, smoke a joint, drop a pill or some mdma and enjoy themselves. You will walk past them, dance next to them, and you'll never know any different.

They'll get more into the music, like some niches and hate others. Buy some albums, slate others.

They'll find their way onto dubstepforum, and by the time the next big dubstep crossover hit comes around they'll be veterans frothing at the mouth about how dubstep is being ruined and the end is nigh

Repeat ad nauseum

this has grown on me recently, i must admit :) it's just funny how you hear old heads saying dubstep (i'm talking very early 00's) was formed out of the need to get away from the cheesiness of the rnb influenced commercial 2-step garage. yet here, it seems it's gone back to the beginning just to get some commercial success..

thats not what i was getting at. as i said i rate the tune and hope it goes well, wasnt insinuating anything else. just wanted to think what other peoples thoughts were. no need to be sarcastic about it... :roll:
