I don’t think it’s really too big here in the states yet, but is this style big overseas or still underground?
toot has the skinny.
i am a big fan of dub anything.
all you need is scorn’s “stealth” or meat beat manifesto’s “autoimmune” . that blows the weak stuff like burial out the water.
It’s “underground” but it’s massive here in the UK. Dubstepforum has already had over a million posts and the amount of top quality DJ’s and Producers are insane. Usually they’re in their early 20’s and are already legendary studio/live veterans.
I can’t listen to any Industrial as the records just sound so lackluster and dull compared to the tons of fresh devasting Dubstep sounds coming out constantly.
Here’s a small example of some killer Dubstep cuts…play LOUD!
Goth Trad “Far East Assassin” (fucking insane!!!)

Benga “26 Basslines”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4D-hCO8Y2k
Distance “Traffic”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ogiD5r1gk
Unknown Vs Jacob Miller “Baby I Love You So” (awesome Dubstep remix of the classic Miller/King Tubby/Augustus Pablo cut)

Skream “Oskilatah” (pretty sure that title is incorrect spelling?)

The beauty of Dubstep is it can use any number of influences and has so many faces…from the lush beauty of Boxcutter & Burial to the insanely heavyness of Bug & Goth Trad.
And don’t forget the new crazy ass and very charming music coming out of Finland called “Skweee”. That is some funny and funky shit. Another close relative to Skweee & Dubstep (kind of) is German 8 Bit Dub by guys like Disrupt & Bo Marley…labels for that stuff is www.jahtari.com…If you want Skweee the top labels are Flogsta Danshall & Harmönia. As for Dubstep…there are shitloads of great labels.
sigh.
when the revolution comes…
don’t have time to inspect the ANYTHING at this point.i miss the bim sherman. sigh.
thank you, maggitooth, for the edumacation…
sigh.
when the revolution comes…
Good call!!
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Not happen between these thighs
Not happen between these thighs
The real revolution ain’t about booty size
The Versaces you buys, or the Lexus you drives
And though we’ve lost Biggie Smalls
Baby your notorious revolution
Will never allow you to lace no lyrical douche, in my bush
Your revolution will not be killing me softly, with Fugees
Your revolution ain’t gonna knock me up without no ring
And produce little future emcees
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not find me in the backseat of a jeep
With LL, hard as hell, you know doin it and doin it and doin it well
doin it and doin it and doin it well, nah come on now
Your revolution will not be you smacking it up, flipping it, or rubbing it down
Nor will it take you downtown or humpin around
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not have me singing, ain’t no nigga like the one I got
And your revolution will not be sending me for no drip, drip VD shot
And your revolution will not involve me, feelin your nature rise
Or helping you fantasize
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
No no, not between these thighs
Oh, my Jamican brother, your revolution will not make you feel bombastic
And really fantastic
And have you groping in the dark for that rubber wrapped in plastic
You will not be touching your lips to my triple dip of french vanilla,
butter pecan, chocolate delux
Or having Akinyele’s dream, m-hmm a 6-foot blowjob machine m-hmm
You want to subjugate your queen? uh-huh
Think I’m a put it in my mouth, just cuz you made a few bucks?
Please brother please
Your revolution will not be me tossing my weave
And making me believe I’m some caviar-eating ghetto mafia clown
Or me giving up my behind, just so I can get signed
And maybe having somebody else write my rhymes
I’m Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown
You know I’m Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown
Your revolution makes me wonder, where could we go
If we could drop the empty pursuit of props and ego
We’d revolt back to our Roots, use a little Common Sense
On a quest to make love De La Soul, no pretense
But your revolution will not be you flexing your little sex and status
To express what you feel
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Will not happen between these thighs
Will not be you shaking and me yawn faking
Between these thighs
Because the real revolution, that’s right I said the real revolution
You know I’m talking about the revolution
When it comes, it’s gonna be real
It’s gonna be real
It’s gonna be real
When it finally comes
When it finally comes
It’s gonna be real, yeah yeah
well now.
you know as well as i , that the last poets taught everyone current what they know.
let that nigger run…(i used to have the last poets vinyl with tremendous black power fashion and i think i gave it to somebody and never got it back)

Honky’s are scared of revolution[cool]
