2684897, Is "Bigger than Hip Hop" the origin of Dubstep? Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Apr-12-12 02:41 AM
I am at a club right now where they played this song right after a Dubstep set, and I never thought about it, but this song sounds like it damn near inspired the whole genre. I know Timbo (joked? And) said he invented Dubstep, and his old late 90's bouncy tracks do sound like they may have had some influence, but Dead Prez's track sounds even more like it.
Who knows, maybe I'm trippin

speed garage / breakbeat techno / old school jungle / etc all helped evolve garage / 2 step which gave the offspring of dubstep, just an opinion of course

2684950, No, it used to be called "jungle" Posted by DiP, Thu Apr-12-12 08:14 AM
and has been around since before that song

2685154, I remember Jungle, and it sounded a lot different to me Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Apr-12-12 02:36 PM
Seems like it could have evolved into Dubstep, but the elements were different from what I remember.

2685164, im by no means an expert in the sub genres of "electronic music" Posted by DiP, Thu Apr-12-12 02:55 PM
but to me dubstep sounded like a slowed down version of jungle. same heavy bass, but at times lower bpms
not sure why dubstep has been in the spotlight so much more than other similar genres

2684967, Nah Posted by cjr2221, Thu Apr-12-12 08:52 AM
I'd say it came from UK garage, and funky coalescing

2685159, you could make a case for the mainstream version but Posted by Nodima, Thu Apr-12-12 02:41 PM
the original styles of Kode9, The Bug and them are undeniably 2-step rooted and bear almost no resemblance to what the majority of folks call dubstep today.

2685162, that bassline and hi-hats on the 16th notes was more in line w/ crunk Posted by T Reynolds, Thu Apr-12-12 02:43 PM
shit
it WAS very different than most shit dropping at the same time
especially as a new york record
but I think that was the point
they were trying to get cats crunk for the revolution lol
so they used a ride-out bassline with some crunk ass drums
I think the similarities to dubstep end there cause dubstep isn't really danceable in the same way
I agree that it has more in line with the energy it's trying to build with jungle, and drum n bass
which are predecessors of dubstep
