Skrillex with Rick Ross - Purple Lamborghini

Artists:  Skrillex & Rick Ross
Song:  Purple Lamborghini
Album:  Suicide Squad:  The Album (2016)
Genre:  Dubstep, Rap
Language:  Strong

I figure what better way to ring in the new year than bringing up one of the lesser loved movies of 2016?

Honestly, Bright is what made me think of this.  I loved the songs that Suicide Squad had commissioned for the movie.  The songs they added in it weren't the best, but the songs they had made for it were pretty tight.

Personally, this is one of my favorite styles of Rap, the ones with Dubstep beats in the back.  Tomorrow we're gonna hit a different favorite style, but at least for today check out this one up till the drop happens.  It's not too far in, it's worth catching.

Skrillex - Ragga Bomb

Artist:  Skrillex with Ragga Twins
Genre:  Dubstep

I swear I thought this song was here ages ago.  I found it back in like, the beginning of summer, so I really honestly thought I had to have shared it by now.  I really love the synth sound Skrillex used in this, it's so dirty it's falling apart while you listen to it.  Basically this song is a lot of what I live about Skrillex's work.  I don't seek out his music, but when I do there's always a song or two like this that's just great.

Yo, I can't talk about this song though cause I just found out that Demon Hunter's first single dropped for their new album!  :D  Hype hype hype

It's currently only available to people who helped back the album, but you'd better believe that I'm reviewing the hell out of this album when it releases.

Skrillex - Make It Burn Dem

Artist:  Skrillex feat. Damian Marley
Genre:  Dubstep

I have to admit, I really like Skrillex.  He's the super dumb bass heavy dubstep that I can really get behind usually.  His stuff can be really iffy for me, but I love the stuff that just goes hard and that's it.  I like that.

The stuff he did with Korn may be some of my favorite stuff he's been a part of, but if we're being real there's nothing that quite hits for stupid pump up music like a couple of his songs.

Then there's this song.  I associate this one with weed because it played in a video game while I burned a drug lord's marijuana field with a flamethrower.

Korn - Get Up!

Korn went through a bit of a rough time in 2011 when they released a Dubstep album.  I won't say it's a horrible sounding album, but it really is a vastly different direction from their traditional sound.  On one hand change is good, but on the other hand this was right when Dubstep was being hotly contested as whether it was "real" music or not.  It still is now, but it's much more accepted.

People are still iffy about the new Korn sound (which is really different from this) but one thing that almost all Korn fans can agree on is that this album just isn't too great.

FLIP SIDE

If you're a fan of Metal and Dubstep mixed then this is something you'll like.  The album is great for Dub fans that like the more vocally centered stuff with a little bit of a harsher edge.

I'm beginning to think I need some sort of early warning system for people to know whether they need headphones or whatever when they listen to this stuff.  Maybe a language warning?  Lemme know what you think, cause I'd hate to think I'm blindsiding some of you who are unfamiliar with some of the stuff I post.

Skrillex - Kyoto

I'm sure you guys have heard of Skrillex before, he was a really big deal there for a while.

While he's not as popular now, I do still enjoy a good bit of what I've heard of his music.  This song for instance was one of my favorite songs off of the Bangarang album.  It was really different sounding than the other tracks, but in a good way.

Outside of that I don't really have anything to say about this guy.  I mean realy, all the jokes have been made from saying his name is latin for "homosexual satan wasp" (it's not) to just general jokes about dubstep in general.  Hey though, I'm just here to show you this stuff, so let's give it a listen.

Skrillex - Kill Everybody

So I know that choosing Skrillex is kinda stereotypical.  "Oh, you listen to dubstep?  You must love Skrillex then!"  No.  Not really at all actually.  I enjoy some of his material, but he's a lot more chill then I tend to like for the most part.  If you play his Pandora station, it tends to stick mostly toward the "Cinema" and "Summit" end of it.  This is one of the reasons that when I play Dubstep on Pandora I stick to the Knife Party station.

Still though, this is one of my favorite Skrillex songs because it does fill the style that I enjoy.  It's kinda crazy-ish, and has a driving cathy beat.
