dubsteplead 10 Dubstep/Rap Collaborations That Dont Suck

One of the bigger crazes/fads over the last five years has been the cross-pollenation of dubstep and rap. It’s a lot more than Flux Pavilion samples on Watch The Throne, though. While most of the scene’s focus has been on remixing rap tracks (or more often producing a new beat and dropping an acapella over it), there have been original songs that have come out with the producer either inviting a rapper spit bars to an existing riddim or working on an entirely new track. The problem is – most of them have been crap. We want to push those failures to the wayside and bring you some examples of when dubstep and rap get it right.

  • Rob HM

    ‘Gambler’ by Quest would have been 1st on the list for me. The whole ‘Fear Not Failure’ tape was dope and compromised predominantly dubstep beats.

  • Woody

    Yo missed Zeds Dead and Omar Linx up there.

  • khal

    @Rob HM – good call. this is by no way ALL of the ones that don’t suck. I hadn’t realized Mt. Eden had done FOUR tracks on that mixtape when it first came out.

    @Woody don’t wanna say I “missed” anything off the Victor EP, but it just didn’t make this list.

  • Luke

    spaceghostpurrp also did this “sizzurp-step” type shit a while back. it was the “nasty 1995 freestyle” amazing. he deleted it though.

  • Slime

    They left out “Boss Level” by XV

  • khal

    i’m pretty sure XV spitting on that track was just over a Skrillex track, not an official song.

  • duh

    Danny Brown & Joker >

  • cinlay

    The Wale, Skrillex colab was so wack.

  • K57

    What about Heart by Mickey Factz?

    No Dope DOD?

  • ummm

    There are 2 in the list that don’t suck. the others I had to skip through. There are much better producers out there, most of this is noob status.
