Timbaland Created Dubstep? Wait…

Not only does he bombard the world with mediocre tunes and clog up music channels with his pudgy bulldog face, Timbaland has now claimed to have created dubstep. Recently talking to Danny Walker from RWD, Timbaland discusses the UK scene as if he somehow conceived it in his super-womb, possibly around the time he incubated Kanye West’s foetus in a nest made of Missy Elliot’s liposuction run-off.

“The UK scene”, he muses, “they’re always telling me that I started it. You have Dub-bass…”. George Lamb — yes, George Lamb was there — interjects at this point asking if he’s talking about dubstep and Timbaland exasperatingly continues “Yeah, dubstep but I call it dub-bass [as the room laugh]. It’s the bass that drives the music. It’s funny cos they went back to some of my old music that really created that sound and just, instead of going fast, they went slow with more bass. To me, I like it but they call it dubstep. I like how they dance to it now, it’s cool.”

So basically, Timbaland reckons he initially created and further inspired dubstep. What. The. Fuck? He thinks that Horsepower, El-B and Oris Jay were sitting about listening to Bubba Sparxxx and Destiny’s Child thinking “How do I make thiiiis?!”. My neighbour’s sausage dog makes better bass than Timbaland when it farts. He’s a lunatic.

Timbaland is a tool

    You obviously don’t know your stuff, When I first heard dubstep the first I thought, wtf is dubstep. This is just techno at being played half time. And still thats pretty much the basic format with aphat synth bass line and cliche dubstep drums. Timbaland did make music being played half time, popular. For example, Aliyah – one in a million, its dubstep without out the cliche dubstep drums or bass wobble. So the style isn’t completely, But its definitely a fresh twist on some already established styles of music…..

    i found this page because i googled “timbaland invented dubstep”…his early style was the precursor to modern day popular dubstep. 

    just listen.like the first car or automobile doesn’t look like they do today or in the future, you have to respect your history. 

    boo to the author’s ignorant opinion.
