interesting ideas
i cant help drawing two distinct conclusions - that there are people who enjoy dubstep/grime for what it is as underground music, all the pirate radio - d.i.y. aspect to the music, and those that appreciate the music made in a more compromised form - radio/gal friendly in terms of grime, or massive bass in dubstep.
so now artists have the choice of who they want to target their music at - whereas when they were starting off they never had this choice. back when mc's were spitting on deja or whatever they werent making music with the intention to sell, move units, or make it big. the music was a more uncompromised expression of what they were feeling (this may have been driven by a desire for fame but with that possibility so far removed, fame could not be a determining factor over output.)
you cant blame people for wanting to make it big, but whats saddest is the abandon of the ideals and influences that took people to a particular sound. that dizzee thing just hurts to read, but its not just the artists, the fans who like a music and arent prepared to accept its history arent who the mc's/producers should be aiming at. compromise isnt progress
