I never tried to argue that all corporations are the same, but that whether you sell your track to Hummer or you sell it to a fast food chain, chances are you're selling your art so that it can convey the message of a corporation that commits acts you yourself would not personally commit and...
I think this whole "I'll do a commercial for this corporation but not this other" BS is just retarded. It's one thing to do no commercials whatsoever, but if you're buying into the system at all, then refusing something like Hummer is either just lying to yourself or buying into the rhetoric...

Well, I certainly think those guys were dumb to make that argument. Sounds like the "I'll make up this excuse so I don't feel inferior" sort of argument, to me. What DJ wouldn't want hot, new tunes?
Using dubplates and having limited UK-only releases basically gets you to the same endpoint...
That's a rather condescending response, to be honest. It's also been a common complaint stateside that UK DNB DJs come to the US and play lame sets because they think that they can get away with it. Thanks to the internet, most people over here know all the new songs just as well as the...
I don't think people have a frustration with this aspect of dubplate culture-- it comes from their inability to play songs that they like. As a DJ, you basically can't play a song until everybody is sick of it, because if it ever comes out at all it's already been played relentlessly for months...
