Good for him acknowledging this!

[jomarr]

But still the haters will try to discredit Britney Spears

As expected

[iheartBrit]

He's right. I remember the first time I listened to HIAM and then that dubstep breakdown came on. My jaw literally dropped, and I was left speechless.

Britney is a trailblazer though. She doesn't follow trends, she sets them. Can't wait to see what Album 8 brings

Nothing new.

Let's see if the Little Monsters will accept it as well now.

Funny how everyone says this is old news but where denying it a few months ago

[RichyRich]

But Brit's producers were only following the latest "sound"themselves. That song wasn't revolutionary in any way. @ that list. Do you all actually think these artists and their producers heard this and said "We have got to go recreate this" Dubstep was on fire in Europe. The only coincidence they all had was the hunch for exploring this other electronica sound since they had already raped the hell out of the electro pop/david guetta sound. But whatever I guess...

Why wouldn't the monsters accept it? There's no reason for them not to..

[Espresso]

Um...distinctions should be made here in terms of which dub-step we're talking, before we even get into the arguments of a pop crossover.

Early 2000s Dubstep


Late 2000s "Dubstep" (Brostep)

Monsters have never said anything about it or are at least not known for denying it.

Obvi.

The Monsters have said things about it but usually the more pretentious ones.

Genuinely asking.. What was the first song/album of Britney's to use dubstep?

The first pop song to use dubstep ever was "Freakshow" in 2007. It had the wobble-effect. The next pop song to do it was that song on Rihanna's 'Rated R" in 2009.

Britney however, did had the first ever pop son got use it as a single last year. So she did start a trend.

[LonelySoul]

britney still setting trends.

K-POP isn't US mainstream and Alex Care, Leona Lewis and Katy B are British where dubstep was already present on our charts so who or what the influence was is another kettle of fish.

I don't know if I would class Good Feeling as dubstep, nor Who Gon Stop Me from Watch The Throne.

You Da One, Gang Bang, Automatic and ALAYLM, I'll give you. Still a bit hesitant to class this as a "trend" started by Britney though over a gradual break into mainstream, we're not exactly talking an influx of dubstep in pop here starting immediately post-HIAM. Only two of those were singles and only one was a hit.

Thanks for actually giving examples and arguing the case though. More than most have done.
