Smokin’ Blunts Makin’ Cream by Shekel: A Dubstep Gem from the Desert
Alright, let’s get real for a sec. If you’re into that wobbly bassline madness we call dubstep and haven’t heard Smokin’ Blunts Makin’ Cream by Shekel yet, you’re kinda sleepin’ on some serious vibes. Released back in 2010 via Prime Dub (shoutout to Israel for gifting us this banger), this album is like your go-to snack—simple but hits all the right spots.
First up, the OG track: “Smokin’ Blunts Makin’ Cream (Original Mix)”. This one grabs you by the ears and doesn’t let go. The beat drops harder than your buddy trippin’ over his own vape pen at a house party. It’s got that classic dubstep growl mixed with an almost hypnotic groove. You can practically smell the smoke waftin’ through the speakers. What makes it stick? Maybe it’s how effortlessly it switches between chill moments and face-melting chaos. Or maybe it’s just the title—it’s ridiculous enough to tattoo on your brain forever.
Then there’s the remix: “WhiskerTwister Remix”. Oh man, where do I even start? WhiskerTwister clearly had one job here, and they crushed it. They took Shekel’s original recipe and added their secret sauce—a dash of wonky synths here, a pinch of glitchy madness there. The result? Something completely fresh but still loyal to its roots. There’s this part around two minutes in where everything goes quiet before BOOM—the drop comes outta nowhere like your ex showing up uninvited. Love it or hate it, it’s unforgettable.
Now, sure, this isn’t gonna be everyone’s cuppa tea. Some purists might say it’s too “out there,” while others might think it’s not experimental enough. But honestly, who cares? Music should slap first and ask questions later, and this album does exactly that.
Here’s the kicker though—what’s wild about Smokin’ Blunts Makin’ Cream is how timeless it feels. Even though it dropped over a decade ago, it could easily slide into any modern playlist without missing a beat. Maybe that’s because good dubstep never really gets old, or maybe Shekel knew something we didn’t. Either way, hats off to ‘em.
So yeah, give this bad boy a spin if you’re lookin’ to add some spice to your rotation. And hey, if nothing else, at least now you’ve got a dope conversation starter next time someone asks what you’ve been listenin’ to lately. Just don’t blame me if you end up craving nachos halfway through—it’s basically inevitable.
