## What 2 lists say

### No. 4 in [Dubstep](https://waxonia.com/genre/dubstep/)

A Prince cover reduced to a sine wave and a monotone recitation. The founding statement of a label, and the clearest demonstration that this music was a set of ideas before it was a sound.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Night It Went National](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-dubstep-goes-national/)

A Prince cover reduced to a sine wave and a recitation, broadcast to a national audience. Nothing about that was a safe choice, and it is why the show is remembered as an argument rather than a playlist.
