word!
he isnt really famous, its fake internet fame.
but they are right, he just takes (other peoples) songs, speeds them up and then places different vocal samples out of time on top then renames them so they are "his"
there are a few other people who do this out there -
like i said, fake fame anybody off the net wouldnt have heard of them, im not going to name the others because thats just another name and link to come up on google and get them more recognition for being nobodys. :)

he is a happy hardcore artist who makes really good tunes like DJ Rankin vs DJ Hixxy - Heavons Above & DJ Rankin vs Darren Styles - Skydiving and the best one is DJ Rankin vs DJ Pulse vs DJ Cammey vs DJ Carley - oh no not another shit remix of a ravebaby tune that itself is a shit remix of a really good old 90s tune! you get the picture?

He didnt make that tune.
Dave McCullen did, and Squad E recently did a great Hardcore mix of it... Rankin got the original by Dave McCullen and added dodgy vocal snippets like "DJ Rankin in the mix mother****er" and these horribly out of time pitched up raps. lol

RANKINS WEBSITE:
DJ Rankin is best known for producing music by mixing multiple songs together at a fast tempo, with high-pitched “chipmunk” vocals layered on top, often clashing with the underlying arrangement, and his ubiquitous catch phrase “DJ Rankin in the mix, mutha f**ker” thrown in for good measure. While it doesn’t seem like a recipe for musical success, DJ Rankin’s manic mash-up style caught on with young listeners, especially in Scotland, Whales, and Northern England. Controversy soon followed his initial success, however, as some listeners began to suspect that DJ Rankin was attempting to pass off his work as original compositions, rather than remixes of other artists’ work. Fueling the outrage were internet postings by Rankin’s young fans, who believed the music was his original work and who were very vocal in their support of him. Rankin himself claims that he never attempted to take credit for writing the songs he was mixing, only for creating the mixes themselves.
