I know this was quite a heated subject around 2005-2006 time,
Alot of kids at the time were using file sharing websites to find music and obviously the two most notorious people for the whole ripping off someone elses song and speeding it up and putting it under their name were the DJ Cammy or DJ Rankin.
I know people probably don't come across it that much now, not on the scale of the years i mentioned above.
However, I'm just curious if anyone knew whatever happened or came of this little trend during the mid 2000s. I obviously hated the fact and spotting it out for the unaware that the tracks were rip offs

If you really hated the trend you would be glad that it's gone and never wonder what happened to it in the first place lol
As far as DJ Rankin goes, I saw someone post this under on of the Truth About Rankin videos:
Actually Rankin had the chance to play regular gigs and co-produce original tracks (or at least remixes that were cleared with the original artist) but on every occasion was a complete twat to people. Now he plays at 'old skool' nights at universities in Ireland. For some reason loads of people in ROI grew up thinking he was a famous DJ when he only played a handful of actual DJing gigs his entire life. Most or all of them at Under-18s events.

Cammy went to jail so I heard and Rankin was said to be a 'Chav' or Ned as they call them in Scotland and it was rumoured that he was going to get signed to AATW but I doubt anything came of it.
It was a big thing at the time, Cammy & Rankin amongst others making crappy tunes but I think it went out of fashion as Dubstep has taken over and I think the genre is not one to rip off as there aren't as many 'love songs' to speed up. It was a big thing in 2006 with fans listening to Rankin & Cammy stuff as well as Clubland and Raverbaby stuff and even going as far as calling Rankin 'Hardcore'
Thankfully those times have passed or at least for now anyway

Cammy did spend some time in prison, but a Judge let him out early... you can look it up on the internet - and probably buried in the forums here.
Didn't realise we were actually friends on Facebook - he replied to one of my posts saying I was his favourite producer. I thought his name rang a bell, so I checked his page and if I remember rightly he turned all religious - and then unfriended me shortly after! :(
Didn't Rankin support Akon at some huge party in Ireland?

Don't forget the out-of-time rap acapellas they laid over nearly every tune!

I'm sure i once pretended i did a tune with DJ Rankin.
Don't think anybody believed me because the acappella was in time with the sped up eurodance tune i used.

The worse I ever heard was a 'remix' of XTM - Fly on wings of love which was literally just sped up with a few acapellas. I have never seen anything get so much abuse on Youtube lol

Lol that's what i was thinking. Given that no one wanted them around to begin with i wouldn't expect anyone to be asking why they are no longer here. They would just be glad they are gone and never have to talk about them again.

Everyone forgotten about the Nightcore scene already? Do you people even youtube? =P There's still many more Rankin and Cammy. Have you already forgotten how DjFlammy sounded when he first came on here?

You seem to know a disturbing (inappropriate?) amount about him dude!
