Snoop Dogg on a Dubstep tip!

So this week it's been big news that a lot of big hip hop artists (Snoop Dogg, L'il Jon, L'il Wayne, Pharell) have hopped onto the dubstep scene, producing their own stuff or just ripping existing tracks with their own hip hop flavours over the top.
Here's an example, the original tune. Chase & Status - Eastern Jam:

The Snoop Dogg 'remix':

Personally prefer the original think this sounds too cluttered and a bit all over the place. Think there'd be some potential though if he had a dubstep tune produced specifically for him.
But with all this high profile US interest on such a small UK scene still in infant stages, is it a good thing? Will the exposure be a good thing or will it be the death of dubstep as we know it?

but on the other hand the proliferation of awful commercial hiphop hasnt stopped the production of good hiphop.
we may end up with more slurry like this, but I dont think it'll stop the creation of other good stuff.
There are quite a few decent tunes emerging just lately in both scenes, the only difference being that dubstep is becoming a lot more manstream and more people are latching onto it.
