Ladies and gents, androids of all ages, the man known as Borgore is in celebration mode, and although he'd celebrate with a massive round of retweeting (bare) breasts and buttocks, we'd like to go a different route. While many write off his material for a number of reasons (from raunch to his approach to dubstep), Borgore has been one of the true punk rockers in the dance music scene. Taking ownership of "ruining dubstep," he set up his own imprint and decided to make that slight his mantra. Mixing crude humor with an ability to craft some of the most filthy basslines in the scene, Borgore has raked in accolades from all corners of the music community, aligning himself with Dim Mak, Diplo, Waka Flocka, and Carnage. He's the man that Miley Cyrus truly showcased her new look (and attitude) with, and has a dedicated fanbase that revels in his bass and hilarity.

Today, we take a look at the music that's made the man an infamous bass legend. He does what he wants, and definitely gets what he wants: take a look back at Borgore's infamy in sound.

Borgore - "Love"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Shift Recordings
Year: 2009

This is probably the Borgore archetype for his earlier work. Draw someone in with something catchy and cool, tinged with Borgore's rapping, then hit listeners with the gut punch and drop something super filthy (which he used to call "gorestep").

Borgore - "Ice Cream"

Label: Trillbass
Year: 2010

If you'd missed "Love," Borgore's "Ice Cream" takes some 808 low-end and an ice cream truck melody to pervert the fuck out of this delicious treat.

Borgore - "Nympho"

Label: Buygore
Year: 2010

More of Borgore getting his MC on, but instead of trying to be sly, this track wears its X-rated flavor right on its sleeve. And we even got to see a new side of Borgore's personality with the official video,

Borgore ft. Diplo - "Sunsets"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Buygore
Year: 2010

Another cut from the Borgore Ruined Dubstep Vol. 1 EP, which found Borgore linking up with Diplo for a track that oddly sounds exactly like what you'd expect from the two. Truly calm sample drawing you in during the intro for a kaleidoscope of WTF in the drop. There' so much going on when this thing drops, from chiptune insanity to that maniacal bass underneath. Filthy.

Borgore - "Money"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Buygore
Year: 2010

Our British heads would say this could be for heads who are "skint" but trying to stay ballin', with Borgore going for broke with lines about "punishing different women" and wanting to "buy the Olson twins" if he had the money to do so.

Borgore - "Gloryhole"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Buygore
Year: 2011

Truth be told, with a title like "Gloryhole," how could this be anything but gorestep filth? Being horny and not caring if the woman is "obeast," Borgore "puts" them "to shame." It got to the point where Borgore was satisfying the 15-year-old boy in all of us with these tracks, but with basslines this huge, many didn't seem to mind.

Borgore - "Smell Your D**k"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Buygore
Year: 2012

The best thing about this track is the tune he flips (Riskay's "Smell Your Dick") is raunchy enough, and all he has to do is flip the hook and hook up a huge beat underneath to make this fit. Might be the tamest piece of filth in his repetoire.

Borgore ft. Miley Cyrus - "Decisions"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Buygore
Year: 2012

People forget that before Miley was the (mainstream) "twerk queen," she was stepping out with Borgore as the voice behind his track "Decisions." She was all tongues and getting frisky with the females up in the club. It wasn't the very beginning of her debauchery, but you could say that Borgore helped Miley properly display this to the world.

Carnage & Borgore - "Incredible"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Spinnin'
Year: 2013

Over the years, Borgore's infamy was due to the filth in his lyrics and bass, the total big room house bomb that was "Incredible" marked a sharp change in style for both Borgore and Carnage. These two took their knack for mashing up crowds with trap and other styles and applied them to "Incredible," making a tune that was, in a word, incredible.

Borgore - "Legend"

Not Available Interstitial

Label: Buygore
Year: 2013

Crafting an anthem for the turnt set, "Legend" is built for heads who have aspirations but don't care about doing things the "right" way. Might be a wild way to think, but there are many who subscribe to this notion and revel in it. Everything in moderation, from alcohol to bass.
