Difference is, Skrillex is the only real option in terms of Dubstep icons, as he's the only really recognizable one in mainstream music among not only fans but people who just acknowledge Dubstep. In terms of Hip Hop artists, there are a lot more to choose from and a lot more recognizable artists than Run DMC like Tupac, Eminem, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Dr. Dre, Jay Z, etc. I'm not saying that they aren't material, as because I've never heard of them before, I don't have much say in that regards. I'm just saying it's not exactly comparable when unarguably there are more recognizable artists than Run DMC than there are compared to Skrillex in Dubstep. As well, both Bieber and Lady Gaga were used because they were two hugely famous Pop artists in both mainstream music and in the media itself around the time of their battles, and still are, or at least more so Bieber. To be fair, Gaga vs Palin was one of their earlier battles, and not a lot of people really like it either.
