I gotta get at trap beats (they have no replay value. Prove me wrong)
- Thread starter SirBiatch
- Start date
Its amazing, this trash topic made me start thinking about all the great music we've been blessed with over the past 15 years alone. 
People have been conditioned to believe that rap been dying, but there's so many albums released that are straight classics. Literally touching on all these southern tracks, from Lito to Gucci Mane to Rich Boy and Doe B and finally now listening to Killer Mike's God In The Building.
Let em sleep brehs.

Blunt To My Lips and Cheese & Dope are definiteley trap beats..DJ Paul & Juicy J were just way ahead of their time.
Not a coincidence alot of people sayin Future new album sounds like an updated Three Six project.

This is one of the GOAT beats ever...period for any subgenre..idgaf what you talkin about...
Boom Bap beats that have had 40 years of replay value?
My bad.
Still you get my point.
Almost 30 years on this:
30 years on this:
and so on...
to me:
repetitive, digital drums: especially claps, 808s and snare rolls
howling synths (or horns): mike will and lex are goat with this
in some cases...violins and opera sounds (particularly for 808 mafia)
haunting piano loops
a big reason why nikkas like to say that DJ Paul/Juicy J pioneered the sound is because they used all of the above
You consider Whodini boom bap?
That shyt pretty much just came out. Barely 4 years.
@noumena
a few questions with that 3-6 stuff:
a) is that really trap?
b) is that the best trap has to offer?
and more importantly c) you're telling me those joints can go toe-to-toe with the best boom bap of its era?
And I'm not a 3-6 hater. I think their sound and bounce can be interesting at times (though too basic and repetitive)
Anyway, good post homie. I've heard most of those tracks before with the exception of Kingpin Skinny Pimp. That Kingpin joint kinda goes. Haven't heard that Lord Infamous track in years. If more modern trap beats were like that, I wouldn't complain. Beat is dope.
as for Mista Don't Play, I'd take that album over TM 101 any fukking day. Most of these nikkas screaming "TM101 is a classic" prolly never heard that shyt. "If You Aint From My Hood" is a dope ass beat, and the song as a whole has more personality than any track on TM101.
that's what occurred to me.
The song I posted - definitely.

I would consider Mista Dont Play to be early trap music..honestly the only difference to todays shyt from back then is tempo (alot of the beats are faster today)..hi hat patterns and futuristic synth sounds (Mannie Fresh was doing that back in 98-99 though).
This entire track from the beat (horror movie backdrop) to the "Gucci Flip Flops" cadence is classic Project Pat.
