Shawty Redd was running with that YEARS before Lex even got on.

Redd did wonders for trap in the early 00's.

Lex even says that Redd was one of his influences. He ain't the godfather of that, at all.
He said MODERN trap. Yall be cherry picking with that Shawty Redd shyt. And Shawty Redd influencing Lex dont stop Lex from being an architect him damn self. Youre just conflating things. Shawty Redd got his sound from directly from Lil Jon. We could play this game all day

nikka so is Lex. Lex never stoped getting placements. And none of that got to do with whose the damn better producer. Aint Lex fault his lessers (inlcluding Metro) ran his shyt into the ground. Metro would still be a Lex copy if not for getting the sauce from Southside and TM (another Lex clone). And you clearly only listened to Lex from 2009 to 2011, because Lex style evolved multiple times since then. Yall nikkas inn here talking out of yall asses. 2012 - 2017 Lex is smoking any incarnation of Metro and Southside
False and absurd. DS2 Itself is RIPsmoking most of lex's catalog, and I was a fan of that nicca. The whole album is certified heatrocks mostly done by metro and Southside

You a damn lie. You aint never heard any beats from Lex in the time period I know you haven't. Lex is far more nuanced than both of them nikkas. Way better sound selection and arrangements. Metro and Southside shyt just appease to casual ears more because they shyt is not as overt. But Lex has always been the more better and the more dynamic beat smith.

Shawty Redd IS modern trap.

:what:

You act like dude was working in the 80's or some sh*t. They were working at the same time. Redd just started earlier and fathered what Lex was doing. And Redd's sh*t don’t sound anything like Lil Jon's. FOH.

And Lex shyt sounds nothing like Shawty Redds. You being obtuse as shyt but carry on. Shawty Redd got Lil Jon formula down to a t. From from the horns to the dry a pizzicato. You delusional if you say otherwise, or just haven't listened to much of Lil Jons shyt. And Lex from 2012-now sounds nothing like Shawty Redd.

You seem to be a little slow.

So I'll explain this to you again, so you don’t have so much trouble. Lex can't be the godfather of something that he himself says he got from other people. He's said mad times that one of his biggest influences is Shawty Redd. Those are HIS words. Not any of ours on here. So you can debate with yourself, if you want. But you're talking about a bunch of sh*t no one cares about.

Dude said he was influenced by Redd. Get over it, bro.

This negates nothing I said. Or the reality of what I said. You got no talking point so youre resorting red herring fallacies and cherry picking. Typical internet shyt.
