I don't see this being what people think it is, at least I hope it isn't. The museum should be an actual trap house (spefically former trap house).

I could see this being a good thing if and only if:

The tours define what a trap is, why people are turned on by the lifestyle, the negative aspects of said lifestyle, and the music influenced by said lifestyle.

lol, although I'm one of the people that think music is a function of the streets and not vice versa as far as life changing events like crime goes.. Is it free?

Southern hiphop culture could be something worth it with trap music of the mid 2000s having a small section. Or is the escape rooms the main attraction and the museum just a small part perhaps :patrice:

T.I., Jeezy, & Guwop seem to be the focal point of the museum going by the introduction they have on the wall, they have their own exhibits. 2 chainz and ross does as well, but they do show appreciation to others with pictures, paintings, and other things like memorabilia. for example the papers young dro wrote shoulder lean on

T.I. = Armory room
Jeezy = Room of white bricks
Guwop = Trap House
2 Chainz = Pink Trap Chevy
Ross = Rather you than me room

bunch of photos here

I came in here to clown but after seeing the pictures they really did a solid job. It's kind of necessary :yeshrug:

I'd actually go to this. I think every region should do something like this to show different facets of our culture. Not just musically, but incorporate as much as possible that show how we impact culture at large.

While I don't condone or value the promotion of trap culture, you can't dismiss it. It's the reality of life that a lot of us grew up in or around.

They did a good job with this. It shows the fashion, the flash, the grit, the mud, etc.
