trap music saved hip hop......

Hip hop should be like a buffet catering to a vast array of different styles and experiences throughout black culture of America. Trap music is but one of those dishes served in the hip hop buffet and is a welcome balance to other forms and styles of hip hop. I co-sign this thread.

Low key this is a great analogy.

Co-Sign.

Just an opinion though..

To those saying/thinking that "Trap Music" is the quintessential club music as opposed to "Real Hip-Hop"..don't forget that those exact type of records were what was being played in the clubs when Hip-Hop was in its early years. So for all we know in the future there might be another shift and we'll be hearing some crazy shyt that embodies that generation's idea of "Club Music" and what should be played there, in the popular clubs, and we'll be looking while our grandkids and say "You used to dance to people bragging to you about them selling DRUGS and destroying a community?"

The hope for that balance though, that future generations will find a medium between insane levels of ratchetness (to get the hoes popping) while having a level of social awareness and duty spread through music, would simply be a miracle .

But yeah, "Trap Music" in a party/social setting > "Real Hip-Hop"

how come they dont..


then dungeon family made trap music ...

concrete law..is underrated as fukk....backbone broke it all down on that album...

Got to dap you because these young nikkas have no idea how incredible of an album Concrete Law was and it doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves.

Quoted this for truth. What else gonna make your subwoofers thump?

Trap rap was aite. It had its benefits and whatnot. And some of these trap rappers actually are pretty lyrical. Cats trying to sound like each other is what messed the game up though. Instead of them trying to be themselves they try to bite of the latest sound.

 

[itskontos]

10000% right

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

i was born and the 80's what else was they bumping

Real hiphop

 

[It Takes A Nation...]

You be saying some real shyt on the low

Thanks for the props. I do it for hip hop.

 

[BlackZilla]

It's funny though...I was gonna flame the OP...but then I stopped and thought about it, and I see that Trap Music (Current) does have it's place in the clubs and whip. And I agree with @It Takes A Nation... 's analogy as well, with regards to Hip Hop being diverse enough to have different lanes...well put

I just wish that the mainstream was as diverse though, it's hard trying to get your homies into rap when they see Wacka and Chief Keef and think that's all the genre has to offer...

 

[LOUDaffair]

dope boys need that countup music world we living in ain't positive that's y boosie my favorite rapper bruh spit them life stories a street nikka feel

 

[John Hull]

What ya'll call "Trap" used to just be classified as "booty music". Intentionally bass heavy an light on lyrics for the purpose of gettin hoes to go ham in the clubs or at defunct street parties like "Freaknik" back in the day.

Uncle Luke is your father.

Google Shy D and learn your history for my ATL brethren.

Why do cats think the 808 drum is so cutting edge?


There's mad other drums you could be using on ya shyts B. You missin out.

I'm just a fan of dope music period. I hate labels and I hate peeps trying to claim the whole culture for themselves and making a mockery of what SHOULD be a powerful revenue stream for nikkas but instead gets turned into some idiotic competition between specific styles that shyt is corny.

 

[LOUDaffair]

Just kause yu rapping over a 808s don't make u a trap rapper...the industry need nikkas like Scooter..talk bout both sides like jeezy n boosie do not just the good stacking bread..but the struggles too..he the best trap rapper out right now..trap rap got substance too. just only nikkas that been thru it kan feel it
