Who else finds trap music boring?

[Wild self]

I did. I only found early TI and Jeezy projects to have any replayability. DJ Toomp was a monster with them samples.

Trap music is stagnation post 2009. It is status to me. Even in social settings, it's redundant and predictable with no versatility like them old school black cookouts with then 70s and 80s jams.

I like a lot of trap beats but I feel like you can see thru a lot of the production these days. Everyone is using the same sample packs. When one beat gets hot with a flute sound, 100 beats emerge with similar sounds. A lot of it now is like these distorted guitars for instance. I wish the beats were more dynamic. I want to hear harder drums, like Tay Keith's shyt.

Trap music is like Reggaeton: repetitive garbage

Using the same 5 drum patterns and rapping styles stagnates the genre.

 

[Wild self]

as a producer if I give a chance to a new artist and they ask for trap beats I know right then and there that they arent serious artists and we are pretty much done. Trap serves its purpose but it has become the template for rappers....its like ordering a cheese pizza

Trap is like riding a bike with training wheels. You never gonna improve in any way, as long as them training wheels are on. It only handicaps you in the long run and exposes you as a fraud.

 

[Mr. Negative]

everybody started doing the same shyt, with the same beats, with the same "it's cool to sound as ignorant as possible with what I'm saying and how I'm saying it" style, with the same cadence, with damn near the same names shooting the same videos

even from different regions.

nowadays I'd rather get my dope boy raps from folks like Benny, Gibbs and Boldy James.

One simple reason

Wackiness

I knew from the first day, but y'all finally got tired of it

Its like y'all can't actually hear the.music until the hype dies down.

Then, songs you gave heavy play sound terrible and you don't bump them anymore

But

It was always wack. Something dope doesn't just spoil and TURN wack

All my 90s shyt is still BANGIN

You just put hype before quality and then you get 69 and bullshyt like that topping the charts

I literally stopped listening to new "Hip Hop" at least 10 years ago. I hear what's popular cause you can't escape it. And I will give something a spin a couple years after it drops... IF people are still saying its dope by then. Guess how often that happens nowadays. Hardly EVER

Just think of any hit from 2018. Would you play it now. Like ride around bumping it in front of all your friends

Prolly not, huh

 

[BK The Great]

I still listen to it on occasion, good music for working out. Guys like Jeezy, T.I. Buck, Ross etc.

 

[Complexion]

Never got on this wave because it sounded cheap, generic and simple from the start.

Don't get me wrong that doesn't mean you need a live orchestra and mindblowing complexity to knock, no, but this is the end result of people wanting to shine but not wanting to grind as its skill level ends where most novice beatmakers would say they were just starting to learn about how to actual produce so it sounds like an aural abortion that got rushed to distro with no quality control.

What amazes me is that its stuck around for so long as that speaks volumes about the consumers and their standards but then if you've never had home cooking and ate instant noodles all the time it must hit different because you've got nothing to compare it with.

Crazy thing is the old heads used to say the same about G Funk being talentless beat jacking back in the days so who knows, maybe we're just yelling at clouds?

*Confession time*

Honestly outside Project Pat, Early Young Jeezy and a few others I've always found trap music boring. All trap rappers pretty much have the same flow, the same type of beats and the same subject matter(Selling drugs, I had no father so the street raised me...etc). I would say maybe Im getting old(Im 28 btw) but, even when I was a teenager I just never found trap all that appealing. When I was in high school everyone was on Gucci Mane and shyt while I was listening to ICP and Tech N9ne. Just thought I'd share that.

Have you ever hit the gym?

 

[FunkDoc1112]

It's insanely repetetive, both music wise and content wise. Like my favorite rapper is Redman so I have no problem with shallow content but it's like...these nikkas are damn near saying the EXACT SAME shyt in their raps. Like they have a checklist before every song and are just crossing off boxes. It gets tiring.

Like Migos. Once you've heard one Migos song you've basically heard them all. They make every song like it's the first Migos song you'll ever hear. Same flows, same references, everything. A fountain of cliches.

 

[3rdWorld]

Had some nice beats I'll admit..but needed better carriers and riders.
Their rappers were trash

 

[bigdaddy88]

trap is fun to make but u do ear fatigue after a while, specially when an album is all trap from intro to end

What separates Trap from Drill?

 

[28 Gramz]

What separates Trap from Drill?

Drill is about gang bangin/killing/street violence. Trap music talks more about getting money.

 

[Please Believe It]

The more I get the more boring it gets. Most of it's just cool for the moment type shyt.

What are the main differences production wise?
