Ya some ppl shouldn’t have opinions on s*** they don’t know about

This is true. The last actual trap music we seen was Old mixtape migos. Very early future and thug along wit peewee

Yea this problem exist too because there ain’t no sub genre on paper. I hate wen someone be trying to compare Kendrick to a lil uzi. Like both great rappers but totally different styles of rap. Like why even compare lol

This is true.

But then even those 90s White Hip Hop heads get s*** on for some reason. There was a thread on here a while back where some people were criticizing why White People liked 90s rap so much lol

The other difference is Hip Hop was profitable back then, but not "#1 most consumed genre" profitable, so there were a lot of White People supporting the genre then, but I'd argue it's increased exponentially now relative to the era.

Integrating Hip Hop into mainstream American culture was always a double edged sword. A lot of these rappers wouldnt be as rich or famous on a mainstrean level without it, but now the dominance of Hip Hop currently gives anyone the right to speak on the music and even the culture, regardless of race, background, or knowledge of the history of the Culture.

But the old heads have always made a distinction between "Rap Music" and "Hip Hop Music/Culture" even decades back when they saw where this was going. They get a lot of heat but they were right.

Now you got fellas saying denzel curry and travis scott make trap music

They call Travis/Carti Trap bruh, this why I can’t take some of their opinions serious

i feel like people think that way because every metric that you can pull data on with hip-hop is heavily influenced by white people

sales/streaming numbers/social media followers/music reviews

most of that stuff is dictated by white people by default because they're the majority

Yea we been seeing “Rodeo best trap album” for 3 years now

i wouldn't say good more so than the ultimate term people use for this.

"creative/different"

but I mean we're gonna merge with a lil bit of everything to create something new until we have what we can mass replicate and churn out hits.

we gotta remember it was Rick Rubin and Run DMC for a while.
it's good to have a mix. but well balanced.

Album cover will be a picture of him licking a pair of boots

never understood this like how do songs like 90210 sound like trap lol

i dont know. i just like what sounds good to my ears

my 5s in hiphop / rap if that helps

J Dilla - Donuts
Genius/GZA - Liquid Swords
Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Madvillain - Madvillainy
Nas - Illmatic
OutKast - Aquemini
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West - The Life of Pablo
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Most niggas don’t understand trap meant the subject matter and beats both where trap. Now it’s just people hear the trap beats and call it trap. Can’t even blame half of him for being ignorant. These niggas who started liking rap in 2015

ok dis hard.

Trap music anything with 808’s and rolling hi hats according to who ever y’all referring to.

That’s a good list

even with the beats bruh like i don't even see it only a few times would the beats fit into "trap" s*** and we all know what travis and denzel rap about lol

This is a joke tho cmon bro

tbh i always see this take but theres never an answer to what kind of music they make same with carti

i agree but there are some albums that dont fall under this category and are still well received

OP said dad rock not rock lol. rock was created by black people.

southern hip hop

Melodic rap or I call it personally drip rap= wen niggas get melodic or start saying random bars, getting hype or just having fun on TRAP beats

Travis Scott
Lil uzi
Carti
Yachty
Later thug (2015 and up)
Mainstream migos
All the actual good “Lil” rappers

They ain’t trap artist but niggas hear the beat and throw em in the category

thats not a clear answer bossman

What would you consider Drake? He just a Rap/Hip-Hop artist. That’s what Travis would be or just “mainstream rap” but that term is very wide, so they just another Rap artist. Carti I would call a Soundcloud rapper 🤷🏽‍♂️ But that’s more of a personal sub-genre I got 🤷🏽‍♂️
