Mar 23, 2017 i mean, i'd say the vast majority of the genre at this point is on some pretty ignant s--- rn
Mar 23, 2017 trap music is not just the beat ...the lyrics are talking about things like g--- culture selling drugs prostituting females carrying and shooting guns killing other black people thats not really shedding a positive light on black culture ...or exposing people to all of what is black culture
Mar 23, 2017 you're describing what street hip hop music has been about for at leat 20 yrs tho apart from that trap music is just the beat
Mar 23, 2017 Kanye's first 5 albums sold just fine... not ignorant at all. Outkast sold well. J Cole. Kendrick. It's not just ignorant music.
Mar 23, 2017 i don't think shadidah is saying it's all ignorant just that the vast majority of it is, which, i mean... come on. it very obviously is
Mar 23, 2017 man this is so wrong trap music sells like s--- the second biggest rap artist in terms of sales is j cole lmao
Mar 23, 2017 eh nah its the name of a genre, trap music is not always hip hop music anyways a song isnt considered trap music if its over a soul sample based beat or boom bap cmon now
Mar 23, 2017 this what i mean i mean i get it ...its entertaining to hear about how someones best friend got shot in a drive by shooting
Mar 23, 2017 it plays on the radio cause its catchy party music tho make a catchy party conscious song and itll play on the radio like this goes for any genre idk why people get so preachy about hip hop its absolutely fine and striving rn theres no reason to be upset about it
Mar 23, 2017 I always thought trap music (aside from TI) was the fast paced style with computerized high hats and s---? Like it's a sub genre of EDM, that made its crossover to hip hop
Mar 23, 2017 no its not lol its describing a lifestyle that is made up of selling drugs and what comes with it
Mar 23, 2017 it gets confusing cause you've got trap like TI, then you've got the new wave of rappers taking over the name trap, but you've also got the s--- edm trap that's been popular in the scene since dubstep dropped off in popularity
Mar 23, 2017 @Boos the trap music that im referring to is like Future or 2 Chainz type music but minus the music thats what the act of trappin is
Mar 23, 2017 thats why i thought when i first heard of it, but then i've since seen the others under the same name gets worse when you try and even google trap music you get a mix of artists/songs that is just horribly inconsistent
