Jul 1, 2017 T.I mentioned that he started trap...how valid is this?...I figure it was between him or Wayne and Gucci finessed it
Jul 1, 2017 the trap mentality started w UGK, the sound started w Miami Bass, and you can trace the 808 use as far back as Planet Rock w afrika bambaata T.I. was the first to give it a name and the one to pin it in Atlanta
Jul 1, 2017 i blame internet. im sure if i was 10 years old id upload vids to youtube of me rapping because i want to be a wigger fa---- like the Game or Eminem you look at slim jesus career and i kinda almost described that exact scenario
Jul 1, 2017 he was the first to coin the phrase trap music trap as you know it was really kicked off by jeezy, gucci and zay and exploded thanks to lex & waka
Jul 1, 2017 its just a general perspective on how the sounds evolved not saying they're the same but i don't think its too farfetched to think this pattern might repeat itself, when it comes to culture and art everythings been going in cycles since the renaissance
Jul 1, 2017 well ya its just a pretty standard evolution of any artistic medium thats why its shallow imo unless im missing something >thing starts off at a grass roots, underground level >develops gritty, primal style popular in underground community >gets popularised >develops and becomes more polished & less gritty
Jul 1, 2017 Metro Boomin came later ...wow interesting ...whos gonna make a documentary about Trap ...we'll call it the Trappy Ones hhahah
Jul 1, 2017 nah i was thinking more like how the it was super aggressive music, then it hit a ceiling and the focus shifted to moody atmospheric music
Jul 1, 2017 A lot of ppl dont know that 2 Chainz is an OG...used to be Tity Boi from Playaz Circle from 1997-2010
Jul 1, 2017 also both black metal and moody trap obsess over depression and self destruction, altho black metal is more like literal self destruction while trap is more obsessed w self destructive habits and drug use
Jul 1, 2017 well ya thats what im saying but with different words i guess although i wouldnt say either genre "hit a ceiling" both devlopments are more like offshoots than a lateral movement the whole genre makes uknow
Jul 1, 2017 ye altho he didn't really start focusing on music before he went solo, he was rich before that off selling weed lol also ludas label didnt really bring him to his full potential u can see him in the music video for Three 6 Mafia - Ridin Spinners
