Is Trap official the most influential sub genre in hip hop history?

[True Weltch Media]

Dub step has a huge trap influence. The deep southern bass and the snares land on the 3. Tempos often at 140 BPM which is also equal to 70 BPM which is around trap tempo

I don't know, but I believe it's the laziest most boring sub-genre in hiphop. You heard one trap song, you heard them all.

This I agree with. All the damn beats sound the same. In general

 

[really]

i think "trap music" is being too broadly categorized honestly....


And crunk is the most influential by DEFINITION cus it opened the door for "Trap" music.


Not as many people doing trap music as yall making it out to be though.... Yall confusing "south" with "trap"

Influential in a bad way yes indeed !

You're talking production, and I would have to say no. G-Funk and Boom-Bap are better answers...

In terms of sub genre Gangsta Rap wins by a mile.

Boom Bap? yes. G-funk? yes and no. G-Funk was the most influential in terms of commercial success as a substyle of HipHop. West Coast G-Funk is the sound that really put hiphop into the charts and dominate but Boom-bap was more influential. Boom-Bap rap since it was based on Funky drummer (G-Funk was based on synthesized Funk) breaks ended up being more influential because it also went into R&B and Electronica like HipHouse, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Hardcore, UK Garage, 2 Step etc...




In the modern sense it would be Trap/Crunk/Southern Bass as the most influential style hands down. Every other commercial I hear on TV has a Trap/Southern HipHop Bass influenced beat in it.

Crazy that bounce New Orleans sound started in New York too... Jamaica Queens to be specific..Trap right now is the most copied sound but I think DJ Mustard/New West Coast sound is slowly gonna reach that point as a lot of pop artists stealing that formula right now.. New York set down the foundation for a lot of the synth rap but it was hated on by the sample purists so the South took it, embraced it and elevated it

 

[Jemmy]

i remember beat makers use to get clowned on for using FL Studio once trap started elevating now it's probably most used .. A lot changed after trap really started movin up..

Do we consider New Jack Swing a subgenre of R&B, hiphop or both?

 

[DrX]

trap been going strong for about 10 years and its not changing...trap beats are still the hottest production style

 

[YeLovesBoston]

gangsta rap then trap

GTFO

EVERY city has their own club music.

Detroit - Ghetto Tech
Chicago - House
DC - Go-go
Balitmore - Bmore House/Club
Northeast - Some Dancehall
etc etc

It's a reason none of this local ass shyt has blown up nation wide. You might get a influenced track from an artist here or there but come on. Bounce is in that same category.

The staying power of Trap is some mind boggling shyt.
