one positive things is that its slowly replacing reggaeton as the urban genre in Puerto Rico

I head some Dominicans/Ricans outside playing something that sound like Trap music w/ Spanish lyrics. I don't know what is was though.

lyrically, trap is more general street than gangsta rap. Musically, the Trap sound has been more influential than, lets say, G-Funk

WRONG. No Trap album has sold as many albums or had the impact of The Chronic or Doggystyle, let alone lesser known G-Funk albums such as Uncle Sams Curse, Dogg Food, and even Doggfather. Not to mention G-Funk sound was unique to Hip Hop. Trap Music had copied EDM elements the last few years.

Don't mistake quantity for quality.

Nope, Notice I said musically and not commercially! G-Funk has never permeated HipHop and non-HipHop like the Trap sound. Boom Bap itself never sold as much as G-Funk but it was still and still is more influential. The Boom Bap sound of HipHop influenced more HipHop and non-HipHop than G-Funk from Trip-Hop to various forms of EDM and even Rock




Not to mention G-Funk sound was unique to Hip Hop.

The G-Funk sound came from Funk and R&B and pretty much stayed within HipHop and never spread like Trap



Trap Music had copied EDM elements the last few years.


it's pretty much the other way around for the meat of the sound



















Don't mistake quantity for quality.

we're talking influence....G-Funk never spread and influenced numerous genres across pop music like the Trap sound

Try again. Next ya'll going to be on here talking about how Three Six Mafia put Memphis on the map. All due respect to HCP as a whole, but Eightball & MJG were major before Three Six.

G-funk is just the greatest. You can't fukk with the Funky Worm!

People talking about trap spreading to other genres, well that's nice, but it's also totally irrelevant to the thread topic: is trap the most influential sub-genre in hip-hop history?
