A few things:
1. I think the term you are looking for is Trap Beats, not Jeezy Beats
2. This guy is trying to sell them loop packs with the enthusiasm of them nikkas who be trying to sell you some pyramid scheme shyt
3. He is making a beat from a loop with multiple sounds in it where he has access to control the pitch and mute/unmute each individual sound. That is essentially a shortcut to making beats. All he has to do is add percussion. The hard part (constructing the melody) has already been done. It's even easier than sampling, because when you sample, you can't control every sound that is in the sample. You have to use advanced mixing techniques to "bring out" or "reel in" certain instruments.
4. That beat was not a "banger" as he called it. The drums, and particularly the snare, was really weak for a trap beat.
5. People like to shyt on trap producers, but that shyt is not easy as people make it seem. The concept is easy, but the actual execution of the concept takes skill. I make sample based beats, but making a trap shyt has always been a little difficult to me. I can make some trap type shyt, but not on the level of Lex Luger, Zaytoven, Young Chop, etc... It's not my style of producing, but I respect the skill involved in making it.
In closing, just because you have a lot of 18 year old kids who have mastered FL Studios and can bang out Trap Beats at a high rate doesn't mean that it is easy. They had to put in work and hone their craft, some just pick it up faster than others, and many never pick it up at all. I challenge anyone who thinks it's easy to break out your Machine/MPC or download FL and give it a shot.
If you are gonna use multiple instrument loop packs to make a beat, then you essentially are co-producing some shyt. Not to say it's wrong to do so, but I don't think you have the right to brag about how easy some shyt is when you basically have someone holding your hand/doing half of the work for you. It's like bragging about how easy it is to dunk, when you playing on an 8 foot goal
good post. i aint a producer but hearing some of the shyt dudes like Southside, Young Chop, Paris Beuller and shyt have made...no way that shyt easyA few things:

The same skill used in making any other type of beats. Coming up with melodies, meshing sounds together that compliment each other and don't clash, coming up with drum patterns that make your head nod, creating that "bounce" These guys are innovative as fukk. A true mark of skill is when you make something looks easy, but in actuality it's not. A lot of people think that it's easy because a lot of the melodies these guys use are simple. But the Trap genre has a lot of creativity, so much so, that people already started raping the culture with this EDM shyt.
And don't forget, these trap beats are mostly 100% original, which means that every melody was created by them. This is coming from a sample based producer, I don't even fukk with Trap, but I would be a hater to not recognize the skill involved. It's not easy coming up with original melodies like that, especially multiple ones that blend together well, no matter how "simple" they are. An these guys are good at arranging their beats too. They know how to create anticipation, build up certain parts, have people waiting for that "drop" Trap producers are talented as hell.

nikkas was really out here thinking trap beats hard to make? Why you think every goofy wit a laptop go the trap route, shyt is elementary the only "difficult" part is coming up with and blending melodies

Its simple to make loops yourself. Can you arrange is the question.

Naw, I'm straight. I'm not about to go back and forth with you on this dumb shyt. You can keep your opinion and I will keep mine. I can tell you one of them lil silly nikkas. You got it.
I wasn't trying to punk you. I'm genuinely interested to know what trap beats you find creative. You said there's skill involved, and I want to know where that skill/creativity is. Maybe I can learn something new.

But I explained to you why the process of creating Trap beats was creative and required skill. For the sake of not regurgitating the same points, I'll advise you to read that post again. I don't care to do a research assignment and actually pull certain beats which I feel are creative and post them because you could easily dismiss them as being not creative. Then we will start arguing semantics leading to a rabbit hole of nothingness and find ourselves going in circles.
Creativity is entirely subjective. Skill can be highly subjective, especially in regards to art. That's why I outlined the process instead of focusing on specific compositions. I think we would both agree that producing music is a talent. How much talent involved is debatable. I believe if you respect the skill or think there is creativity for any other type of Hip Hop producer, then that same credence must be led to producers of the Trap Sub Genre. What takes more skill, digging for a sample, chopping it up, and adding percussion, or creating multiple melodies manually, and adding percussion? It's like 2 people with different jump shots, they both going in, but one nikka shoots like Stephen Curry ("Real Hip Hop") and the other one shoots like Shawn Marion (Trap Music) No matter how ugly or unorthodox the other way is, it's still achieving the same thing as the more traditional way (which in this case is making music people enjoy, cherish, respect, attempt to emulate, and play)
