A few things:

1. I think the term you are looking for is Trap Beats, not Jeezy Beats:francis:

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:pachaha:

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:francis:
That breakdown....
:ehh:

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.

All I'm saying is: why not provide an example to illustrate your point, especially if someone seems genuinely interested in learning something new?

I'm asking because you seem to know trap more than I do. Examples would help.

I agree that it's hard as hell to come up with your own melodies from scratch (assuming they're interesting/unique). Just because it's trap doesn't mean something automatically sucks 100% of the time.
