Modern day trap music vs 90s old school west coast gangster rap

[JuvenileHell]

West coast gangster rap by light years. Most trap music is garbage.

 

[Danie84]

Comparing Ol School West Coast Gangsta Hip-Hop to Trap music is egregious

 

[King Poetic]

Come on son... there's no comparison.. West Side all day and night

It's like comparing the Lakers to the Hawks

 

[mbewane]

Trap is hardly"music" tbh, so it's an unfair comparison.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

this thread is gonna separate the idiots from those who have actual musical sensibilities. G-Funk is the most melodic incarnation of rap music we have seen. "Trap" is exactly as one of the previous posters put it: repetitive, boring fluff.

Trap used to be about the hood n shyt. Now white girls dance to it and say it's their favorite subgenre

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Lol @ comparing the brand of rap that made hip hop permanent, to a sub culture of atlanta rap

Ti, Jeezy, Gucci > anything that came out of the G Funk era

 

[cleanface coney]

based on impact west coast would win

but other than that....beats,rappers,swag,videos,...trap is the winner

Chicago Drill Rap >>>>>>>> West Coast Gangster Rap...

The Drill formula is so basic and authentic that almost any drill rapper with charisma can shine on a good drill beat...I am listening to Drill songs from unknown street dudes and they all still capture that savagery very well....Some do it better than others, but in general, the formula is very catchy and produces a lot of consistency in quality, if you are into that kind of music...

West Coast G Funk on the other hand did NOT consistently produce high quality product...Let's be honest, Death Row was teh only camp producing high grade quality product, the other stuff was just wack to be honest...Now, if you are hardcore G Funk follower, I understand that you may feel differently..But for me, I liked Dre, I liked Snoop, and I liked Daz and Kurupt but only when Dre and Snoop were on the same track or beat...I didn't care too much about Above The Law, DJ Quik (I still think he is type wack till this day, he may be technically a good producer in terms EQ, Compression, Levels and such, but I am not feeling the vibe)...

Just my opinion...

I agree

Deathrow is the ONLY camp with listenable g funk music

the rest is

Trap ''music'' is garbage... and I used the term ''music'' looseley here.

Just my opinion...

if you're just talking strictly G Funk, there really weren't any "weak" G Funk albums...

Warren G, Coolio,The Dove Shack, Twinz, Brutha Lynch Hung etc. all had great g funk albums.... they somewhat get overlooked/underrated because of how Death Row defined what G Funk was.

but what you're arguing are two very different things... West Coast Gangsta Rap...and G Funk are two different things.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Y'all know there is a difference between G Funk, and just straight up West Coast Gangsta rap.....right?

This...But if G funk includes pac
