T.I. Speaks On Trap Music Genre, Says He Created It
By Rose Lilah Posted Dec 18, 2012 at 12:08pm
T.I. gets heated when discussing not getting recognition for creating an entire genre of music with his second studio album, "Trap Musik."
T.I.'s new album, Trouble Man, officially dropped today, and affirmed that T.I.'s self-dubbed title "King of the South" is quite accurate. The ATL rapper visited Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 to promote the LP and chop it up, and he got a little heated when talking about Trap Music, a genre he claims was created by himself, but without due recognition.
T.I.'s second studio album, which was received much more favorably than his first effort, was titled Trap Musik. As Tip talked to Funkmaster Flex, he started to go in on the general "you" who thinks they are better than the Kang. He rejects this, and then explains how he created the genre of Trap Music with his album of the same name (although slightly different spelling).
"With the exception of Outkast, let me think, Goodie Mob... with the exception of that, before I came in the game, it was Lil Jon, Outkast, Goodie Mob, okay so you had Crunk Music and you had Organized Noise. There was no such thing as Trap Musik, I created that, I created that. I coined the term, it was second album, it dropped in 2003. After that, there was an entire new genre of music created. An open lane for each of you to do what you do, and live your lives, on T.V., and be accepted by the masses. The masses have accepted you 'cause I opened the door and you walked through it. Don't forget who opened that door cuz."
T.I. has quite the conversation with Flex, you can listen to all three parts of it below. He discusses repping ATL, coming home from prison, being the King of the South and more.

it's been like this..yall need to stop with these "romantic ideals" about HOT 97 and the rap industry
FACTS only two words should come to mind when thinking about HOT 97 and it aint HIP HOP
it's EMMIS BROADCASTING the parent company of HOT 97 as well as WBLS and about a thousand other radio stations across the country......
so it shouldn't suprise you why the playlist SOUNDS just like every other playlist around the country...
REPETITIVE and UNORIGINAL
im an OG i was raised on hot 97 during it's inception in 1993, and although it was a "great idea" and very inspiring it was still at the end of the day
A BUSINESS........and just like any other business ...culture takes a BACKSEAT
it never really broke artists...with the exception of shows like FUTURE FLAVAS by MARLEY MARL and PETE ROCK and the XL SHOW by STRETCH ARMSTRONG both of which were cancelled to make room for more repitititive commercial acts........
hell i remember when NYC underground sensation Thirston Howell blasted Funk Flex during the southern explosion led by Master P. followed up by Cash Money..............and looking back Howell wasn't just being anti-south ...he was highlighting the fact that Flex took time to spotlight artists from other reasons simply cause of ther Buzz and $$$ (commercial backing) while ignoring the wealth of NYC talent that had to find other outlets such as the mixtapes i.e (j-love, clue) and underground stations like 89 TEC 9 (WKCR) and WNWK with Hank Love/DNA and Awesome two....
and it came to light during the "payola investigations" by Attorney Gen. Spitzer of New York years later that Flex and hot 97 was taking bribes.........
basically if a new york artist wasn't on a big commercial platform like BAD BOY, Loud Records, Def Jam etc. guys like Flex or the hot 97 wasn't pushing them as much...
also EMMIS BROADCASTING took advantage of the distrubing TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT that BILL CLINTON had passed in like 96 which basically DESTROYED black radio and college and indy radio as a whole...it allowed conglomerates like EMMIS, RADIO 1 , CLEAR CHANNEL and others to OWN AS MANY RADIO STATIONS as they want with no accountibility to the LOCAL COMMUNITIES THEY MARKETED TO..so you have all these carbon copy commercial radio stations taking "payola" to play the same commercial shyt...while the LOCAL SOUND GETS IGNORED AND DESTROYED.....
so it's always been about the numbers...but what do you expect when the guy who first jumpstarted HOT 97 so-called "hip hop" format looks like this:
lol...this "van halen" looking mofo is the one who gave Funk Flex his first job and also started the SUMMERJAM festival...............
so what is thier to talk about ??..........
RZA said back in 1997 .....hot 97 is the place where HIP HOP DIES
and HE WASN'T LYING

Because when done right, radio can be a great resource to the community.

so can newspapers
But in 2015 radio can't give you anything you can't get faster and uncut on other mediums.
