Similarities of Trap and other rap sub-genres?

[IllmaticDelta]

Trap has been mainstream for more than half a decade now
I don't think people realize it's more than some isolated sub genre
It's wildly popular and pop music is infatuated with it
you'd be hard pressed to find a popular album without 808 elements

exactly why the sound won't easily die off

The elements of trap been here since No Limit/Three Six Mafia,Cash Money. The 808s..stuttering hi hats..synth combo been around in southern gangsta rap almost two decades.

The basic Trap sound doesn't have Dubstep in it



a little further back when it was still Crunk'ish






it's the other way around for modern Dubstep which is why and how it came back on the scene after it died in the mainstream years ago. Dubstep and Grime guys hopped on the Trap sound.

Don't let Illmaticdelta hear you say that.
