so whats the earliest trap style beat?

[DrX]

was there anything with this sound before this

Off topic: Never liked the beat; too repetitive — DeVante Swing is capable of more.

I don't like such revisionist narratives... Lex Lugers "trap sound" followed Shawy Redds sound. I think of an aesthetic continuum in regards to production.

Are we forgetting that the skeletons of trap music were laid down by Mannie Fresh??
