when you see a movie trailer with a corny white family walking in slow mo and one of the family members puts some shades on to some trap music, you will know that it is only downhill from there.

Reminded me of this

That Trapsoul joint sounds like Young Thug slow songs half the time. In one track he's definitely trying to channel is inner YT.

I be dam if Miley and Lady Gaga make trap music :rudy: this nikka trying make it all bout the beats when it aint...

Musically speaking, it's about the beats/music. The same way Trip Hop is based in/off Jazz Rap/Boom Bap Rap musically but without the same lyrical content.

I really thought cloud rap had a chance to turn into something bigger but the rappers in the genre were nothin more than indie darlings (except Asap Rocky). The sound of trap music has evolved compared to what Shawty Redd & Drumma Boy was doing in the mid 00's. Lex Luger took what they done took to it to another level and that style got ran into the ground quick lol. Metro Boomin & London added other characteristics to their trap style beats making them standout. Beat makers already caught on, using what they did in their shyt (Like at Goose for example). Being a beatmaker myself....I can make those beats. Its not that hard but I'll rather standout and try to cook up something new but its tough. Theres not too many new sounds you can make under the trap music umbrella.

Trap Soul - Has already been done. Bryson Tiller ain't doing shyt new.
Trap Jazz - Already heard Jazz samples backed with an 808 kit. Kendrick Lamar's Alright being the famous one.
Trap rock - Tech N9ne rapped on trap style beats with electric guitars. Worldwide chopper's is an example.
Trap Pop - Is currently being used by edm producers and pop singers. Katy Perry, Lorde, Miley Cyrus and AlundraGeorge are examples. On the indie pop side, groups like Purity Ring are the using sounds to make fluff ass music.

Trap Edm - Already been done and is getting oversaturated.
I think I even heard a country song with 808 snares/hi-hats somewhere... :russ:
The sound ain't going anywhere. Its global. Even dudes in Asia are making trap music inspired by OG Maco.:wow:


I think I also heard Dancehall-Trap and HipLife/Afrobeats-Trap hybrids

it's not dying, if anything, it's stronger than ever

Well, it should die and that pop edm genre of electronic trash needs to die along with it. Two predictable boring uninspired wack music genres that I wouldnt miss.

the influence is everywhere which is why it's going to take a while before it dies down:yeshrug:






The resurgence of Uk Grime is directly tied to it's Trap music influences

It should have been Britain's answer to hip-hop – and just as influential. Why didn't it happen – and is this finally its moment?




The second coming of grime

Trap wont die, it'll just spread onto the next genre.

We already got trap r&b, trap pop and trap EDM.

It's only a matter of time before Trap Jazz, Trap n Roll, Country trap (although I believe that's already in the works) gospel trap and by the end of the next decade they'll be trap poetry slams.

There will be no escape from the trap.:birdman:


Unless you go deaf.:ld:

But then what about trap sign language?:jbhmm:
Gospel trap is already in breh
