Nah those nikkas are dying out,Migos making it hard on these trap nikkas to be garbage
One day yall gon look back on Migos and thank them for the positive impact they had on hiphop,Migos shifting the game like people thought j cole,drake and Kendrick was supposed to do
Trap aint never goin nowhere,trap is just modernized mobb music/gfunk....so how something that been around since damn near the beggining of hiphop,and has always had a audience,just gon up and dissapear?
Trap is the longest lasting sub genre of them all in hiphop.
Remember, Fifty once had 2 #1 albums and a slew of #1 hits. Even that couldn't prevent the end of East coast street rap in the mainstream.
With the likes of Kodak Black dissing Wayne, The Migos reaching #1 hit songs, and all that, the only place for them to go....is down.
We seen what happened to Dipset after they dropped Ballin back in August 06....or Three 6 After winning that oscar. Or Death Row after Pac death after he got mad album sales.

Pac still had mad album sales when he was still alive when All Eyes on Me got released 5 million within a few weeks.
Yeah, and when Pac died, the west dominance died with him.
At this point, the south in terms of arrogance has gotten too big. They forgot to study history and see how pride comes right before the fall. They may be gassed up right now with trap songs hitting #1, but they think that it's gonna last forever.
I would argue,East coast street rap died because they didnt make trap music.
To say trap music is DYING would be to basically say gangsta rap is going to die,and i dont see that ever happening at least not permanantly...just think about it,Eazy E was a trap rapper breh....i cant think of a time trap music hasnt been around....at worst it will change location and take on a different form,but die
? The mistake is not realizing this curent form of trap music falls under the same umbrella as what nikkas like Eazy E,E-40,Master P,8ball MJG was giving us....trap music that we seeing right now aint a whole new sub genre....long as nikkas got cars and clubs exist,we gon need the sound that is synonomous with "trap"....and the subject matter that goes along with trap aint goin nowhere either bro.

Most hits in Rap since the 80's don't have strong lyricism anyways, and is pretty much surface level. This is how most songs in every genre are written regardless. You think every rapper in the 00's had hit songs with the endless depths in Lupe's lyricism?
That was the 50 Cent/Gucci/Kanye-era of songwriting hit songs for the most part.
Hit songs ain't gonna be having bars, stories and concepts, that formula in Rap remains.

Even if not, but why be content with the lowest common denominator in music? It's like the more rushed tracks and incomplete mixed it is, the more people like it. Quantity will never replace quality.

Real trap is expanding to the point of being the new international soundbed/standard for production.
The EDM cac offshoot isn't even doing what the drill influence has done all over the globe. Violence is the language of the downtrodden. Low frequencies excite people. (808s) Military drums excite people. (hi hat and snare rolls)
Minor chords put you in a state of tension. (zaytoven, chop, metro)
It's powerful. It's easy to get good at, it's loud. It ain't going anywhere.
At the same time in music form.
I went off on what I said about you in that thread about California, but damn I see how wrong I was for misjudging you. nikkas actually showing music theory knowledge?
I saw this Marley Marl video and it's sublime how 808's haven't changed AT ALL decades later
, so why are East Coast nikkas saying Trap will die soon when their city made all this happen in production?I always wondered if East Coast were responsible for that too, I'm just saying Southern
Trap is that region's illegitimate b*stard grandchild now. Think of Marl doing slapping ass beats with Trap influences, with the Boom Bap he already perfected.

Trap not going anywhere. Jury is out whether that's a good or bad thing.
