Trap Music is getting Stale/wack

[dora_da_destroyer]

trap has always been like 99% trash, then there is that 1 trap song comes on and makes you

Pretty much, trap songs are given 30 seconds - if I'm not feeling it I move on.

Trap itself isn't getting stale to me, but every song now is inspired by trap music and it's tiresome. Even that weird ass trap infused R&B that Tiller, Dolla Sign and all those type of singers do. There's very little variety in today's hip hop.

some of the beats are the best part of the song, but majority of the rappers can't rap to it or don't have the skill to ride them shyts.

so when we were complaining about trap in 2010/2011, y'all loved that bullshyt?

Comments like this are weird to me. We've BEEN talking about trap being stale. The funny thing is that trap has actually improved big time thanks to guys like Metro Boomin. Trap's better in the last 2-3 years than it's ever been.

and if you wanna talk innovative, listen to Savage Mode. Been telling y'all "No Advance" is one of the strongest songs of last year.

Exactly. I swear the shyt is like contagious. The thing that kills me about trap is that it's not pleasant on the soul. It drains the living shyt out of you when you constantly bump the tunes. There's no substance, no value, or anything. I tried bumping this new wave called "future sound", and it was just trap with a higher pitch of melody. I miss the days where r and b was strictly soothing with a bit of hard tracks far and between. Nowadays, it's either getting fukked up, sexed up, or both.

Water is wet.

I miss the days of grimey trap though. Beats that had different musical tones and lit drum patterns ala Shawty Red and DJ Toomp. Yet, it's all tick tick tick, *insert typical 808*, tick tick titititititick, monotone melodies and so forth.

fukking boring I tell you

All of these producers are using the same presets, vst packs, and programs. Its too obvious.

Trap should mix up with footwork music, that'd be cool

Seems like the only people trying to expand it are vulture ass dj's for festival sets but they always make it sound so tacky in an edm vein

Pretty much. Nowadays, it's easy to get put on. Just download a "Metro Boomin' soundpack", look at a YouTube video, pirate FL Studios, and you on deck. There's no innovation to the shyt. I frankly would want a trapping version of boom bap. Hell, atleast Lil Jon tried to switch up his Crunk style on Crunk Juice.

Trap was never lit though, it was a fringe fad great for kids with no talent. with a keyboard and autotune anyone could make a youtube hit.

I feel this song right here is a good example of trying to switch up a trap themed beat.



A perfect balance

stick to what you know, which is memes

The trap shyt is slowly dying.

So true. I waw mixing trap and footwork for a while back when I was making mixes then stopped.

Kode 9 and Addison Groove did that shyt. But that pretty much goes back to the point you were making about thw only people trying to expand the trap sound ar hipster tastemaker vulture ass DJs. They aint trap producers..the aforementioned are dubstep producers from the UK. I give them a pass...but i dont give many passes lol.

I had to rep cause this is on point. Whatever happened to producers in rap having uniue style? And those youtube tutorial videos where randoms teach you how to sound like Sonny Digital are criminal...and the sample packs.

Back to what @Uitomy said it seems only electronic producers are trying to expand the trap sound while rap producers are stuck in limbo and fearing innovation for fear of alienation.
