What year did we as black folk become obsessed with everything Trap?
- Thread starter Standing on business
- Start date
Around 2016 as the guy above me suggested. Its cringe as fukk.
Nah, earlier than that. Like by 2008 when Jeezy was ending his crazy run and Gucci Mane was coming up.
That was when black culture up north was obsessed with ATL slang and trends, and named everything "trap"

when keef first came out
Trap music was definitely heavy in 08. But we weren’t surrounding every activity we do around it at that time.
By Summer 2005, anything east coast related was bushed for Trap shyt from Jeezy, TI, and Gucci Mane. That was when people stopped with boom bap and pushed trap snares on beats. On top of strip clubs strangely gaining popularity in the Northeast in the mainstream.
That’s not trap. What Keef did is 10x more detrimental to black peoplewhen keef first came out
2015-2016
I remember seeing an ad for a "trap wine tasting" and I said "nikkas are officially wilding"

Anybody saying anything before 2011 missing what OP is asking. Around 2013 maybe a year or so earlier trappin went from selling drugs in the hoods of ATL to meaning just working hard hustling or grinding. Then it ended up replacing the terms hood/ghetto and we ended up with trap-brunch, trap-yoga ect. The same way in the early 00s a small restaurant would be serving "ghetto punch" or an RNB singer would call a woman his "ghetto queen ". It'll phase out eventually like those did.
