What year did we as black folk become obsessed with everything Trap?

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"

I’m the mid 2000’s there used to be a “Hood Mart” at the corner of Metropolitan (Stewart ave) and University ave that sold mixtapes, XXL Tall tee’s, and blunt wraps lol. That whole Jeezy trap era had all kinds of dumb shyt popping up.

I got shot at just driving down one of the cross streets, one night, trying to go get some late night p*ssy. There was no way in hell I was going in that store lol. The apartments that were next door to them were gutter as fukk too.

I went to Greenbrair Mall back in Spring of 2008.

I almost gotten into 2 fights in an hour by some bum dudes, and many of them broads looking extra ratchet with the makeup n all.

Was about to say this, but you off.

T.I. it was there, but Jeezy really started trap with Thug Motivation 101. Gucci added onto it. Add in BMF and there's your trap era

I would say 2015 when Thug, Migos and Future was on fire

Yea DS2 was really the tipping point

I feel like every city had at least one of these stores selling the same shyt... but naming it HOOD MART is just over the top

Shocked how that mall exists in ATL. Looks like a mall you see in Memphis or something.
