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 agree

A lot of former bad things, like tricking, stripping, scamming, and mumbling, became mainstream to black culture and it harmed us in ways that some claim that we will NEVER recover from. Before the mid 00s, those things were forbidden on the street level in the east coast and you were treated like a damn child molester if you engaged in those activities. The south came in, and murder she wrote.

Once they came in, you could literally see all the intellectualism evaporate out of hip hop.

Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
I bet most if not all that shyt is in Atlanta


Mostly the only place I’ve seen with black people obsessed with the “trap”


Now if we’re talking about music, I think more white people are obsessed with it than we are/were. There’s a whole trap genre
This. I never heard black people anywhere outside of Atlanta talking about trap this or trap that.

Yes; which is why the youth is so fukked up
The youth fukked up because they’re growing up in an era where 70% don’t have a dad in the home, their mothers are struggling to make ends meets, the education system failed them, their communities have failed them, all while the US economy is becoming the most competitive it has been in decades.

The American Dream is dead for a lot these black kids. Reducing it to rappers is lazy.
