When Chicago built a trap-scene, its artists called it Drill

[Big Mel]

somehow i managed to avoid both trap & EDM without even trying.

Its a generational thing. Those kids been raised in the trap music era. The old Chi sounded similar to old NY with the boom bap and all. The New Chi Town sounds like an ATL offspring.

i disagree, and how you post celly cell when the beatr is jacked from keith sweat is beyond me. 415 had some NWA sounding shyt i guess, but they're hardly the representative sound from that era in the bay

this type of mob music is way more representative of bay music in that era
11/5 - The ''Nade" - YouTube


and in any case, i was talking about more recent sounds

for knowin about 11/5. I grew up on them nyggaz. 11/5, UDI, Cold World Hustlas and the whole Kill a Hoe Click! Hunters Point stand up! 11/5's "Fiendin 4 the funk" and A-1 yola are bay classics

there's absolutely no way that sound is going to get into rap. its too 'happy' and the melodies dont go with rapping about killing and selling dope.

edm trap has a happy vibe because suburban kids are happy, live in a happy world. drill/trap sound is dark and grimey. music comes from the soul, and neither of those 2 can really cross each other.

i do find it annoying they bit the name tho. but this isn't like the old days, we all know where the name and sound came from, we have the internet, information is raced across the country within a few minutes.

its odd because when the 'trap' edm shyt first started, it was more influencd by tripple six, and other south nikkas, then in a month or 2, shyt just transformed into something lamer than i thought it would be.

the slang word 'trap' in itself has had a weird sideways transformation from being pimpin related to no drug money

 

[JasonSJackson]

thats not trap music.....its hitta (killa) music....there's a difference

Well, Not every rapper from chicago sounded like NY/eastcoast.

You had guys like twista and do or die, crucial conflict, psychhodrama etc who had their own distinct style on the westsdie

And if you REALLY want to go back then you have the Hip-house nikkas in the 80's-90's who rapped over house tracks.

But yeah alot of older chicago rapper were NY influenced (common, vakil, ec illa etc)

Lol you talking about this video?


I wonder if KRS actually dissed em back cause he went in
I'm younger so I only remember the tail end of the hiphouse/ghetto house era before it turned into just juke music.

AS far as Bump J though, It's fukked up that he wasn't able to do some big things because dude had Kanye and Rick James cosigning em, was on everyother video game and even had his song of the fukking McDOnalds commercial!

And I'd say he sorta influenced the new drill music
