Who made the first Trap Beat?

[The Emperor]

That's what I'm saying, we all have an idea of what it "sounds" like (and its sounds like a whole range of things), but nobody can 'define' it. Or can you?

BMF
In My Crackhouse
Versace

It's this kinda random beat...
It's very untraditional...

 

[The Emperor]

Bricks is a prototype trap beat
Show Out is a prototype trap beat

 

[BigSteve]

so like Three 6 Mafia "Who Run It"?

To a degree...
But Drama's left right would be more like a trap beat...

Let me define it like this...
A trap beat is the type of beat that if you tried to sell it in 2001 people would say "What the fukk is this shyt I'm not buying this shyt"...

Trap beats are every untraditional...

 

[The Emperor]

A trap beat aint a "bring the horns in" type of beat...

It's chaotic by traditional standards...

Man I'm not talking about the content of the song I'm talking about a beat...
I can't really think of a trap beat from No limit... they were doing traditional song structures.

Rare.












Serious answer, probably Three Six Mafia I think.

 

[Larry Lambo]

I gotta go with 3-6. When "trap" first became popular, I was saying it sounded like the old 3-6 sound.

He was my brother's potnah. Dumb nikka went away for a gas station robbery years ago... hell he still might be in.

 

[TransJenner]

Juicy J and DJ Paul have shyt from the early 90s

As a matter of fact...scratch that...Rodney O & Joe Cooley are probably the 1st to put all these elements into one song.
