Who's ready for boom bap, soul and jazz sampling to replace trap?

Ya'll have been saying this every year for the past however many years. And then the "trap" sounds evolves and rinse-repeat. People been saying Trap was dead since Lex Luger's original run ended and now "trap" beats got eloquent flute solos and soul samples and shyt and is more versatile and popular than ever :russ:

You can't replace what's permanent and they work beautifully when combined.
The hybridization is the future.
Not fake "goldlink" or "drake" hybridization, but something natural a kid made in his bedroom to share with the world...it's happening now while you lament a time that never really was.

VA wasn't part of the southern rap map until recently.
NC, too.
That's "up south" tidewater music, not Atl supercharged with Cincinnatti money, NY genius, Miami dope/beats, Memphis beats and fertile land.

Call it what you want.

Them dudes bridged the gap for Tristate artist and extended their shelf life.

I been said a rap scene is only good as their producers and the Tristate will never have first dibs again when other regions have always been more invested in the actual musicality/rhythm of music.

These "NY resurrection" threads are nothing more than pining and well wishing.

Facts, but that's because the new wave gets duplicated and spreads immediately. Someone is always saying "Trap is dead!" and then what defines trap changes and runs the charts again. A song like "Mask Off" sounds nothing like "Hard in da Paint" but both have been considered the standard trap sound that people are supposedly tired of. That's the problem with this repeat statement. I'm sure people call "Black Beatles" trap, too, as well as "Bad and Bujee" but they sound nothing like each other.

The stupidity of this "trap is dead!" shyt is that trap isn't a definition of a sound. It can't be, as that definition applies to so many different things. Trap is just a byword for contemporary southern black culture, and because of that, trap will never die as the southern sound will remain the dominant sound in hip-hop forever.

VA was def part of the southern rise/wave/takeover even going back to the later 90's. Remember, it was Timbo who was most influential in bringing that southern bounce to NYC/Tristate area, rap.
