The end is near. Recently I have seen artist and A+R's alike flat out say they don't want anymore trap beats when they are requesting beats from producers. It's sort of messed up to because so many of these producers entire sound is based solely off of the trap sound. That's literally all they know how to make.

yea its slowly dying off especially with the rise of TDE and A$AP. Cheif Keef might be the last new trap artists.

Trap Music only comes from atlanta, and atlanta only.

other rappers might use them beats, but it aint trap music unless ATL nikkas is rapping bout ATL shyt on them.

Alot of trap producers come from other states outside of georgia tho(Zaytoven,drumma boy, Lex Luger)

How hasn't it faded. Do you see trap artists selling? Aside from Ross and Jeezy, trap nikkas don't sell. They get love in the streets, but the biggest artists like Jayz and kanye aren't trap.

he didn't, them beats were actually way better.

Young Chop beats, sound like pre-made loops matched over one another, sometimes his 808's ain't even in right key, shyt sounds horrid
who said anything about either of them being better? just said that the sound has changed

believe you mean shoegaze friend :cook:

the problem with it is that it usually has way too much drums in. I got like a gig of cocteau twins music and can't find a way to flip most of it. but when I do :mj:

Because hiphop at its essence is party music

The trap beats and hooks that go with them are best for clubs and parties

Shoegaze, yeah, my bad lol


But yeah, I bet that shyt is hard to sample :whew: especially the drums. I always thought it would be easier to flip the melody tho of the guitars or something. And chop it up or loop it on some Kno or Premo type shyt. :mjpls: That would be FIRE as fukk.

As a producer, Im gon have to say it has a lot to do with the overall MOOD that trap beats set. Ya'll keep labeling these types of beats as "trap", even when the nikkas on the track aren't even talking about trappin' (ex. I Dont Like). On every single beat you can rap about cocaine to, you can also rap about any subjects with a darker feel, like murder, ridin' around the city late at night, nikkas double crossin, etc. Basically anything that happens in the street can be rapped about over a "trap" beat.

Then there's those club bangers with "trap" influences, like No Hands, Racks on Racks, Cash Out, etc. These beats have all the same "trap sounds" that a typical trap record would have, but the producers arranged the melodies on these club tracks in a way that makes the mood go from daunting and provocative, to friendlier and more positive.

When I make a beat with some hard hitting bass, some hi hats, synths, strings, and horns, ya'll gon label it as trap and figure it aint shyt, but to me that beat is theme music for when you hop in the whip with the homies and its 1:00am and you just ridin around.
