Why Is Gucci Mane Always Brought Up Alongside T.I and Jeezy When Talking About The Inception Of Trap Muzik/Bringing It To The Forefront

[Manolo]

nikka you are slow. You talking like he got them 50 million views the moment he dropped the video. And the artist he inspired was AFTER the time period in question.

Gucci was influential in Atlanta by the time that video dropped in 2007. That song was huge when it came out

You honestly sound like you were just a casual rap fan who only listened to radio and watched MTV. And to that type of fan, especially outside the south and/or the trenches, Gucci wasn’t lit until he went mainstream in 2009 when Flocka blew up. That’s why you think that way

No nikka YOU a casual fan. Because you have surface level talking points, thats what casuals do. Instead of dissecting the minutiae of things, they just point superficial shyt/grab the the low hanging fruit; like what yall doing now. Im well versed in this shyt. Try that shyt with somebody else

nikka tried to call me a casual fan but he from the fukking south its more causals fans there than anywhere, and not just in hip hop/

So you admit you lost and had no argument in the first place?

And in other places he WASNT. That goes both ways. Tip was a factor EVERYWHERE. LOLOLOL go to bed dawg

If Trap started in the south and Gucci was a factor in the south where it started at the time it started, to say he wasn't a factor when he was one of the two first people doing it in the region it started and he was the most influential is utterly retarded my boy.

The origins of trap music sonically stem from three 6 mafia ——>

Which progressed into the crunk era w/ lil jon and the eastside boyz, ying yang twins and lil scrappy etc. ——->

Then in came gucci mane and jeezy from ‘05-‘10 when the sub genre really came into its inception (s/o zaytoven and drumma boy… they progressed the 3-6 music theory and created the OG trap sound) ——>

Waka Flocka and drops Flockaveli in fall 2010 and changes mainstream hip hop forever (s/o lex luger and 808 mafia… everybody wanted this sound after this project dropped iykyk)


T.I. is on my Mt. Rushmore for southern rappers but he gets WAAAAAYYYY too much credit for “starting” trap music. The album itself sounded like a contemporary southern rap album of it’s time and there wasn't anything sonically innovative about it. (Which is OK)

The way I see it I think UGK deserves more credit than Tip for more the inception of Trap Music (only subject matter wise)

Youre an idiot and I hope you have fun with the new V-Tech Imma send you. You cant read, write, type, you probably have ZERO coordination.

Three 6 Mafia is/was crunk. Not trap. Yall need to stop this shyt.

So Icy and Go Head came out in 05 with his debut album
nikka talking about 09

 

[LOOPY]

*Tip came with the content/lyrics

*Jeezy came with the sound

*Gucci combined the two later on

*I understand what OP is trying to say.

*Also 21 Savage is clearly very inspired by Tip.

*Everyone here is right and wrong. Gucci is overrated in terms of influence. His influence is the Zaytoven sound that Future ran with and the flow that Chief Keef n em ran up.

Elements of crunk were taken by the producers I named and many more and were tweaked to create the trap sound

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Gucci was that nikka down South long before 09. You can't mention trap without him

Thats doesnt make Three 6 trap. This is a prime example of conflating things and trying to change the the dynamics of the preliminary because of what came after which is silly. Lex being a trap producer doesnt make Paul and Juicy in 96 trap producers

Thats not what I said, nor is that what this is about about.
