Yall both right tho. T.I set the stage with the name, but T.I never made what we know as trap music.
nikka you cant change what HE, the FOREFATHER considered trap music just because the sound changed. And Jeezy followed that blueprint because TM 101 and 102 more or less are sonically reminiscent of Trap Muzik, he even enlisted some of the same producers Tip did for Trap Muzik lol what is yall even talking about

I'm not arguing with him anymore he don't know bruh, he probably wasn't around for all they runs. I'm a huge T.I. fan too, always said he was the #1 rapper in tge south over Wayne, but to say he was making trap rap is crazy just because he put out an album called Trap Muzik and a song Dope Boys In The Trap.
Urban legend might be his closest sounds as what we think of when we think of trap music

In terms making it a an actual sub genre and making a whole album out the shyt, thats all Tip. Jeezy put the sub genre on a greater scale (Tip couldn't all by himself) Where the fukk does Gucci come into play here? He wasnt a factor until 2009. What Gucci was doing in the early/mid 2000s had no affect on trap at all.
What a horrible fukking take. You're an idiot

TI wasn’t really making trap music. He was a commercial artist from Atlanta. He had trap songs but I wouldn’t consider him a pioneer of trap at all. Trap Muzik the album actually has very little in common with the trap music sub genre.

Gucci and Jeezy basically birthed trap music as a genre, together, at the same time in the mid-2000s. Zaytoven and Shawty Redd established the trap production style via Gucci and Jeezy’s music from 2005-2009.



This video alone birthed more trap rappers, songs, and videos by itself than anything TI ever made and this was before 2009

Gucci was out during the inception of trap music and was ice cold. But when TI and Jeezy went mainstream he caught fire in the underground and was the biggest thing in the South bar none.

I see the point of what you're saying OP but people will never not give him credit for that hot period and the influence it had afterwards. Even if it esd technically after trap music was already a thing :yeshrug:
These nikkas are clueless and dont know what the fukk they talking about they overshooting Guccis impact in a certain era and rewriting history because of his impact since 2009. And nikkas keep talking about him making all this music lol having an extensive catalog doesnt mean you were a key player, its just means you having extensive catalog. Conflating the two is whats unbelievably stupid. Tip and Jeezy were doing the heavy lifting around this time, Gucci was pedestrian and ice cold

Wtf you on about OP. Gucci been rapping since 2005 :dead:
Are you fukking geniunely stupid or you just being stupid on purpose. Of course he RAPPING nikka but he wasnt on Tip nor Jeezy level at the time, and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as them when discussing who created trap.

Tip was the spearhead, so what he put out was the sound. You trying to change what the sound was during its inception because of dynamics the took place afterwards is just flat out stupid as hell.

Notice nikkas keep bringing fukking catalogs and mixtapes and when Gucci started rapping as opposed to answering WHAT THE fukk DID GUCCI DO IN THE EARLY/MID 2000s FOR TRAP? THEY CANT ANSWER THE fukkING QUESTION.

Why shouldn’t he be mentioned? Just because he wasn’t as mainstream till 2009 you can’t erase his history. Jeezy tried to kill him for his song he wasn’t a nobody

nikka WHAT history? We not talking about trap period, we talking about EARLY/MID 2000s. Why is this so hard for to grasp? What Gucci did in the 2010s got nothing to do with it.

What trap music is known as today worldwide was started by Gucci and Jeezy in the mid-2000s. I just posted a mid-2000s video by Gucci that has 50M views and was viral when it came out in 2006-2007
