Done.
Nah.
Trap is not going anywhere. The 00s really made it so. I really think when dubstep became popular around 2007-2009 and DJs started mixing those southern rap records with it that's when "trap" as a subgenre in the "EDM" world became materialized and that's pretty much another musical mainstream representation of that sound other than what's on the radio in rap. This was around 2008-2011. Materialized really in 2012. In that regard, those artists are killing themselves and the genre by pumping out 1000s of songs that sound the same.
As far as rap producers, the southern sound has really been dominant for over a decade. This generation of kids grew up with Dipset, Lil John, Crunk, all of that. I don't see that going away. I don't see a return to boom bap at all...that's over and been over. That generation don't feel that stuff. I hear trap all the time. It's just going to get more bass heavy...more neo-hyphy (DJ Mustard) and more future/techno/goa trance/trap on a commercial/club level.
Rap has become techno now. And since techno originated in the black community and the largest black community is in the south it was more than natural that it would return to prominence there.

Powerfull posting. And you have to wonder how the bboys and graf artist and keepers of the 5 elements feel in the midst of this cultural takeover. Strangers in their own homeland.
@ boom bap being wack to the young kids. Problem is that the strip club and car culture done infiltrated all the regions and homogenizing them. Straight up brainwashing people with wack artists and beats that make hoes shake their ass.
nikkas in here. It's so many alternatives you nikkas can turn to right now that trap shouldn't even exist on your radar. All these corny safe Joey Badass,Chance The Rapper,Macklemore,Kendrick,Cole,Big Sean,Drake,Tyga,Wale ass nikkas are for you. If you a old nikka that's stuck in the 90's, listen to the old shyt it's just that simple.
