I Never Liked You:

The hoes love it

The streets love it

It bangs in the whip

not a bad answer.

i would post the sgp video review of WLR where he goes into this, the "hood" vs "suburb" dynamic. i see posttrap overcoming the purist vs tourist thing into what i call metropolitanism, which is a culture of plurality instead of insularism. exploitation without betrayal, an extension of all cultures involved instead of strip mining

i think we knew three years in that Flockaveli would not be touched in the 2010s. although because theres some argument that it's a 2009 album (in that case im saying almighty so as aotd 2010s)

i think its reasonable that an album released in the first half of the decade would define the sound of that decade.

need trap a holic bit on this s*** please keep posting

Expand on how Post trap is "colonial"

Whole Lotta Red

i think sgp deleted his video (of what i think was an IG stream reaction) because he's sgp but a lot of it was discussing his ambivalence at colonialist "suburban" post-[] dynamics, and brought up direct influences from carti's cribbing from NY (jim jones) and atl (young thug).

We only two years into the decade.

post-trap is a term i invented to describe music that is definitely not trap (formalist southern hip hop about selling d****) but uses the markers of trap music as touchstones for pop songwriting, commonly fusing them with other sounds and traditions as they please. the content is removed from that of trap in the same way that a colonial power is removed from the extracted cultural resources of the colonized. white boys yelling slatt &ct. These artists are not in the streets nor do they pretend as such as context for their music. I would consider travis scott, ilovemakkonen and awful records as early forerunners in the genre. proto-post-trap is stuff like the free gucci tapes, which had artists remixing gucci purely as aesthetic exercise datpiff.com/Gucci-Mane-Diplo-Presents-Free-Gucci-Best-Of-The-Cold-War-M-mixtape.158038.html

the post-[] prefix i got from the critical understanding of post rock, which is described as music "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures rather than riffs and power chords".

throw one out there

edit: or don't, s*** i didn't

this is the level im at

Appreciate ur explanation think I get u but don't think WLR is a good example using that definition of post trap

Musically yeah it's taking elements from trap and putting them in a new context like post rock does but Cartis rapping about street s*** on the record, dissing people, shouting out Homixide etc

I guess you could say hes exaggerating and using that for aesthetic, and he does use a lot of pop tropes but I think the albums doing more sonically than lyrically in terms of going post trap. Idk though what do u think

not saying carti doesnt have street ties, but his music is not about that. his work as an artist is about fusing disparate styles more so than evolution of trap sounds in the formalist tradition of the genre like future. im not saying that trap as a genre doesnt still exist nor is any less fiercely experimental or formalist.
