if you say the words trap music, most folks will assume you mean the modern definition (deals with the sound), not the original definition (deals with lyrics).

that's all that matters when discussing a definition of a word. what, you think the meaning of a word can't change?

How is this true when up 2 me and wlr are ktt favorite album of the past year

If anything it’s the opposite in my opinion

I’m very late on this it appears but all I gotta say is it’s not hard to identify trap vs people who adopt the contemporary elements into their music, dudes like thug, future, nudy, peewee, etc all have similar origins, did the same strip club circuits, bumping shoulders with Gucci ..it shows in the content of the music even though dudes like thug & future have since evolved tenfold they still draw from that content often that’s the real difference

Just cause majority of people don’t know what it is and are following wat other people who ALSO don’t know what it means doesn’t make the word correct or some new meaning.

2 wrongs don’t make a right. Definitions don’t change. The context of a word can change but you know what I’m not about to discuss language arts.

And it’s funny you didn’t answer my last question NIGGA YOU MAKE DnB and JUNGLE MUSIC… BLACK FOUNDED ART. WHY THE F*** ARE YOU FOLLOWING WHITE PEOPLES OPINIONS AND AGREEING WITH THEM AND SPREADING IT JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE SHEEP

Bro it’s WHITE people that think Trap is superior to everything else lmfao how do you not see this?

Beat Talk from “casuals” is my favorite sub genre of Hip Hop Commentary lol

No way in hell this nigga making DnB music and defending these white critics. Wat the f*** is going on

but those are some of the defining elements of trap music

let’s talk about why “trap” is considered a derogatory term first

Blame Lex Luger

But I see what he means in that the beat style that’s used by lil pump type niggas got mixed up in same category as the music that revolves around that subject matter

I’ve seen it both ways

A lot of people saying Sick! is a downgrade to SRS while using “trap drums” as a complaint

to each their own I personally fw Sick! slightly more than SRS but both are incredible albums

Bc it’s low effort music? That’s literally it’s whole appeal

Post 2010 or so it’s creation is also treated like a trap. niggas just bagging it up and getting it off over and over and over lol.

Saying this as a nigga if that matters bc I see where y’all tryna go with this lol

that one annoyed me

Not the same

Look at how they talk down on something more “traditional” like ds4

definitions are fluid things breh

its not a black or white thing in any sense of the phrase.

look i agree w u that people calling it trap is kinda cringe. i get it, it bothers me when ppl call the s*** ken carson raps on "rage beats". I know that it's frustrating when it seems like a word is being used incorrectly.

but u gotta face it, thats how language evolves. that's just how it works. I'm not saying you have to call anything trap music. s*** i dont even call it trap music because i am not totally on board w that new definition either. but there's no reason to hate people who define a word differently than u

its inception with migos and future
its past ur bedtime cuz

to be fair . . . . . . it is . . . . that's not all that it is but there is a trap subgenre of edm lol

I don’t hate anyone who does it. Let me clear that lol. I’m not trying to come off as mad about it. I have no other way of really articulating s*** fr. Okay no see you understand what’s going on. I wished you would of typed this out first. Cause it made it seem like you didn’t realize it and was just following the trend aswell. The Ken point is funny too because they calling the whole Opium label rage music rn

that’s a generalization

especially with the term having as broad a scope as it does at this point

also even in the cases where that could be considered true, does that make it “bad”?

Nigga everybody been saying 🅿️ For the past week and dissing Dawn FM and if they are, rightfully so cuz gunna music is ass

respectfully bro

Just cause majority of people don’t know what it is and are following wat other people who ALSO don’t know what it means doesn’t make the word correct or some new meaning.

yes it literally does

see the word literally and how people use it to mean the opposite of literally: figuratively

like when shorties be like "omg this latte is so good i literally want to die"

definitions and language are connotative not denotative, there is no ancient civilization that determines the definitions of all words or some s***. the definition evolved. you don't have to like it or respect it but you do have to acknowledge that there is a very vocal majority that uses the language differently than you.

This convo is f***in hilarious if you’ve watched this s*** go from A Milli knockoff beats to our current place

And then to see the vibe that Jeezy/TIP/Wop and their producers put in the game in mid 00s did temporarily get co-opted into EDM just off the drum sounds

Lex Luger doesn’t get enough credit lol

it ain't that serious

Trap beats are different to trap songs. You can have a trap beat without it technically being a trap song, but I think it’s fair to classify the instrumental as “trap”
