chasewalkedit's tru tho, there's sonics and content respectively. they originated and coalesce in several ways but they are also distinct definitions for different contexts
I hear that. But the definition of “trap music” won’t change. You can argue that albums have elements and influences from the trap sound but it’s not trap music. I cannot go and call WLR a trap album rn and that niggas from Atlanta

It IS trap inspired or trap adjacent though.
Until we reach a consensus (at least in the music critic world) around the genre or category to place that production, trap makes the most sense.

people saying it’s not fair to call music using trap beats “trap music
i def think there's some merit to this idea, especially from the perspective of having grown with that music and seen where it came from and having seen it evolve into this highly gentrified monster it's become.
but it's also just like, it is what it is. having an attachment to its origins doesn't make words mean different things
Oh for sure. I’m with that totally, you were 100% right when you brought up Ariana Grande because there are “trap drums” all over her latest s***.

This is a perfect example of him doing both in one song, separately
i guess? he's still singing though, like pushing his voice to be a melody. i think this is a distinct vocal styling from like a "rapper rapper" like a black thought or a royce

2010 is pretty obviously a trap beat, it has the bounce snares and the hat rolls and the 808s. lots of boxes checked 🤷♀️

Jan 20, 2022Is he right?
Yes and no
Yes because 808's and arpeggiated hats trap music does not make
No because he's responding to people calling music on his new album trap or trap inspired.
Trap much like other sub-genres of hip hop has come to have a universal influence across the genre. it's elements can be found in many different styles of rap.
This is similar to mafioso rap. I wouldn't call Benny a mafioso rapper although his aesthetic and lyrical content is very much inspired by it.
