i try to think about it like im just happy my man is getting a bag

It just has that slightly unusual for "default" beats synth loop lol
But drums wise it's a trap style beat for sure

Can’t explain it without caps

The last trap artists we had of our gen. Idk yalls age but I’m 22. The last I’ve seen was vintage migos(2011-2012) and 2012-13 young thug and 2011-2014ish future and bankroll fresh and 2chainz is a small argument to be made aswell. A argument can be made for the newer street rappers who ran YouTube since the 2016-17 era aswell

yeah in the context of his album he’s right s*** isn’t trap at all lol idk why people would call it that

niggas calling 2010 a trap beat (I still don't know if niggas is trolling) are definitely proving Earl's tweet right lmfao.

There were always at the forefront of hip hop though

They were always the trendsetters and tastemakers of hip hop, like hip hop moved around THEM

There was never a need because the sound catered to them

I mean it’s all rap lol but the older hip hop gets the more important it is to let listeners know what they’re hearing. Earl is making a different kind of rap music than a Travis Scott or Eminem.

yea its just nigga music

iiidk bro em has a pretty definitive subgenre as like white people rap music

drake makes almost exclusively pop rap and then he has his deeper cuts like 2 birds 1 stone where he just flows, and that's a pretty distinct genre than a lot of other pop rap. what drake does and what someone like 24kgoldn do are very different things.

kanye is the poster child for alternative styles of rap, he himself makes so many different genres of music on a very consistent basis. 808s and yeezus are completely diff kinds of music

Idk what to tell you bruh. You can literally look at hip hop right now and see people associating trap with the sound. That does not erase TI, OJ, Gucci etc. I think a lot of y’all are just hip hop purists who can’t accept this and that’s fine. But that’s not how it is. Right now there are more than one definition of trap whether we like it or not. Just like y’all were perfectly fine with taking Drill, a subgenre that was also based on its subject matter, and associating that s*** with the sound now and nobody is complaining about this. Like I’ve never seen anyone argue pop smoke and Fivi weren’t drill the way Travis got brought up itt for not being trap.

This 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Nah Earl is coming at niggas calling it trap music in general. But the beat itself has trap drums

you could make an effort to defend your position or you can just complain

Could went without the goofy part 😡

Dudes like Dolph and Glock too.

a metaphor for life itself tbh.

what about 2010 sounds more like a trap beat than either SICK! or Vision my nigga.

If we talk straight up production stylistic

What makes 2010 beat that different from "trap" production?

uhhh, idk. Listen to every "trap" producer for the last 5 years? :word:

once again

what about 2010 sounds more like a trap beat than either SICK! or Vision my nigga

Question: If someone never heard Earl before and they wanted to listen to his new album, what genre/sub-genre would you tell them it is? To set expectations.

Can we say trap drums then?

Hip Hop

I dont know what arpeggiated means but I agree

100% facts

language is fluid

i see white tik tok kids walking around saying "sus" "simp" "cuffed" "yeet" "sksksk". it's the same phenomenon. definitions move as culture progresses for better or for worse. it is equally valid to participate in it or be against it, but there is no position that is "correct" to have
