  • Trap music has been the main subgenre of rap in the mainstream eye for close to a decade but times are changing and they're changing fast. The same men that were on fire just 2 years ago find themselves in a new position. #rap #hiphop

      People are always completely misrepresenting what is happening in rap music. You guys are thinking like there is an infinity of possible flows and every single person has to find their own flow. That is NOT AT ALL how music works.
      You do not create a new rhythm, you lay down your lyrics in a fitting rhythm.
      Look at how music instruments function. You do what serves the music best, insecurity about having to be "new" is HINDERING the creative process.
      There's nothing wrong whatsoever with trap flows being repetitive - it gives a type of hypnotic feeling while also making sure the song is tethered to that subgenre.

    I think its unfair to put future, trav and others into that specific category of melodic trap because by the time these guys were blowing up they were already superstars and had classics (Rodeo, DS2, Barter 6, Monster, Without Warning and others). Also Id say the likes of lil baby operate in that late 2010s trap sound which future and peers aren’t operating in.

Yeat for a very long time was known for pretty much making one type of song over and over, but he has a character and personality associated with him and his music that kept it from going stale, so much to the point that he’s gone right back to that style after dropping 2093.

    The argument about each city sounding like its own thing is interesting. I have a book on mixing and Bobby Owsinski speaks about each studio back in the early days of audio engineering having its own speacific gear, methodology and engineers, so they would make radically different sounding records. There were fewer studios back then, so a city’s sound could be defined by the top dog of that area. Motown sounded like Motown for a very good reason. Same with EMI, later named Abbey Road. It’s cool to see history repeating itself for different reasons

    NBA youngboy isn't generic trap at all lol I'm not even a fan of his but he has a very distinct Baton Rouge style when it comes to beats and lyrical content (being a bit too transparent and vulnerable to the point that it makes you cringe at times) but as someone who has been a trap fan since the genre really took off in the late 00s with Gucci Mane, OJ and Zaytoven I'm glad it's starting to die off. It went from a Southern hustler's theme music to soulless mass produced music that all sounds like one long song and only sounds good in a club environment where you're under the influence of some substance and a woman is twerking on you. The auto tune makes it worse a lot of the time tbh because I know rappers like lil baby can kinda spit but that auto tune makes every song of his sound the exact same.

  • @big.kool.
    @big.kool. Před 22 dny +1

    I might be biased but the melodic trap era of 2018-20 was one of my favorite eras of hip hop because of how this was when I first got into hip hop and they were the biggest names at the time as well as the nostalgia and good music back then.
    I still remember when albums like My Turn, Please Don't Excuse Me, Kirk, Wunna, etc. first dropped and they are timeless to me. There were also other rappers who blew up around the same time that was also in the same melodic trap pocket like Lil Tjay, NLE Choppa, Moneybagg Yo, Key Glock, etc. which were more niche yet successful. It is sad how most of these rappers in the era fell off since some of these rappers could have been superstars, but they refused to move with changing times and we don't hear much of them any more.
    I do think change was necessary but I feel like rappers like Lil Baby or Polo G could be much better if they just switched it up a bit. I honestly do miss the era as now we are in an era we have people like Nettspend, Ian, and Lazer Dim being pushed as the next big thing, which may not be the best honestly
    I am at least more glad we still have the rappers with us and their music as well, because anything could happen any moment.
