Three 6 Mafia/Dj Paul & Juicy J deserved much more inclusion in this. Literally all of todays rap or trap music has been influenced by them. Their lyrics are used as adlibs for songs and their sound has been duplicated numerous times. That said this is definitely a very informative video my guy 💯

Pfff all this trash started when little Wayne came up with that stupid style of his. Singing out of his nostrils and looking clownly. Now all trap sounds like that and no one is an exception to the rule. It’s fucked up, repetitive, empty, soulless and stupid. Change my mind.

Trap music didn't really get mainstream attention until Tip debuted & put trap music on the map nationwide

If Memphis were never here, we wouldn’t have trap, period. If you disagree, listen to a Memphis song like “drag em to the river by lord infamous” and speed it up to 1.25 speed, it’s a trap beat. Memphis rap is the father of trap music

You deserve SO much more views and subs. Was trying to explain trap to my mom (and myself) and this helped.

Thanks man. I appreciate you taking the time. I understand better now.

God, this is EXACTLY the kind of video and information I was looking for. Thank you!

This was great man . Being 27 I didn’t apreciate trap until about the Zaytoven/ Migos/Future era. And of the videos I’ve seen so far, this seems to be the most accurate and informative.

T.I definitely influenced me a lot!! It’s crazy how hes like underrated and don’t get talk a lot now

Memphis made all this sound son

Went through a few phases- Started in the early 2000s was extremely unique and few people doin it while the whole bling bling and ringtone sound was poppin, 2008-2014, I like to think that as the golden age when it came into its own, was still true to its roots, was fresh, popular but not necessarily mainstream, and then post 2015, where it got poppy, saturated everyone doin it and it’s just getting further from its roots and as mainstream as it gets

“Trap” is not short for trap house. The “trap” is any place drugs are sold. It could be a house, it could be a gas station, it could be a block, it could be a cut in the woods.

trap is also a verb now. "Trappin"

Great video good stuff man

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, "trap music" is a bass-heavy and drum-heavy instrumental with lyrics about drug-selling, pimping, and (for the ladies) stripping, made in the South in response to West coast gangsta rap. Forgive me if I sound really ignorant, but that just sounds like almost every rap song that I hear, minus knowing if it originates in the South. Is it just that trap music is everywhere, or am I missing something? I don't listen to rap often, but the other kinds of rap I can think of, that sound distinctive, is gangsta rap, autotune rap, pop rap, rock rap, country rap, and "consciousness" rap like Naz or Lupe Fiasco. Forgive me if these aren't actual genres. Sadly, I'm still not sure if I can identify trap music.

The best way to sum it up is basically Trap music is southern (specifically Atlanta) biased gangsta rap

Schooly D from Philadelphia created gangsta rap. NWA & Ice T popularized it.

Nice video earned a sub

ppl should never forget how edm trap, ended up circling back and influencing the original

Can’t give a history lesson on trap music without mentioning ghetto mafia

How did the scary sounding off key music get started in trap music and what was the influence? It's hard on the ears compared to the 90's gangster rap melody of Dre, tupac, Biggie etc. Thanks!

Three 6 Mafia specifically producers DJ Paul and Juicy J but if you want to go even deeper- check out the producer and dj, DJ Squeeky. And if you really want to go even deeper, check out DJ Spanish Fly. Influencer of ALL said producers.

All y’all is wrong trap music originated in Atlanta by hitman sammy sam being the first trap rapper even though he rapped about drugs his trap meaning or the original mean for trap was the housing projects back in the day they were referred to as death traps or the dope traps. Atlantas projects were huge and built one way in one way out. So you would get trapped and killed or trapped In the projects.

Trap music was invented from Decatur

Zaytoven invented trap music.

BOOM BAP BOOM BOOM BAP!

Not true. The creator of trap was a Puerto Rican dude named DJ Fortuno, he brought his beats to atlanta to Gucci Mane in 2001. They loved how he used the drums as a base line pitching up and down and the combination of the hi hats. Then he brought the beats to a studio in a trap house. They stole his ideas.

Project pat started trap music do your research

You being way too inclusive with this lol You can't just say a southern rapper who raps about selling drugs is a Trap rapper. ATLANTA made a Completely different sound, coined a new term, and created a Subgenre all on its own. While Memphis and Houston had a big influence on Hip Hop in general, they didnt have a big Influence or any at all on Trap. Atlanta Greats like Dungeon Family and Ghetto Mafia coined that term and gave birth to it and they were nowhere included in the video. You're shedding the Atlanta Identity to include southern rappers who happened to rap about selling drugs sometimes to expand the "Trap Universe" and it is just not that Expansive as far as it's Conception is Concerned.

Memphis laid the foundation for Trap music, but Memphis Rap sounds distinct from modern Trap music and 2000‘s Trap. Memphis rap sounded less electronic and had a horrorcore sound. In fact, many Memphis rap songs don’t even sound like Trap music AT ALL (listen to some early Skinny Pimp songs) except for the 808 drums (that were also used by LL Cool J or Afrika Bambaataa). Memphis Rap also had some West Coast influence. You can hear it when you listen to King of Da Playaz Ball or Can it be.

It needs to go away now. Hip hop is getting stagnant.

gansta rap actually started on the east coast moved to the west, know ur history youngblood!
