it's just getting old, y'know? everyone using the same copyrighted samples making the same beat over and over and over... I'm going to start asking for help from other artists in the EDM genre, cuz Trap needs more originality.

This is just something I threw together today out of frustration.
trap can be a great genre. if you put enough work into a track, and incorporate different aspects of instruments,tempos,basses,etc that are different than the standard 1/16 high hats and the thin kicks with an average thin trap snare, some amazing tracks can be made. but most of the genre is just copy paste, which is sad cause the more and more i listen to trap, the more and more if feel like the genre is getting stale.

And that's trap in a nutshell, not really focus on complex sounds, just a plain beat to rap on. Trap was meant for lyricism. Which a lot of black people really have taken up on.

holy fuck you put everything i was thinking into well articulated words! thank you!!

and you damn right it's the new pop of this current era. it's sad that most of the facade is filled with fuckery but it's better that people learn to see through that to truly see how african americans drive culture than to have that shit snatched without credit.
@kingcrazzzzy there's plenty of artist just breaking through and switching the formula. you just have to keep an eye out for it. repetition comes w/ trends. also its good you're going for dif genres. broaden your horizons lil bro

anyway, with that being said and back to todays time. no that is not "trap" ore hip hop in a nutshell. beats don't always have to be simple and multiple producers like 40, wondagurl, eestbound, etc. have shown that you can make more complex instrumentals and still have them be mainstream. both parts, producing AND rapping/singing/whatever are equally important.

making instrumentals eventually became more of a respected craft from beatsmiths like j dilla, q tip, etc. so you are right that it is well known for that. but It didnt "outshine" the lyrics. idk where tf fuck you got that from. it enhanced and intertwined with the lyrics.

hip hop is repetitive now as it always was and music in general always will be. people like things to easily familiarize w/. what made hip hop stand out originally was how spoken word could carry a song. you could talk about anything which led to more crude lyrics (nwa), party anthems, detailing bad things within the communities, and just speaking your mind.

half the rappers now aren't too concerned with lyricism. hip hop music is in high demand because it's high energy and something simple to rap along to. it doesn't make you think to hard. but people confuse trap with trap influenced beats. trapping is a lifestyle that lead to them talking about it in music. that is trap. anything that has rolling hi hats and an 808 isn't trap tho. stop putting stuff in a box

But that's a lesson for another day, Trap is the new pop this era. And there's nothing we could do about it, it won't go away. Cut off one head, 2 more grows in its place.

It's more like 50/50. You can't have a hit song without a hardcore trap beat, nothing to complex yet still banging. The other 50 is how great you're lyricism is. So whenever trap kids make a beat on this app, 99.9% of the chance is to give to someone to make a beat with. Now we go back in the day, Hip hop was repetitive, but then almost song is repetitive. What makes Hip-hop stand out is that it had all kinds of instruments and drums that it kinda out shined the lyricism.

so you're saying that trap is less about the beat and more about what can be said on it?
