Until he became one of the best trap artists, he delivered great music as a rapper (which he still does). For example, his rap-like flow on ‘Hustle’ is substantially different from his solid trap rhythm on ‘I get the bag’. If you notice, Gucci Manes vibe on ‘Trap House‘ is different from the current vibe he presents. Gucci Mane has been a consistent figure in trap music because he was able to blend his lyrics easily with various trap sounds as they evolved. He’s like the architect in the history of trap music while Gucci Mane plays the roles of both the engineer (not pioneer) and surveyor. Ever listened to T.I’s ‘Trap Muzik’ album, or Gucci Mane’s ‘Trap House’ and compared it to any of the trap sounds in 2011? You should. Certainly, their names will never go unmentioned in the history of trap music but they didn’t invent trap music. The word “Trap” in the album titles only explained their personal stories living in the trap and not defining an entire genre. People didn’t start calling trap music ‘Trap music’ because of T.I’s ‘Trap Muzik’ or Gucci Mane’s ‘Trap House’. Surprisingly none of those rappers invented the trap music we know. Many scream T.I and Gucci Mane, a few others mumble the name of Young Jeezy. Now that those misconceptions have been addressed, let’s talk about the “Inventors” of trap music. It’s also the sound you get when they’re still high on the previous day’s mixture. Mumble rap is the Trap sound you get when your favorite Trap artists are high off the cup of lean or drugs they have with them in the studio. Mumble rap is not a separate genre or category, it is trap music. Yet, he doesn’t qualify to be called a rap artist.Īnother misconception about Trap music is “mumble rap ”. He also did talk about the trap a lot on that album. Respect will be given to T.I though, and his name will be mentioned in the history of trap music as the first to include the word “Trap ” in an album title. How bizarre does it sound, that the “Inventor” of trap music isn’t a trap artists. The difference between T.I and Gucci Mane is that, Gucci found a way to master the trap sound and that’s why he’s more of a trap artist than T.I is. Can you imagine T.I in 2003 rapping over Travis Scott’s ‘Sweet Sweet’ or 21 Savage’ ‘Thug Life’ and presenting a vibe that stinks of the trap sound we know? Neither could Gucci Mane in 2005. The trap contains beats which are psychedelic and trippy with a touch of electronic music mixed with hip-hop beats. I like to describe the trap sound as a combination of Trance and rap. Trap music is more than triplet hi-hats, loud kicks, snappy snares and low end 808 bass samples. 2 Chainz’ flow on ‘Big amount’ (Rap) is different from his flow on ‘Door swangin’ (Trap). There’s a thin line between trap and rap despite the beat or lyrics, that’s why trap music has a unique sound. Although, drugs, guns, money, and stories about the trap are solid hints that a song can be described as trap music, it doesn’t quite seal the deal. Two separate lyrics on separate songs-yet the same trap sound. Drop two ounces of codeine in my Minute Maid”. Think it’s sweet then come and see, I’ma demonstrate. Yet, he also said “I keep a 30 Clip but this a Glock 23. It’s a miracle how you’ll wake up and your dreams right in your face”. Kodak Black said “I gotta thank God for everything. Many Trap artists have talked about topics like: love, heartbreak, family, and the life-transforming process of going from being broke to being rich. Trap music isn’t identified by lyrics neither is it identified by the beat. Trap music is a vibe, it is a wave that can only be identified by the flow in it’s current. Trap music isn’t mentioning the word “trap” in a couple of lyrics or mentioning drugs, guns, and money while rapping about life in the trap. Even though trap music is all over the radio, there are misperceptions about the qualities that define the genre and these misconceptions will create arguments bigger than the “who is the best rapper alive?” discussion in the future. This is a conversation for real fans and no one else. However, the question remains, who invented trap music? Clearly, not everyone agrees with Gucci Mane, that’s why it’s created such a buzz. His social media posts about being the inventor and King of trap music has triggered arguments about who invented trap music. Spoiler: Gucci Mane is one of the creators.Įver Considered Gucci Mane as the King of Trap Music? Well, that’s what he’s been calling himself on social media lately.
