Kendrick Lamar - B*tch Don't Kill My Vibe Trap Production in Rap, R&B, and Pop Songs :Ī "trap mix" from 2012 for reference, so you know what I'm considering as early-mid 2010s trap production - Ĭhief Keef- Love Sosa (drill is technically a trap sub-genre) This could also lowkey double as a Zillennial era playlist. Just for fun I've compiled a playlist of a) songs with trap production, and b) really old mumble rap songs. Saying mumble rap is a 2016+ thing would be like ignoring the Spice Girls’ existence. Was millennial teen pop culture necessarily in full effect in 1996? No, but it was already there long before the 2000s rolled around. In my eyes, the early - mid 2010s was essentially to mumble rap, trap, and early Gen Z pop culture what the mid-late 90s was for millennial teen pop culture (boy bands, girl groups, teen stars, etc.), and the late 2010s was to mumble rap and trap what the early 2000s was for millennial teen pop culture. If anything 2016-2018 was the peak of mumble rap, not the beginnings of it, and it definitely wasn't the beginnings of trap music's mainstream popularity. By the time we get to the pop and r&b songs from 2013-2015 with trap inspired production, they even begin to sound similar to modern pop and r&b songs with trap influence like "Do It" by Chole & Hale, "Juicy" by Doja Cat, "Easy" by Dani Leigh and Chris Brown, and "Bad Boy" by the k-pop group Red Velvet. Snoop and 50 Cent even commented on the state of rap in 2014, specifically mimicking the flows Migos and Future popularized. By 2014 even certain pop songs were already beginning to feature trap-inspired production and all the newer rappers were being called "mumble rappers" by the oldheads. I went to a middle school that predominantly listened to rap from 2011-2014, and from what I can remember both of those subgenres were already the predominant form of rap by my freshman year of high school. As for the title, my question still stands. Russell Potter wrote that while hardcore rap has been associated with a "monolithic 'gangsta' outlook" by the popular press, hardcore rappers have "laid claim to a wide variety of ground".This is an edited version of my original post, as I wanted to change it from a video format to a text format. Hardcore hip hop is characterised by aggression and confrontation and generally describes violence or anger. However, not all hardcore hip hop revolves around " gangsta" lyrical themes, despite the considerable overlap between the two genres, especially within hardcore rappers of the 1990s. Gangsta rap has often been associated with the hardcore hip hop style, and gangsta rap is generally considered a subgenre or offshoot of hardcore hip hop. In the 2010s, punk rap combined elements of hardcore hip hop and hardcore punk, with artists like Denzel Curry at the forefront. In the early, late 90s and early 2000s, other New York based artists like Onyx, DMX and M.O.P. In the early 1990s, hardcore hip hop again became associated with the East Coast as Wu-Tang Clan emerged with minimalistic beats and piano-driven sampling, which became widely popular among other hardcore hip hop artists of the time. Though initially a largely East Coast phenomenon, by the late 1980s, hardcore rap increasingly became largely synonymous with West Coast gangsta rap, with artists like N.W.A infusing " gangsta" themed stories of gritty gang life. Before a formula for gangsta rap had developed, artists such as Boogie Down Productions and Ice-T wrote lyrics based on detailed observations of "street life", while the confrontational and aggressive lyrics and chaotic, rough production style of Public Enemy's records set new standards for hardcore hip hop and hip hop production. Other early artists to adopt an aggressive style were Schoolly D in Philadelphia and Too $hort in Oakland. Music experts have credited Run-DMC as the first hardcore hip hop group. Pioneered by such artists as Run-DMC, Schoolly D, Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy, it is generally characterized by anger, aggression and confrontation. Hardcore hip hop (also hardcore rap) is a subgenre of hip hop music that developed through the East Coast hip hop scene in the 1980s.
