Didn't they realize Trap rhymes with Crap?
Did they name it trap, because when you're at a bar that you like and this type of music starts playing your tortured into staying?
Didn't they use Trap music to torture the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.

I wonder if my parents felt the same when they heard rap or house for the first time.
It's like the culmination of old school 808 hip-hop, Miami bass, dancehall reggae, NOLA bounce, and DJ Screw all rolled into one. Me likes.
As far as who invented trap music...
Tommy Wright III was hord den a mug.
No black people.
Come again.
This is what I said the last time we had a "trap" thread;
"On one hand, it's always good to see young people enjoying themselves, and I'm all for anything that reminds people of hip-hop's origins as party music.
On the other, the only real issue I have is the same one I had with "trip-hop" - above and beyond the usual dilettantes and cultural tourists that always tend to congregate around this sort of thing, there's a certain section of the audience that feels much more comfortable with it when the more idiomatically "black" elements (i.e., the rappers) are either de-emphasised or shunted out of the picture altogether. "
Hence my remark about the difference here being "no black people". HTH.
I wouldn't dispute that for a moment. Unfortunately, that in itself probably isn't enough to prevent the term "trap music" being misappropriated by those selfsame dork hipsters and turned into the latest nine-day-wonder EDM microgenre, to be lauded and then tossed away by people who wouldn't know the difference between Slim Dunkin, Tim Duncan and Sandy Duncan.
LOL, I was only riffing on the who invented funk thread.
Come on fellas,
