![]() ![]() Within the context of timbre, trap music covers more-and more experimental-ground than genres that lean on physical instruments or samples of physical instruments. More fundamental to music than harmony, melody, or rhythm, is timbre, which is just the way a sound sounds (if a trumpet and violin play the same note at the same volume for the same amount of time, they'll sound different because they have different timbres). ![]() Also, repetition is cool! Don't take it from me, ask blues fans, or scientists.I think there's actually a lot of variety to be found once your familiarity with the genre grows, as is the case with any genre. I also find that, the less intimately familiar I am with a genre, the more repetitive it will sound to me, because I'm likely to notice the similarities between songs before I notice their differences. You don't like the music being repetitive (flows, beats, I'm lumping it all together here).I have American friends who don't like UK rap because they can't understand the accents, but I don't struggle with the accents so it's a nonissue for me. You mention 645AR who is obviously an extreme example, but a median example is UK rap. Also, whether or not their lyrics are "understandable" is determined by your own ear just as much as it is by their voice.Because of this, things like "mumbling" and foreign languages aren't turnoffs for me. Personally, I don't start to even notice lyrics until I've listened to a song many, many times.It taps into people's nostalgia.Īnd that's fine! It's cool to learn what our own artistic preferences are.Īs a fan of some "mumble rap," btw, here are my honest answers to your questions: People say "sampling is lazy, just learn to play instruments" but the right sample helps the target audience connect more with the song. I think most Trap beats don't even really use samples much anymore. I've never heard a Trap beat that made me feel sonically energized.īusta Rhymes - Fire It Up used to make me SPAZ THE FXXK OUT because it has the theme from Knight Rider in the beat. Like there's a factory churning them out from an Assembly Line. Trap Beats just sound incredibly generic. Bus Driver).Įven Biggie with his mainstream East Coast version of Gangsta Rap still had better beats. Masta Ace had better beats (On Da Grind, Mr. Trap Beats are not pleasing to listen to. To copy another artist was like a cardinal sin, and now - everyone sounds the same. I generally don't like the "hibbity-kibbity-dippity" flow that EVERYONE and their grandmother uses.Īt least the old-school rappers didn't all bite off and copy THE SAME EXACT FLOW. It's more like the weird Dream Gibberish my brain says as I'm trying to fall asleep.Įminem is "over-rated" in some people's opinion, but even in a song such as Speedom where he's saying words faster than The Flash can run, I can still make out what he's saying. I have to strain to listen for "words" and even when the video has the lyrics in text on the screen I still don't hear "words." Playboi Carti sounds like he is speaking an alien language.Ħ45AR sounds like Alvin & The Chipmunks huffed a bunch of Helium balloons.
