wasn't a personal jibe, dude.

Just meant people who are bored are (for the moment they feel it, anyway) boring.

and Yo, trap is old as the 808. Bambaataa and a million other NY DJs were pluggin trap sounds back in the 80s. Place some syncopated verbal patterns on endless repeat, do a little mumbling and you got a new package for Madison Ave to push: TRAP.

Ain't deep. But continue with the history, please...

oh I couldn't tell what you meant to be honest, I can get behind that logic though. In due time I will post more trap here though, guess if we're talking about the history of the genre I could post some memphis rap that was pretty influential to it's sound

Speaking of trap, that Gucci/Chief Keef mixtape, Big Gucci Sosa was mad underrated.



And I didn't realize Juicy J released another solo project since Stay Trippy, I guess I gotta catch up - but this was a college favorite.

Trap was spread out by Lil Wayne in the mainstream, when Migos were just a bunch of nobodies. But both can be seen as precedessors of genre.
