tip put trap in the air , jeezy magnified it , but gucci low-key started what we now know as trap music
you wanna talk influence ? lol people don't wanna acknowledge the guy with a ice cream cone on his face but almost everyone that popped in the last 5 years was next to , about to sign to , or directly connected to gucci . its scary if you think of what he could've done if he wasn't on lean and had the foresight to sign these people
Yeah if you ask me who the godfathers are its shawty redd, jeezy and gucci. I cant give ti credit just because his album wasnamed trap music. You can argue he coined the term...even tho Cool breeze and goodie mob was talking about trapping back in 96. But creating the entire genre? Hell no
If he put it in the air or coined the term, no matter how you put it he sparked it. And Outkast and Goodie mentioned trappin but that wasn't their lane. TIP opened that lane for _'s to come
through.
TI and Toomp wasn't making trap records? 24's and You Don't Know Me ain't sonically trap records?
_'s tryna change history.
Jeezy and Gucci are influential. I always give 'em their credit but nobody was going hard with that til TI. It ain't no coincidence that _'s started naming their projects Trap Or Die, Trap House after him.
