  • I noticed that I commented on the cross post and not the original, so here:

    No disrespect, but this isn’t Trap, neither was that song by Eminem and Logic.Trap is a subgenre of hip hop music that originated in the Southern United States, with lyrical references to trap starting in 1991 but the modern sound of trap appearing in 1999. The genre gets its name from the Atlanta slang term “trap house”, a house used exclusively to sell drugs.

    Trap also applies to a subgenre or EDM now, but my point is putting “conscious rap” and “trap” as the genres of the same song is a bit of an oxymoron, unless they are rapping about selling drugs that expand your consciousness.
