"Trap for the masses" - What is that exactly?

I looked it up and it says it is Southern Style rap that you listen to in jail (THE TRAP).

What the hell is this ?:

Southern rap with some big bass.


Like Xone said a lot of electronic music producers have picked it up and some DJ's that normally play bass music have started to pick it up.


I'm enjoying some of it. A lot of it is "soulless" but it just reminds me of some good party music from the late 90's. Mixes well with the whole UK Bass thing going on right now.

Looks like trap is a type of southern style hiphop that a bunch of EDM producers have all of the sudden jumped on.


Good read: http://motherboard.vice.com/2012/6/1...-lōtic--2

"Thus it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that trap is having it’s moment as a signifier of rugged authenticity for young, mostly white, electronic music producers. Searching through SoundCloud, there’s thousands of tracks labeled “trap” and “trap music.”

Houston-born, Berlin-based producer Lōtic isn’t impressed. Club kids drawing on the sounds he grew up with doesn’t bother him, exactly. It’s just that, to his ears, most of these so called “trap” tracks are soulless, saccharine approximations of the latest Top-40 trap street hustler hit."
