Trap music is based on use of the 808 Roland drum machine, pitched and re-sampled hiphop/rap vocals, pipe flutes, gangsta synth leads, and various FX. Similar to rap without the main vocal, Trap music has been gaining lots of attention from major DJ’s and labels. Although, the style originated many years ago, Trap music has recently been making a new school comeback in many new forms such as “Trap”, “Chirp”, “SeaPunk”, “PsyTrap”, and “TrapStep”. Earliest known examples can be found by artists such as Triple Six Mafia, UGK, Swisha House, and Gucci Mane. Tempos range widely from 135-175bpm which is uncommon for most major genres of electronic dance music (EDM).

In laymen’s terms, Trap music would be best described as a recipe;

1/3 hip hop (tempo and song structure similar) – however vocals are usually pitched lower or higher
1/3 dubstep (similar drum arrangements, different builds and drops)
1/3 dub (Low frequency focus and strong emphasis on repetitiveness throughout a song)

music you listen to while selling your dope in da trap mostly southern rap, T.I., jezzy, lil webbie, bun b, etc
T.I. even named his hit album this

A type of rap music where rhyming ''nigga'' with ''nigga'' is apparently acceptable because of the ''raw and gritty'' nature of the songs.

Typical trap music verse:

"We crazy killier niggas one super nigga
Big black nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga
Sup my nigga nigga you a nigga
Me and my squad be nigga niggas"

TRAP MUSIC = rap/hiphop + dubstep + Techno/Dance + Hella Base + "Damn son where'd you find this". Supporters enjoy this new genre, especially those who enjoy all the music genres included into TRAP. Listening to TRAP may blow your mind and be associated with having a good ass high/fade/day/night. Its up and coming and has been rapidly gaining fans the past few years.

A genre of hip hop music that is supposed to discuss about "life in the trap". However, it completely fails at doing that. Rather than seeing trap rappers paint vivid pictures of hustling scenarios in their music (what mafioso rappers used to do), we instead see them using elementary rhymes while glorifying drug use, sex, money, and hoes. It's even worse when they try to describe street violence, because instead of using imagery to elaborate on street violence, they just say some shit like "I shot a nigga after I pulled a trigga/ Fuck these niggas, I'm a real killa" Worst of all, trap beats are the most annoying thing ever. Trap beats consist of annoying high-pitched synths with too much bass and snares that don't even sound like real snares.

(ElectronicDanceMusic) Bass music that shares similarities with dub-step. although they shares drum arrangements it is often accompanied with the (hey) associated with some southern rap. the builds and drops of the bass are more subtle in trap music than dub-step.

Trance + Rap = Trap

And just like that, we've all been mind fucked~
