Ok... FUCK OFF is Pearson Sound influenced by Trap Music.

Better?

I think he just meant the whole 808s-and-chopped-vocals sound. Not getting into this argument cos I couldn't really care less, but at least try to understand what the guy's saying before you bite his head off.

problem is the 808 and chopped vocal influence on our sound came more from chicago, detroit, balt, not trap, imo

man painted pearson sound and clams casino with the trap brush in one post, i think a good FUCK OFF was in order as well

Genuis

Wow people actually care that much

Not sure what's wrong with white producers making it and white audiences listening to it? This shit has tons of bass and is fun as hell - Baauer, Rustie, Lunice, TNGHT, Flosstradamus, Ryan Hemsworth, etc, are all making "trap" and I love it, couldn't give a flying fuck if its real "trap" or not. Saw Baauer and S-Type and it was one of the most fun and weighty nights I'd been to in ages! Not really sure what the argument is about this stuff?!

Yeah, Pearson Sound was clearly more influenced by Baltimore stuff than Trap.

I like that Desto tune on the prev. page. Like this one too:

Naw. It's not the 'white people love it/do it' thing. It's that "trap" has existed in one form or another for over a decade and what heads like TNGHT are doing is basically just making Southern rap beats from 2007 - 2010. At that time, mostly white people (backpackers, indie rockers, etc) thought it was hip-hop turned shit and basically considered it 'dumb people's music'. Now that hip pitchfork approved producers are doing it, it's suddenly accepted to listen to it and it's considered 'a new, fresh sound'. Yeah, if you erase Cash Money from music history.

The whole attitude is just so racist and unfair. To me they're just rap beats, so some of them may sound good and others might be shit, like all music. Except now the market is oversaturated with the sound.

That shit is all Chicago trax and Detroit influenced (Underground Resistance shit and hard electro). "Trap" didn't become dominant until maybe early 2012, but it's been looming in underground dance music since 'Wut' was released.

liam92 i think people have a problem with it because of the historical dimension, whereby white people who make rip-offs of black music for a white audience become far more popular amongst that audience than the black originators, because of racism.

whether that's valid in this situation and the reason the original stuff is "unappreciated" is because of culturally embedded racism is a different question, but i don't think the attitude is completely incomprehensible because it has a lengthy historical precedent. it's no big jump to think this practice remains today in less obvious ways.

And dubstep is a product of London's multicultural underground music culture since the acid house days?

And on acid we realise that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves?

Yeah exactly. Like I'm saying, totally different situation.
