The Trap

After graduating college I decided to move to Atlanta, GA just because I know theres a lot of job opportunities for young black people.  When I originally moved down there I had no job and no idea of what I was going to do.  My roommate at the time told me of how TI had started a Trap House Museum and how he was working there.  He told me that there was openings at the museum and he could possibly get me a job there.  So a month passes by and I start working at the museum doing advertising.  The company starts to see real success with residents and tourists and I'm just glad to be part of the process. One day my manager comes to me and lets me know that they are opening up a pop-up shop in Los Angeles and they wanted me to be apart of it.  Im originally from Los Angeles, CA and to receive this type of opportunity was a blessing.  So I eventually move back to Los Angeles and help with the process of getting the pop-up shop opened.  The pop-up ...

As a resident of the Crenshaw community I got the opportunity to visit the With the Lil Trap House when it was just a pop-up shop. Now the “Lil Trap House” is on the verge of taking a life of its own. They are in talks of giving the museum that is located in Los Angeles a redo. From talking with the managers of the museum they said that the plan for this museum is to make it a community staple and tourist attraction,  were people all around the world can visit and leave knowing that they learned the reason why these Los Angeles hip-hop legends are so important to the people in the West Coast. When I was told that this museum idea started in Atlanta I went to do my research. In 2018 Atlanta legend TI opened his Trap Music Museum in Atlanta. A couple of months later he decided to open a new installment of the museum in Los Angeles called the “Lil Trap House”. When it originally opened it focused on a couple of LA artists that are at face front of the LA music culture...

1. The Streets Featured Artist | WC Album | Ghetto Heisman Year 2002 Nate Dogg, like a lot of songs he sings on, makes the song. The beat from Scott Storch, sounds like a 2001 leftover and creates WC's biggest hit as a solo artist. Not too many outside of LA will remember this one. 2. Look At My Eyes Featured Artist | Obie Trice Album | Cheers Year 2003 Cheers is the most underrated Hip-Hop albums of all time. Slept on as it came out the same year on the same label 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Cheers is the best album to come out of the Shady-Aftermath factory not named 50 Cent or Eminem, and that includes all members of G-Unit and D12. Look At My Eyes, produced by Dr. Dre at the tale-end of Dr. Dre producing like Dr. Dre, is one of the last Nate Dogg/Dr. Dre combos we will ever see, and just as always, it doesn't miss. 3. I Don't Like To Dream About Getting Paid Featured Artist | Dogg Pound Album | Tha Dogg Food Year 1995 Early Nate ...

Eminem as a superior beat maker is one of the most slept on facts in hip hop history. As a protege´ of the God of Beat himself, Dr. Dre, Eminem has crafted some of the best beats that no one knows about. This man has produced a whole 2pac album, and there was a reason he was trusted with the opportunity, and didn’t do a bad job either. He has produced classic songs on classic albums. Producing songs off the timeless Get Rich or Die Tryin' album, including High All The Time and the classic Many Men; he solely produced Patiently Waiting and Don’t Push Me. Breaking Detroit artists like D12 and Obie Trice, Eminem was the majority producer of the underrated classic and critically acclaimed Cheers (2003) and produced both D12 albums which spawned eminem produced hits 'Purple Pills' and 'My Band' respectively. Many people don’t know Eminem took over production duties from his mentor early on his career, co- producing the groundbreaking 'Marshall Mathers Lp.'be...
