Who's on the Mount Rushmore of trap music
0:10
Funny you should mention it. So there were always, you know, three figureheads in trap music, man
0:23
Myself, Jeezy, and Gucci. I was always like unanimous, and nobody could even, you know, question or you can't add or remove anybody from that. Right
0:40
And over time, you know, there's been conversations like who else should be allotted
0:48
Because I think Mount Rushmore is five, five figureheads? Four. It's four? Four. Okay
0:56
Mount Rushmore is four, but we'll allow for five. But Mount Rushmore is four
1:00
Right now, we had the three and it was, you know, us having the opportunity to also collect more data and conversation and input from the people
1:12
The people who are the most passionate about the culture of trap music
1:18
It's like, yo, who should be the fourth figurehead? And so we did a poll and we selected a number of potential additions
1:31
And we finally came to the conclusion from the people that the fourth figurehead is Future. Future. Future. Wow
1:45
I didn't expect you to say that. Well, that's what the people spoke
1:50
Why Future? I don't disagree, though. Okay, why Future then? I mean, well, for one, you got to have consistency. Uh-huh
1:57
You have to have a certain level of substantial success. Uh-huh. You have to have a certain air of authenticity. Uh-huh
2:09
And you have to be creatively unique yourself. Uh-huh. And no one can, not a version of something. Uh-huh
2:19
Not something that someone could replicate or, you know, could carbon copy or replace you. Right
2:29
And I think, you know, it's just got to be substantial. And I think there are a lot of other people who are phenomenal arguments. Uh-huh
2:44
Yeah, I was going to say honorable mentions. Who is besides Future? Who's the honorable mention
2:48
Yo Got It. Yo Got It? Okay. Yo Got It. What about Ross? Boosie
2:54
Yo Got It, Boosie, Doug. Okay. Okay. And yeah, Ross as well, I believe. Right. Okay
3:04
I want to ask you, Big Block was in here. Mm-hmm. What is like, he's not a rapper, though
3:11
Where does Block come into this? What do you mean? As in terms of trap music
3:17
I mean, he was an executive and label owner that introduced the Boys in the Hood. Yeah
3:27
Which introduced everybody to Young Jeezy. Yeah, right. Yeah. And then later on, he experienced some success with Young Jock and Gorilla Zo. Yeah. Yeah
3:40
And he also had a phenomenal artist that didn't get enough credit or attention called Biggie. Yeah
3:48
Biggie was called- He was in his top five. He was definitely in his top five. Yeah
3:52
Biggie called, he would call, he would call, real call. Yeah. I mean, like a real hidden gem
3:58
You did. Uh-huh. Like kind of if you know, you know type shit. Right. Yeah
4:05
And I think, you know, the efforts that were established or should I say the success that
4:13
was established from the efforts. Yeah. Then have been longstanding
