Most people call Jewels N Drugs the odd song from ARTPOP since is the only full trap song. But in reality ARTPOP has more Trap than you think. First, MANiCURE is full of trap influence all throughout the song and specially its the end. Next, Applause"s beat is also trap influenced since its uses snare drums typical of trap drum beats. And finally both Venus and GUY have the typical trap sounding buildups that you find in most modern trap songs. So, my point is basically that people think Gaga wanted to cash in one trendy trap sounding song since at the time trap was rising to mainstream, but in reality Gaga included a Trap undertones all throughout the album.

I fail to see any trap sounds or influence in Applause/Venus/GUY. It's only present in MANiCURE and Jewels n' Drugs.

Trap is still pretty much everyone on the radio.

I disagree. Maybe Venus/G.U.Y. but Applause's beat is very trap-influenced. It's one of the many reasons why I loved the song when it was first released. :wub:

Influences NOT full on trap breakdowns and such. He is talking about the instruments used to create the Beat is trap inspired and has the build ups similar to a trap song. Did you read the OP or did you skim it?

Yes, thank you, I did read it. But I can't personally hear any of those described influences in the mentioned songs so I'm asking someone who says they hear it to expand. Is that alright with you?

I heard NO trap on AP... none. Hip hop/urban beats and rythms are not synonymous with trap. 

And trap is still very much a figure in current music

The percussion. Especially in the snares and hi hats. Also the deep, male background vocals add to a trap atmosphere.

Trap, R&B and Pop are the most mainstream genres right now. Just say hi to Panda by Desiigner

Gaga had been working on ARTPOP since 2011 before trap was hot.
