But now trap fans are pushing back saying he couldn’t be more wrong and insisting that UGK started the sub-genre back in the early 90s. “T.I is the Jay Z of trap music. Joe is right Jeezy has been going in a musical direction causing him be stagnant as an artist while the fans wait for a triumphant return that may never happen,” one fan tweeted. In the mid-90s, 8Ball & MJG dropped an album, On the Outside Looking In, which comprises of some of the same trap flows we are hearing today. But does UGK and 8Ball & MJG deserves some credit for originating the sub genre. However the whole concept of being "TRAP" is nothing new. did create trap music in a way. Joe is right Jeezy has been going in a musical direction causing him be stagnant as an artist while the fans wait for a triumphant return that may never happen. back in the Oukast days, so naan I can’t believe T want to take credit for that.”
Absolutely, there are fans on both sides of the divide and some are very vocal in support of TIPS claim that he created trap music. But if you go back to who truly started it, I must humbly say myself.”

It's funny how people bump trap music but dont know who is the originator…they mention young thug, uzi vert, 2 chainz, future and designer Niggas…some of these guys dont even have bars to keep it trap. Pimp C and Bun B were spitting trap down in Texas from way back in the 90s. (@Don_TEE) November 24, 2017
T.I. says that nobody was doing trap music before he did. During a recent interview, T.I. “Now since it was introduced to the world there were people who came on and enforced it and kind of spread the genre out and gave it wings and life beyond it’s origin. The 70s and 80s babies would know that Bun B and Pimp C of UGK were doing some trap music freestyles in the south from as far back as 1992, you can go back and listen to their debut Too Hard to Swallow.
