    I noticed that I commented on the cross post and not the original, so here:

    No disrespect, but this isn’t Trap, neither was that song by Eminem and Logic.Trap is a subgenre of hip hop music that originated in the Southern United States, with lyrical references to trap starting in 1991 but the modern sound of trap appearing in 1999. The genre gets its name from the Atlanta slang term “trap house”, a house used exclusively to sell drugs.

    Trap also applies to a subgenre or EDM now, but my point is putting “conscious rap” and “trap” as the genres of the same song is a bit of an oxymoron, unless they are rapping about selling drugs that expand your consciousness.

        Oh it’s from genius? That makes sense, those tags are user/lyric editor determined. Theres no way I’m tracking that person down to provide a history lesson 😂

          Yes, users are the ones that provide tags.

          Let me know if you find a better source for tags/genre, I would greatly appreciate it!

          Thanks agian for taking the time to explain, have an awesome day!
