I'm watching a BBC show and it's full of trap beats

    Do more people like trap than they lot on? I haven't watched bbc in years but I'm shocked at the choice of sounds. I can't imagine an exec in his 50s okaying the music.

    I seem to remember a programme on BBC2 in 1983 featuring interviews with Grandmaster Flash, Cool Herc, Africca Bambaata etc about the origins of Rap and Hip Hop and that was just as it was gaining traction here in the UK.
    Just because the Beeb isn't generally known for being in tune with what's going on in the real world, don't assume that everybody there is against it.

    who told you execs are in their 50s? And even so, if you are a producer or have the say on musical choice depending on the subject it should be your basic task to make the right choice.

    off topic but I thought it was cool that the BBC commissioned Squarepusher to do the soundtrack to this children's chill-out programme

    I think it was an 'Arena' Special documentary

    This is the one I meant.. Not sure whether or not it's still in circulation though.

    @OP

    That's how you now trap is cooked and there is something else coming around the corner. When you've got pensioners and soccer moms pulling up the drive through blasting something you know it's on its way to the scrap heap.

    To the OP. I knew rap was doomed, when all artists named Lil, big, gunna, cash, and women twerking on commercials and prime time TV. Game Over!!!
