TRAP HOUSE
THE TRAP HOUSE! It can be heard in all the latest rap songs! Uttered by all the thugs, and hustlers that Rome the streets; Praised as the spot where they sale their drugs from. To be 100% Real with you ; i am guilty of frequently using the term to describe the very same thing, lol. But while as was incarcerated in Florida Prison System- just that "TRAPPED"; I was compelled to think about the origins of the term. Isn't that IRONIC? TRAPPIN got me TRAPPED in a 8'10 cell, lol! Crazy as it seem, in the streets where young kids, turn t thug, and hustlers for the money & fame that it's known to bring; Seems like TRAPPING will continue to do just that- TRAP! Last year 08 while sitting in my 8'10 cell; i sat down seriously thinking how the term couldv'e came about. I mean, I'm wise enough to know that the government controls the drug game, and very instrumental in creating the criminal class; which lead me to think where such a term could just surface from? Call me foolish, but i am just not convinced that a ignorant young black male can come up with the term all on there own. Especially since they advertise, and glorify being at the trapped; And rapping bout how they make money (cheese) in the TRAP. The more i thought about it; I couldn't help but see visions of a mouse trap, lol! Hustlers, exalt themselves in thinking that they are on top of their game; and can out wit the authorities (govt.) that created the drug trade on the street level. Therefore, to think that you can play it without getting caught in the trap in a set up; But just like that mouse, put a lil cheese in their, and it's irresistible. THINK!
