An update and apology...

Yes

Mane fuck what they talking about keep your head up

I just subscribed, all ur past videos are already worth $2 and I know you will have more. PLEASE LOOK INTO DOING A VIDEO ON BRIS FROM SACRAMENTO

How can someone say you're lazy? Scamming? Geezus. Look at your track record. We know who you are.

Put the Ls down, bro lol

I Think I got some Info that can help with the Celeste Rivas Case reach me on IG @Jayo_10x

Traploreross I could really use a job I know this is old but I would apply if I had a chance too

I am heartbroken for you! Don’t let this get you down. You are so good at what you do, I love your work. You are a good person.😘❤️

People have to understand that life happens and people out here always think that someone’s out here doing things to scam other people. That is not you and you are a brilliant person . Don’t let people bring you down. People are gonna say mean things because people in this world are haters, but you’re doing an awesome job and people who support you will understand that things happen in life and it may take a little bit of time. We appreciate you and your videos are awesome.

When your heros show their human!!! Get at me TrapLore Id be honored to join the crew!!!

Bro you have the skills and Passion to do this. It was a good thing that you made the apology video?Because it gave you a chance to dump the junk harboring your heart and mind. Just remember, bro, pick yourself up and keep dusting yourself off cause one day it's gonna stick man!!! Peace Bro.

They disrespected you so much. Maybe you can make a video about Trap Lore Ross sliding for his honor.

I’ve been watching you on YouTube for years! I’m newly subscribed to your Patreon! I am a producer in the industry-you really do great work on research & producing quality content. Keep up the good work. Hope you get a new editing team that serves your content well💙

That dude is disrespectful bro. He has the audacity to say that he can't be bothered when the dude wasted several months of your time. GTfo.

People are literally going crazy over a few $s go onto yt if paying is a problem trap shouldnt have to apologise when the detail he goes into in these vids when you wouldn’t find that anywhere else

I enjoy your content. If I don’t get another video this year, the money was still worth it.

The 3 hour No limit gang video brought me here... i stream video games and its a grind. Keep up the good work. And im from The Chi and respect your work.

How much does it pay, Ross? I'm interested and I was the only white guy in a black family for 12+ years so I have a deep understanding of black culture and rap music. I also was a DJ and have been a fan of your channel since the jump, so I understand how you want your videos to look, feel, and unfold. Your effects, transitions, editing, etc; would all be good to go. Feel free to check out my website magicplants.net and you can see other videos and projects I've done. Cheers

Dude I just subscribed today because I wanted to see more of the King Von stuff and I was SHOCKED it's only $2/mo for access.... Anyone who has watched just ONE video has already gotten their value from that, if not more. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would ask for a refund on $2 after watching the many hours of content that is available here. Shit, I've only watched the video on Glock switches and I feel like I already got my money's worth. Anyway, I'm looking forward to that QR/Tim video whenever it drops. Hope you get it figured out 👍

Don’t worry about it trap lore I’ll pay u the couple dollars or whatever tf forever for these videos. Shit takes a ton of time and research and you always have each and every detail and clip possible. People are always going to complain, shits always gonna go wrong. Keep your head up og you got a lot of shit in front of you. Coming from a mf working a 9-5 in a warehouse u in a good position bro. Just remember it’s all people like me who support you just normal ass mfs 😂

I appreciate the videos when they come out and have been supportive with this pattern of dropping videos as I can see they must take a lot of work. What about releasing in parts with exclusive first looks for Patreon. This long form thing waiting 4 months between videos ain’t working and honestly I think the videos would scale a lot better with parts each could get views plus the long form doc would also get similar views also. could also X the monetisation for the creator and grow the channel more too.

You don’t even gotta explain this stuff bro. It is what it is just keep doing what you’re doing

Look after your mental health and I'm more than happy to wait for the work you put out. Your docos are the long sort of compulsive that my brain and ptsd love. Thanks heaps!

Bro u don't have to explain to me personally cuz i know it takes alot if time to do all the research u need to make these videos without having a bunch of fake shit that isn't true or doesn't have some sort of proof..just the work u have to do alone to get all the info together and then set it all up in a time line with dates and all the info is a huge process..that king von video is proof alone how much u have to do let alone make a script about everything and read it all out then edit the video so everything is right and plus not say things that could get u sued or ur channel strikes which has happened before cuz mfs get hurt about the info u found..the $2.30 iv paid over the last year is like 25$ I know for some it's alot but it worth it for me to wait for a dope one of a kind video..keep up the work man just remeber they call 1090 Jake a vulture too cuz he calls mfs out on thier bullshit so do u brotha❤️❤️💯💯💯🙏🏿✊🏾✌🏾🫡

Yes you are a culture vulture! but you are OUR culture vulture!! Dark times are everywhere and I genully believe a good 80% of all people are shit. Been watching ur vids for years and became a pateon when the von vid dropped. You do amazing work bro!

I always believed that folks did their own edits. But I guess that's for only the ones with less than 1M subs. Your work has always been top notched.

We're still here, Trap! We'll always support you. Just pay attention to the signs. It's always people closest to you that hates the most. Keep pushing and don't let up! It's clear they did that intentionally. Just be glad you got to see it now rather than seeing it when you really reach the top(Which you'll most definitely get there). All of your vids has been top notch, factual, and raw. Absolutely BOMB.

real talk, i just wanted an update so we know the opps didnt get you

This is just a learning experience. Take your time.. We know the next one will definitely a banger!!

I don't usually notice when a content maker goes MIA but you are another case. But at least now I know why . This is a big bummer man ngl. I would just be asking my myself...is it possible? And go from there. Your only patreon I ever suscribed to if that means anything to you.

Take your time. He are going to wait as long as it takes for a nother master piece

Keep your head up bro. There's no one on the internet doing it like you. It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to come back. When it finally happens the people will go nuts and eat it up like always. Its all love!

You got this TLR.. head up bro 💪💪👍👍

Keep your head up. You will get through this.

Best documentaries on the internet... take all the time you need.

I just deleted cause you are lazy as Fuck.

Take your time. I'll wait 2 more months easily.

U got this bro I’ll be waiting when and if the video is released until then I think I’ll rewatch the previous videos.

As a solution moving forward: What about you do hire an agency to produce some animated titles and interludes, and then you could edit the individual segments yourself? That will balance some strong visual shots whilst still getting the project out.

Big fan man, been following you for sometime now. Trust me when I say, I understand your feelings and frustrations with the way things are moving. As someone who has GAD and severe depression, just know things will always get better. There’s a reason for everything that happens and you’ll come out better from this. Find the joy in every little thing you do, even if it’s just 5 minutes one day and 6 hours the next. Love those moments and look back on how far you’ve come, to where you are now brother. I’m keeping my subscription until I can’t anymore, even in the rough financial place I’m in now… because I, like many of your true fans believe in you, in the quality of your content, and in you as a human being. Peace and blessings to you TLR. Much love! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Ross, you’re going to be just fine. It may feel like you won’t right now. Take it from someone who is somewhat of a recluse and deals with crippling depression. You’re going to learn the new software, keep putting out great content (give yourself some time to catch back up), and you’re going to become even more loved and well-known. It’s okay to get knocked down. BUT, YOU MUST NOT STAY DOWN!!! You MUST get back up, speak with a mental health professional, and continue to accomplish your dreams. As far as we know we have only one life to live. Lick your wounds, get up, heal while you’re fighting, and become the documentary creator that you have always been destined by God to be!💖

Awww so sorry to hear you're going thru a rough patch. But just know, trouble don't last always, this too shall pass! Take your time and like the other person said, you don't wanna rush put out something that's not up to par or your standards or a waste of our time and yours! And don't worry about my subscription fee, I'll keep it in anticipation of what's to come CUZ I KNOW IT'S GONE BE FYE!!🔥Plus, it's only a couple dollars, won't send me to the poor house! If I didn't spend it here, I would just trick it off somewhere I probably don't need to be so EHH🤷🏾‍♀️but THANK YOU for the update on what's going on. I look forward to your upcoming GREAT documentary's.... sure wish I knew how to edit tho lol

You’re good man. You charge a very reasonable rate for Patreon and you always put out great content. Happy to support you while you figure things out. Keep going bro.

Don't get defeated! It's not about the L's you take, but about how you bounce back! Take this time to get your team right. Don't rush something that you wouldn't like putting out. Also, don't feel pressured to put out the Quando video as your next video. WE know you'll get to it. YOU GOT THIS!!

You don’t owe anyone an apology bro. You have provided people hours upon hours of content for free on YouTube. You got this bro a wise man once said “there is no progress without struggle” Keep you head up and keep doing your thing. There’s a lot of us that appreciate the content. 🤟🏻

Stop breaking his balls people, he’s the best at what he does and no doubt he will be up and running in the near future. Keep your chin up dude. Staying solid TLG ✌️

No offense at all, but as a buisness owner, this shit happens. People are terrible and it is on you to protect yourself. No back up copy? Do you have a contract that is signed? Do you have an update schedule to work with an editor? You should not be going more than a few days without a progress report. You said this is your livelihood I would suggest stop crying like a bitch and act like this is your livelihood. You can feel bad about it, or you can make a plan, learn from the mistake and do better. Get a contract written up that has set goals and dates for your editor, hold the editor to that contract, and then sue them if they break it. You are running a business man, this entire video is an unacceptable response to the situation. Don’t feel ashamed that you didn’t put out a video, be ashamed that you faced a buisness crisis and cried about it instead of fucking solving it. All love, but holy shit man, get a pair of balls.

I'm sorry to hear that, but life be lifing

Take your time man I’ve gotten my moneys worth in spades we all go thru creative slumps I’m a creator myself

tbh bro i might just be dumb but i’ve tried canceling and sometimes when that 5 dollars gets taken out my account it’s all i’ve got it’s a tragedy

It be like that some bro… it’s goin work itself out

Hey man, been watching for a long time. Don't be down on yourself! I still appreciate your content and have since watched all your videos. I'll keep supporting and waiting on ya. Don't sweat it!

Keep your head up! My boyfriend is a real editor and that is his 9-5 job which he does at a medical school. Reach out if u want his contact info to get ur stuff out! You got this! ❤️

Quality > quantity

TLR as long as you stay transparent and genuine with us when shit gets fuct (just as you did here), your core fanbase will always hang around and hold it down for you through whatever, support you however we can, and patiently await the day we get to celebrate your return! I think enough of us know at the end of the day TLR is human like the rest of us--one human, an independent content creator--not a robot or a corporation. Acknowledging that means acknowledging the human behind all that is the TLR brand we all know and love has to occasionally turn his attention inward and take care of himself; only by allowing him to exist as both the man and the legend can the legend live on! Much love always, TLR.

You lot stepping up shouting editor need to really watch the video twice, my guy can't swallow nomore L'z. #BeSure. TLR, Head Up Bro.. Your good.

You good homie.. it's always gonna be Valleys and peaks my friend. Valleys and peaks.

Eat the Ls to shi W’s 🤣🫡

Your videos are dope we are waiting my boy

Keep pushing my boy

hey bro don’t get down on yourself so hard. you make great content and things happen and we all get in slumps. keep your head up g. we are all human. we all have hardships. I still rock with you and i’m sure anyone with half a brain cell is still going to as well. 💪🏽 stay strong brother we the people look forward to your videos.

The video is the least we worry about. Keep grinding and also try enjoying the struggle. You will come out stronger! Love you my guy and keep your head up! Your documentaries are platinum quality so we all know you’ll get your get back on your feet🙏🏽❤️

You have produced SO much AMAZING hip-hop content, you can take as long as you need. I’m staying subscribed and will be eagerly anticipating your next body of work. Thanks for your contribution to the culture and best of luck with your next project(s).

Bro it's all good take your time. I believe in you!

Hey man listen... I'm older than you. Most of your audience isn't. That means I've had the pleasure of going through more times like you're going through and how to fix them. Things I wish someone would've told me... first all the pity, shame, self doubt, self hate, and all that other shit that makes you want to curl up in a ball and give up, get rid of all that shit right now. The channel isn't over, we fucking love you, the world's isn't crumbling. That is all shit that your mind makes up because we're fucked up, but it isn't true. These are the moments that define you and your career. These are the moments that make you better. Most people are just going to fold because trust me I know it's hard... but fuck that shit you're not going to. You're going to make a promise to yourself that every day you're going to wake up and do all the things you don't want to do. You're going to get started on the unsurmoubtable problem that's killing you inside. Break the problem down into small chunks, "today I just have to download the new software and learn to use it", "today I have to spend 8 hours speaking to potential editors, "today I have to stream for 2 hours", whatever it is man figure it out and make it happen. I know how dark this shit is but bro you're strong and we love you and the world is a good God damn place. You're still on top man not shit has changed except what's going on inside your head. I know you can do this, you're way too strong and you have too much passion but don't let negatively creep in and kill you, all that negative depressing shit in your mind is a disease get it way the fuck away because it will bring you down so low that you stand by and watch everything you love die. Get some kind of content out, start editing, start hiring, start moving forward towards something positive. It's not about how much work you're putting in, it's about what you're accomplishing, accomplish something positive every day and don't stop until you do. I know you can't see it or understand it now, but this moment is going to make you stronger than you ever thought you could be and what you learn going through it will benefit every inch of your life. You're loved bro, highly respected, you're a fucking inspiration. You'll never let me down, you're not letting anyone down, 99% of people are still 10000% in your corner. I want to see you win man and you're going to. Do what you know needs to be done... you've got this. Show yourself you who are. It's all love man. You're going to look back at this moment as the one that took you to new heights.

Your true supporters understand and await patiently. We (or at least I) don’t think you’re a “scammer”; your content speaks volumes! The way you edit, the way your videos are put together and how they are delivered to us, makes the wait more than worth it. We understand the time it takes you to research, edit and etc. So take your time … we know we’re about to get something AMAZING!

Bro it's the vocal minority...I haven't been bothered in any way. I know you, I know you're working. Do your thing man, all love

Trap Lore….my brother in Christ….you could never let me down. What you do is special homie. And if I have to wait a year for next video, I’m chilling for 365 days. Sucks you are in a low place but there’s always darkness before the light. If there a million Trap Lore Ross fans I’m one of them, if there are 100 Trap Lore Ross fans I am one of them, if there are 0 Trap Lore Ross that means I have left this Earth.

Takes as much time as u need to take to get shit right. U put out good product so katz can wait

just come back stronger than ever broski. even boogie down Bronx people like you

I am 100% down to help out with editing I may not be a professional but I can learn quick and I have a few year’s experience so if you see this Ross I got you and you can have my 5 bucks

Trap Lore Ross you are a boss! Take your time and make the videos the way you want. Each one of these are worth the wait!

Trap lore I edit videos dm so we can talk about in detail

Trap Lore my guy you gotta be a better judge of character man. You’re looking 2016 Lyga (aka Tyga) out here! But jokes aside man really appreciate the apology vid and I look forward to you making this Patreon worth every penny in the future. Good luck browski

We're all with you Ross and we all can wait, don't worry about people leaving you, cause that won't happen. Focus on your things, build the right team that will follow your ideas and how you want to go about things and with the right people behind you you'll get more videos done within the less time as the right work atmosphere will boost your creativity and productivity. Keep going bro, you're my top 3 youtubers atm easily. For example I'm watching your old videos every day rn, doing the mo3 video for the 3rd time atm :D

Shit happens in life , real ones will always understand . No pressure on this side that von video was/is a straight classic . Ill be patiently waiting for the next vid . Stay positive your a f*cking champ in my book . That W is deffenetly on its way 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Keep your head up brother. I have been a supporter since the frank ocean video. That was almost 5 years ago. You have delivered bangers after bangers. People need to realize back in the day you pushed out more content because they were shorter videos. When it comes to hip hop documentaries there is no one better than Trap Lore Ross. The hell with what anyone has to say. I’ve been a supporter since day one and I will continue to support you brother. All my fellow true trap lore supporters are patient and we will still be hanging around until you figure it out. Much love brother

dont worry ross u got ppl behind you because the content you make is high quality and you put your heart into it ♥

Plz do not go into that dark place...u will come out of this bigger and stronger! Those of us that are patiently waiting are doing so because we know your videos will be quality work that you have delivered to us in the past so get up dust yourself off and do what you do best...the day ones aren't going anywhere!!

Yo bro you just dropped one of the best documentaries in Hip Hop less than 3 months ago. The same people on your head now will b praising your next video. Keep up the good work.

Bro everyone who's a real one would never even think of trying to pressure you about any uploads, we know what you can do and that it will be perfection so don't you worry, you got this!

A win is around the corner my man! Anyone who watches your channel can see the passion. No one can take away your contribution to the culture. 1000%! Salute.

Don't let anyone get you down man. You make some of the best (if not THE best) docs on YouTube. Overall there's always gonna be those who are upset/let down about everthing. But just know that I, and certainly many others, are still very excited about the video coming up. To be honest I think the 2 dollars every month is a fair trade for the endless hours of watched your docs. Good luck my man and I hope some better luck comes your way.

Already paid for the year. With all the content you’ve given us, which is honestly at a different level than ANY one else’s content, I’m fine with being patient.

TRAP LORE GANG all I gotta say bro

Creating scripts, thumbnails, researching. Listen man it's alot. I have two videos in the works. Your content is rich and we see it. The real ones. Keep grinding. If you even choose to get a group of editors, then have each editor work on a chapter, your content will be a banger. Also if that is the case, I'm open to helping out.

I’ll wait all year for your videos man! Keep your head up! You gunna get through this man. Your videos always fire and your fan base will always be here when your ready to drop

Bro, I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the content that you've uploaded on this Patron so far. I know these videos don't happen overnight, and I appreciate all of the work that you put into this content. Please take your time and be well

It’s cool bro! I don’t think I’d be able to research and do a whole documentary in less than 6 months lol and people are just being unreasonable to call you a scammer. Most of those people calling you a scammer probably don’t even know what it takes to put documentaries together.

Take ur time bro I'm a Patreon I mean I only pay 2 bucks I literally spend that on bullshit everyday so I'm not mad at you.

hang in there brother, you got this. will say a quick prayer for you.

Much love 🙏 completely understand these things take time

i'm an editor and would be happy to work on a TLR project. hmu if interested. experienced working with brands and youtubers for yt content. and do not sweat the wait too much, man. you make mammoth docs that are timeless. people are happy to wait for quality content (look at lemmino, uploads a couple of times a year and it is an event when he drops a new vid).

People care more for your mental health then they do for the videos, please take care of yourself first! Hearing you apologise like that hurt my heart x

Dude take some time off for mental health. You make great content but life is short man. You've probably outlived the majority of the people that you write about. Do less videos a year til you have a stable team. Updates and retrospectives of your previous content would be interesting, just shorter videos. Look forward, and its and experience; not an L. Hopefully you'll remember what made you enjoy making documentaries in the first place.

I know your dedication to the craft, and I appreciate it. Shit happens, and sometimes people you rely on end up fucking you over. That ain't on you. Keep your head up, and keep it moving. I'll be posted here, waiting for the next banger.

Personally bro it hasn’t bothered me at all that you haven’t uploaded anything in a while. I’ve been waiting for something but I know that your process takes a while since you go so into detail with every little thing. And you also have so much content on your page that I just go back and rewatch random things. Now it fucken sucks that you were robbed of that experience of dropping the quando and the youngboy video but I know as well as all your supporters know that you will bounce back stronger and more efficient than before and I can’t wait to see what this new fire inside you brings for us fans of yours. I’m not cancelling my membership anytime soon

don't care boss. keep cookin

Dude, the more I listened the more it bothered me. I'm upping my donations. LIke you gave away gold for cheap with your other videos. If people are this upset they SUCK

I personally don't feel any type of way about videos not being posted(been dealing with my own life), but I do appreciate the communication. Anxiety and depression is REAL, and it would be best if you take the time to deal with your mental health. Regroup and maybe even start at square one. There will be ups and downs in your profession(as any profession). Pace yourself, pick your battles and maybe talk with another creator (that you trust), who has been where you are. Good luck, and thanks again for the communication.

Ok I need you to take a breath! Don’t lose the will to live over this, although I totally get why this sent you into a depression, you didn’t get a chance to capitalize on the King Von video like you wanted, I get it. Many of us will wait now that you’ve explained the situation, it’s not your fault! You got some haters out of your life and need to find new people, it happens!

Don’t trip. But please make that quando and Tim doc. That’s a story that should get out there

Can't believe people are pressing you about it. You don't owe anyone anything.

Ain’t trippin bout 10 dollars bro a month bro you deserve it 💯💯

Fuck your apology come out with a video fam. why am I paying for this page if nothing comes out

Cant say i didnt jump up when I got this notice :😜. But shit happens, best hiphop docs on youtube, and i pay as long as you keep going! And please clarify, are you scrapping YB and Quando doc? Because i got more hype by hearing you talk about it :😀

As a content creator, I definitely understand man. It gets draining. I don’t think you are a scammer. Especially for the price. The catalog with the uncut videos are worth it for me. Keep your head up man, we are here for you! Can’t wait for that return But I must ask.. why don’t you start editing yourself?

Keep your head up Ross. Take your time and figure out what works best for you and the channel. You’re an absolutely magnificent creator and it sucks you haven’t had luck with the outsiders helping you. Things will work out in time and we’ll always be here to support.

Fuck the haterrs. If no one can donate $2-$10 dollars for this incredible work then they are the issue. Not you. I’ll wait for the next video.

Keep your head up and keep going. Stuff happens that is life the real supporters are going to stick with you. Can’t speak for anyone else but I know I am not unsubscribing

Same, 2$ is really a steal for all da work bro be putting in , all yall jus luv to hate and that’s cool and all but give a mf a break like bruh if you’re actually trying to get all the lore , it’s pretty much out there. Much love from Tx bruv

It’s not that deep bro shit happens don’t trust anybody. Charge it to the game and keep it moving. I won’t be unsubscribing anyway looking forward to the next vid keep your head up. #traploregang

Losing the will to live??? Come on man. Dust yourself off and just keep pluggin away. Take the L and move on.

I originally wrote some dumb crap before watching the video I'm sorry I get that bro I am with you 1billion percent Ross you make documentaries like no other You're amazing The best it's ever done it I respect everything you do and I thank you and the $2 I'm not worried about thank you for everything you've done and dropped so far. I see you have true passion and dedication on what you do I respect you for that You're not a culture vulture in my eyes You're a man who has a love and a passion for what you do I've seen that since first video

Your splitting 2 lanes right now. You make good content but your not confident in it. The stories you cover do not get the coverage on YouTube due to their subject matter. Everyone will criticize, I pay fucking $2 a month. That means if I get a documentary every 6 months that’s $12 a documentary. Totally fine dude. Less than a movie ticket. The people here should be here to support you because YouTube doesn’t. Support yourself, be confident, make even more content no matter the controversies lol. I’ve been subbed since the clout chronicles of 69, happy to see the channel grow so much

I'm not tripping about the 2 bucks but definitely look forward to the content.

PUNCHMADE ROSS! JK all love. Keep at it you nerd!

Man I signed up on patreon like 2 months ago and there hasn't been a single new video... im giving one more month and then I'm unsubscribing.
