Why Have So Many Countries Adopted Drill Rap?
Watch Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World on PBS: https://www.pbs.org/show/fight-power-how-hip-hop-changed-world/
Drill music started in Chicago over a decade ago and has since spread to cities across the world. From London to New York City, we explore how this influential genre has inspired and shaped the rap scene in different corners of the globe.
In this video, we’ll take a closer look at how London’s drill music scene was heavily influenced by the raw energy and dark lyrics of Chicago drill music like Lil Durk and Chief Keef. We’ll also examine how London producers, in turn, inspired the drill sound in New York City.
To gain further insight, we’ll be speaking with D Munna 1Hunna, an up-and-coming drill rapper from the Bronx. He’ll share with us what sets New York drill apart from the rest and how it’s been influenced by the drill scenes from other cities around the world.

I love how they say Chicago and young chop was "influenced"
by trap and Waka Flocka sound.
They outright stole it.
Then they say New York was "influenced" by the UK drill sound.
New York outright stole it.

The skyrocketing of any genre typically has something to do with governments and states trying to squash it. Have they not learned lol

Saying Ice Spice bring up feminine energy to the scene is a wild and worrying statement.

It's the essentially neoliberal music genre. It's civil war in audio form.

"Negative connotation"? Drill is basically ALWAYS negative, unfortunately. As someone who listened to it a LOT over the years, to ignore the fact that it encourages retaliation and disrespect to dead people, as well as other clearly anti-social behaviors is just foolish. I just can't condone this culture anymore.

I always wondered why UK drill was even called drill given that it sounded nothing like the drill from Chicago

This story is how people cannot think for themselves and how the puppet masters use the media to control the masses and make them accept whatever they want them to, even if its absolute garbage.

Where's the music? Drill? This is heavy hot garbage. No bars no melody…you guys are mudding the waters. This is a joke. Destroying real music.

dope video but they left out the part where the drill sound got updated with African, Caribbean and Asian influences. In the underground euro rap scenes a few years before the pandemic I think. Setting the scene for Pop Smoke

Most people I chat with tell me that it's actually the uk drill sound (the tressilo bounce, bubbly bass and misplaced snares) that is actually drill to them

Once the industry gets a hold of your sound, you can be replicated. Stay independent. Stay protected. Move smart. Own your music. Don't take deals unless they give you partial ownership. You can't change the game overnight… Just get you and your family portion. If you don't you know how the saga goes, do your research.

YALL MENTIONED ROAD RAP, YALL REAL ONES FR! seriously, a lot of younger listeners don't realize the road it took for uk to get to their current drill sound. uk hiphop + grime > uk trap + road rap > uk drill

There's a very important producer name missing in this story that shaped the modern sound of drill his name is DJ L

Youth culture is extremly overrated by society. Today everything has been done. ITS time adults learn to BE Young again and dont hide behind beards and bills instead of using the youth as Projection to compensate their own misery stucking in a Robot Trap theyself choose by weakness.

UK Drill needed his own episode tbh. Respect on the video though.

Other things wrong from the video is that Cardi B's first track was not at all drill. Drill music has two distinct sounds and styles, one is the Chicago style and the other is the UK style. Outside of Chicago, Bobby Smurda and Rowdy Rebel almost all other drill is of the UK style.

You guys mispronounced Russ Millions name. Russ is short for Russian, in London that is slang for a gun. Russ' name should be pronounced like "rush." 22gz's name was also mispronounced, it originates from his alternate name TuTu Blixky. Therefore it is pronounced like two separate 2s.
