Interesting that you say this. The whole grime scene was influenced by house breakbeats. If you listen closely you can hear the resemblance between the two.It really makes since due to Chicago being the birth place of house music and footwork. But yes as you said drill takes from foot work and house music. Which both are extremely big in chicago.
Oh and footwork in chicago is as old as house music. Kids were doing footwork dances in the 80s. Kats would flip a house music beat and make a loop of it in order to do footwork dances to the music.

Nope. I asked a simple quote and you dodged. Quote yourself. What is drill?
Since we’re being purposely obtusea hand tool, power tool, or machine with a rotating cutting tip or reciprocating hammer or chisel, used for making holes.
As we know it, “2020’s Drill” is a mixture of the structure of late 00’s UK grime and the 808/hi-hats of Chicago drill music. Also the whole style and lyrical context is heavily Chicago drill based. The whole calling out opps style
People downplay the influence of grime bc it’s relatively unknown and fell off, even in the UK once drill hit. Most of it has roots in house music.
And Wiley needs a mural in every city that bit off grime. Including NY and Chicago. And breh, leave DJ Kenn outta this. He was an okay producer but didn’t really produce much shyt of substance compared to someone like Young Chop, who blows him out of the water anyday
Put that mural up with all the grime legends for good measure

yeah, I've seen footage of old school footwork crews from the late 80's/early 90s.It really makes since due to Chicago being the birth place of house music and footwork. But yes as you said drill takes from foot work and house music. Which both are extremely big in chicago.

most nikkas in chicago never heard of grime though. that shyt didn't influence anybody
It's crazy how much influence Black people have. This shyt started in Chicago and spread all over the world.This “drill” shyt is demonic and I believe has an agenda behind it.
Dont get me wrong I fukk with it, esp Chicago drill (NY, UK & other drill scenes are to me), but I noticed a slight attitude shift when I listened to it religiously. I started to feel on “edge” all the time. Music can influence the subconscious. That’s why I dont listen to drill as much anymores besides working out cuz that shyt can definitely influence you to catch a charge if ur not strong willed.
And once a drill scene emerges in any city it creates a string of senseless violence. Look at how much more violence UK has seen since drill got hot.
And @ Italian drillers. I can’t take a buncha Milano pretty boys seriously, the Mafia tho
I remember when dikkriding was the ultimate sin in hip hop
now it’s nothing for “artists” to emulate other rappers’ sounds flows styles etc. smh
fukking disgust
Since we’re being purposely obtuse
Notice how I made a specification between “2020’s Drill” - the music this thread is about. AND Chicago Drill.
Drill music is obviously Chicago Drill, Which the elements like “calling out oops” - that you mentioned come from. We are now in 2020, the genre has evolved and fused with UK grime - hence the need to differentiate them.
