Did the Chicago drill scene do anything positive for hip hop/the culture?

No one other than teenagers thought drill was cool. And if it wasn’t for drill music those souls would still have ended up doing the same thing anyway. There will always be a bottom barrel in a group of people, and they will gravitate toward destruction.

these little 90 pound skinny Jean wearing kids with sheisty masks would have still been robbing people in loose sagging jeans and stocking cap masks


Nah I was on the forums back in high school and there were 100% some grown men hyping that shyt :ufdup:

Agree with most of this, but you have to figure that a certain % of people are followers. And young impressionable followers were influenced by the "glamorous" lifestyle presented around drill music content and imagery.
Same way that earlier generations of followers bought into other popular music content glorifying street life.
Even kids who aren't from areas where it's part of their real life surroundings.

I think the CDC had to release public safety warnings advising adults following dumb social media trends about the dangers of what they were doing. Grown men and women eating Tide packs and other foolish shyt. If working adults are that impressionable, picture the kids.

That "follower's gene" is something else.

All it did was push the stereotype that black men are violent savages to a new generation.

Keep in mind that racists and anti-black sentiment has to be CREATED ANEW EVERY GENERATION....nobody is born racist


Every generation, the world has to be CONVINCED that black people are the most undesirable group, and this has been done throughout history using "entertainment".

Back in the old days they used propaganda like racist cartoons/movies and Minstrel Shows to tell the world that black people were more prone to criminality and violence than everyone else.

Propaganda in the form of "entertainment" JUSTIFIED to the world that black people were better off locked in prisons away from the rest of society.

Drill music was simply a modern day Minstrel Show over hot beats that showed the world how "savage" black people are. An entire generation of people consumed the imagery of black men telling the world how prone to violence they are.

No other group of people on earth would've allowed their image to be represented by such a degrading artform
