I’ve read it as in most your threads, definitely one of my favourite posters on here learnt a lot from you, but the final product ain’t the same, I’m not denying the influence but this type of music isn’t being made by US artists in droves like it is in the UK.

If it is put me onto some artists.


the basic sonics (basic production, edm synths, r&B vocals etc..) are all in american music minus the afrobeat; which, you might hear that type of beat in deep house/tribal house

The sounds that people calling UK Drill even predate Chi Dill and were commonly found in Southern HipHop/R&B.....the same sounds that influenced UK Garage/2 Step-->Dub Step-->Grime


Southern HIpHOp (Chi Drill is really rooted in Southern crunk/trap)

lets the OG UK acts tell you:ufdup:







.....like I said, UK lacks originality. All they do is leech from Black America; then put a slight twist on it and then claim they birthed something original:childplease::camby:


3 Stacks wasn’t kidding when he said the South got something to say :wow:

I didn’t even know the South’s influence went beyond international waters too. A true Mecca of Black musical culture and I say this as an East Coast brotha.

All these UK rappers grew up listening to American rap, even though the UK and London especially is carving out its own sound it still has that heavy influence woven into the style. I dont get why these dudes turn around and say fukk America, if you're doing your thing (and I think Fredo is talented) then just do you and dont fukkin worry about what anyone else thinks. Its dumb for him to alienate himself and it comes across as insecure. People can easily see through the "oh wow dudes so real he doesnt give a fukk" shtick here

Sherglock Holmes is talking big shyt across the pond from his estate. No one takes that accent, flow, cadence or style over drill beats seriously which is why their own producers don’t fuk with that Harry Potter shyt they pump. Enough said. UK Producers defected to America to get any spins and get put on. Dude wouldn’t think about stepping foot in Chicago or New York to talk that. Fuk is he going to do - knife stab from the London Bridge or the River Thames

Lets be for real tho I like the UK, I like them nikkas style they cool Im not on some tea and crumpet hater shyt

But its disingenuous to act like London music and culture scene isnt some b*stard amalgamation of Jamaica, Nigeria and East Coast American music scenes :yeshrug:
But what isn’t an amalgamation of any other cultures. The whole of hip-hop is based off of sampling. The new grime, drill, uk hip-hop whatever you want to call it is holding its own at the moment and is seeing a creative spike atm which is like what US hip-hop used to be. Now its nowhere near on that level and what you have are artists who lack originality and all sound the same, who mumble a lot or just put out wack music. The older rappers and artists like future, griselda etc are the only shining light.
