True, those conditions can be found all over the world but the way they happen in each/every local, channels a unique energy that belongs to said location. This is why Brazil Favela vs Jamaican shanty vs American hoods might have similar crimes/stories but it's done with a different flair in each example. UK dudes thinking they're crips/bloods or the imagery used in UK Drill just shows another example of imitation
Crips and bloods? Again someone else who has never been in the UK. Watch the drill videos and see them with their ballys on faces hidden because they are wanted, have committed gun and knife crimes and don’t want their identity known. They are making music videos and covering their faces! This isnt for showbiz like you fake ass Americans.
Police were trying to shut down drill music because it was real street shyt and real beef going on, it was used as a way of communicating to the opps and bragging almost. We dont do this for fun like most US dudes and for money, shyt is real in them streets. How fake are most of these new US rappers who don’t do the stuff they rap about, fake jewels, aren’t really even from the hood.
you think sadly only Americans have hoods and violence and only your black people are struggling. The struggle is everywhere. The struggle here is real. Our drill music is a reflection of that. Yours is a reflection of how fake most rappers are.
this isnt about your social economic problems. But you praise the same fake people who don’t do shyt for their own people and just kill each other. Pop Smoke, Nipsey and the list goes on. Its about music, which is a reflection of society and socio economics and how their own plight. We are keeping it real.
what angers us is that nobody from the US on this forum shows any love. Yet if you meet real people from the hoods, streets, the shows, the people who go out and about to shows and concerts and really branch out. They are the people who show appreciation for uk music.
the coli has a bunch of fake people who dont really represent the core hip/hop fans. Most of you jump on bandwagons and quick to hate on everything without having your own opinion. Countless threads about an album not being hot and being garbage when you go out to these rappers shows, or listen to what people play on their cars and in school and colleges etc its the same music you are hating on.
go outside once in a while. Put away your phones and reduce that post count. Have a fukking life where you go to enjoy all sorts of music. Stop being so closed off and realise a whole world exists out there . (when all this is over, till then stay safe)
