the so-called "Uk drill" (the one NY is doing right now) sound came straight from Chicago via Dj L. That's what @How Sway? was getting at here




so no matter how you cut it, it all goes back to Chicago, whether it's foundational Chi Drill or the DJ L variant sound that also came from CHicago

uk drill has its own sound

uk drill is straight from chi drill

even the recent UK grime was influenced by CHi Drill





Listen to what Diz says about modern grime





UK Grime's recent rebirth is directly tied to it's borrowings of Trap/Drill flavorings


It should have been Britain's answer to hip-hop – and just as influential. Why didn't it happen – and is this finally its moment?

There certainly appears to be a renewed interest in grime in 2014. In recent years, many grime producers have become influenced by trap, originally a style of southern US hip-hop; for grime purists this was a disaster, but for a new generation raised on funky house, bassline and deep house, it offered a totally new experience: it put grime in a position where it could be considered seriously as a member of the dance family, but did so without the music losing its essence. "The way grime is now, today, influences people without them even realising," Skepta says. "Beyoncé's Bow Down, to me, that could be a grime tune. If it's electronic and 140-ish bpm and people go crazy to it, to me that's grime. The lines are so blurred right now."

Can we honestly say we’re that culturally different though, if a place like Toronto gets love from us and Toronto black culture is almost a mirror image of Londons

if Uk folks started switching up their accents they could probably pop off but if they did folks would say they tryna be fakes but people from Toronto do the samething and don’t get called out so I can’t why they can’t do it to

Breh nobody in the US gives a fukk about Toronto. Drake is a megastar, so naturally he’s gonna make his city more popular, but the US has no interest in Toronto. If you travel around the world, you truly start understanding why a lot of countries don’t fukk with us. We arrogant as hell over here lol. Fair or not, we be feeling like we too cool to care about cities like Toronto and UK rap and shyt. We set most the trends and everyone else follows, so we don’t really fukk with rap music outside the US. Other types of music, it’s not as serious.

coli isnt be all and end all. A whole country has heard of him and drill rap and uk hip hip is in the charts too your fav rappers borrow from uk rap and pay homage like Drake. Just because the average american doesnt listen to Fredo doesn’t mean he hasnt made it. There are other countries in the world like Australia, New Zealand, a whole Asian continent

Facts. Because even IRL, nikkas that actually know better know Chicago is the Mecca to this Drill shyt.

Also, since you mentioned Asia, NZ, Australia, etc., I wonder whose rap music gets the most play in those countries and continents, Brit or Yank?

fredo just trolling

tbh alot of people are snob ish towards other cultures or all

its funny cause now all uk rappers can be on the same level as a rapper from the states , we getting the same money , we no longer look to murica as the # 1 spot

it doesnt matter where youre from or what you sound like

 

[NVious]

I don't give a fukk. Yall corny British nikkas need to keep our names out yall mouths and worry about Brexit or whatever.

I forgot all about Lady LeShurr She was dope when she made noise with that Queen Speech joint out here. I thought she was a brief bit of fresh air from the Iggy Azalea invasion of commercial Hip Hop at the time.

Drake? nikka ain’t even from here He from a suburb out in TO, of course a Toronto nikka would bite “y’all sound” lmao

Hold up did he say aint no strip clubs in UK

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







.....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
