Sounds like drill to me...

You can probably trace back elements of the sound if you look back. But for all intents and purposes, the drill sound was mostly inspired by trap music, particularly Atlanta trap music. Just a slower tempo, and with more demonic content. But I will say Atlanta trap is the father of the actual sound when it comes to beats, and the content is more violence based than hustling based like trap music.

not chicago drill?
So the track i posted above doesn't influenced drill artists? Or am i way off and the schooly d's track is irrelevant? I can march to this shyt bro.
I mean, you could maybe trace it all the way back to that, but I doubt any of these little Chicago drill dudes were growing up listening to that track. It’s like young dudes in the NBA today being influenced by Kobe but you could say he was influenced by MJ who was influenced by Dave Thompson. But these young cats don’t even know who Dave Thompson was.
edit - misunderstood what OP was saying so my post is irrelevant. But I spent too much time typing it to erase it so I’ll leave it there
I wouldn’t say it’s irrelevant, but you would have to do some type of drill lineage chart, and by time you worked your way back to Schooly D, you would have went through many other artist and sounds as well. So I’m not sayin it didn’t influence the sound, but it was more indirect than direct
The schooly d track I've posted in the op.. am i off from the point im trying to make?
I've listened to alot of 80's and 90's rap despite being born in 92 and in the DR but Schooly D's early tracks has a distinct type of sound too me. Yeah it's boom bap rap but it got a drill rythym to it too
Maybe I'm taking the context of the term drill to seriously.
the UK/BK drill sound traces its origins from juke/footwork music( which is basically a descendant of the old late 80s/90s ghetto house tracks )and drumline music.
schooly d was more of a direct predecessor to west coast guys like ice t, nwa. with that old school 909 bass kick.
I don’t disagree that it may have had some indirect influence, but I disagree that it has a drill rhythm. It’s so many sounds removed from what the original Chicago drill sound was. To me, that sound was directly inspired by trap. This is a quintessential drill song.
The elements in the beat like the double time hi hats, the 808’s, the chant throughout the beat, the riser. That’s the trap sound. Then they just rapper on slower tempo, more sparse versions of those beats. I don’t see to much direct influence from the schooly d songs.
true,UK and NY drill trace they origins to Chicago drill, as when they first started doing drill, they were literal exact clones, down to the slang and dances. Then their sounds ended up evolving. But they were influenced directly by Chicago drill
I agree with the Schooly D point though
schooly d was more of a direct predecessor to west coast guys like ice t, nwa. with that old school 909 bass kick.
schooly d influenced west coast gangsta rap. these young chicago dudes probably dont even know that song exists
