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.

I was referring to Chicago drill in my post. That was the original drill sound, but then drill evolved from there and now you got NY drill with their own sound and UK as well. So I wasn’t speaking about all drill, just the original Chicago drill, then it evolved from there

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

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.

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.

the original drill sound (young chop, dj smylez, paris bueller) is basically a derivative of lex luger style trap music and memphis crunk

the UK/BK drill sound, that comes from dj L, 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.

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

The chief keef music you you've posted is something i can imagine a platoon marching to. It has the elements of the sound from schooly D but slower. Schooly D's was more like double time (2x) on a faster rate.

true,

But the uk and brooklyn guys, for some reason, seemed to have a liking for that early g herbo/lil bibby sound (mostly produced by dj l ) which had elements of drumline percussion and juke/footwork.



I remember like 2014-15 a lot of uk guys were the main ones making "chiraq g herbo lil bibby type beats" on youtube. Of course they added their own flare to it and it became its own subgenre of a subgenre lol.

schooly d influenced west coast gangsta rap. these young chicago dudes probably dont even know that song exists

Schooly D influenced eazy e, but ain't west coast gangster rap was more funk than boom bap? Yeah i've heard early days of nwa songs, but when west coast gangsts rap is brought up, heavy bass line and the funk element is bought up to ky mind first.
