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.

Yeah if you slowed down the Schooly D song it would definitely have more of that type vibe.

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.


yeah juke music big in Chicago. I’m not saying trap the only influence, but the main direct influence. Of course plenty of shyt influenced trap as well.

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

they're indirectly influenced by it though

I would argue that this single song changed the course of hiphop culture forever.

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.

Yes. I think the influence of Parliament Funkadelic played a huge part in their sound

true.

ice t and nwa's music from the 80s sounded much more like psk, and less like that funky sound that they developed a few years later

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.


When you said former service man, and drill and March are you talking about literally doing army marches to drill music?

I don't know if the two are related. Interesting if that is what you mean on a deeper level.

Psk and Schooly D influenced all rap as a "vibe" I'd say. It's just sinister, dope and feel good overall. A cool track to this day.

So isn't safe to say that schooly D influenced or pioneered drill (although what is know as drill didn't about 30 years later.)?

For pioneering, I wouldn’t say so. I’m sure you can find other songs from artist in that era that if you slowed it down, it may have a drill tempo. And probably some where you don’t have to slow it down. If you look hard enough you’ll find all that shyt. I think it’s a big jump to say Schooly D pioneered drill. But influenced, yes. Although, we probably disagree on the amount of influence. I think it’s minimal at best, where it sounds like you think it’s a little more. It’s a healthy hip hop debate though

Jesus Christ both the Ice T and Eazy tracks sound like clear sound rip offs of Psk - but it was all love and they grew their own ways.

But it's incredible how influential School D was! That's real influence. Make you do things music....make you run in the studio and make music...music.

he influenced ice t before eazy e.

yes, west coast is more funky but sonically real G-funk took some years to evolve. before that, there were more basic funk samples that even NY artists were doing, like de la soul, so it wasnt necessarily a major style difference until it became more sophisticated G-funk by artists like dr dre in the 90s.

I've gotten the schooly D's vibe from both tracks. Both sound lokey drill to me too.

Yes, get in step just marching around and you'll get what i mean. The swing drum beat and the high hat just ring a bell to me and the flow
