not really feeling this London drill shyt musically (not hating, its just not for me),
but the 300 days of no sun a year plus the brutalist architecture and concrete jungle feel of South London has helped spawn some of the best music known to man. besides Rap , the UK was miles ahead of the US with music. much more open to different shyt, much more 'culture' in general. its almost a little sad seeing the worst parts of US youth culture have such an influence on the music over there...
imagine
not seeing the sun for 2 months, being broke as shyt in the most expensive city on earth, waking up everyday to your neighborhood looking like some dystopian bladerunner shyt
londons musical influence on the entire world is second to none. i know these young ass kids are wilding and doing their thing but musically its a far cry to what the youths in the 90s/2000s were doing. today kids everywhere are influenced by what they see online and what everyone else is doing, instead of drawing unique influences from what is right outside of their front door & music is suffering because of it
also please tell me none of these london kids are claiming GD, Blood, etc...
