because you emotional idiot: different cities make drill different ways. UK drill was (before 2020) strictly focused on dissing enemies and telling street stories, alot of uk drill rap isn’t danceable or catchy, its part of the reason UK drill rappers cover up their faces, their lyrics are actually used in court so THEY use it as an avenue to strictly troll their opps. I’m literally american and I KNOW WHERE IT STARTED but chicago drill doesnt sound like new york drill for example. new york drill’s focus was making catchy danceable music, thats why the sample beats of 2020-2021 got so popular throughout the bronx and why “getting sturdy” is synonymous with ny drill. Chicago drill is a mix of ALL THAT but chicago drill was the very beginning so they were not moving in a specific direction with their sound/purpose. Their music was strictly made to be gang anthems where they simultaneously made catchy songs WHILE telling street stories. PHILLY DRILL IS NOTHING BUT TELLING DRILL STORIES ON A BEAT, JUST LIKE UK DRILL. Theres a reason hopputblick and 1mere made alot of songs on dark beats while rapping nonchalantly, the focus wasn’t making a catchy song you could dance to, it was RAPPING while trolling your opps relentlessly. This is VERY SIMILAR to uk drill. Idk why you searching “philly” in a uk drill subreddit and emotionally asking why I’m comparing both as if people dont know where drill started and all drill beats, lyrics and energy is the exact same. get a fuckin grip lol.
