The other thing that makes a superstar is that we dont really want someone that is or seems currently active. The fake rap fans non hood non blk fans may ideolize that, but we want you talking about your street shit...but from the past. Not Actively doing it Right Now. Thats the main problem with a lot of these fake rapper drill dudes. They gangsta 1st...rapper 2nd. SMH 🤦‍♂️ Thats why Im Never quick to overly support drill artist...cause idk what they about and what toxic shit they about to push on our culture. The perfect balance of street and mainly artist that was very believable...was 50 Cent. He was the perfect balance of that. I think Casanova couldve been another as well...if he wasn't still gang affiliated. Pop had similar qualities to both of them...and had All the other intangibles when it comes to the music and personality, so thats why we put him in that regard.

[@weshouser821]

I feel like it's because 50 was honestly "street guys" worst nightmare. 50 doesn't seem like he is straight up evil. He kind of bullys the other street guys actually, and he isn't really someone you can just punk. They can't really deny that he doesn't play, and they can't really gain power over him. He is the kind of guy that has respect from the street guys, but he isn't just hanging out in the hood for no reason blasting the "ops" for clout or some shit and leaving himself wide open. He seems like it's best to just let him be 50. Like, "who the fuck is that dude?", "aw that's boo boo he's cool". Like if you got a problem with him, then you end up with a real problem, so it's best to just give him a pass.

[@RyjonLumetrius]

NY drill, as its known...is/was an offshoot of uk drill (not the vocals)...same general beat type...and not really the same type of beat style as american drill which is kind of a like a tweak on o.g. trap sound. American drill is a less restrictive formula, it can have elements of uk/ny drill but isnt restricted to that specific type of beat

[@RyjonLumetrius]

the 'jersey club' sound is in there too

[@A75MComics]

No one was really rapping, no lyricists, beats were garbage and all sounded the same, no artistry or innovation, Drill is all about the violence, dissing your opps, dancing on graves, and all the associated street violence - these artists are known for their street activities more than songs and their most famous songs are about dissing opps, not much else...

[@millardthomas9059]

Because NY soft and nobody outside NY is gonna take " drill" outside NY seriously. It's the safest big city in America. Most ppl outside NY think it's soft. What makes a rapper certified is when they from a area like Detroit,Chicago,Memphis,etc. Aside from parts of Jersey,Philly, DC and Baltimore ppl think the east coast on general is soft AF. King Von wouldn't be Von if he was from NY. It wouldn't hold weight. Chicago has a graveyard full of rappers and STILL had a decade run. So losing ONE artist shouldnt have tanked NY like that. Rip but Pop Smoke was not a gangster. Maybe in NY but anywhere else? Be for real? Dude got pistol whipped and popped butt naked in Beverly Hills by a 8th grader. That would NEVER happen to a rapper from Baton Rouge or Detroit.If your entire movement is based off one person you failing. And tbh,I never heard of dude or anyone playing his music when he was alive. I only heard of him after he got popped. Drill only belong on one place and that the Raw and I ain't even from there.

I really think it’s too soon to say drill music is failed but I do think the problem is there’s no real stars and drill music because as soon as they become a star, I usually go to jail but there’s tons of drill artist making music and with this kind of theory, there will always be the music, but there will never be any stars. I’m not a big fan of drill music myself. I do think it’s really too negative and the only people who listen to it are either really in the streets or just very young.
