Drill is all around the globe right now, USA, France, UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Australia, just to name a few countries. It originated in Chicago, but in my opinion the UK (especially London) really made it blow up with their beats. Music wise, the UK got it even worse than the USA, because certain drill rappers have to bleep lines out of their raps because police investigate them and you can actually get arrested because of that. You can find a lot of talent in drill music, but unfortunately a lot of violence as well. It's a real dark world, but also shows you the struggles people live with.

It’s a faulty argument to say that because violence existed before drillrap, drillrap can’t be the root cause of violence and therefore we shouldn’t fight it. Pretending as if there can only be one cause for violence. Drill rap can without a doubt motivate people to be violent and thereby cause violence. Just like music in general inspires people to do all kinds of things; to study harder, to break records, to help others etc. So banning drillrap from big platforms wouldn’t be that bad of an idea at all. Personally, I don’t mind some amount of violence in music, but when a genre/culture focusses solely on stabbing and shooting others, you might want to protect people who are vulnerable (children) by not giving this type of genre/culture a platform Since the introduction of drillrap in my country children of around 12 years old already start to stab each other with big knives

I think it's incorrect to say that music doesn't influence culture. It's not just a reflection of it. It's a vicious cycle- they both fuel each other & round we go. What's the easiest way to break the cycle? Don't celebrate it, imo.

[@alondathomas293]

That's so true. These same things were said when rap started, when rock 'n roll started, and probably when jazz started back in the 1900's The music is not the cause of the problem, the real problems are what have always been societal problems: poverty, racism, lack of access to decent health care, police brutality, sexism, pollution, and others. These have always been the real societal ills, not the music that people have created to express their feelings about it. And rap has been always been connected with violence, since it was invented by black people who grew up in violent areas of the cities they were from. Not all of them, but some.

I'd go so far to say the adage 'stand for something or you'll fall for anything.' Could be implied here.

Roy's song was decent, yet nobody ever talks about the people with all the money. Money and the person that has more than everyone else is the problem. The whole person of color argument being the end all holds no weight when there are several cities across America housing poor whites, Hispanics, blacks and everyone else in little pockets. The main reason these arguments fall on deaf ears is because instead of uniting to fix it, people want to march for their respected race in America. American people start preaching people of color, you automatically start leaving out other ethnicities struggling. Ethnic banner of sure I am surrounded by a bunch of poor people, yet forgot about the lightskinned poor, those Mexicans are to lightskinned, only dark skinned people struggle.

Agreed rap drill or otherwise is an expression of what is happening in their lives. Mostly agree it’s a symptom and not a root cause BUT BUT BUT! It’s also INSPIRATIONAL for anyone wanting to level up out of those negative environments. And that inspiration in turn creates an environment where living violently becomes ASPIRATIONAL if they are to be seen as “authentically” living what is being rap’d about. And therein lies the problem with violent music like drill rap. It creates its own vicious cycle that is spiraling out of control into the larger community.

Trevor Noah has followers to keep. Plus, he doesn't live in the neighborhoods where these expressions are encouraging a coninuation of violence... He's not naive. He's incredibly intelligent... and he realizes that lack of opportunity doesn't equate to lack of respect for life or gratuitous violence... Our grandparents lived in abject poverty but they didn't develop into murderous miscreants... A different kind of culture arose out of poverty; one where we mostly looked out for each other...

Blaming mass incarceration for the violence is no different than blaming drill music for the violence. Drill music and mass incarceration come are the results of the violence. The poverty and broken homes and broken dreams are the cause of the violence. Just because we feel sorry for the people in these communities who live this everyday doesn't mean that we should stop incarcerating them for violent crimes, we all see now what the result of that is too. Before we can work on ending mass incarceration we need to make these communities have something worth living for and then once we know the future is looking better then we can consider rehabilitating people who were violent offenders before.
