I think the sound was too repetitive to really last in the mainstream.

On top of Pop’s untimely demise causing a lot of the genre’s budget to go out the window with fear of liability going forward and a focus on milking his posthumous albums, the lack of financial motivation for star players producers to continue innovating drill music halted as they moved onto more proftiable ventures. AyoAa becoming a part of Kanye’s producer ensemble after Off The Grid comes to mind

yes

Trend? I’m from NYC. It wasn’t a trend but I wonder if you mean how polished it was back then because it’s taken a nosedive

F*** no

Woat era

new york f***ing stinks

It was so bad. The exact same drums.

i wish pop was still here

Just Pop

shawnybin laden type s*** hell yeah. pop smoke type s*** hell no

i really get upset about what happened to him till this day. he was really going to be one of the crossover greats

REAL

no. the music was 'entertaining' but it wasnt worth how it worsened the gang violence (never liked people who blamed the songs before the material conditions that led the kids there) and the niggas who werent smart enough to keep it tongue in cheek are doing bids.

i can think of so many names turned punchlines that actual people are mourning (CHII WVTTS, Rara, Notti, Edot Babyy, etc)

i think i have a Love/reverence for jersey~sexy drill because at least it turned the trend into something fun/generally harmless/new and it seemed like an homage for the direction that Pop Smoke eventually would've headed into per SFTSAFTM

everyone else in here are mostly just out of state/nonBlack hating cus they dont fw drill

Trend for non ny artists and for mainstream artists. Even Drake was making ny drill music.

It had its time

Everyone who was hot got killed, locked up, or signed to a major and flopped

Hard to miss something so grim. I did like the COVID resurgence of street rap though. Lot of energy in that period.

Nope

a little bit lowkey but it got saturated too fast

similiar to uk drill was seen as the next big thing then died yh central cee doing well but other than him its crickets most locked uyp dead or fell off diggga d still does bits has superstar potential other than him its a hard no

no

a sign of NYC rap’s bitter decline IMO

it shows that NYC can’t really make an original sound worth a damn anymore and just jacks other sounds
