Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to get into the Florida drill rap scene. Now, of course, this is a subgenre of the main genre hip hop. And the biggest thing about drill is that it just seems like if you want a long career as far as musically and hip hop, drill seems to be complete opposite of that and of course i'm going to try to be respectful throughout this whole breakdown of drill but the more and more i get into the details of what is the result of this type of music the more and more i just despise everything about it i mean this genre is basically a machine of death basically and it's very unfortunate the way that people promote this type of music and I don't want to sound

like an oh head because of course I'm not but I think from the outside looking in a track like who I smoke who literally got their sample cleared by the original artist to put out on all DSPs that's why if you go to a DSP like let's look at it right quick if you go to a DSP the the only way you can put music on there is if you get stuff cleared right who i smoke is literally out right now on all dsps you go to the credits and try i'm bring it up you go to the credits and is put out under cinematic music group slash at k slash 18 records that's the real culprits as far as who should be responsible for this track coming out Because using a popular sample clearing it for the DSPs, a track, literally bragging about taking people out of off of this earth is beyond inhumane.

So I just want to get into the crecipus of it, right? What is the origins? What is the foundation of this thing we call Florida drill? What is this in all actuality when it comes to the overall landscape? into hip hop so before that i want to get into the reason i'm even covering this julio passed away of course rest and piece of filio but the long-standing beef between young and ails and folio has a lot of history and i feel like it just needs to be broken down and disseminated to the public because a lot of people are just completely oblivious to what's happening and why it's such a big deal so basically

Fulio, Young and A's beef started around 2017, stemming from a lot of rivalry between the respective crews, Fulio's crew is KTA, which is kill them all. Very creative, right? And then Young and Aces crew, ATK, A's top killers, which is a little bit more creative. This tracks and shootings became the norm as tensions escalated with these two rival gangs.

So with that being said, a lot of incidents happen in the midst of their rivalry. Like in May 2017, Fulio's 17-year-old cousin, 17, mind you, your old cousin, Zion Brown, was fatally shot and associated with an associate of young Nays. D.N. Trey Thomas was later charged with a murder and retaliation. Ace's brother, Trayvon Bullard, and two others were tragically killed in a drive-by shooting in 2018. So when it comes to music, it's far beyond music. It's far beyond the surface level who I smoke track. It's actual real rivalry that's been escalated and extended throughout the music.

because when Young and A's put out the track, Who I Smoke, going at Fulio and his KTA group, Fulio responded with the track When I See You, featuring shots at a graveyard. I want you to realize how just bottom of the barrel as far as quality and as far as content these people are reaching that to get a certain rise in popularity and financial gain.

Fast forward 2024, Fulio has passed away due to a shooting and being shot and killed. And seemingly, the beef with Young and Ace and Fullio remains active as Young and A's recently dropped a news news. song and video titled Game Over, which I cover, just type in Youngen Ace, analytic dreams, and it sure pop up. But basically, Young and Ace is still dissing Fulio even after he died. And now, interestingly enough, Fulio's Instagram account labeled the video trash, even though Fulio passed away. So somebody has an Instagram account talking about reincarnation, putting a post about or reincarnated the I believe in this or that

really just harping upon certain ideologies as very demonic, right? So with that, they responded to a young and a niece diss towards Fulio and calling a trash and the feud between

the two gangs just seemingly would never end. So that being said, let's just get into the, into why this is possible in the first place, which is Florida drill rap. This is the whole reason why this is able to happen in the first place. Because if you think about drill, I mean, it originated in Chicago back in early 2010s.

So one could say it's because of Chicago that this is even a genre in itself. And one could say it's because of academics that this is even a genre in itself. All of these young black kids killing themselves because they see financial game from talking about and rapping about the ops dying. If you don't remember, academics had a whole phase in his career where he covered Shirek, which was titled War in Shirek, included superhero-like characters like Chief Keith, Little Reese, Little Dirk, and he talked about them as if they were superheroes in the midst of actual people dying in Chicago, which is very unsettling.

unsettling for a lot of people in Chicago who just want to make an honest living. And now they have to worry about the whole street being shot up because of a beef that's going on and somebody who's not even in this situation covering it, calling it the ward in Shirek. Think about that. So anyways, Florida basically mimicked Chicago and developed his own subgenre of drill rap. And with that, it started to get even more aggressive and more vitriol started to be spewed in the reflection of violence and offering a new street portrayal. But this time, it's in a different location, which is Florida. so because of this fearless attitude towards straightforward delivery in talking about how you kill people

and things attaching itself to that which leads certain rappers from that job most of them either ending up in jail or dead that's where the criticism which myself included that's where the criticism arises because of the explicit content and themes being directly related to the death of youth that is going to be a continuous cycle of violence until it stopped so even though people love drill people love the drilled rap scene that is not and will never be real music that would never be respected real music you think little dirk made a track with uh jay Cole called Oh My Life and it got nominated for a Grammy for no reason. People are congratulating and giving you actual award nominations for switching your sound into a more positive tone because

what you grew up making was murder, kill people music. It's not something that's real substance. Bottom of the barrel creativity is drill rap. Talking about the different ways you can kill a human and take them off the earth. Because hip hop, as far as a long-standing genre, has elements of that, of course. But from where I've seen it made sense or make sense is they're talking about their life experiences. They're not glorifying it. They're explaining what they came from.

drill scene is glorifying killing people is glorifying waking up not even brushing your teeth because you're ready to catch an op-lack and i mean literally go listen to the king don king von documentary many documentaries where king von was uh one of his homies was telling a story on how he woke up and king vaughn was already up running around like it was in the morning he was like man uh we just we just got to go got to kill some today and his friend was taking abet, you know, it's like what are you really

searching for in life when that is your main goal, you know? So, I mean, notable Florida rappers like ex extantacion, ski mask, slum guide, you know, from the Florida scene, Denzel Curry is from the Florida scene and he doesn't

really tap into that drill genre, which, you know, it's something to something to note. It's not all Florida rappers. It's just a Florida drill rap scene. That's what I'm specifically talking

about the drill rap scene. And it's just people say the reason it resonates is because it's from raw emotions and that's just not. That's just disingenuous. You know what this

music is leading towards. And if nobody cares that it keeps taking black young people off the streets as far as off the earth when it comes to violence then I don't know what else to say like the Florida drill rap just drill rap in general is a reason why you would never be respected in the grand scheme of things when it comes to hip-hop you'll always be that genre that continues to shape the the senseless violence in the black community.

So with that being said, click my link tree in my bio. Let me know one of our social media is. What do you think about the drill rap scene and what is your opinion about it when it comes to it being a part of hip hop history?
