Great album. They fell off hard after that.
This album gets a crazy amount of repeat play for me. Plus year of my birth so maybe it was meant to be.

Real ones know all about Big Pun. YEAHHH BABY!!!
As a Puerto Rican from The Bronx, this is one of the few MCs we can brag about. A true lyrical heavyweight right here (pun intended

Eh, each to their own. For me 2 was back to back bangers and 3 was back to back skippers.
How about that ‘4’ though?
Haven’t actually heard it yet. Will have to check it out

Houston had some BANGERS back in 05’. They were playing non-stop on MTV 2 back in the days (simpler times).

Please let me know what you think of drill, the new subgenre in hip hop made popular by Bobby Shmurda and then Pop Smoke
It sounds very generic to me. The same tired old quantized drum patterns, autotune to make up for lack of singing talent, 808s and bland materialistic lyrics with very basic rhymes. How does this subgenre even differ from trap other than a slower bpm?

When I think of drill I think more in line with people like chief keef, lil herb, king louie, fredo santana, and more in the very early 2010s stuff, things somewhat died off fairly quick after that. While pop smoke is something that could be considered drill, I think it’s personally too generic and poppy now, somewhat missing the same energy of the past. I don’t really have an opinion on Shmurda
Chief keef:
Lil Herb:
(actually a remix of Bobby’s track that I personally think is better executed)
King Louie:
And so on
Others I didn’t mention:
But personally I think the peak of this genre is early 2010s, although I still like what lil durk is doing in keeping things moving forward somewhat while capturing a bit of what was had in the past. I personally don’t like the trend of things getting insanely watered down to be appealing to the pop audience, things just get too samey and you just lose the main audience of the genre in the process. At least speaking for myself here lol

Doesn’t seem like it’s too new to be honest lol. But hip hop is still kinda young as a genre anyway… will say my thing with drill is US does it pretty bad it sounds rather generic as previously stated. The influence on grime rap though results in a much better sound with UK drill and enjoy the sound of UK drill much more. My issues with drill come from the lack of creativity in rhymes as kinda a staple of the genre. Lacks a lot of what I appreciate from rap itself. Which are double entendres, metaphors similes and general poetry associated with hip hop. It feels like the lazy little brother of gangster rap from the 90’s.
Also I think the song you posted isn’t a great song to represent what drill is about. Drill is about the realities of street and gang violence. Born out of the violence seen everyday in Chicago as it’s a historically Chicago born sub genre. While this song may have some drill staples especially the trap influence not really repping the genre as it lacks too many drill staples being a bit more of a song bragging about how he literally fucks women and apparently fucks them well.
