That's not a rhetorical question I need an answer I don't want to risk my life for a fried egg sandwich

I did want to mention that pop smoke is half Jamaican (unified field theory of tresillo), but it’s too much of a stretch

All the Brooklyn drill lot are West Indian I think. More so than the Lobdon lot. Seen some comments saying Taze is Sheff Gs cousin. Anyway

Relevant in that according to barti the big difference between Chicago drill and uk drill, apart from tempo, is the tresillo Rythm, the dancehall pulse. He said David drake was too dumb to notice this fundamental difference but it would help explain why the Brooklyn lot use the uk template and producers

I suppose the propensity towards those drill beats may have come from the West Indian thing.

Don’t think there’s any of the ‘carni flows’ though.

Hard to see it now through a fog of faux-mockeny Guy Ritchisms and Dick van Dyke, but maybe rhyming slang carried that same sense of cryptic threat bitd.

As it happens, Mary poplins is a go to reference of mine when talking about drill lyrics.

Kuku bop with the harlem bop
I harlem bop with KuKu dons in a frightening block
Bits and bops with the mandem kotch
Ty got nicked for the nicest Glock

The same phonetic playfulness as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I was thinking as I lay in bed this morning not wanting to get out cos there's a hurricane trying to cave my windows in that Barty should do one of those mvuent listens to such and such for uk drill but force everyone to get involved not just overworked mvuent.

When we’re all home tonight Let’s do a group listening to meet the woo 2. I’m enamoured with it.

It’s funny with it because people often talk about UK drill being well produced (and in doing so losing a bit of it’s UK identity). I thought it was all pristine sounding too, but then you here woo 2 and it’s on another level. It sounds like a big budget Hollywood film and makes drill sound like hollyoakes.

You suddenly hear how flat UK drill is, whereas woo 2 sounds relative to space; whether that be cavernous or expansive or whatever.

Danny L Presents: Meet The Woo 2

We're doing a group listening to the album in order in its entirety in a second.

I'll post each track as we go, but this is the whole album if that's easier.
