I don’t know about all that.

But cheers to Rihanna and Flo Rida for getting that dance club money over the last 20 years.

He should have replaced "dirty" with "dusty" and this would be a 10/10 message. Drill music just amplifies the violence and I have been saying this for years. Got drill defenders saying "it's just music", people don't wanna listen to that negative ass shyt.
It's the worst music cuz not only is it violent it doesn't push any boundaries creatively

I said it for a long time, there is no financial advantage for rapper to make explicit songs.

Radio friendly songs get way more play, get used way more in commercials. get sampled more, and are generally much more highly profitable.

Only reason they curse or at least don't make a clean version of the record is because they like being broke. or think keeping it real is better than money.

Anyone who thinks more than 1% of these drill rappers are making more money than ordinary people with respectable careers is crazy.

Music industry is hurting right now and the general public don’t know who these people are.

There’s less money in it than the below average streamer and that’s saying something.

That’s rap music period. For every drill rapper there’s some “positive” or backpack or “fun” rapper that’s broke also.
