Drill Rap - If You Don’t Know, Now You Know | The Daily Show 

Roy‘s track at the end is a world we all want to live in and it’s fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Roy was a beast on that beat😂🔥 He definitely has a mixtape somewhere on the Internet and imma find it 😂

All jokes aside..... That mini rap video at the end is exactly what we need in the music industry. We should be ashamed of destroying our own people.

Son said “drill podcasters”😂😂😂 but he spoke all facts. They’re focusing on the symptom but not the disease

“None of these boys want to shoot at me, too many job opportunities” flow was so smooth haha. Great segment! People make art from what they know.

"Focusing on the symptoms instead of the root cause" The story of the human race

"You wanna ban drill rap but you don't wanna ban income inequality" Mate 🙌🏾

Drill is all around the globe right now, USA, France, UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Australia, just to name a few countries. It originated in Chicago, but in my opinion the UK (especially London) really made it blow up with their beats. Music wise, the UK got it even worse than the USA, because certain drill rappers have to bleep lines out of their raps because police investigate them and you can actually get arrested because of that. You can find a lot of talent in drill music, but unfortunately a lot of violence as well. It's a real dark world, but also shows you the struggles people live with.

"These crypto rappers are out of control we don't even feel safe in our metaverse anymore " 😂😂 what a masterpiece

The last rap piece, showing how things can be, can look like, really powerful!! Thank you so much! If just imagining the possibility of a healthy environment, the change to that possibility becomes possible!!

Trevor's right. But there's a difference between expressing reality and glamorizing violence.

The best piece of advice that anybody who wants to write (books, movies, music, etc.) is to write what you know. Now you're telling a bunch of artists that the things they know and live are inappropriate for the general public. If that's the case then the question becomes why are they forced to live it when most people aren't even supposed to watch or hear it?

I'm old enough to remember when my elders were sure that The Beatles were destroying society. Every generation seems to be terrified of the next.

"One of the most foul mouth rappers Dr. Dre" I'm dead 😂

The danger in drill music are those who aren’t really aware of what it is. Playing the wrong song in the wrong neighborhood just because it’s catchy can get a person killed.

Roy got bars bruh. He needs to be signed ASAP.

Bro this is the 90’s all over again. This is just the new Gangsta Rap.

Man that drill verse at the end 😭😂😂. Man i love trevor and the daily show

I need Roy's rap on a streaming site! That was fire!

Thank you for videos like this Trevor. As a 30-something year old white guy, even after looking up drill rap I didn’t understand it and only thought that it needed to be gotten under control. Your video showed me that it’s just indicative of a problem, not the problem itself. Keep up the great work Daily Show and Trevor, great job.

Rappers control the minds of a whole nation's youth

I F-ing love this...This is how journalism should be used. Thank you!

Oh how I love Trevor and Roy! Roy needs to make an album! But honestly trevor said it best America is quick to address a symptom but not the problem.

I was ready to condemn drill rap but what I like about this show is it gives us the entire argument not the strategic political argument that is being used to advance a political agenda. It's true drill rap is not the real problem and we should stop accepting the hypocrisy of our political leaders.

The way this Man is communicating is ideas and points of vue..... Is Genius :) !

This is always been an issue with street rappers know what they're doing. that rap music is not a healthy outlet for them all it is is a way for them to continue to thrive off of the chaos and menacing and violence that they bring to our communities but have money now to establish more power through the hood it's time for us to take back our streets

I absolutely loved Roy's rap, he needs to do that more often

Love how we still have people complaining about violence in art instead of the REAL violence happening all around the world

Trevor, things were a lot worse 55 years ago but you had Motown and soul. Positive vibes in music. One thing though. Most families stayed together. That makes a big difference.

This was awesome. Thank you 💖

While none of this is new, thank you for making such a poignant, understandable, and hilarious breakdown of this issue 🙏🏾 Also, Roy’s spittin’ hot fire 🔥

Drill rap is under scrutiny but they are continuing to let the ones threatening a freaking CIVIL WAR and committing crimes of hate do what ever they want

It’s a faulty argument to say that because violence existed before drillrap, drillrap can’t be the root cause of violence and therefore we shouldn’t fight it. Pretending as if there can only be one cause for violence. Drill rap can without a doubt motivate people to be violent and thereby cause violence. Just like music in general inspires people to do all kinds of things; to study harder, to break records, to help others etc. So banning drillrap from big platforms wouldn’t be that bad of an idea at all. Personally, I don’t mind some amount of violence in music, but when a genre/culture focusses solely on stabbing and shooting others, you might want to protect people who are vulnerable (children) by not giving this type of genre/culture a platform Since the introduction of drillrap in my country children of around 12 years old already start to stab each other with big knives

I love your take on this Trevor, really topnotch

Totally against violence in music. “Rocket’s red glare, bombs bursting in air…”

I would totally buy Roy's song

😅😅🤣🤣 drill at the end had me rolling

When it comes to violent/ gangster rap none of us are innocent. The labels (if theyre signed) should be held responsible as well because if it wasnt lucrative it wouldnt have gone mainstream.

I remember when politicians would count how many deaths were imitated in movies. They went hard after Arnold and Sylvester’s movies. Then they (the PMRC), went after rap and rock. In the 50’s it was comic books. In the 21st century they blamed video games for violence. Almost every case of violence can be cured b the absence of poverty!

When the mayor was like I had my son send me some drill rap and i was disgusted I couldn't stop laughing 😂

bro that tune in the end😣🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

Rap video at the end was straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!

The music comes from the problems, the problems don’t come from the music

So glad we have Trevor to put this into perspective! Thanks Bro!!! ❤️

"None of these boys gonna shoot at me" 😂😂🔥🔥🔥

AWWW i feel so intelligent when listening to Trevor! Love Roy rap ..Yes we will listen whole day!!!

Great segment! A lot in there, but you're still making it funny and fun to go through this with you. Your style is so dialed in.

Roy need to drop that heat on Spotify 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Roy's song at the end was fire, but it also hit me harder than the rest of the segment. Because it perfectly illustrates a functioning society that the USA works so hard to keep POC out of.

People create their own reality and the reality is that if you promote violence then your going to get what you are promoting! Bring back consciousness in Hip Hop!

Loved the rhymes Roy. Killed it... we need an extended version.🔥🔥🔥 from Moz 🇲🇿

censorship is never the answer.

Scary. Creates a cycle of violence.

“Anit nobody tryna shoot at me, to many job opportunities” 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨👑

The same thing happened with "gangsta" rap...and the argument is still the same...every action movie is drill rap without rhymes..John Wick,The Transporter etc..to me it's all propaganda until you go after the root.

Roy killed it. Let's make conscious drill rap a thing🔥🔥💯

Yeahhhh💪🏽....Trevor that's the best rap I want in my community that you ended your show with...💯😉😉😉

Agreed rap drill or otherwise is an expression of what is happening in their lives. Mostly agree it’s a symptom and not a root cause BUT BUT BUT! It’s also INSPIRATIONAL for anyone wanting to level up out of those negative environments. And that inspiration in turn creates an environment where living violently becomes ASPIRATIONAL if they are to be seen as “authentically” living what is being rap’d about. And therein lies the problem with violent music like drill rap. It creates its own vicious cycle that is spiraling out of control into the larger community.

This episode deserves an Emmy.

Dang, never heard of drill rap until today. Thanks Trevor, Roy and the Daily Show!

Drill is like a competition of who can be more disrespectful

That opening line cracks me up all the time 🤣🤣🤣

I think one issue which is less talked about is the fact that kids who grow up in safe neighborhoods and they start listening to the music start wanting to be part of streets because they think it’s cool. But the reality is that the once you grow up in the streets you don’t want to be there forever. You want out eventually and you lose the opportunity. The kids who grow up in middle class neighborhoods will never know what the songs are really about and they think that gangs are cool do to current pop culture.

"When Im putting my enemies to sleep, I always do so in a casper mattress" .Drill Podcast 😂😄😄😄

1:12 I see what you did there Mr Noah, very clever 🤣

THANK YOU TREVOR ✌️🙏

When Trevor said "the best dis tracks don't even mention names" my mind immediately went to Taylor Swift and then he actually said her name and I just lost it! This was gold!

YOOOOOOOO!!! Roy's track was fire! Roy has BARS! Lol

Great segment

educative and i cant stop laughing at the drill song at the end

Oh jeez. Did... did the _mayor of New York_ just use the "I didn't even know about this yesterday but now I've seen a little and it offends me" line? Someone get him a Karen haircut and a half-caff soy latte, STAT.

Great discussion and exploration on drill rap - I had seen a couple videos (one by some tweens, sorry don't know the name), never knew it was a new genre. As always, you are spot on with these "if you don't know" series.

Any kinds of Art, is more the expression of a phenomenon than causing it

The ending video is funny. That was hilarious. It had me cracking up. The video caught me off guard.

I just held a 2-hour learning session on root causes of injustice. It went well, but I'm seriously considering just playing this clip and seeing where the discussion goes.

Roy's rap so fire.🔥🔥too much drip🔥🔥. He could drop an album and win a Grammy. I would love to see a world without violence. I agree with Trevor.

I'm a huge fan of self expression through music...I understand when I hear the struggle...pain and circumstances in lyrics. I was around for banging on wax. But you keep it on wax.

..ohhh yeees, dropping facts.. Really Enjoyed the End Rap Video..

In Kenya all the drill lyrics are about police 😂

My local library has a section on banned books, so I started reading the books on the list. I am not into rap music but when they ban drill rap, I may be tempted to sample it.

This is one of my favs

A difference though is that some of the songs call out another group of people encouraging or enticing them to violence, seemingly more directly and specifically than in the past

Roy’s got some bars😂😂😂

You will never stop the youth of this country from expressing themselves

"Got approved for a loan"🎶🎤 I felt that

awesomee! take and the song!

Thank you for explaining this issue so clearly. I now understand that those fools at large have mixed up cause and effect, because they are not genuinely interested in solving underlying issues.

Music is the expression of what’s going on. Facts!

Man old school raps are more to talk on issues about streets and society, we are one☝🏼 guy's

This is a very important topic and there is more discussion to be had...

I am going to proudly admit that, I WILL be bumpin this jam for at least the next month. Thinking about putting in sub woofers now.

NO QUESTION - attacking the symptom, not the cause!!! You nailed it!!!

Thank you .... Mayor Adams

those adlibs on point lol

That rap at the end really brings it home to middle/upper class white people what the whole point of Trevor's dialog was. All those privileges called out that should be available for everyone. Thanks for this! Terrific work.

I’m all for the “ relative moisture content of vaginas” 😹😹

As lighthearted as Mr. Noah tried to paint Drill rap in NY. Chicago’s drill scene is no joke.

Having drill rappers say what they want on a podcast is actually a better idea than having the songs available everywhere...we must agree thats why there is a need for censorship in the first place...
