Styles P Breaks Down His Dislike for Drill Music 

"Is a blunt to the head, a prayer for the dead Run around hustlin', scared of the feds "They said, "Death is eternal sleep" But the only thing is you ain't really sure if you prepared for the bed So often we get murked in the head, instead of big money They got big mama hurtin' instead"- Styles P

Styles P has done a lot of great things for Yonkers, New York, hip hop and the awareness of health.

I know people might disagree.But Styles is equal to Kiss lyrically. Its just Kiss voice is more distinctive. But all 3 of them are iLL.

People mistake the meaning of "real" for "gangster" when it was always supposed to mean truth & honesty.

I’m with Styles! Drill drives me crazy

The Gangsta & The Gentleman 🎉

1 of the best rappers of all times

Met him in person he was the most chill, humbled dudes I’ve ever met

The bigger issue is why does the black community glorify being from the streets so much? Our community is so broken that the things we should disassociate ourselves with are the things we praise and gravitate towards.

The reality is “nobody” is built for it. Some just get away with for a variety of reasons but it takes a toll on all. The greatest toll is payed by the community.

Styles P is the greatest of all time. Ive been listening to hip hop since the 80s. Not a single rapper has put out this many projects and maintained the level of quality like the ghost. He always has genuine content and gets better each time. he is not a gimmick, hes like the everyday blue collar hard working dude. hes a great person in real life aswell which takes it to another level. Styles P THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

I’ve tried to listen to drill..my soul felt dark..I’m good..I stick to the rhyme spitters..doesn’t change the fact of protecting my family or myself..I just don’t need that shit in my ear constantly

"Nobody really wins outside." Wise words. 💯

Styles is too real! My favorite rapper because he mastered the art of balance

This should go viral asap

What father who worked hard to provide a great life for their kid wants them to portray themselves as a fake gangsta rapper?

Dangerous game with this drill rapping...overall our Black n Latino youths....wake up please

Sp always kicking quality knowledge salute to the G-Host

“They don’t really think enough” 💯💯💯

I love Styles P. This Brother really taught us younger dudes some wisdom.

What a short strong interview...yall keep em comin! "Teach kids how to read, write, and use the ruger!" - Styles P

Styles P Makes Hip Hop That Can Make A Grown Man Cry! Because It's Just So Deep!

The core of the issue is rap culture needs to stop expecting gangster rappers to also be supergoons. Imagine how much better off hip hop would be rn if Tupac didn't try to live what he rapped. It's ok to tell stories that aren't 100% accurate to your life. Speaking from the perspective of people you know, things you've seen, or the dark part of your psyche and the things you could do if circumstances were different is all considered valid in every art form aside from hip hop. Expecting a rapper to have a body for every murder bar he raps is like expecting Tom Holland to swing around New York City on webs.

When I was growing up you had to come outside for a reputation. Kids now create a image behind the safety of internet that they really not built for or barely been around. AND The internet made it safe to be disrespectful without consequences. When I see drill kids playing crazy on the internet, I just shake my head. Its cool to Be Yourself, they trying way too hard. I always tell people, “You try hard, you die hard”.

What styles anit telling you is 90% of rappers in the 90's didnt do shit either. Long ago i just took the music as it is. A creative expression sorta like a movie. Now if a dude was on interviews and talk shows saying " im a real gangster in the streets" then i can see that being detrimental.

“Never too young to die or too old to live ain’t it hard to bust ya gun go home and hold ya kid, I’m ashamed I sell crack but I’m a ride for the moment know the consequence I’m a die with the omen” Salute 🫡 to Styles P ya favorite rappers favorite rapper!!!

S.P The Ghost! Probably my favourite rapper of all time. Bag fuel done it again!

Words do indeed have power. That's why we have to stop calling our Children Kids. A kid is a 4 legged animal by definition.

It's all death music.. but one is more lyrical than the other. Other than that, it's the same energy.

Drill music takes the intellugence out of rap.

Styles P speaks the truth! Gotta love the Lox, especially because of their longevity in the rap game!

Love and respect!!!

It’s a lot of competition out here. Yall got a goat on here with bad audio

Love Pinero as a musician, but his career whole is based off violence. He’s literally the epitome of a hardcore/gangster rapper.

One of my favorite rapperrs of all time

7:21 - the power of the word 🔥 absolute bar right here

i think the difference between Gangsta rap and Drill music is 90's Gangsta rap moreso told what the person will do to another person if you piss 'em off. Drill music is moreso telling in detail what you did to a person while providing the name (s) too and laying out exact details in the story of when, where, and how you did you. That's actually more so snitching on yourself. Outside of saying people were getting killed around my way or the fact that I will be willing to kill you...noo one ever snitched on themselves in gangsta rap.

Some of his mixtapes 10-15 yrs ago are on my favorite mixtape of all time list. Top 5 easy

Drill is trash

Respect 💯 to the legend.

"nobody really wins outside"

And this folks is what wisdom looks like

Big ups to my man ES$O from the hometown RV! Styles P is LEGENDARY!

Funny thing is drill music spawns from gangsta rap. We were warned long ago about the effects of gangsta rap, but no one listened. Ninjas were too busy getting money... and we're here. It's US people, not THEM. This is what WE allow

True talk ! We True OGs always said if you talk that talk , you better can walk that walk ! Straight up !!!

To hell with Drill

The key statement styles mentioned in this interview, drill rappers don't think about what their saying. So true.

Words have so much power!

I need a lox LP wit Daringer beats..😡

Drill isn't the new name for Gangsta rap, that never changed, Drill is crash dummy rap, it's a subgenre of other sub genres. One with hardly any acclaim, classics. Just drop a hard ass D Block or Jada Styles duet album. Trust me it will make bigger waves 😄😄😄

Styles P has been my favorite rapper since my early teens .. I met him in person a couple years ago and he has the same energy in person ! Real stand up guy .. Salute to Ghost/Holiday/Pinero/G-Host !!

LOX on Drill beats is not needed or wanted. Tf bro mean he want that type of project ? Lol

I'm glad you guys took my advice and got away from that last show God bless

I hate that BS too! Damm , wtf is wrong with gettin money an having fun🤔😕 Drill is ass backwards!😔

I Agree with all of you guys

Dope interview... substance and great great energy. 👜⛽️

The First Positive Message I heard today. I'm learning that must of are Legendary music figures ant shit on headline news every where I'm sincerely Glad and happy to see 1 out of a million blogs and interviews of bull shit that Styles Penero Will tell the truth about what's real and fake and what's wak out there. Thank you OG and the people that brought that interview. Killing and Abusing other people and representing your self to be something your not is unfathomable and tasteless. Wak as hell. I can't even listen to music the way I use to without doing knowledge behind the artist. Who say being your self don't sale? If you can't sale records being your self you was not ment to sale records. People is getting exposed . From Puffy to everybody music ect. Smh

This was dope to see man.

..yuh see dat doh. luv Stylez P. One. London.

THANK YOU STYLES….THANK YOU

"Shoot em in the head" is still the craziest song I ever heard till this day 😬😅

Echo bad bro. Podcast lit tho. Respect from the UK 👊🏽💪🏾🇬🇧

I see you bag fuel!!! keep it up!!

THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT POST,

Audio needs to be better……. I like you guys……. I want y’all to succeed……. Respect from the Stuy🇬🇩✊🏽

I dont wanna hear Styles P's generation of rappers talk about how bad drill music is. When yall were hot 20 years ago, you glorified being the toughest gangsters in America, moving drugs across state lines etc. & influenced my generation of black men to die young or doing football numbers in prison. Never deciding to change your message until the music industry was pretty much done with you. You cant be mad at these drill rappers for trying to out-do you especially since you were the one to pave the way 😂😂😂

WTF I DON’t want the lox on no drill beats

I'll always view drill as some time/place shit. The vibe of hopelessness and lack of regard for life mixed with that type of beat will always be Chicago to me. Back From the Dead is a soundtrack to places like GP, WP, and Englewood. Think of all the shit you've heard about Chi and its 10x more bleak than that. It has its place to document shit, but the fact that many of the originals of the scene have moved on or passed is telling. Much love to Styles btw, I'm a old head who's been rockin We Are the Streets in the gym for 2 decades. The LOX are coast to coast.

Styles P = solid dude

I was listening to P on the phone with 50 today. Sayin some real 💩 as usual, about how financial success doesn't correlate with skill. Basically the best rapper isn't necessarily the richest. P is definitely a poetic genius. Now, these women correlating financial success with quality of person, serious moral flaw. We must train our daughters better.

"Good kids" have always been attracted to a certain lifestyle once they hit a certain age. Hence the reason we see on the evening news a bunch of shocked parents every night, bewildered that their children got locked up or became a casualty of the streets. Now picture a child of privilege whose pops was a gangster or a professional athlete. Those are some crazy footsteps to follow, and young men particularly who grew up with a much better life than their famous parents did are gonna want to either live up to that name *or* be bigger than their fathers. *Especially* once they start trying to impress girls. _Daddy issues_ comes in many forms, but almost always leads to nothing good.

Damn. That was powerful

That was Gospel!!! 'Words kill, Not guns kill!' Most, if not all shootings in the hood are over conversation. Never a real threat.

street credibility no longer matters. look at the rainbow rat & gunna.

Im glad an original has spoken my guy p legendary.....shouts from england 💯

Before you think of keepin' me down, heatin' me down The flow like water get deep and you drown With no soul, many niggas roll with no gold Even a small gun got a little black hole Your destiny is somethin' you can never figure out Niggas is never happy 'til there's blood up in your mouth There's a lot of killers, but who the hell are you to blame? There's a lot of dead, how the hell you take the pain? Live with it, got money you better give with it My man had the thug in him did his bid with it Get married to the game but never have a kid with it Advice from the wise, slice the pies Too many schemes divides, when dreams collide Teams provide, war for the street to absorb Stashed in the ceiling and you slept on the floor Only a blind thug will fall in love with a whore

I listened to drill for a year and one thing I noticed was street lyrics from Style’s era sounds like the rappers were living that life and rap was a way to get out of it. Drill guys sound like kids born into middle class families trying to sound like the worst killers on earth. I personally know a dude who did 15 years, and he said he would never go back to his life style ever again. He has done some really dark shit in his life, and aint proud of it. Because of this, I just can’t take these drill guys seriously.

Why do these hosts act different when an established artist is in the room? They act real tough in front of unsigned artists 😂

I am glad they are talking about this. Thank you words can hurt, words do matter, words are most definitely powerful.

Styles P is now in my top three because I hate drill music to

This is a conversation that need to be heard by more young people. These are the conversations the community needs to engage in.

Young men listen to these dudes!!!

"I'm gonna either be the target or make the difference" DAMN

Once yall let Rick Ross be a correctional officer turn Cartel Boss it was over….

Drill music takes no skill and that's a rebellion from the skill older rappers needed to be successful. A lot of these kids aint gon be alive in 5 years anyway.

This is why hio hop no longer exists. 😂. If a styles p cant control what music is being let in the airwaves then its over 😂. If jay z cant control this shit 😂😂😂

I like how drill came into being: Chicago came up with it, U.K. producers freaked it, then NY rappers with U.K. producers went bananas and turned it into what it is today. Great story.

Hip hop culture is so far behind in education and consciousness, it’s truly disgusting to even hear such a low level talk from grown men. It’s crazy

7:58 that’s a dump question when you live in America 🇺🇸

DOPE INTERVIEW

Styles p was the same rapper talking about guns thats what kills me about the older ones in the game like lets not act like you wasnt rapping about that life not even living it

Love Styles. Love is Love. 💯

Rap is entertainment. Stop enforcing that rhymes aren’t real because they not snitching on themselves or someone else. It’s just about making money and providing for your family

Ghost is so underrated. One of my all time favorite MCs.

I Guess Theese Older Rappers Forget The Death and Destruction They was Putting on Wax No member From The Lox Should Have Anything To say About Drill , All The Gun bussing , Killing , Robbing , Styles P Spoke in His Rymes 😂 He Looking like a Clown , And a hypocrite !

Styles was always my favorite 😇

TRUMP 2024

I love the way he is breaking this down.

This a definition of a OG!

I grew upoff d block max b stack bundles dipset so my taste for music different that new shit cool but I ain’t stressing it
