and if we trace it even further back, it just comes to OG UK dubstep stuff, which incorporates a lot of sliding basslines and spacey sound

Yeah and lets not even forget garage and dance hall too

People dont know s***

2006! Wondagurl was in like middle school back then or maybe even in elementary

Respect to Wondagurl tho shes a prodigy

DJ L and DJ Kenn

fr young queen

pop made sure NY runs the drill scene in US

op literally didn’t even post an example

UK drill was already a thing then lmfao

people say this s*** all the time and it's never people who actually listen to drill

Sevn spittin tho

and Yall doubting my city

Mfs really dont know

It wasn't Wondagurl either.

I remember sliding basslines and that spacey s*** being a thing with underground producers in the early to mid 2000s.

Don’t forget Smylez too

Things can exist in the past and still not be influential btw

UK/NY Drill beats a few years ago were just worse Wondagurl type beats. They’ve gotten much better after Pop Smoke blew up, but I promise if you ask the main drill producers who their influence/fav producers is, Wondagurl will come up a lot. It’s why Christopher Walken is one of the best NY drill beats already 🥰

And it’s not just the 808 slides btw, it’s the percussion as well. The hi hat and perc patterns have Wondagurl written all over it

Huh

UK drill is influenced by uk garage, grime and dub

Yall really need to start listening to other genres

Edit: my god these replies...

Love Wondagurl and all her beats but

drill has been around since as early as 2017 in the uk

she didn’t birth s***

wondagurl is great but idk if this is fully true. Her sliding 808s were great but there's always been sliding basslines and the actual sound that every london producer uses is different.

She's great tho
