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

[whiteskullmaskgh]

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

[t.quinonez]

All jokes 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.

“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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

[freshlysaltedfishing]

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

[mariannatheron]

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!!

[isaaclopez-ebyg]

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.

"Yes, there will be singing. About the dark times."

[alexanderangelo]

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

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 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!
