she is correct

Ice T recently honored Eric Adams as the Hip Hop Mayor of NYC, which—if you know anything about Eric Adams—is nuts.

I have NEVER heard of DRILL MUSIC!

Thanks for this post.

I googled and learned that it originated in Chicago in only 2010!!!?

Then it spread and became popular so much so that it spread to UK!

That is outrageous. 

 

 

Ice-T is from California but he honored Eric Adams Hip-Hop Mayor of NYC.😁

 

Black folks with money are mostly Democrats so it makes sense that in NYC Eric Adams would get their endorsement.😎

I had to look up Drill Music too @Chevdove.  After listening to a couple of songs there was nothing I could identify, sonically, that was particularly distinguishing from the rest of the rap out there.  I guess I will have to do some more research to learn what to listen for.

 

Is there an icon Drill music song or artist?  You know like Chuck Brown for Go-Go?

 

Eric Adams should arguably be described as a hip-hop mayor, though his years in a leadership role of the Po-Po, would always make him suspect though...

My pleasure @Chevdove

In defense ICe T has a long existence in the hip hop community  @ProfD your right, he is from california, but he is respected in said community.

@Troy how do you define a hip hop mayor? If someone wants to become the hip hop mayor of chicago, what will they have to do to be described as such in your view?

It is his “swagger,” his bracelets, his accent.  he is definitely more ‘hood. unlike Dinkins who was more Boule than Brownsville

I see... @Troy that explains it all, Olayemi defines a hip hop mayor as someone who comprehends the culture of hip hop which she proved adams doesn't. I myself, have no idea, and don't see adams as that. I see adams or dinkins as black mayors. You say it is the swagger. All three definitions correctly applied.  yes, dinkins is from the older black, more DOS than Caribbean or Continental or Modern Immigrant in all earnest, community in harlem. I have gone by where he lived many times.
