FBG Duck and the other side of Drill
August 4th around 6pm:
I'yard on twitter, looking for a meme I saw earlier that day to bear witness my aunt. Suddenly I run across multiple tweets stating Chicago rapper FBG Duck was shot downtown.
Twitter is where I get my news commencement, has been for years. I hoped that it was just a rumor. Duck was on rails to defy the odds and finally make information technology as a rapper subsequently being blackballed since the beginning of his career.
It wasn't not a rumor. When I seen Spot News, a famous account on twitter that tweets out law radio calls in the city of Chicago tweeted about information technology, I knew it was official. I was certain Duck would recover after watching the video of him laying down after taking the after fatal gunshot wounds. He was moving and talking while waiting for the ambulance to take him down the street to the infirmary. He did non recover, he succumbed to his wounds and died a hour after when arriving to the hospital.
I wasn't shocked, but highly disappointed. As days went on, I took it harder than I thought. I guess I expected Duck to make it and live through all of this. He was much wiser than his peers. I retrieve Duck trying to make peace starting with his song "Chicago Legends." I remember in multiple interviews when he was saying the violence needed to stop. Nonetheless I did not hear the vocal that he got killed over, the recent "Dead Bitches" where he disses dead opps. I'm not a drill music fan, I just proceed up with it because I'm in Chicago.
My human relationship with Drill Music
Reverse to what everybody else believed in 2011, I thought in that location were other hip hop movements that were more intriguing than the drill movement blowing up in my own city. Foolish of me trying to rap without mentioning opps or guns. My name wasn't Hazard.
I wasn't too big on what was happening in the streets and I didn't intendance either. I was just really into King Louie, whom was the get-go drill rapper to popular in the city. He was the innovator of drill music, he coined calling Chicago Chiraq. He did claim a set (Dro Metropolis) only not in every vocal and he did not diss dead opps. He is a petty older and had a old school gangsta mentality.
I always felt drill music was too one sided and every side needed to exist represented. I actually did not respect how it popularized the dissing of the dead. The only origin story I've heard most that is from FBG Duck himself.
"Nosotros said said we smoking Tooka first, outta respect." FBG Cash proclaimed on the 2015 Zach TV interview of STL/ FBG/ Tookaville. It was mentioned in a early song kind of like pouring liquor out for the expressionless homies. Duck explained further, "Then they (O'Cake) took our shit and fabricated information technology disrespectful, it wasn't a disrespectful thing at offset."
When Main Keef blew upwards, he took 300 and O block with him. At the fourth dimension, O block was in full diddled war with STL/EBT. It is the nigh documented, virtually well known beef in the city. I didn't have to be a fan to know about that.
By 2014, the violence in the city was inescapable but I wasn't scared even afterward existence shot myself. Then many people asked me who shot me, I didn't know. I saw the news report on it, a witness said people was arguing and the man shooting hit his intended target. I was either an additional person in the cross hairs or I think I might have been a victim of mistaken identity.
I felt like I demand to exist informed on street shit since I'm moving around outside Chicago without a auto. I watched DJ Akademiks channel for a minute, until I heard enough to make up one's mind he was a goofy, and founded out he wasn't even from or in Chicago. I watched Zach TV interviews, followed the rappers on twitter, and started to mind to the music and watch the videos. People started making Youtube videos on the conflicts across the urban center. If they were a black Chicagoan (Yes, I tin tell) I would scout information technology. Plus I just asked homies in the street or just knew of street business organization.
The Other Side
I had a friend how lived in the heart of STL, she did my pilus and information technology was always cracking over her house so I stayed over there from 2011- 2014. We went to parties, hung on the porch, played cards, drink, smoke everything I wanted to exercise at nineteen, 20 years quondam. I knew of Duck and Cash as the firsts to make music from that area. People would call me Large GD, just from picking me upward from over there. I would say don't practice that cus I personally practise not have whatever opps. I never stepped pes in O Block. I had no reason to, I didn't know anyone from over there.
Lil Jojo from Bricksquad clicked up the GD sets and started the BDK motility with the song that ultimately got him killed "BDK" in 2013. This when I started to actually hear music from the other side. Lil Mister's "No lacking"to Billionaire Buck'southward "Costa rica" and P.Rico's "Hang wit me." But my favorite was the OG Clout Lord himself, King Lil Jay.
I remember get-go hearing Lil Jay at a political party, he reminded me of Chicago's one-time days. He was hype, he had people dancing and I was excited to hear double 0. I thought he would be the one, because he had potential to transcend pass drill music. However, he was doing a lot of dissing and got shot a lot of times. He committed a dumb criminal offense which is why he is still locked up this day. He didn't deserve to become downward for attempted murder and serve 14 years, but he did try to a rob somebody while he was ane of the hottest rappers in the urban center.
Famous Dex picked upwardly the torch from Lil Jay later on he went away. Dex was able to transcend laissez passer drill music because he was focused on music and never did any dissing. He took the FBG out his name because he didn't want to be linked to the beefiness. He respectfully and intelligently made himself only musically associated with FBG. His breakout was in 2015, 2016. he linked up with Soulja male child and signed to Rich the Child'due south characterization. Now he is dealing with a different prepare of problems such as record deals and substance abuse. I promise he gets all the help he needs to overcome.
FBG Duck was rapping while all of this was going down, just in 2017 he would release his biggest vocal to engagement "Slide." This song was everywhere in the city, on the radio, they even played it in clubs downtown and up northward. The single would go golden, allowing him to score a record deal with Sony. Later on the success of Slide, Duck would extend his mitt several times to make peace with his opps showing his growth. Only Durk and King Von would continue to diss him and his people dead or alive. And so Duck made a song doing the same thing they did, but Duck was killed for it.
I remember meeting a guy from Jaro city while playing spades in STL. Jaro was his brother, Tooka was his friend. It was a minute before you could even listen Keef in that hood, they employ to throw bricks at cars just for driving by playing any artist from the other side. Things had calmed downwards by 2014 when Keef started releasing music I liked. Somebody was playing "Earned it." I never said the phase smoking Tooka , because I know Tooka was an bodily person and I don't diss the dead. When I skipped that office, he saluted me.
"Everybody be saying information technology and don't know what they be saying. They but hear them niggas say it and think its some other word for weed, it own't. Tooka was my friend."
Drill is very one sided, that something I didn't like about information technology from the jump. All of the dudes I named were talented, some were better rappers and then their opps. They all had a shot to brand it in mainstream manufacture. Withal, their opps got famous first, and gained more money and power.
Causes and furnishings
After Duck died, the fans made it worst like they e'er exercise. From making out of wack comments, like fuck the opps or he another dead opp to pressuring the remaining FBG members to slide in Duck's retentivity. They even accused King Von for making the rumored million dollar hitting on Duck in which proclaimed his innocence.These over zealous fans are part of the problem but not the root.
It is time for an development of drill rap and gang culture, since they go hand and mitt. Similar the fans, the rappers that have the bait are part of the problem but not the root. From Lil Durk tweeting RIP Nuski, his cousin whom was killed in 2014 the solar day Duck died, to 600 Breezy releasing a diss vocal toward Duck a solar day later on he died.
The root problem is the gentrification in Chicago that has been an effective plan since the 1990's. The demolition of multiple projects in the late 90s early on 2000s across the city caused those residents to be placed in the cities to Due south/ Westward side predominantly black neighborhoods. Chicago has always been a gang banging donkey city so when this happened, they put gang bangers in opposition areas. For example, the man of Cabrini Light-green, a Vice lord had to motility to Englewood. To go along existence the man, he has to bump heads with the current man in Englewood, a BD. See how that would crusade problems?
Crime went upwards obviously, the police budget went upwards as the public schoolhouse'due south budget began dropping and kept dropping year subsequently year. Later school activities in these neighborhoods dwindled down to none.
This caused miseducation, lack of activities and utter disregard of the youth. The original gang leaders were getting locked upward receiving football number sentences. Most kids look to older kids for guidance, those older kids didn't have any guidance or extra circular activities then they made their own gangs. These gangs tuned out to be very tearing causing people to be killed, go to jail or move out of town, This freed up property for white people to buy at inexpensive prices, as the neighborhood crime decreases, the metropolis tin can upwardly the taxes and price out the rest of the remaining residents.
The list of problems is longer than this, that was just a quick summary. Nosotros can't fix everything but Duck tried to utilize his Large Ascendancy status to make things in his circle of control ameliorate.
I am in the aforementioned age range of these guys, from the aforementioned identify. Some of these guys were born into wars, they grew antisocial each other for killing their family and friends. Duck died, trying to be amend, people saying fuck that and him getting back to the dissing bullshit that gets the most views so he can feed his people the best way he knew how. It is fourth dimension for a change.
RIP FBG DUCK AKA BIG CLOUT
