Drill is a wild genre.
From dissing opps to talking about real crimes that have happened in the streets,
anything is fair game.
Here is a look at some of the wildest drill lyrics that have actually happened in real life.
“Man Man Got Hit Tryna Get Something to Eat”
– THF Billa – Factors Remix
THF Billa is a rapper from the Southside of Chicago who is affiliated with the THF gang
– aka Trigger-Happy Family.
They are a crew made up of several smaller sets of larger gangs
– mainly BDs and Mickey Cobras with a few GD and Black P Stones thrown in.
THF is allied with 600 and O’Block,
as well as a variety of GD sets and beef with 051, MOB,
Tookaville, Jaro City, and a few other sets.
In this bar, THF Billa is talking about Can't Get Right
aka STL Man Man - a member of the STL/EBT set of the GD’s
who was shot outside a chicken and fish shop in 2018.
If you’ve seen our previous videos on Chicago drill,
you know about the war that’s been going on between the O’Block set of the BD’s
and the STL/EBT set of the GDs, aka Tookaville.
Man Man was just another casualty in this bloody war.
He was known for being FBG Duck’s right-hand man,
who was also shot in the same incident but survived.
On June 15th, 2018,
Man Man was at a takeout restaurant called Choices on East 63rd Street in Chicago,
a favorite spot of the FBG crew.
On the way out, he and FBG Duck were ambushed by two gunmen.
Man Man, along with an innocent bystander named Troy Hampton
who was sweeping the street were killed and FBG Duck was shot but lived.
The whole thing was captured on nearby surveillance cameras.
In the footage,
you can see bullets start flying as Man Man and Troy Hampton use the nearby vehicle as a shield.
The shooters then run up from off camera,
one of them shoots the innocent witness
and then both finish off Man Man who is lying on his back on the sidewalk.
Even though the shooting was caught on camera, no one was ever arrested for the murder,
although it was rumored to be two members of O’Block.
It’s not clear whether the shooting was direct retaliation for something that Man Man did
or whether he was just another casualty in the ongoing feud between STL and O’Block.
Man Man is rumored to have been responsible
for the killing of an O’Block member named Cheno.
Allegedly,
Cheno entered opp territory to visit some of his family members in an area called No Love City.
Man Man, along with two members of the TW set of the GDs
named Poppie and TB spotted Cheno as they were driving and shot him from the car.
Man Man was also rumored to be responsible for the killing of an O’Block member
named Big A, but this rumor ended up being false.
Big A was allegedly responsible for the murder of KI
– a female shooter from the STL/EBT set.
Initially, it was rumored that FBG Brick spotted Big A
and told her brother GI where he was at.
GI just happened to be with Man Man at the time
and many thought they were responsible for his death.
But, court documents later revealed that Big A was actually killed in a shootout
with three opps in an unrelated incident.
So, it’s possible that Man Man was killed over a false rumor.
But it’s also possible that the shooters just caught him lackin'
and decided to ambush him because of his affiliation.
Even if he wasn’t actually responsible for some of the murders he’s been tied to,
he was still close with some of the top members of FBG, like Wooski and Duck,
which made him an automatic target.
The tragic thing was that Man Man seemed to be trying to turn his life around before he was killed.
He got a legal job and was trying to leave the streets alone.
But in Chiraq the opps don’t care if you’re trying to leave the game.
If they catch you lackin’, they show no mercy.
But if you thought that was crazy,
this next artist rapped about a pair of twins he grew up with
who were both killed on the same day.
“Came and Left the Same Day RIP the Twins”
– A King’s Nightmare – Polo G
Polo G is a rapper from the Marshall Field’s apartments in Chicago.
He is allegedly affiliated with a set called 1300-Sedville/TTG,
which reps both Mickey Cobras and Vice Lords.
The set is actually an alliance of two smaller sets
1300 Tim Tim Gang associated with the Vice Lords
and 1300 Snake Bite of the Mickey Cobras.
Polo G is known to shout out Tim Tim in his songs,
leading many to believe he mainly reps the Vice Lords.
Polo G is one of the hottest up-and-coming rappers currently in the game,
earning himself a number one on the Billboard charts with Rapstar
and a Lil Wayne feature on the track Gang Gang.
The rapper has a sound that is more lyrical and melodic than traditional drill
but he still comes from the birthplace of the genre and his music contains similar themes.
In this bar, Polo is talking about the twin brother of his friend Lil Wooski
who was shot and killed on the same day.
Lil Wooski or 1300 Wooski
– not to be confused with FBG Wooski from STL/EBT –
is one of Polo G’s close friends who is also from the same neighborhood.
Lil Wooski had two brothers Edwin and Edward
who were both tragically killed on the same day at just 17 years old.
Edwin and Edward Bryant were standing on the 1300 block
of North Hudson Avenue when they were shot and killed in a drive-by shooting.
Edward was in his junior year at Marshall High School and a star player on the team.
At 6’5” tall he had several college recruits with an eye on him already.
Edwin also played ball growing up but quit after middle school.
Neither of the two brothers had any known gang affiliations,
but some of the people they were with at the time did,
which may have caused the shooting.
On the track Die a Legend, Polo also raps
“Lil Wooski lost his brothers, he gone give them n**** hell”,
revealing that after the twins got killed, Wooski really started turning up in the streets.
It’s got to be pretty tough losing two brothers on the same day,
especially because they were just athletes and not gang-affiliated.
But in Chicago, anything can happen in the blink of an eye.
Just standing on the wrong block with the wrong people can get you caught in the line of fire.
But Polo G is far from the only rapper to speak about dead friends in his music.
This next artist
rapped about the moment he found out one of his homies
had been shot outside a recording studio.
“Got that Call from G. Gotti Like LA was hit”
– Worst Memory Tribute to LA Capone – Tay600
Tay600 is a rapper affiliated with the 600 sets of the BD’s.
600 is allied with O’Block in the ongoing war with the GDs on the Southside.
In this bar, he is speaking on the death of another rapper from 600
named LA Capone, who is also Tay600’s brother.
LA Capone was a major part of the early drill scene
and was cool with Chief Keef, Lil Durk, and Rondo Numba Nine.
He was well known around the Southside for being a funny dude
who was good with the ladies
and many thought that he would be the next big drill star to blow up.
But, despite having a promising career as a rapper and graduating high school as an honor student,
LA Capone was drawn into the street life.
He was known for repping GDK in his music – a term that means you beef with the GDs.
His constant disrespect of the GD’s
ended up getting him shot when he was just 16 years old.
But He survived this shooting after undergoing surgery
and managed to make a full recovery.
After that, he decided to take his music more seriously
and started dropping collaborations with Rondonumbanine
that put up serious numbers.
On one of these tracks, Play for Keeps,
LA Capone continued his disrespect of the GD’s rapping
“Shondale how the hot shit feel”
referencing Shondale Gregory aka Tooka who was a 15-year-old member
of the STL/EBT set of the GDs who was shot back in 2011.
LA Capone was a major target for all the disses he put out
and the reputation he had built for himself in the city.
Like many up-and-coming rappers coming out of Chicago,
LA Capone’s life was cut short after opps got the drop on him outside a recording studio.
On September 26th, 2013,
La Capone was leaving a studio,
when he was ambushed by a shooter as he was looking for his ride home.
He was in an alley near 70th Street and Stony Island Ave
when a gunman approached him on foot and shot him four times,
hitting him in the thigh and lower back.
LA had just turned 17
and it was almost a year to the day since the last time he’d been shot.
He was brought to the hospital to undergo surgery
but had lost so much blood that he was later pronounced dead.
The police ended up arresting three men for the murder
and they all eventually confessed.
Surprisingly, the killers were not members of the GD’s,
but of another gang known to beef with 600 called 051 Money Gang,
a set of the Mickey Cobras.
Many people thought that LA Capone had been killed for repping GDK
and disrespecting Tooka on track with millions of views.
But it turned out that his death was just payback for the murder of a dude named 051 Fathead
who was allegedly killed by a 600 member called Cdai.
LA Capone was one of 600’s most well-known and popular rapper,
so they killed him as a way to send a message to the rest of the gang.
Three members of 051 were arrested and charged with 1st-degree murder
– Lil Mick, Rockhead, and Meiko.
According to the cops,
once they were brought in they all started confessing to the crime.
Lil Mick is believed to be the shooter
and was eventually sentenced to 60 years in prison for the murder.
Rockhead ended up getting 24 years and Meiko was sentenced to 45.
It’s been rumored that LA Capone was set up that night by someone in the studio,
but this was never proven.
It does seem like a targeted hit,
so it isn’t hard to believe that it may have been a setup.
Tay600’s track Worst Memory is a tribute to the fallen 600 members
where he recalls hearing the news that the artist was killed.
G. Gotti is a 600 affiliate and the former girlfriend of Rondo Number Nine,
who Tay600 reveals was the one who called him about LA Capone’s death.
LA’s death was a major blow to 600,
as many thought that he would be the next big star to rep the set on a national level.
Around the same time that LA was killed,
Rondonumber9ine was arrested for the murder of a cab driver named Javan Boyd
who was shot 7 times while waiting for a passenger.
Rondo was later convicted of the murder and sentenced to 39 years in prison.
Ironically, he is serving his time in the Menard Correctional Center,
along with fellow 600 members Cdai and none other than Lil Mick – LA’s killer.
LA Capone’s death and Rondo’s arrest were major blows for 600 on the rap scene.
But at least they had dudes like 600 Breezy and Tay600 to carry on the legacy,
as well as 600 allies like Keef and Durk.
To bring it all full circle, THF Billa actually mentions the hit on 051 Fatz
that allegedly led to LA Capone’s death on the Factors Remix mentioned earlier in this video.
“Fatz wanna walk to the store to the store with a *****
the van busted a U, then he got his ass swissed.”
– THF Billa – Factors Remix
In June 2012, 051 Fatz aka 051 Fathead
was walking to the corner store with his cousin.
As they were walking a grey van pulled up
and the driver and passengers were staring right at them.
Fatz and his cousin kept walking until the dudes in the car started firing off shots.
Fatz was killed, but the cousin survived
and was able to identify the shooter as the passenger in the vehicle.
Fatz was allegedly killed in the ongoing beef between 051 Money Gang and 600.
Cdai from 600 is said to be the killer
and did it in retaliation for the murders of 600 members Shaq and Trixx.
Fathead was only 15 at the time
and was not believed to be behind either of the murders.
But rumors have gone around that Fathead was claiming credit for Shaq’s murder.
Either Cdai believed him or he just killed him to prove a point about claiming bodies for clout.
It’s also been rumored
that LA Capone may have been with Cdai the night they shot Fathead,
which is why Lil Mick, Rockhead, and Meiko targeted him outside the studio.
Cdai ended up going down with Rondo in 2014 for the murder of Javan Boyd
and is currently serving a 38-year prison sentence.
The beef between 051 and 600 is one of the deadliest in Chiraq history.
It’s cooled off a bit in recent years
and there haven’t been any more bodies reported that are directly related to the war.
But the two sets are still hostile to each other
and could reignite at any moment over a diss or situation in the streets.
