I love you too Ladybug!
Im not a massive Drill fan (or road rap fan), theres a time and place for it though...
IMO UK did start this current form of Drill, you only need to listen to some American Drill artists and they actually sound British, they even rock Nike and Adidas tracksuits which has always been a British/Euro thing...
Drill doesnt come from hip hop, Drill originated from UK Road/Trap, Road/Trap from Grime and Grime from Garage music... You could also throw DnB (drum n base) and Jungle MC'ing in with Garage music too... Though I hate DnB and Jungle... HATE it...
Im far from an expert on the evolution of it, I did casually listened to Garage and Grime over here in the late 90s and early 00s but I was a hip hop snob so wasnt into like some of my friends were...
Ultimately, all forms of MC'ing does come from Hip Hop but then where do you, stop??? Hip Hop mc'ing came from toasting etc

Here's a little timeline to Drill but theres are loads of space for discussion and debate...
Edit: not sure why not all the videos are properly linked...
Garage Music
Its a mix-match of genres, electro dance music fused with house and dubstep that eventually had tongue twisting MC's, MC'ing over a DJ set... Alot of the time, DnB or Jungle MC's got involved...
Classic kinda garage tune...
Garage then imo got more street and MC orientated and also commercial just before it kinda transitioned into a new genre... Grime , and you eventually had legendary clashes between crews like Pay as U Go Cartel and Heartless Crew below...
Big commercial bangers...
Grime
Then from those commercial bangers, grime came around... The focus became more on MC'ing, clashing and rapping about subject matters (girls and street sh!t) and was noticeably more hip hop, rather than DJ'ing and mixing which garage was more about...
Alot of the grime artists had obviously been involved in garage, the most notable first artists were guys like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Jammer and Skepta... Alot of the tunes that were later released on albums and singles were on pirate radio sets years before...
We then started getting commercial videos and album (abit like what happened to garage)
(Dizzee's 'Boy In Da Corner' is a classic)
Road/Trap Rap
(Which is still around)...
There was alot of clashing, beef, stabbings and few shooting during the Grime period, alot of negative media attention but the genre kept evolving, getting more popular and more violent... Eventually it got to Road Rap or Trap... Obviously the lyrics were alot more harder, MC's calling out/sending for other rappers, real street beefs addressed etc you can tell it was the precursor to Drill... The main difference are the beats sounded abit slower and more American...

Also, throughout the whole Grime to even now, there was always a dope UK hip hop scene that was also conscious and political but thats another scene...

It's all wack to me, but the U.S. sounded the best followed by the Mexican cat.
The beats are what they are. The problem I think with the other countries is that they don't particularly make beats that fit their language if that makes sense. Different languages don't sound the same when spoken or rapped, so they aren't necessarily going to sound the same over the same beat. I don't think artists from other countries always take that into account. They'll just copy the most popular sound and sometimes it works, but sometimes it sound disastrous.

Yeah I get what youre saying, I think thats why UK Drill is universally popular as the beats match the accents...
Thats why the actual golden years of UK hip hop in early 00's (like Klahnekoff, TaskForce, Skinnyman, Lowkey etc that I posted) were dope (to uk fans anyways) was because the beats were made by UK producers for UK rappers...
Yeah I guess that's why East Coast rappers sound good over Boom Bap beats, West Coast rappers sound good over G-Funk beats and Southern MCs sound good over Bounce/Trap beats.
