Can anyone source the first mention of "lean" in a rap song

[151_Pr00f]

I know it was already popular in Houston before 3-6's Sippin on some syrup. Nowadays everybody from coast to coast flash double cups in videos and mention it in their songs. Any early 90's gem's that mention codeine before became trendy, drop some music.

This.

It was probably on an old Screw tape

Yeah, I'd be surprised if you find a reference before those old DJ Screw tapes..... But even then they didn't really call it lean. It was syrup or bar when I first started hearing it

Nah, just was trippin about how popular it's gotten within the last decade. nikkas in my hometown never fukked with that shyt, now everybody is on this shyt and dudes are caking off it, some going for 200 a pint. Crazy how the subculture in a section of Texas just exploded, now dudes in Chi-town to Atlanta to the bay sip drank like it's going out of style.

its a real epidemic in the bay, we been fukkin with it since like 2000 but every year it gets heavier and heavier. if a nikka come out here with bricks (16oz) you either leaving here a dead man or a very very rich man. its that serious. nikkas do not play about they syrup out here. some do it cause its popular, some use it as a cocktail to go with there black (heroin) or balushi(coke&heroin) they snort. I mean we all know its sweet heroin ina bottle anyway. but yea nikkas love they syrup here so much that one of the ad libs of some of the local rappers is straight up "syyyyyyruuuuuuuuup" we all say that shyt




shyts sad tho


song about the Addiction RIP THE JACKA a heavy syrup sipper

bruh its the truth. these nikkas go mainey over some damn syrup. ive seen a mini street war start over some syrup. some nikkas from another hood came tp sale a 4oz for $40 when they got here. it was only 3oz and they wanted 60 for it. the nikka from another hood try to punk dude about the prices and it was beef ever sinc, of course other things happen after that to make it war but shyt thats what kicked it off. thats some sad shyt.


but im definitely not saying the bay was the first to talk about syrup. we allll know the first was houston. then we all copied them. they shyt go back to early 90s with the raps and probably 80s/70s with just sippin it period.
