Future regrets making sipping lean cool for the new generation (Rolling Stone article)

[A1aaa]

you know how some rappers seem introspective / intelligent on wax but dumb off of it (e.g. - kodak black)?

this cat future sounds like a idiot no matter the context

 

[You Win Perfect]

Kids don't even do real lean, Actavis has been discontinued for years. Codeine/promethazine syrup had no real use besides getting high

They drink Robitussin

you do realize they aren't the only brand right and the actual drug is still available for RX still

I know promethazine syrup is still available but codeine/promethazine mix? What doctor would even write a prescription for that in 2019

 

[Marc Spector]

he's a fukking clown

However hopefully this realization will inspire him to do better with his message and image.

future didn't make shyt cool You know how many rappers before him were talkin about lean and sippin it. why is this dude actin like he has so much influence and importance. If he retired today, we wouldn't be missing anything. we got plenty rappers talking about pills, drank and guns

True but future really was the poster child for that shyt. Its disingenuous to knock his influence because other people were doing it first.

 

[Just like bruddas]

It's nice he is recognizing his part in it all but trust lean been in the hood before he was even heard off. nikkas in high school was mixing it with Sprite before it was cool

 

[SheWantTheD]

After he made millions off it

 

[Black Steph Curry]

Juice World said he's the reason he tried lean

One cornball following tha footsteps of another cornball.

Yet there are tons of posters in the other thread trying to blame Future for everything wrong with the youth today

Future was the face of lean in mainstream Hip Hop.
