so people who don't like the sensation of being high would do drugs habitually because of a music genre? :stopitslime:
Sure....some people find other ways to drugs

And a lot of others learn about it via music and then try it

People who haven't tried lean before don't know what it feels like to be intoxicated by promethazine + codeine, all highs are not equal, smoking weed and getting high isn't some kind of reference point to use when assessing the highs of other drugs.

if they enjoy it, they're going to do it again, if they don't, they won't
if they keep doing it, it's not because rap told them to, it's because they want to be high, on drugs, that drug specifically
all rap did was tell them it existed

Rap isn't just telling people something exists, rappers glorify and glamorize the "something" that exists, of course if you don't like something you would not continue doing it but rap leads a lot of people to trying it and then deciding whether they like it or not.

a rapper could rap about how he hates it or he loves it, as long as someone popular is talking about it enough, people will learn about it
if you are really concerned though, your issues should be with censorship laws

Rappers generally don't spend much time talking about drugs they don't like but they spend a ton of time rapping about the drugs they do like, my commentary has nothing to do with censorship but rather being honest about the actual reality we live in instead of the denial that so many people take comfort in.

why do u need more than 1 cup? know one has really explained (never had lean)
The cup sweats. (condensation) It's so you keep your hands dry and it also keeps it cooler. You can just buy some vicodins and phengran and eat them instead of buying lean. shyt's way too expensive.

the actual reality is that there are people who make a case for how damaging the "rap message" is and believe that it is dangerous for youth like it is a dire, glaring problem but the only skepticism they have is for the rappers themselves and not the systems that are in place, or are supposed to be in place to protect youth from dangerous messages

you can't erase a message or an idea but you can use the law to protect the most vulnerable from that message or idea, if you work hard enough to prove it is dangerous
why people who continually say that rap is a problem don't just do that, I will never understand

like, say you won every coli argument, every facebook and twitter argument about how damaging rap is, then what? Rap will still be there as accessible as it is now. The people you seem to want to reach still won't hear your message. The community remains the same. Start a petition or something

You must be a 90s baby, there have been many people who have tried to "use the law" to curb the content of rap, it's actually why parental advisory notices are required on rap albums with explicit content.



My goal isn't to "win arguments", I'm only here to share my opinion about the music, not censor it.

if your opinion is that something is hurting people en masse, it's a little disingenuous to say that it's just your opinion, especially on a board for the discussion of rap, with several of the posters a part of the community that you are implying is crippled by rap :francis:
if it's just your opinion, why argue with me about rappers and drugs, your opinion is no more significant than anyone elses
unless you think it is more significant, in which case, you would be better served continuing the fight for stricter censorship

My opinion is that music has influence over people, others disagree and say "it's just entertainment." it's as simple as that, I'm not on a crusade to change the music industry or censor anything but rather share my opinion and participate in discussion.,
