People complain about 50 Cent talking about mollies on "hate being sober" cause he doesn't do drugs. This dude is held to a standard that no other rapper is held to, mainly because of him and his values i.e. authenticity is his calling card.

But when the talk about his "hate being sober" lyric. "She's a hot tamale, when she pops the molly". they act as if he's brand new.

The first song I ever heard mention mollies is from 50 cent song stretch, off of his Before I self destruct CD, that's what 3 years before Chief Keef and Trinidad James.

I just remember it from Danny Brown but I'm sure he wasn't the first. I assume it was probably a cat who spends 95% of his rhymes talking about drugs like Juicy J or someone like that.

For those who replied, I know what a Molly is EX or MDMA, but what I'm asking is about the slang name "Molly". I know it's not new, but in song when did you hear it called molly? what year? Mine was 2009.

Ya, I got offered a "molly" back in 06. I wasn't trying to fukk with it tho but i'm also wondering what the first instance was in rap.
I remember that Gucci song when he said that shyt, when was that tho?

Le Flare's been on the E/MDMA wave for a minute, certainly one of the originators of the "movement"

First time I heard it referenced in a rap HAD to be Juicy J. Like something off the YNM tape, or Rubba Band Business 1/2.

Better question is . . when did the industry start pushing it on the mainstream

. . Probably not long after the resurface of underground EDM in modern culture . . Probably not long after some big wigs at Interscope/Universal invested in some heavy Molly weight to flood our country with.

Great feeling, but are we a generation of guinea pigs? Do we know how this will affect our health later in life?

With that said . . the Thizz movement certainly encompasses Molly and would of co-signed it's relevance. I'm pretty sure Madonna stole her MDNA album name from Mac Dre

Why the insults? it is a question. If you can offer clarity please do so. This isn't about a race to the top, it's about sharing information. If I chose to insult you I could. I chose not to because I need you to contribute.

Respect

I made this so you will understand u dig
