When did it become cool to be a drug addict?

[Mowgli]

Weed is not a gateway drug. The real gateway drugs are thsee damn chemicals in the foods that lead to diseases where people end up being prescribed meds from these pharmaceutical companies.

We are talking about rap. This isn't the time you show off some shyt you learned on the Internet

Kids today I swear
Drugs have always been associated with being "cool"

where did people get the idea to "double cup"?

I asked my homie bout this.

The cup "sweats" from having the lean/soda mixture.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

pretty much. the first huge artist to normalize drug use (besides liqs n weed) is wayne. the first time i heard "i feel like dying" left me

Not to mention the supposed I cant feel my face project with Juelz that never came out...

OP imo Its all about association.

As far as I know, all these new drugs came out of the rave seen and are therefore associated with white kids. That makes it not "ghetto."

He did mention texas weather, condensation and what not..

You have a more concise answer?

 

[DreadBrown]

Drugs always been cool, all over the world

Thread shoulda been called 'When did it become cool to rap about being an addict?'

Lil Wayne made it cool to be a druggie rapper

he was spreading half truths just like everyone else who's asked to explain the origin of double cupping, it has nothing to do with cups sweating and everything to do with following a trend that someone set.

weed and liquor are the norm now but they haven't always been.. the drugs you mentioned will be the new normal, I'd argue that xanax is already normal at this point.

True. Was hanging with this 25 year old chick. Smart but bougie. She smokes weed constantly and during one session her brother hits her up trying to find the xan man . Her brothers a weedhead too...

Its funny how music has been mentioned the most in this thread as a vehicle to influence and popularize and yet some posters will say with a str8 face that music itself has 0 affect on the human brain. And im not even talking about rap specifically, im talking about music PERIOD

Folks are tripping with that lean shyt though. Might as well start messing with heroin if that's the case. Playing with those opiates.

Funny how folks will diss heroin addicts but will be all bragging about sipping lean. Smh.

It's funny because the same urban cats who used to (and still do) look down on Heroin addicts and laugh at how janky white dudes used to look in the techno clubs on ecstacy is the SAME ones sipping this Lean bullshyt, going through withdrawls and poppin' ''Molly'' now that shyt gets a shoutout in rap damn near every 4 bars while still being oblivious to the fact that they just as bad as them poor fools on the Horse and playing catch up to them twitchy dudes in the underground house clubs.

Turn up on shyt that fukks ALL the way with your health because of trends and the people who benefit from the ramifications of that shyt, brehs.
