  1. Scarface album, The Fix, could have doubled as the soundtrack to Rocky Lockridge’s episode on Intervention. *DEAD*

  2. mmm..crack is bad mmmkay?

  3. i would hope no rappers are smokin crack. Im sure plenty do blow though. I know a rapper that was a heroin addict, but hes clean for a year now, and has been spitting fire since. I would drop his name, but you’ll know his name soon enough

  4. doubt we will if his best bud takes time out to stop by the c-section

  5. Rappers/ MCs been rapping about cocaine since the Raekwon Only built 4 cuban linx days isn’t sudden or new to me…..

  6. Shrooms, x, angel dust, ganja…but coke? I prefer pepsi :/

  7. wow meka…you listen to jefferson airplane. this shit is sad but true. i love clipse but its just like “word? coke all day and slangin crack’s sweet?”

  8. “White Lines (Don’t Do It)” – 1982
    “Licensed to ILL LP” – 1986
    “Night Of THe Living Baseheads” – 1988
    “Mr. Scarface Is Back” – 1991

    and the list goes on and on……..
    Meka, you just now catchin’ on?

  9. Yeah, it’s “so sudden…”

    Worst blogger ever…and that’s pretty bad.

  10. I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed this but recently it’s like ooh let’s go back to the 80s!

  11. @bon & everyone elso who make these type of comments…
    Can we quit with the snarky, personal, “oh you’re such a loser since you’re on here in the c-section” stuff? IDK, just seems really mean spirited since you’re doin’ the same fuckin’ thing & there ARE actually several relevant artists that do be in these forums. I’m old & on here at 3 in the morning cuz, yeah, I don’t have anything better to do. So what?! It’s interesting & fascinating to me. I, most likely, can & will fuck most you guys up physically or whatever, too but that’s a moot point so let’s just KIM & conversate like civilized folk.

  12. Also, he didn’t say that it was his “best bud,” just someone he knows of.

  13. Rappers aredoing heroin. Ever hear of these rappers talkinga bout Oxycotin? Yea thats heroin.

  14. @bon I’m not his best bud, I’m his manager. And the dude has a track with Skyzoo & Illmind, 2 tracks with Khrysis, 6 tracks with Little Vic, stuff in the works with Torae, Wordsmith, Grieves & Budo, & Sean Boog. So yea, trust me you will be hearing this guy when we ready.

    @JacquesMorei Oxycotin is weaker than heroin, but yea, if you do enough, it is heroin.

  15. Go to an AA meeting in a big city. You’ll be amazed at who you see.

    OT: Rapper’s been doin’ dope for as long as rap’s been around. Dope’s here to stay, the war on drugs failed. My idea for a solution? Stop incarcerating low level users and dealers and go after the big boys to drive the price wayyyy up. Granted, this won’t work since our great US Penal system provides so many jobs in cities where there is a serious lack of work, but a guy can dream.
