If you're not an expert on Drank, I wouldn't even be trying to fukk around with it. Most this shyt probably fake. I'm surprised the shyt is this popular really. I remember sipping lean in 03-04 when my homeboy from Houston used to bring it back (and them pounds for $300

) Even then, I used to hear them talking about fake syrup and nikkas cutting shyt with Karo. That shyt was always a little confusing for me cause I didn't grow up in that culture. nikkas used be talking about Barr and Tuss and yellow and purple and all that shyt. All I know is the purple tasted the best to me.
I know nothing about the syrup game now, but common sense tells me that most these nikkas out here getting finessed on some fake shyt. Fake shyt been in the game, all the way back to when this was mainly a Texas thing. Add to that, this supposed shortage, and popularity making it the cool drug of choice; nikkas are getting scammed.
