Len Bias wasn’t shot to death breh. He snorted coke and his heart couldn’t take it, he was celebrating going to the NBA it was his first time.

Shyt broke my damn heart
Didn’t mean for it to come across like that. Just went on a rant.

I don’t think that song was about drugs though. I think it was more about pum pum than nose candy.

it was about females.

Where are all the people ready to blame music for the state of the community? Why oh why did we have a crack era in the first place if there weren't a bunch of rappers pushing it on the community?

We can do this all day, because the drug world was my thing since i was little

You were little in the 90's. I was little in the 70's. I don’t have to read what other people thought about it since I saw it first-hand.​

Now, you say addiction wasn't viewed like it is now, you just showed you have no idea how shyt goes, like most black people who accept being treated like shyt. Please learn something before speaking

If you have to rely on Wikipedia for information, then you, sir, need to fall ALL the way back. As I said, I saw it first-hand. My earliest memories are of seeing cats strung-out on the jungle gym behind the projects we lived in. Police would make them get up and move, but they'd be right back there a couple hours/days later. The first dead body I saw was a cat with a needle sticking out of his arm under the stairs in my building when I was 5. There were NO addiction treatment centers in the 'hood. If you OD'd, they called the ambulance, took you to the hospital, and you were back on the street in a day or two unless you had warrants......or died.​

None of the 'safety nets' and programs that your Wikipedia article mentions were in-place. Addicts of all types just went to the hospital, jail, or the morgue. My grandma was a volunteer at our local hospital and knew most of the addicts that came through there. I lost count of the times I saw her crying because an addict she tried to help didn't make it. She died in 1981.

Things didn't improve in that regard until the mid-90's.​

You have NO idea how shyt actually worked back then so you cannot possibly 'school' me.​

Powder takes time to hit, and you can't smoke it. You can but you are wasting most of it

When you make crack or freebase you are releasing the salt, and it's pure cocaine. That makes it easy to smoke, so it hits you faster,.and you save your nose. I met a white guy who sniffed so much cocaine he could put a napkin between his nose, the cocaine burned the middle part out

this is precisely what cocaine does....ike turner talked about it in his autobiography.....

So, that was a Wikipedia page? Ok, bruh

You are sad because you just keep proving my points

I hope people who read our posts can see how foolish you are

My point was the safety nets weren't put in black neighborhoods, and the governemnt knew how to deal with the shyt, instead they chose the criminal justice system, and the crime bill was a major one.

You need to learn how argue, you keep helping me

 

[⠀X ⠀]

wait this song's about crack????

It was probably more about Coke than crack. I know them nikkas were freebasing tho.

 

[Fukwatutalkinwatisaylaw]

I remember when the world went crazy back in 1985
I remember when rock cocaine used to be rich man kind of high
'Til one day in my neighborhood motherfukkers started havin' fetti
They was hangin' on the corner yellin' "BASE ROCKS nikka!"
Bumpin' Too Short "Blowjob Betty"

40 don't get enough respect.. If u eva were in tha streets foreal u know what he spittin truth..

Your points are 'woulda, coulda, shoulda'. My point is, that's how it was. You keep attempting to say otherwise, but you can't revise history when people who lived through it are still alive.​

I hope people who read our posts can see how foolish you are

There's only one fool in here....and it ain't me.​

My point was the safety nets weren't put in black neighborhoods, and the governemnt knew how to deal with the shyt, instead they chose the criminal justice system, and the crime bill was a major one.

You're still under the mistaken impression that addiction was something more pressing in Black neighborhoods than crime. Sorry, that wasn't the case. We didn't care about addicts. We were more worried about getting robbed/shot. Addicts weren't doing that.....until the Crack Epidemic.​

You need to learn how argue, you keep helping me

You need to learn how to read because your argument fails.

I'll make it easy for you to understand: Black people didn't consider addiction a problem. We considered CRIME a big problem.

Addiction /= crime until the Crack Epidemic.

When addicts began going HAM, we wanted them put in jail with all the other criminals.

THAT’S my argument.

Interesting. The women in those clips who admitted to using crack spoke so clearly.

Nowadays when people talk, I can barely understand what they are attempting to say. And their vocabulary is so limited.

School systems encouraged critical thinking and people had to interact with each other.

Kids and sub-20 year olds are dummies today because they watch tablets instead of having real conversations....

The Crack Era has probably done more damage in one generation than Jim Crow did in dozens....those crack babies and abandoned children from that era are now parents, look how that is working out..

What upsets me is when it is Black folks, "A War On Drugs"... Today it's cacs....and a "Health Crisis"... Foh...
