Some of the most influential Rap records of all-time in the 90's glamorize coke.
Case in point Raekwon
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. "Congratulations, Chef let's celebrate and sniff an eighth." All of the sniffing before "Knowledge God".
Back in the 90's, drugs of choice were more limited to the specific artist and region. UGK fukked with Lean and that was known to be a regional thang. Rae and Ghost fukked with coke. BG and hella N.O. nikkas fukked with dope and rapped about it. Out in DC/PG, wet has always been a big drug of choice. But nowadays in Rap, Lean/Xanax is nationwide. When I was growing up in the Bay in the 80's and 90's, Lean was never heard of, it was all about weed and liquor. Now everybody in the Bay pouring up dirty Sprites like it's 1994 in Houston. When rappers actually start endorsing dope like they endorse Lean/Molly/Xanax, we got a problem. But dope is more of a white people problem now anyway. Unless Lean gets recalled period and runs out, I don't expect a new generation of true blue dope fiends from the hood.
