Rap thread

Pimp C died of recreational usage of promethazine codeine, called "syrup" or "lean", combined with a sleep apnea condition. It was an accidental overdose. There's a lot of rappers that use syrup, most notably Lil Wayne, who I forecast dying of some drug related death. Others that are associated with the rap game who have died of syrup consumption are DJ Screw and Big Moe.

All 3 that you mentioned are from H-Town. :( (Pimp C is technically from Port Arthur, but that's pretty close to Houston)

I wouldn't be surprised if Lil Wayne died from syrup; he's from New Orleans if I remember correctly.

There are tons of rappers (specifically from the south) that talked about "syrup."

Mike Jones is one example.

The_Future, are you from Houston? You seem to like the Rockets/Francis, and this? Coincident really?

Houston rappers are good.

My Favorites:

1. Z-Ro
2. Chamillionaire
3. UGK (RIP Pimp C) -Man they were good. I think Pimp C going to prison kind of ****** up the group. He died like months/year after getting out.

I also like: Geto Boys, Big Melo, Trae..., I'm sure there is more.

I hate Mike Jones. Ugh. What a horrible horrible image for Houston....

I don't really hate Paul Wall, but I can find him sometimes annoying. Sometimes I like his songs though. Mixed feelings with him.

I once lived in Houston for 8-10 years, but right now I'm out on the West Coast. I agree with you on Mike Jones, lol. You mentioned some great rappers, but you forgot to mention Slim Thug. ;)

That's funny.

There is also a drink called Drank. The can is purple and it's suppose to be an anti-energy drink. Lots of my friends (me included) love that drink. Tastes like grape soda.

Obviously, that company saw how popular syrup was and made that drink. I think it's only in the South, particularly Houston.

Anti-Energy? lol how does that work?

Who's ready for Dr Dre's Detox to drop?? I think it was originally planned for a 2004 release date, but Dre pushed it back to help out his other guys.
Talk about a huge push back, it's been 5 years!
