able young men. In two ways in particular.

1. I swear it seemed like everyone started smoking weed after that album dropped. It just may have been a function of when the album dropped and my age and my friends getting into teenage stuff but I always associate a burst of weed smoking with that album.

2. Ain't No Fun - When that snoop album came out it seemed to normalize running trains. Again, it just might have been that that album dropped just when I reached an age where experimenting with weed and sex was happening.

I am not on some C Delores Tucker stuff but I do think those albums did help normalize a lot of bad ish ("gangsta rap" in general becoming mainstream) to a lot of middle class suburban/rural kids.
