"When did hip-hop start embracing drug use?"


  

          

I'm talkin hard drugs. We know rappers have always talked about blowing trees and poppin bottles, but it seemed like cats didn't fuck with harder drugs or rap about em (outside of selling it). I mean you had Mac Dre talkin bout thizzles, and cats like Del talkin shrooms, but they were outliers.

I've been hearing a lot of rappers lately talkin bout doing anything they can get their hands on. Weed, coke, acid, pills of all kinds, etc. A good example would be that Schoolboy Q "Druggys with Hoes" or basically anything Danny Brown has put out recently.

Not that I have a problem with it, just wondering what the catalyst is.
