Eminem was. But I’m not even going to get into that, he did this then....they did this now bs that this always falls too. But riding the hip hop moral line has always been an incredibly, slippery slope....drenched in hypocrisy. And it always comes from some bs generational gap ****. I hate it.
*****s don’t really want to address this on a larger scale. Just pick and choose times to wag their finger at destructive behavior. Once you step back and look at the entire picture...and with music specifically and how it’s BEEN intertwined with Drug use and harmful behavior...you’d get a better view.
Yeah its really a wider pop culture problem in general

I use too , stopped in 2014 after a seizure and some health scares . I liked the feeling not gonna lie but I know I was addicted because I had these bad *** withdrawals if I went more than 4 days with out it . I started sipping at 14 but it was part of the culture where I grew up at in lake Charles , so some of it was peer pressure but most was curiosity . Also stopped because I was spending close to 10-12k a month on getting re-upped , seems like prices went up the further I got from Texas and Louisiana .

I think they are. People love to paint with a large brush...but I’m personally seeing people in my own circles and across the board adopting healthier lifestyles with balance...and they are rooted in hip hop culture. Shoot, our very own

is out here making some moves on the humble...in a healthy way. Y’all wouldn’t know it tho. But the collective consciousness has taken a jump. We can thank the people before us that got to wild out and grow...of the ones who died young.Like let’s be real. We all love to turn up, Wild out and engage in **** that may not be the best for us from time to time. That’s human nature...and the reliance on substance and music have intersected the for hundreds of years. The key is always balance, moderation and knowing yourself...growing. Easier said than done...but it’s a process.
A musician will dabble in some kind of drugs or addictive, destructive behavior weather it be creativity, lifestyle, influence, sleeping habits, working habits etc. The sad reality is some will go too hard and crash out. They may be young, talented with unfulfilled potential....but it’s a reality that’s not a new phenomenon.

Agreed and I know with some of the recent losses of the elder statesman who aren't really that old has contributed to that shift.
Would never tell someone not to rap about their life or their experiences and I aint in to censoring art but Hip-Hop and society as a whole can do a better job in general with regards to health and wellness. Every one has a part they can do

I’ve always ate and loved my veggies, and had a balanced diet. Just an observation

Only drug I did from time to time was E pills. From about '07-'10, we used to do it almost every Saturday. It was really popular in Charleston. People still pop them actually but the quality ain't the same like it used to be. Other than that, alcohol is all I do.
Once Molly popped on the scene, I stopped cause that ish always seemed sketch to me.

I’ve had Molly a handful of times, not in years at this point. Never anything I went out and seeked. It was definitely fun but we always tested it. Still, looking back, I always just trusted whatever friend had it. The come downs aren’t really worth it either.

it's honestly unfair to single out hip-hop when rock pretty much promotes the same message just without the violence not that I know of atleast

You might of missed the part where I mentioned its bigger than music. This is the rap thread, a rapper died, this is the reason it was mentioned first

Never been a drinker or smoker. Ain't did either in like 8 years. Never get the urge to. Peer pressure never got to me at all. Growing up in DC drugs and alcohol was everywhere. I was basically scared straight as a child. It wasn't something I saw as "fun". It was destructive type of use I saw.
