I can tell you one thing, it was not Snoop Dogg. He was definitely not the first to rap about weed.Quote:

Yes, even heavy metal (as classic rock was influenced by it, and heavy metal 'evolved' (devolved?) out of classic rock).
Seems it's firmly entrenched in the metal world now too. Every metal concert these days is a cloud of smoke. When I went to Ozzfest it was bongs and pipes everywhere and stoners at every turn.
We've got the rap, we've got the metal, the stoner swarm is coming!:jointsmile:
Shit came from P Funk man and Bootsy Collins and the escapades of R&B bad boys like Jmes Brown and Rick James ( I kno I kno two different eras but they were I conic so Blah). Curtis Blow started it back in 1979 and P Funk in 73. Look up George Clinton and Bootsy Collins
If you like Snoop Dogg you'll love them dre, easy, Ice cube took samples from most of their songs. Even 2PAC it was west coast funk baby "Pop lockin' it west coast style"

Probably some bum in the 80's. But the first good weed songs came from Cypress Hill in 91, Redman in 92, Bone Thugs in 93, Three 6 Mafia, Snoop, Dre ect..
Kurtis Blow, what a legend. "Clap your hands everybody If you got what it takes 'Cause I'm Kurtis Blow and I want you to know That these are the breaks". I think you're right to be honest, I noticed Snoop has actually taken a lot of old school stuff and used it himself. Like Sugar Hill gang and the double dutch bus.Quote:
