Down With Rap and Weed

Bone thugz is the shit

As always, Plant, your two cents are worth a lot more than that. I have to agree with you on the rhyme scheme and the musical/poetic value. Sophisticated it isn't. (I almost said "ain't," but that struck me as troubling considering the point I was making.)

Budsmoker, weed is indeed a drug, troubling as the connotation of that word may be. Maybe not a dangerous illicit, addictive "drug" in the same way that heroin or coke or methamphetamine are, despite its classification in the eyes of the law. But it's a plant that contains psychoactive chemicals, and it's a drug in the same way that caffeine or coca leaves or thousands of other found-in-nature botanical substances are, too. They're all drugs in that they all act on the body in some medically detectable way. It's up to us to help unindoctrinated folks learn to respect it as a more benign--and even beneficial--drug than the other substances it gets lumped in with legally.

yeah i guess your right but to me weed and the word drug or dope just dont go together because drugs are always considered bad and weed is anything but

god how appropriate to have this near the current state of hip hop thread. how about the current state of youth who think music(i use the term very loosely here) is good if they talk about pot. god this is our future. so so sad. i think it is just a phase though eventually theyll get stheir heads on straight
