Vic Mensa: “Hip-Hop Has To Hold Itself Accountable For Glorification Of Drug Culture”

Published: Friday 27th Dec 2019 by David

Vic Mensa wants the Hip Hop community to think long and hard about its glorification of life-ruining drugs.

His thoughts below…

TMZ spotted Vic in West Hollywood and discussed the tragic death of the artist Juice WRLD with him.

Here’s what he had to say…

 

 

We need to recognize that the shit we talk about influences children. So when we are steady pushing a message of lean and Percocets and Xans, we are polluting the minds of the youth. We have a responsibility to give it to them in a real way. Not to say that you can’t talk about your real life and the things that are happening but I think that we need to start holding each other and ourselves accountable for our glorification of the drug culture, 100 percent. That’s just what it is. Anything else, that’s parasitic to our people to just act like this is the shit to be on lean all the time

 

Do you agree?

    No lies detected. This is part of a much larger conversation, but he is right here.

      Alright let me say a couple things. 1, Vic can EAD for what he has said about dead people in the past. 2, he’s right but to a certain degree. The drug, CRACK was placed into the black culture in the 80s by the C1A. Don’t debate this, do some research. 3, fake white j3ws are running it behind the scenes. Hip-hop/rap was specifically created to destroy black culture. Long story short, the hip-hop/rap industry cannot exist with positivity. It will always be demonizing. So in order to fix this they’d have to be put to a halt. Esau is running the devils world

    P.R.E.A.C.H !

    At the same time, music consumers must not duplicate what they hear. It’s just brainless entertainment. I, personally, will groove to filthy lyrics while, in truth, I make Mariah pass for h**.

    It’s sad that it’s always black ppl pushing the negative on our own ppl, if it’s not disrespectful treatment of woman, then its clubbing, killing each other, promiscuity, drinking, or drugs. But they stay thinking it’s the other man keeping them down. At some point you have too that we are the problem.

    • Shayla Queen December 27, 2019

      Sad but true.

    Drug culture has been and still is glamorised in almost EVERY genre of music. If you’re going to address something, address the picture as a whole, not just a fraction of it.

    • Shayla Queen December 28, 2019

      But Hip-Hop is the most popular amongst young people at the moment and most od-ing artists are Hip-Hop artists.

      • Shay December 28, 2019

        Maybe.

  8. No Glory December 27, 2019

    Another thing, it’s funny how this c00_n can bring this up but not bring up how the beatles pretty much introduced psychadellics to the west in the 60s. And how several rock/metal artists have died because of this. So either talk about it all or not at all.

    • Shayla Queen December 28, 2019

      That’s not the issue right now though, is it? Every time there’s a tornado, do we need to mention every single precious tornado? You sound stupid.
