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
