As one of Hip Hop’s foremost specialists on marijuana, Styles P of The LOX can attest to a giant discrepancy between White weed smokers and Black weed smokers, not to mention who’s been allowed in the legalized weed business.
In a recent fireside chat with Jacobi Holland’s On The Revel, Holiday Styles detailed why he feels there needs to be a change regarding weed policy and who shapes the weed market.
“I’m just going to be honest: [White] guys grow the pot, you never go to jail for it, make tons of fucking money for it,” he began. “We buy the pot that you grow, it fucks up our future, we get arrested for it, now you got a felony and a bunch of misdemeanors, now you can’t get a job. How the fuck do we fix the problem? By addressing the problem. Let’s figure out how to get some of these black kids some money over this fucking pot.”
Styles P continued, “Let’s give the opportunity to everybody. We fucking arrested them for years, fucked up for years over this shit. Let’s make a change and make something different. The real shit is kids are going to do it anyway. So, do you want to make the change or do you not want to make the change?”
Styles P, Wiz Khalifa & B-Real Show Off Iron Lungs While 'Training' For Smokers Olympics
The Gangster And A Gentleman rapper who endeared himself to smokers all over with his “Good Times (I Get High)” single in 2002 has been preparing his lungs against some of Hip Hop’s elite tokers for a variation of the Smokers Olympics.
After he proposed such a competition, fellow stoners such as Wiz Khalifa and Cypress Hill’s B-Real began preparation, but Styles upped the ante by training with a gravity bong.
According to a February Instagram post from Styles P, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Method Man, Redman, Curren$y, B-Real, Jim Jones, Smoke DZA and Berner are all down to compete. Ghost is currently looking to get Devin The Dude involved, too.
this fella was latino and he would get so defensive about smoking weed as he did. he took down websites, harassed people about his habit and threatened people if they tried to stop him. he was also part of a pro-legalisation lobby to legalise dope in california. i would smoke dope it became an addiction for me i almost lost my life. so you can do your drug deals in the car park over the road i won’t tell the police who am i to talk.
Shut the fuck up styles. Twice bating guck
1 it’s basically legal. 2 you had a choice not to buy or sell it back in the days like everyone else. 3. Noones stopping y’all from getting legal licenses and growing business. There’s already a bunch quit cryin
“Fuck up our future” but no one shoved these things down your throat, and that goes for alcohol and drugs too. I’m black, it’s not a race thing. People want access to these things and then will still complain of how they messed up people’s lives. Either permit them all or restrict them all.
It’s because white people don’t kill people over weed like others. Look at Florida as an example!
Politicians continue to confuse rappers making them think everything is always about race! Rappers then spread this negative thought process onto the listeners, and the cycle continues
The best thing is, the listeners who are people of color end up going to jail because they think that there’s no way around any of this. Yet somehow the most prosperous immigrants in this country are people of color from Africa, India and Pakistan. They have nothing to do with the culture and hip-hop. What a coincidence.
Styles P sounds like an idiot. What a huge generalization regarding white dealers and black smokers. You know why they make the money? Because they bust their ass and get their shit going. Most black cannabis business owners are too lazy to actually build a business up. They think it’s just selling weed over a counter. Black folks need to stfu about whites already. That shit is old and played out. Dude said they sell it to us and we go to jail for it. How the fuck is that white people’s fault? Fucking dumbass.
Nobody likes ya’ll. White men are the most vile, destructive and evil force this world has ever seen. And it’s by a lot too, so…just deal with that reality and enjoy the benefits…
We don’t give a fck how u feel about us tho.. ok we’re evil.. quit cryin and stay away from us and begging for our acceptance
The white guys dress like dorks, drive Subarus and put their money in the bank (growers). They pay their taxes and justify their income. The black guys dress like thugs, carry around wads of cash and don’t have a legitimate career to justify the money. It’s simple. Not racism. Live smart.
Do y’all even like hip hop? The people that comment here are goofy lol.
Why everytime some rapper says some shit about white ppl and white ppl defend themselves black ppl like oh you don’t even like hiphop.. why bc whites defend themselves against dumbasses?
The ole blame game, imagine that.
