OG Maco took to Twitter yesterday (July 9) to share his thoughts on drugs in Rap.
“Rap about drugs and call girls hoes and wear Supreme and bape and you’ll make it,” OG Maco writes.
He then uses Future as an example of an artist who raps about drugs and sets a poor example for listeners.
“I love Future,” OG Maco says, “but I also understand Future has destroyed countless lives by making it cool to be a drug addict. 56 Xans isn’t cool.”
On his song, “56 Nights,” Future raps, “I took 56 bars all in one month nigga and I’m still dranking.” Bars are units of the drug Xanax.
A fan discredits OG Maco’s statement because the rapper made his success off of “U Guessed It.” In the song, Maco calls women “hoes” and “bitches” and he talks about all the money he supposedly has.
Maco responds to the fan by saying that his song gives him credibility because he purposefully worked the system.
“‘U Guessed It’ was not luck,” Maco says. “It wasn’t a accident. I made the dumbest song I possibly could on a beat full of bass and knew it would blow. I manipulated over 40 million minds and counting based on the exact same principles that I’m preaching. Who’s more qualified to say this?”
He blames the state of the industry on the listeners who are easily manipulated.
“The fact is there’s more weak minds than ever before,” he says. “There’s more peons than ever before. And platforms like Twitter make you think otherwise.”
He then posts his song, “No Mo,” where he says he has already addressed these issues.
“Where the fuck is our common sense / All I see is our common sins / Excrement in our testaments / Scumbags is our common friends” he raps.
He is stating 100% facts… its just that 90% of the audience that he is talking too are lost, and aint trying to change….. THe more I hear dude talk the more I like him (Pause lol).
I agree hip hop should be about leading people especially the younger generation come on people look up to these guys example is everything
Zans been getting popped before Future even existed…if u a real og..u wouldnt giva fuck what these kids doing….u ogs aint shot no more…the ogs n da past wouldnt have let the streets down…u a blog clown og!
I feel him 100% even tho i font follow his music. He speaking the truth.but @ the same time ppl gotta think for themselves..not gon lie future grew on me,but he doesn’t mak me wana go sipp lean n pop pills.or any other rapper i listen 2 tht experiment w drugs.thts their lives.its up 2 the listener 2 mak wise choices.especially wen u see wut tht sht do 2 ppl…but hey,teaches on…
hes right though
Dude I agree making it cool to do or sell drugs is super stupid. That poisons promising minds!
When you hear little kids saying them future songs you know they lost. Though a lot of macos music ain’t the most positive I appreciate the fact that he will speak/rap about social issues from time to time. Black on black love
Um pretty sure rappers been doing this since the early 90s nigga. You want to bring up future because he’s popular? Niggas just lookin for publicity on a mans name. Make no mistakes, I hate future but this was obviously a publicity grab disguised in fake enlightenment
You are prettty sure? You are pretty wrong. Future and 95% of these rappers nowadays couldnt make it in the 90s. 90’s had too much RAW rappers like Nas, Pac, biggie, KRS One, REAL gangstas not these lollipop rappers today.
You actually had to have TALENT in the 90’s to make it. 2000’s changed all that.
this dude ain’t shit. i just seen the freshman ciphers last night and he has one of the worst verses out of the whole group. he talks about the same shit as Future…but he somehow thinks he’s above that? This guy who doesn’t think Jay and Em are important? FOH
This guy is too intelligent for these idiots. They mad cuz he was talking the truth, he made the most ignorant song on a simple beat with a lot of bass and lyrics that dont make no sense…. and people BOUGHT IT!
Now that they realize what he was doing they mad cuz they got trolled. Where is yoru common sense? This guy is waking up a lot of people.
Fact is most black youth nowadays can’t speak English properly, let alone write or spell. Truth
Maco is That You? I Knew it! Whats up nigga Where u Been at? Holla

WTF IF DUDE TALKING ABOUT.. THIS NIGGA SOUND JUST LIKE FUTURE.. ORIGINAL CONTENT IS NO LONGER VALUED. …
If Future is one of his favorite rappers of all time then he clearly has no business speaking on…anything related to rap.
