The slab god, Paul Wall has some choice words for rappers who have hijacked the Houston culture in an interview with DJ Smallz Eyes.
Normally when one thinks of the Houston rap scene, thoughts of Big Moe, Pimp C, DJ Screw, sipping lean and chopped up music are some of the novelties embedded in the culture that come to mind. These novelties have since spread worldwide, from the art of a slowed down beat on a Top 40 Pop track to the acceptance of sipping lean as part of the Hip Hop culture as a whole.
Rappers such as Future have capitalized on the culture made popular by those Houston legends who have all died in the name of the drug and Paul Wall is asking that those borrowing from the culture to salute the originators of the trend
“These rap industry culture vultures, they done stole our culture man and made it mainstream,” the Swishahouse rapper says. “[It’s] a mainstream culture now. But that come with the territory. All we want is some credit.”
Master P recently commented on the trend during an interview with The Breakfast Club saying that he believes lean is killing this generation.
The Grammy-nominated rapper thinks differently however and says that it isn’t the syrup that is killing people but it is the lifestyle of unhealthy eating, drinking alcohol with syrup and mixing lean with Xanax or any other variation of the drug, that is killing people.
“Google how many people have died from syrup overdose and see what come up,” he says. “It’s going to be nothing but stuff about Pimp C, DJ Screw and other shit but where are all the people who keep dying? That’s three people. Pimp C, DJ Screw and Big Moe. That’s three people. Where are all the other people who died?”
Since the trend of rapping about sipping drank has become mainstream and acceptable in Hip Hop, the Po-Up Poet voices his frustrations of being told by people outside of Texas, that when he does sip lean he is biting off Atlanta, Detroit or New York.
“It’s a lot of culture vultures out there who are taking our culture down here in Texas,” the “Drank” rapper says. “It is killing our culture because this used be our thing and everybody in the world used to laugh at us and talk about, ‘Man, y’all doing y’all little country shit down there in Houston and sippin’ on syrup.’ Now the whole entire world is walking around with double white cups man and they pouring fake syrup. They don’t know what they pouring. They just drinking something just so they can say they sipping syrup. They killing our culture. That’s what’s being killed is our culture down here.”
Paul Wall also notes that while double cups have become popular elsewhere, in Houston it is now considered passé and new lean sippers don’t know the real reason why they used double cups. According to our research, the styrofoam cup is traditionally used to keep it cold however, it’s the double cup that actually keeps it from leaking.
Paul Wall maintains that he sips lean everyday and hasn’t been to the doctor yet. The key is to have balance.
“I personally, don’t know not one person in my whole life who has died as a result of sippin’ syrup,” The Peoples Champ rapper says.

Dummy. I personally, don’t know not one person in my whole life who has died as a result of sippin’ syrup,” That’s like me saying “I don’t know a single person that has had a heroin overdose”…. but we all know it happens everyday right?
Damn right moderation is key haha

you want credit for getting people hooked on My Baby’s First Opiate©? you’re a clown. i hope you end up in a gutter wit a spike in your arm CULTURE VULTURE
lol… fisher price: my first opiate ©.
If you are sipping that stuff just know that one more sip can lead to your death, all cause you wanna look cool. It eats your stomach lining, clogs your arteries, and is a dangerous opiate that kills. If you don’t overdose and keep using you will have a heart attack. Stay away from that garbage. Paul Wall has the education of a 9th grader, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. He’s way too old and irresponsible to be promoting this trash to kids that think it’s cool.
Paul Wall puts hair dye in his goatee
corny wigger a grown ass man that thinks drinking cough syrup is cool
Paul Wall high on syrup in this interview and sounds like a junkie.
your white your opinions on hiphop is invalid. The nerve of this culture vulture to use that phrase.
lol stfu. your opinion is invalid
I’m convinced, I’m sipping syrup
LMAO, the irony in this corny fuckin queer calling anybody culture vultures. Does this f.aggot ever look in the mirror or listen to how hard he`s trying to change the way he speaks? Then the best part of his sheer stupidity, He says……”I personally, don’t know not one person in my whole life who has died as a result of sippin’ syrup,”………..after naming 3 texas rapper that he knows who died from lean. What a complete tool. Oh and life is going to be great for you once your kidneys fail from all that codeine abuse, you fucking dumbass. Dont promote this shit you simpleton, smfh.
Paul Wall is benefiting off of the “double cup” or “lean” propaganda. He’s been making and still makes music about sippin syrup, swangin, riding slabs and its appealing. Primarily to those who listen to his music as well as other southern artist. It’s nothing wrong with this because this is “entertaining” or “entertainment”. However when you have regular people looking up to and living this lifestyle, then it’s becomes problrmatic. So Master P stating the obvious means less CDs he and other artist can sell. Which makes him look crazy to a free thinking individual. However for me it’s a marketing tool. I see and comprehend what’s going, on well played Paul Wall.
We all know that the hands down, biggest culture vulture of them all resides on this very site. He is………………Soren “FUCKTARD” Faker.
how many different names can we call Paul Wall in one article?
Lean is junky shit and if u onit u either got the gucci bella cus u constipated or u got the runs,he must b addict taking it daily just to function so he dont withdraw no one raps about the negative shit Fuck liquid heroin!!
Big Moe aka The Barre Baby died from sippin lean, but he is right, you cant go overboard.
He was also fat as fuckkkkkkkk that may have helped….
Big Mo was a heart attack waiting to happen.
