As I sit her sippin on some NyQuil (I'm not sick...fyi...throat felt scratchy all of a sudden..lol) I decided...why yes...i would write about this travashamockery that has occurred and is surely a way to continue the downfall of minorities and the poor. I'm just sayin'.
The subject is Sizzurp - Syrup - purple drank - purple stuff (cough syrup (usually NyQuil), codeine, and soda) whatever you want to call it....if you're from the South, you've probably known about this concoction for some time now. It's been around...and in the last decade or so (damn 2000s bout to be over...shit) its been "popularized" in rap music by the likes of Lil' Wayne's addicted ass and the infamous Three 6 Mafia. Well for those who don't know when you take sizzurp you get a high that folks refer to as leaning....cuz your ass is just that damn relaxed and chill. SMH.
Well as if the illegal substance was not ENOUGH....some guy in wanna be corporate America thought it would be a grand idea to create some non illegal SYRUP. Oh you're probably thinking...that's just a great promo...trying to get people to buy this soda/energy drink what have you. BUT EEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR WAIT...hold on to that thought as i inform you that this beverage makes you "lean". It even has the tag line of "slow your roll" GTFOHWTBS. Its the anti-energy drink. WTF!!
Do we not remember that Sizzurp killed Pimp C.........do we not remember.
Do we not remember that Sizzurp killed DJ Screw.......do we not remember.
Come on people...this is a gateway to some very serious shit.
Here are some side effects (just off casual consumption.....VERY CASUAL)
"Impaired judgment, nausea, loss of coordination, headache, vomiting, loss of consciousness, numbness of fingers and toes, abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat, aches, seizures, panic attacks, psychosis, euphoria, cold flashes, dizziness, and diarrhea" (source)
CRAZINESS RIGHT............why is this allowed to continue......is it because of who it affects........of course. of course. THIS ISH HAS TO END!!!
Uhhhhh.... that is more than ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteknow what else is fXcked up? the promotion of it. one article reads: "every aspect of this calming drink was inspired by today's popular hip-hop artists who embrace the much sought-after hip-hop lifestyle that encourages people to capture a stress-free state of mind."
