He passed away in 2019 at the age of 21 from a drug overdose. His songs always contained a mixture of admiration and fear, liberation and dependence. In fact, this &#8220;contradictory emotion&#8221; is the core of how hip-hop portrays drugs. If you listen to modern rap, you will naturally hear weed, syrup, and Xanax in the lyrics. However, on the other hand, painful cries such as &#8220;I lost my friends to drugs&#8221; and &#8220;I want to get out of addiction&#8221; are also coming out of the same microphone. Why do rappers glorify drugs and deny them at the same time? We approached the &#8220;reality&#8221; of modern hip-hop that lies behind that &#8220;duality.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3409b78 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3409b78\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f44af2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4f44af2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n-684x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14798\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n-860x1288.jpg 860w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/464090054_1118820739606846_8764037153002887274_n.jpg 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd679f8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bd679f8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1552038 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1552038\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">By \u201cpraising\u201d oneself, one speaks of one\u2019s past<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77d91ea e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"77d91ea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9147dfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9147dfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;Drugs are also proof that we survived,&#8221; says a veteran MC in Tokyo. For him, marijuana and drugs were not just &#8220;luxury goods,&#8221; but symbols of survival. The roots of hip-hop lie in communities that grew up in poverty, crime, and discrimination. In that reality, drugs were work, escape, and bond. For example, the weed smoked by American artists Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa is not just a way to relax. It is a &#8220;ritual for those who are not accepted by society to regain themselves,&#8221; and a cultural counter to oppression. In Japan, there is a similar context in the depiction of marijuana as a lifestyle by artists such as Namedatsuma and Red Eye. &#8220;Smoking&#8221; is not just a hobby, but an expression that presents the way of their &#8220;life.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4fe9b4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c4fe9b4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e300dda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e300dda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">But the struggle is real.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1546adc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1546adc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01b4953 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01b4953\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the same time, rappers know the price of drugs. It is not an illusion, but a real pain that has cost so many of their friends their lives. Mac Miller, who died in 2018, Lil Peep, who passed away in 2017, and Juice WRLD. They were all consumed by drugs at a young age and left only their music behind. After their deaths, their friends began to express their regret for the &#8220;glorification of drugs&#8221; in their songs. In the United States, Kendrick Lamar left behind a lyric that religiously warns that &#8220;addiction cuts off the connection with God,&#8221; and in Japan, rapper Han a.k.a. GAMI continues to question &#8220;what is freedom&#8221; in the silence following his arrest. Red Eye stated on YouTube that &#8220;addiction is lame. Don&#8217;t let yourself be controlled by smoking.&#8221; In his words, we can read the compatibility of &#8220;enjoying&#8221; and &#8220;not being destroyed.&#8221;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91f94bf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91f94bf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97c40ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"97c40ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The real thing lies between affirmation and negation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e0f3ad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6e0f3ad\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50244b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50244b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis &#8220;duality&#8221; is not a contradiction at all.

In a culture where this is considered &#8220;real,&#8221; this stance on drugs can also be seen as a sincere expression. Music is not something that preaches about what is right or wrong, but a mirror that reflects reality.
