Molly, Hip-Hop's Latest Drug Trend: Trinidad James, Others Weigh In
Hip-hop and drug culture have long had a symbiotic relationship. In the 1980s, rap flourished out of New York City just as the crack/cocaine epidemic hit the streets. Melle Mel rapped about it on 1983's "White Lines," and almost a decade later, Dr. Dre introduced us to The Chronic, a potent strand of marijuana that he named his 1992 masterpiece after.
In 2012, Molly became the new "it" drug in hip-hop, name-dropped by a number of artists including Kanye West, Juicy J, Rick Ross, French Montana, Mac Miller and newcomer Trinidad James.
Molly is the pure powder or crystal form of MDMA, a drug commonly used in ecstasy pills, and it is known to induce a euphoric state. James, who appeared on "RapFix Live" on Wednesday, has become a scapegoat of late for the drug because of his "pop a Molly, I'm sweatin' " lyric from his breakout single "All Gold Everything."
