daruckus said:That's not a cup of alcohol, it's that purple stuff. He's a big lean fiend or as we like to call it in Houston, a drank head
PriestTheyCalledHim said:So what is it then? Kid's grape flavored cough syrup? A sports drink? Purple malt liquor?
daruckus said:Promethazine VC Codeine. Purple cough syrup which is mixed with your favorite soda to make a drink.
It actually tastes fantastic and will get you pretty nice and toasted. It's heavily abused in Houston and became popularized there. We drink it and listen to Screw tapes which are records that are slowed down in pitch. It goes wwith the effects of the syrup and weed
PriestTheyCalledHim said:I heard about some up and coming rapper from Houston who had been signed to a record label, how he OD'd on that stuff.I'm not sure who it was though.
How does it differ from regular cough syrup with codeine? I never noticed music slowing down when I took pharm. opiates.
daruckus said:A lot of houston rappers drink the syrup. It became popularized by DJ Screw, the guy who started the slow down AKA screwed mixtapes. I don't think it's possible to OD on just the syrup though. A lot of people combine other drugs such as xanax bars etc with their syrup
It differs because of the promethazine. The promethazine potentiates the codeine and adds the sleepiness. It's the combination of the opiate and the sedative antihistimine that produces the "lean" effect. And it's not that you hear music slower, but when you drink the syrup and smoke some good weed, the music sounds really appealing because you yourself get a bit slowed down
phactor said:Yeah... kinda messed up. "I'm a prisoner behind Xanax bars"..
anyways he could be in trouble, he was arrested awhile back for possession of hydrocodone and xanax, and again somewhat recently and now this. I think weezy is going to do some time
captainballs said:I bet it's got some purp in it too.
Roger&Me said:Apparently at one of his shows he commented something to the effect of: "A junkie can't do what the fuck I do. I try to tell them. I am the ultimate high, understand? I am my own drug, you understand me?"
He literally claims to be, himself, an actual drug. I fucken love weezy.
Pimp C's Death Ruled Accidental Overdose

LOS ANGELES -- Influential Southern rapper Pimp C died of an accidental overdose of a combination of drugs he had named in his lyrics — codeine and promethazine, the county coroner's office ruled Monday.
The drugs are key ingredients in "syrup," a narcotic of choice in Southern rap circles that was most famously celebrated by Three 6 Mafia and Pimp C's group Underground Kingz in the 2000 single "Sippin' on some Syrup."
The coroner's office said Pimp C had sleep apnea, which causes people to stop breathing for up to 30 seconds at a time while sleeping. That illness combined with large amounts of prescription-strengt h cough syrup is what killed the rapper, coroner's Capt. Ed Winter said.
DJ Screw, another influential figure in the Texas hip-hop scene, died of a heart attack in 2000 after a reported overdose of codeine-laced cough syrup.
Pimp C, born Chad Butler, was 33 when he was found in his bed Dec. 4 at the upscale Mondrian hotel in West Hollywood. The coroner's office said his body was decomposing when it was found.
With partner-in-rhyme Bun B, Pimp C was half of the pioneering Port Arthur, Texas-based rap duo UGK. The group's self-titled CD topped the Billboard charts last year. Pimp C had been working on a solo effort before he died.
