[BboySo-low]

Been a Bboy for years now and never been the type for drugs but in my circle of friends we all dance but im the only one who dont touch it, trying to keep a healthy body

How many of you do ?

Does it affect your stamina and the way you bboy ?

Does it make you relax and dance better i.e im a DJ and am much better and more relaxed when i have been drinking alcohol

This is not a thread for bragging rights and im not bothered what you do just wondering ?

LOL stupid thread but always wondered

[BBOY.STALL]

^LOL...This topic has come up soooooo many times.....many people on this site will tell you that even alcohol/tobaco is unnecessary in life and it ruins lives and shit like that. Many people, like me, will tell you that smoking up some mary jane helps creativity in bboyin/art/lyrics ETC..personally..i can't dance with a whole load of people watching unless ive killed a few zoots, i kinda have this confidnece/shyness thingy goin on.

What kinda drugs do your friends take??i've never and never will touch coke...the important thing that you need to remember is that you control the drug and not to let it control you.

There has been also research that shows that ganja is, in some ways, healthy. The tar that is kept in your lungs from cigss gets blown/washed or w/e away by the smoke of mj...im not saying that you should smoke or whatever but it sure helps me and a lot of my friends relax and in some ways it allows us to dance better due to the creativity thing. Obviously smoking is bad for your health but the bbyin thing makes up for it in my opinion

Well..thats my bit....now prepare yourself to be bombarded by people screaming that smoking up is wrong and blah blah blah

[1andonlyeva]

go to the blazin up thread and ask this i think thell give you an answer

[Vice President]

seriously, all the good bboys, that i know personally, smoke. it's just a part of hip hop culture, dude. but if you don't want to smoke, that's your decision, and that's perfectly fine too.

[da DMD]

ummm there's a thread like this in General Discussion and its kinda on the 2nd page cos we got into an arguement about ppl thinking we're junkies cos we smoke a lot of dope

but yeah, everyone i dance with, chill with, drive with, and basically know all smoke, its just a natural thing that we do, but we also enjoy recreational drug use, this and that now and then but we know when to stop, and we keep each other in check.. . .gotta love getting smoked up and drinking, u get so fukt so fast, its so lovely

[Desi Boogie]

I kill shit when i pop on mary jane. Without it i always feel too tense and i rush my movements.

When i'm high i feel the music more, i appreciate it more, i relax and i feel confident, i start to play with the music and i paint my interpretation of the sounds, that's what weed does for me.

If you want to stay away from it, that's perfectly your decision, after all life is about taking risks, if you feel this is not a worthwhile one, that's up to you.

Keep in mind however, that one joint has almost no chance of affecting you adversely, unless you have a family history of mental health or experience it in a bad setting. Remember the high is only as good as the environment its taken in and the stimulation you receive will vastly affect your experience of it.

Peace

LMAO, smoking is a part of hip hop..... sorry for being the uncool kid but thats a new one on me ....

[Desi Boogie]

You obviously haven't been up on the culture then.

When was the last time you got down at a cypher? The last time you listened to a rap album from start to finish or any good rap in general? Moreover, when was the last time you talked to some writers and asked bboys you knew if they smoked weed?

Rap is literally littered with references to weed smoking, hell even Q-Tip from ATCQ smoked weed back when ATCQ and the Native Tongues Possie were pioneering hip hop.

Nas smokes weed
MF Doom smokes weed
Quasimodo smokes weed
Guru smokes weed
Busta Rhymes smokes weed
Dr Dre smokes weed
Talib Kweli smokes weed or has at one time
Souls of Mischief smoke weed
Heiro, best believe they smoke chiba
ATCQ did smoke weed at one time or another, whether it was one or all of them, i'm not sure

I could go on like this for some time but unless you're stupid (which i know you're not) perhaps now you've realised just how ingrained MJ usage is in hip hop culture.

Peace

Busta rhymes is hiphop o_O ?

And, i dont see much weed in hiphop. The best b-boys ive met stay of it. And i think that most of the drug use comes from gangsta rap and not hip hop.

[da DMD]

ahhh gangsta rap = crack
lol but for real its part of hip hop, even gangsta rap. . .
so i guess any kind of drug usage is part of hip hop, its who you wanna be, what you wanna do, you are free to be yourself and do what you want
i would never diss somebody who does drugs n shit, mostly becos i kno a lot of these ppl and they are really down kinda ppl.

i just really hate those obsessive ppl who are fucking adicts, thats some sad shit. . . i know far to many of them and they have some fucked up shit in their heads. They are like completely 2 faced all the time just tryina hook up more shit for themselves. . . i'm glad i dont associate with those types anymore. . .

and then u get the kids who think its "cool" to smoke weed and do crack and shit. . . those kids are fucked up plain and simple. I will fuck anybody up who think they some kind of icon cos they blaze it up, thats just plain posing.

JP how many people do you actually know in hiphop? The world is a big place.

Idk I don't think there is any harm in having a few smokes but it depends how much you smoke. You can get lathargic.

By heyy I'm not an expert on the matter

[Desi Boogie]

Lol, yes JP, BustaRhymes is hip hop. As anyone who knows a bit about the culture will tell you, Busta was first part of an afrocentric group called the Leaders of the New School and made an appearance on a song by ATCQ early on.

I don't really see why he wouldn't be hip hop, but whatever kid, you really do seem to have no clue.

I'm pretty sure both Born and Casper smoke up, at least occasionally and look at the nasty ass battles they've brought to our attention. Wow, two top bboys from top crews, smoking weed and still being nasty and raw. What a surprise cause according to JP all the best bboys he knows stay away from it. How could this possibly be?

Peace

[AK47]

There's nothing wrong with gangsta rap.

[Rade777]

im pretty sure born doesnt smoke weed, casper...possibly, but koreans haha they stick to cigarettes, idk if born smokes at all, but koreans are madd trendy. people walk up to malls just to smoke outside and have people look at how "cool" they are. and most likely korean bboys realize that w/ hiphop culture on their side, they dont need to smoke to be fly. watch me be wrong *^___^*

[MaDD]

Damn this is a dumb discussion.

To the original poster, if you don't want to do it then don't.
You don't have to do shit cuz your friends do, use your own mind and make your own choices just make sure you are informed properly first. MJ use is polluted with tons of propaganda and bullshit on both sides so use a little intellect and initiative and find your own answers on your own terms.

I'm not they type to seek out ganja but if it finds me I'm fine to partake. I know damn well it's not going to kill me, it can make you more creative simply for the reason that you will think in different ways than you normally do, it will help you relax to which can be beneficial, but really it's not something I need nor do I need to use it as a reward mechanism for myself like some people do. I straight up don't care about it, it's fun sometimes but for the most part I'm just indifferent, same goes for alcohol, sure it's fun but only at the right time. Otherwise who cares?

That's all the input I've got for you Captain Planet. Keep your 'healthy body' remember to get as many X-Rays as possible and die of cancer, or eat as much hydrogenated corn syrup as you can and get fat, enlist in the army and go pick up some depleted uranium shells in Iraq, totally safe to kill you. Or get smart and find out on your own where the real dangers to your body are and don't believe shit just because demented and misinformed conservatives put it on your public service announcement on television.

Peace~
