Apparently, Purple Drank is right up there with “lead poisoning” for killing rappers, especially when boosted with alcohol. References to it abound in rap music.

Trayvon’s Facebook posts indicate he was actively seeking other ingredients to make a batch of lean, namely Promethazine with Codeine VC, “Sizzurp” (slang for this type cough syrup, also used for Purple Drank and variants.)

Rapper Lil’ Wayne rather graphically described how addictive it is on MTV. “It ain’t that easy - feels like death in your stomach when you stop doing that sh*t. You gotta learn how to stop, you gotta go through detox. You gotta do all kinds of stuff.”

I don't think I could gag down a tablespoon. I also hate codeine. Why anyone would risk death drinking this vile concoction is beyond me.

The entire "rap culture" is completely foreign to me, and how it has lasted so long is a mystery.
