sKitz Kraven & Vlad Discuss Rappers Transitioning from Dealers to Users (Part 2)

Part 1: • sKitz Kraven on Mental...
----------
In this clip, sKitz Kraven recounted his worst times while addicted to heroin and what eventually made him move to Los Angeles. sKitz also discussed recording his first project in LA and why he believes he's the one to take "horrorcore" to the mainstream.
Later, sKitz and Vlad opine on what caused the transition in hip-hop from being heavily drug-dealer influenced to now a drug-user dominated soundscape.

You are definitely bringing it back and keeping it alive.out of all the new horror core you are the goat my friend

Im not a kid im a old guy but dude you have still really affected my life thank you thank 🙏

[@1sloshie]

Its the progression of drugs theres gonna be more and more users as time goes on the user is always going to out number the dealer

[@DigitalV4]

Facts

[@chrishett99]

Addiction is progressive. It gets worse even without use (unless one does internal work). There is no cure, but it can be arrested on a daily basis. It's a family disease (not necessarily genetically) because it affects everyone. Finally, it can be fatal. I thank God everyday for my sobriety, because with it comes sanity and stability. I wish anyone whose struggling had the strength to reach out, and accept help when available.

[@user-ik5ze1sh7i]

@@chrishett99 sure but we should also acknowledge that the majority of drug users do not have a problem, and the argument could be made that some people operate better in life with there drug of choice

[@228allday]

By the way B.G., Soulja Slim, Playa Fly, and Three Six Mafia made songs dedicated to thier specific choice or choices of drugs they liked to personal indulge in. Doogie aka B.G. was shooting up that Dog food when he was 15, Juvenile had a song called Powda Bag that came out in the 90s of his original first debut album it was before he got with the Hot Boys but Slim was fucking with that furl and the snow so he made remixed the song and was talking about snorting up smack but the way the lyrics are loosely written you would think he was talking about coke but it wasn't lol, Playa Fly always rapped about snorting coke on his songs matter of fact look up I need the funk and Three Six Mafia rapped about damn near ever every drug because they was consuming Xanax and syrup in the 90s(P.S. Playa Fly arguably one of the best rappers ever in South when it came down to spitting lyrics and a musician. Unfortunately he had a falling out with 36 Mafia and DJ Paul was notorious for influencing radio stations to not play certain artisrts music that he had problems aka on slick hating shit but Fly going to prison in early 2000s really slowed down his music career he still out here making moves tho shout out to the King of Funky Town Mr.IBN)

It's not a specific genre of horrorcore if it's, "you." At that point it's just "you." Same with three 6 mafia

[@starlitsky4751]

I absolutely love Skitz, I think it is fucking awesomeness that he is always honest about his struggles in life. I can relate to ALOT of what he has been through. I have mad respect for him as well, to pull yourself out of hell is an amazing accomplishment. I wish NOTHING but the best that life has to offer, and send good vibes to this man. Also I have always been scared to try heroin, I know myself, and I have an addictive personality and would be dead soon after just trying it. That said I know alot of people who have died from using, and i am so happy that he was able to save himself, because without his music I probably would be in prison, or atleast a mental hospital. Anyhow LOVE YOU SKITZ KRAVEN!! Stay True, Stay You, Stay Awesome!!!

The tittle is bs like always, music and drugs go together, we can not remove the financial benefits that come from the image of the drug user in the current model of music, from why they choose that image, we know why because people have been programmed to like certain music and that music and lifestyle makes you money, you think dudes early in hip hop were not using drugs? Or abusing them ? Wake up son

Surprises me that he doesn’t listen to horrorcore. I can see not listening to ICP and Psychopathic since they’re overtly comedic, but I figured sKitz would be a fan of darker, more serious shit like Brotha Lynch and Tech N9ne.

[@jaspermeade1419]

I wanted to mention Brotha Lynch Hung.. had to go through and see if anyone else did first... good shit! "So what's daddy bringin' home for supoer‽,,"

[@Jabronie0]

Brotha Lynch can get a bit repetitive with his dark themes "ERRR I'M A CANNIBAL CUT'EM UP EAT'EM UP" Horrocore doesn't create that serious tense feeling of dread like a good horror movie can unless the rapper is a good story teller. Otherwise it's just a rap song with gory/morbid bars. I listen do death metal for my dark disturbing musical content
