In a recent track titled U.O.E.N.O Rapper Rick Ross had some controversial lyrics that got him into a little bit of trouble. Here are the exact lyrics that made the rapper lose his endorsement deal with shoe company Reebok."Put Molly all in her Champagne/
She ain't even know it/
I took her home and I enjoyed
that/ She ain't even know it,"
Now for those of you who don't know what Molly is, let me fill you in.
"Molly is a party drug that is a derivative of Ecstasy, which has fueled dance parties for decades. It appeared on the dance-music and hip-hop scenes around early 2011 ׀ billed as pure MDMA, the amphetamine that is the prime ingredient of Ecstasy. It comes as crystals or as a white powder inside a capsule and can cause high blood pressure, a rapid heart rate, possible brain injury and even heart attacks."

As I've mentioned in many posts, date rape drugs are serious and they are out there! The rage that's been popularized for the past couple of years is the drug "Molly". As an avid Hip Hop listener I listen to the music regularly. I listen to the music for entertainment purposes but I can only speak for myself. The rappers that speak about these drugs in their songs are going to college campuses on tour and that is where the problem begins. 
of his lyrics.
The fear is that children will begin to take these drugs and harm themselves. I honestly believe that the older crowd needs to stop making their drug use public. The music industry is entertainment therefore people shouldn't take things so seriously.
Let's just hope college students drown in their headphones listening to their favorite genre of music and not act on what they listen to.
Catch you next time,
