It is crazy to think that was 25 years ago. I was bouncing at a night club (a rap/hip-hop one at that) on the Richmond strip in Houston and they had C-Note and RP Cola (Too Much Lean In My Cup) performing that night. I was running backstage/VIP that night which we transitioned the second floor to for the evening and just so much shit went on that night but it was a fun night...at one point my manager has a few buckets of ice delivered for me to give to RP - he places about six 2-liters of Sprite in them.
I had taken some X and was thirsty as hell so I ask RP for a glass of Sprite. He's like "sure man but this ain't jus' Sprite!" That shit had purple codeine and promethazine syrup in it lmfao We always took Vivarin and ephedrine/ephedra (Ripped Fuel capsules, usually which one of my co-workers kept a jug of in his duffel bag)to keep us alert and going as we dealt with a lot of shit at this club so here I am on X and wired to the gills on all of that and now drinking lean.
During his set, he has the buckets with the 2-liters brought on-stage and as he goes into Too Much Lean In My Cup, this dude offers anyone to come up onstage and get a big styrofoam cup of this shit...women were going up there and had no idea what they were drinking, I'm just watching from upstairs shaking my head in disbelief...Of course at midnight the DJ played 1999...kind of surreal looking back thinking that was over 25 years ago now. Great times.
