After being featured in an editorial in The Huffington Post about rappers and drug use, Southern rapper Trinidad James had a few things to say. He was recently interviewed by XXL Magazine, where he explained how he felt about drugs and the influence rap music has on using. Being that Trinidad James’ first single, “All Gold Everything,” really fired up the current Molly epidemic, he was a perfect person to speak to about this topic. (You know, “Popped A Molly, I’m Sweatin..WOOO!) Yeah, that one. Click the jump to hear what Trinidad James had to say to XXL about people who die from drugs, his involvement with narcotics, and more!
According to Trinidad during his XXL Magazine interview, he seems to have an interesting take on the drug scene. Check out what he had to say below.
“I’m my own man, and I have my own reasons for why I do anything. But I respect where A-Trak is coming from, because when someone like him starts that conversation, it’s going to influence somebody. I have a strong mind, but people are going to read his thoughts, and hopefully his message reaches a kid or an adult who doesn’t have a strong mind so they won’t even waste their time with drugs because if they do they’ll end up being an addict and dying. I feel like people who die from drugs are just weak-minded. I try to put a positive energy out in the world, but my music is still real and it has its ratchet moments. But at the end of the day, it’s about how you take it. You can’t blame Trinidad for nothing. Nothing”
Do you think Trinidad James has anything to do with everyone “popping mollies” recently?
