Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik & Amerikanistik), course: Drug Cultures, language: English, abstract: Drugs have been a part of virtually every society that ever existed and I guess it is safe to say that that will continue to be the case in the future. But societies relationship with drugs has also always be a complicated one. While attitudes towards certain drugs have shifted over time, in post-industrial societies drug use became a mass phenomena – and with it addiction. Since then, cultural references to the effects of drugs have been plentiful and seem to have grown more frequent as well as more explicit over time, especially in popular music. While these references had been limited to metaphorical allusions during the 1960s and 70s, modern music listeners will hardly be surprised to hear mentions of drugs in popular songs that play on the radio or to see a wide variety of soft and hard drugs in music videos of almost every genre (cf. Primack 2008). Many politicians, critics and anti-drug advocates blamed this escalation on the emergence of rap music. Past analyses mostly focused on quantitative surveys of drug references in popular music, or tried to answer the question to which extent listener's musical preferences influence their relationship with drugs. Rather than gathering even more quantitative information, this paper will explore how legal and illegal drugs are depicted in rap music. It will utilize a broad definition of rap music – regardless of sub-genres – in order to examine drug references from early rap recorded in the 1980s up to the present day. It will argue that – although based in reality – popular criticism is due to misinterpretations which distort rap and hip hop culture's representation. Furthermore, they hinder our chances as a society to improve how we deal with drugs and addiction as well as to find a healthy way of approaching them. As it will show, in addition to rappers encouraging drug use, they also effectively lay bare the impact drugs have on themselves, their friends, their families, and their communities.

Inaugurated in 1984, America's "War on Drugs" is just the most recent skirmish in a standoff between global drug trafficking and state power. From Britain's nineteenth-century Opium Wars in China to the activities of Colombia's drug cartels and their suppression by U.S.-backed military forces today, conflicts over narcotics have justified imperial expansion, global capitalism, and state violence, even as they have also fueled the movement of goods and labor around the world. In Drug Wars, cultural critic Curtis Marez examines two hundred years of writings, graphic works, films, and music that both demonize and celebrate the commerce in cocaine, marijuana, and opium, providing a bold interdisciplinary exploration of drugs in the popular imagination. Ranging from the writings of Sigmund Freud to pro-drug lord Mexican popular music, gangsta rap, and Brian De Palma's 1983 epic Scarface, Drug Wars moves from the representations and realities of the Opium Wars to the long history of drug and immigration enforcement on the U.S.-Mexican border, and to cocaine use and interdiction in South America, Middle Europe, and among American Indians. Throughout Marez juxtaposes official drug policy and propaganda with subversive images that challenge and sometimes even taunt government and legal efforts. As Marez shows, despite the state's best efforts to use the media to obscure the hypocrisies and failures of its drug policies-be they lurid descriptions of Chinese opium dens in the English popular press or Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign-marginalized groups have consistently opposed the expansion of state power that drug traffic has historically supported. Curtis Marez is assistant professorof critical studies at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television.
