Because Lindsay Lohan has taught the world that being on probation in LA means absolutely cockshit, T.I. and his new wife managed to get themselves busted last night after cops smelled marijuana wafting out of their car on Sunset Blvd. They both were slapped with felony drug possession with initial reports suggesting they were holding meth or ecstasy. Turns out it’s way more redonkulous than that. They were messed up on Sizzurp, yo! My honky ass has no clue. TMZ reports:
There seems to be evidence of Sizzurp … aka purple drank … aka codeine syrup.
– A form of codeine falls under the class of drugs for which T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were arrested.
– Codeine is the main ingredient in Sizzurp, which is a growing problem in the South.
– Sizzurp is typically ingested in styrofoam cups … it’s become a “thing” in the hip-hop community.
If I was about to get to very publicly arrested for drinking purple cough syrup, I’m pretty sure I’d make a move for the officer’s gun and pray to God he shoots me first. Sizzurp? Seriously? This is a real fucking thing? Was meth not embarrassing and ghetto enough for the South? “Y’all, we need something that really makes our drug addiction look more pathetic than violent. Wait, I done got it. Cough syrup over ice. A ring ting diddly doo!”
I’m joking, of course. T.I. was caught in LA, so it’s really just a matter of time until they’re done bronzing his medal. Within the hour most likely.

Sizzurp has been thrown around the hip hop community for more than a decade. Welcome to 1995
dudeatdudedotdude | September 2, 2010 at 11:03 am
no shit arent there a dozen songs about it
Scott | September 2, 2010 at 11:37 am
I guess we expect everyone to be an expert on very occasional drug references in hip hop right? And geez what great music to be talking about this in a song.

SMB | September 2, 2010 at 11:13 am
I betcha if it was a hit song by Lynyrd Skynyrd your cracka ass would know it. Racist.
Scott | September 2, 2010 at 11:27 am
SMB he said the “south” – since when is the south a race? And I wouldn’t brag about a form of music that talks about Sizzurp. Also did you know saying cracka and Lynyrd Skynyrd is racist? Good job asshole. Way to be exactly what you say you don’t like.
Tragic1 | September 2, 2010 at 11:47 am
+1 for Scott
SMB I don’t want you to ACTUALLY fall on your ass, so you can insert foot in mouth after you sit the fuck down.
SMB | September 2, 2010 at 11:48 am
*sigh* ok, try to follow me…he’s racist because he’s woefully unaware of a hip-hop song that was a pretty big hit, which introduced the term “sizzurp” to the mainstream, and, as you may have noticed; hip-hop is a predominantly black music genre…therefore your “since when is the south a race” comment is kinda moronic…oh, and; saying cracka + lynrd skynrd in the same sentence = racist …? …really? wow…you sure nailed me with that logic, sarah palin. *lol* …idiot. (PS: when did i “say” anything about what i like or don’t like, you merely inferred…maybe some of my best friends are racist crackas, did you think of that? no, you did’nt, so there *nyah*)

SMB- Cut the ‘fro and stop trying to be Aaron McGruder.
snarkyscreenname | September 2, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Here we go again: Yep, piper is right. Everyone has an opinion based on what they don’t know or understand and that lends itself to some degree of racism (or racial profiling, if you prefer something a little less shock inducing).
Further more, how the fucking holy hell does Lynard Skynard – racism? Seriously, that makes zero fucking sense SMB.
And ‘Sippin on Sizzurp’ was not a fairly big hit and didn’t really introduce “sizzurp” to the mainstream. It was a popular underground hit while 3Six Mafia was still selling the records themselves in parking lots and illegally sampling other people’s beats and tracks.
Regardless of your race or location, its likely that most people who weren’t listening to hardcore or gansta rap in the 90s have likely still not heard of “sizzurp”. Since that type of music doesn’t’ really exist anymore, people probably will only hear of “sizzurp” when some idiot multi-millionaire can’t just stop being motherfucking ghetto and getting his ass in trouble.
AND, because I can read Fish’s astonished sarcasm, I bet HE HAS heard that stupid, repetitive track and probably STILL didn’t know what the fuck “sizzurp” was because, seriously? WHO THE HELL drinks cough syrup to get stoned. That’s kinda lame. Can’t T.I. afford good coke or something. Or lets get racist, probably not because that’s a white people’s drug. Have him call Lindsay, she can hook him up.

Mike Hawk | September 2, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Hey “Here Comes Mongo”…
First of all…
I didnt see you address BLATANT & OBVIOUS racist comment from someone either black or acting like they were black in the original comment that mine was a response to
Secondly…
You seem to be applying “racist” stereotypes to my comment by assuming I meant that towards someone black. Appears you have stereotypical views on blacks like others here.
Thirdly…
David Duke is a democrat, and supports democrat policies and bills. The Tea Party has mixed party affiliation and, at last poll taking, was about 40% Rep, 30% Dem and 30% independent.
So, in your little attempt to save the world and call me out, you proved you harbor racist stereotypes, dont know anything about the people you purport me to be, have no idea about the tea party, its affiliation with modern day politics and parties and lack the innate ability to STFU when you dont know what your talking about.
Way to go Corky. Youre automatically nominated to play Chris Burkes part as “Corky” in the ” Life Goes On” movie based on the tv series.
Jen | September 2, 2010 at 1:36 pm
STFU w/ all this racist bullshit.
"Here Comes Mongo" | September 2, 2010 at 4:45 pm
[chuckling to self] …way to drink the koolade, jim jones …yes, let’s all pretend that “newports” is’nt racist code …and if i really gave a shit, i’d go copy & paste some contrary statistics that are’nt posted on a pro-tea-party website, but, meh, why bother…anyone who speaks in defense of a “former” klansman, well, you just insulted yourself way more than any comeback i could muster. (oh, and, next time, try not to be so obvious that you’re working so hard to come up with a witty comeback… “Corky in the Life Goes On movie based on the tv series” [chuckling again] …hands down, this HAS to win the “insult so lame i need to spell it all the way out” award …ok, run along now…glen beck’s nut-sack is’nt going to lick itself.
@ snarkyscreenname: i never said lynrd skynrd = racist (reading comprehension; look into it) …and i still say if you racist crackas were open to ALL of pop-culture and not just the classic rock & country western you hold so dear, you’d at least be aware of other stuff that’s going on, besides the virtues of sweet home alabama. (but, i admit, i am impressed by all the other points you made…see mike hawk, THAT’S how you make an intelligent argument…douche)
Scott | September 2, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Hey SMB – the word cracka is a racial slur all by itself genius!!! I wasn’t saying having it in a sentence with Lynyrd Skynrd made it racist. But making a generalization that white people listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd is just as racist as saying “all black people listen to hip hop” OK you fucking racist hypocrite!!??
SMB | September 2, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Oh, ok, I see. Then, that’s actually a good point. (Suggestion: work on your sentence structure so that your thoughts are expressed more clearly…retard…i’m kidding, i’m kidding, lighten up) I suppose I should probably tell you; I was actually just joking with my comment, fuckin’ around with The Superficial Writer. But, I absolutely LOVE how I totally hijacked the conversation, and all of the heated debate it has spawned! (And racists it has exposed, I’m looking at you, “Mike Hawk” aka; Duke Beck) I’m a fucking lightning rod of controversy! YAY!
Trish Metcalfe | September 2, 2010 at 5:01 pm

Are you the public defender for the superficial commenters? If so, Id like to talk to you about filing suit against white guilt riddled, pacifist, hybrid driving pieces of shit such as yourself that ooze liberal elitism (you feel the urge to step in and help those of color/different ethnicity/geolocation, as they are inferior to you) as if it were the puss from Paris’ herpes.

LegalizeMe | September 2, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Apparently you people have no clue how much codeine is in the purple version of the cough syrup. The red stuff has a little, the purple has a lot. Codeine in large amounts slows the heartbeat, breathing, and makes the world all around slower. It’s also out of your system within 48 hours which makes a popular alternative to weed.

I guess that’s what Sizzurp does to the brain…Sizzurp Goggles? That could be the next rap hit -

Actually all of you are idiots. Sizzurp (slang for syrup) has been around for decades. As in 5. My uncle used to sell it with 7-up as a teen to junkies. It’s just prescription Robitussin. Been around forever.
McFeely Smackup | September 2, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Actually you’re wrong, most of these retards don’t even drink prescription strength stuff, the VAST majority of the time they’re drinking over the counter stuff.
Cosmo | September 2, 2010 at 12:12 pm
“Sizzurp” is still not a goddamn word, I don’t care how many people have been saying it or for how long.
Brian | September 2, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Cosmo would prefer that we call it “codeine cough syrup mixed with a flavored beverage” whenever we refer to sizzurp.
P.S. The Lil Wayne documentary is one of the finest films of the past ten years, and there’s a big focus on his abuse of sizzurp.
"Here Comes Mongo" | September 2, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Um, Mr. Cosmo (if that is your real name), that’s precisely the definition of how something becomes a word. There was a time when “goddamn” was’nt a word, but, someone said it first, and more people kept saying it, until it became one, as you just proved. Another example; “Hater”….which is what you are.
Cosmo | September 2, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Okay… for future note, adding “izz” to words doesn’t make me sound like a jackass, but instead creates new words. Gizzood to knizzow.

splashsos | September 2, 2010 at 12:15 pm
@LACoolKid not defending this stupidity but it’s a prescription codeine cough syrup. I had some when I had pnuemonia and it will F**K you up. It actually helped me quit smokin cigs cuz I was so out of it I didn’t care lol But as a recreational drug it’s kinda ignorant. And it’s been around a llooonnnggg time. There’s alot of songs about it.

Deacon Jones | September 2, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Actually, Mexicans prefer paint, gold to be precise.
White people prefer meth, which makes crack seem like a cup of decaf.
Bob | September 2, 2010 at 1:20 pm
But meth lets you time travel (though only forward, and only by yourself) – all you get from gold paint is sparkle face.
joker22 | September 3, 2010 at 1:37 pm
No Mexicans used to huff paint. Stop watching Blood in blood out and American Me. That was at least 40 years ago. The late 60′s and then the 70′s. Get with it. Now since they control the whole dam drug trade that $1 can of paint is used to mark the area you stay out of.
Number one choice (beer) second (weed) third (PCP) then coke and meth.
As for T.I. and his new wife who cares purple couch medicine. WOW what a waste of our tax payer dollars. Now we have a high profile case. For codeine when some other jackass is dealing meth a block away. Maybe he needs rehab or to actually serve parole stay in the ATL

Seriously? Jeez. Codeine and Speed aren’t “classy drugs” ? Drugs are not classy or trailer trash shit they are drugs. Different people have different preferences you aren’t a high class druggie if your snorting coke and trailer trash if you’re snorting meth. Their are people from all social levels using all different substances. Give me a break ( Not saying it’s a good thing just stating a fact). They’re are also plenty of white people who’ve gotten high off “syrup”. If T.I. ends up in more trouble then all the little white female celebs who’ve been busted I’m thinking it’s gonna have a bit to do with him being a guy and not just ’cause he’s black. It seems like famous guys get into more trouble for this sort of thing then their female counterparts do….

Jeffrey | September 4, 2010 at 9:00 pm
TI was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and tablets which may or may not turn out to be ecstasy. This whole “sizzurp” thing is all speculation based upon a picture which showed some styrofoam cups in the car, as if the only thing a black person would possibly have in a styrofoam cup is sizzurp. TI and Tiny were arrested for FELONY drug possession. Cough preparations containing codeine are Schedule IV or V depending upon the amount of codeine. Possession of cough syrup which contains codeine is NOT felony drug possession. I bet they’re wishing it was just sizzurp they got arrested for.
And also, yeah the word “sizzurp” is nothing new. There was a song about it by Three 6 Mafia that was popular when I was in high school, which was at the end of the 90s, and even then the term wasn’t new.
