...particularly the reefer. i'm working on a mix for someone who may or may not have been involved in dope distribution. i'm particularly looking for stuff that hasn't come out all that recently and isn't about selling crack, but anything would be appreciated. i'll start with the track that sparked the idea,

curtis mayfield - i'm your pusherman

Warrior Soul - Charlies Out Of Prison

In Detroit, there's a man
He's in charge of the action
Put a gun, in your face
And he gets a reaction
Has a beeper, and a car
I was his driver
Runnin' drugs, across the country
I was the survivor
I'm innocent, of anything
I'm innocent, but he's comin'
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
In Detroit, they make guns
Lotsa cars, lotsa criminals
You get big, you get hard
But you don't get too successful
Small time world, small time racket
Push yourself to the brink
Just to sell another packet
I'm innocent, of anything
I'm innocent, but he's comin'
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Broken doors, broken windows
Broken reason, of my mind
Weakened by, desperation
The seduction of crime
Meaning of death, means nothing
When you need to survive
Caught believing, in life
A flash in eternal time
Yeah yeah
Charlie's out of prison

i can think of a lot more about buying drugs. i guess it's because i'm more familiar with indie rock than gangsta rap. it's the white suburban types that do more of the buying than the pushing i suppose.

Didn't Humble Pie have some song about smoking a rope that just happened to be made out of hemp?

Dopeman by N.W.A.

Verse One: Ice Cube

It was once said by a man who couldn't quit
Dope man please can I have another hit
The dope man said cluck I don't give a shit
If your girl kneels down and sucks my dick
It all happened and the guy tried to choke her
Nigga livin in cash selling to smokers
That's the way goes that's the name of the game
Young brotha gettin over by slangin cane
Gold around his neck 14 k he has it
Bitches on his dick 24-7 plus he's makin
Money keepin tha base heads waiting
Rollin 6.4. wit tha fresh ass daytons
Livin in Compton, Cailfona CA
His uzi up yo ass if he don't get paid
Nigga begging for credit he's knockin out teeth
Clockin much dollars on tha 1st and 15th
Big wad of money nuttin less than a twenty
Yo you want a five-oh the dope man gots plenty
To be a dope man boy you must qualify
Don't get high off your own supply
From a kid to a G it's all about money
10 peace base pipe comes free
If people out there are not hip 2 tha fact
If you see some one gettin money 4 crack he's
tha.......

Chorus:

dope man dope man
hey man give me a hit
dope man dope man
hey yo fuck that shit
dope man dope man
we just can't quit
dope man dope man
well suck this bitch

Verse Two: Ice Cube

(dr dre)

wait a minute who tha fuck are you talkin 2 do u know who i am
i can't believe this this bitch iz tryin 2 gank me
i'll slap you up side yo head wit 9 inches of limp dick

[Ice Cube]

you need a nigga wit money so u get a dope man
juice that fool 4 has much as u can
she likes his car and he gets wit her
got a black eye cuz tha dope man hit her
let that slide and u pay it no mind
find he's slapping u all tha time
that's ok cuz he'z rich and u ain't
nuttin but tha dope man'z bitch do what he say and
u keep yo mouth shut popin that trash
might get you fucked up you'll sit and cry
if tha dope man strikes you he don't give a fuck
he gots 2 just like you
There's a another girl in tha dopeman's life
Not quite a bitch but far from a wife
shes called strawberry and everybody know
strawberry strawberry iz tha neighborhood hoe
do any thing for a hit are 2 give tha bitch a rock
and she will fuck your hole damn crew
it might be yo wife and it might make u sick
come home and see her mouth on tha dopeman's dick
strawberry just look around you'll see her
But don't fuck around she'll give you gonnorhea
if people out there ain't hip to the fact
strawberry iz a girl selling pussy 4 crack

chorus

dope man dope man
hey man give me a hit
dope man dope man
hey yo man fuck that shit
dope man dope man
in yo face
hey yo dre bring in tha bass

Eazy E (as mexican guy):

hey mr dope man you think

Handshake Drugs--Wilco

Quote:

I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you

Saxophones started blowing me down
I was buried in sound
Taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
I felt alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night

Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be, exactly
What you want me to be

Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what you want me to be

Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you

Saxophones started blowin' me down
I was buried in sound
The taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?

Felt like a clown
They were translating poorly
I looked like someone
I used to know
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night

Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?

The Steppenwolf one is one of the great classic rock songs, I think.

also Curtis Mayfield "Freddie's Dead"

Wellllll.... I got a friend who's a man (who’s a man)
What man?
The man who keeps me from the lonely, the only
He gives me what I need
What you need?
I need it all oh so badly

Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
Hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
