The way he started swaying side to side. The memory of those days resonated w/ him. It’s true that it’s an everyday battle. He’s not out of the woods yet. Praying for his strength to keep going & stay clean🏴🏴
@@Haileyflower-b3lgood job but remember it's not worth it. That one time you do it again, could start another cycle. Sober is the way to go. If you have to, drink a little liquor and smoke green!
Glad Young Dro is in a better place mentally, that is the most important thing. There is nothing the mind and body cannot overcome. As difficult as they are we NEED to encourage people to have these conversations. It is what it is.
You have to sit down with your brain and learn how to manage it. That means riding out the bad that runs through your mind sometimes. The sad, anxiety, fear, worry, stress, sitting down with your brain is riding out those bad times cold turkey. Thinking your way out of them in a relaxed quiet environment, telling yourself everything gonna be cool. Breath deep. Relax. Calm thoughts. You gotta become your own medication. ✌️
I'm so glad I never got into drugs like many. The long term effects really do affect you bad, I'm just glad a lot of them recovered from their pain. Just sucks how bad it can get.
No disrespect, but new school hip-hop music (such as it is) is being generated by addicts. This, in my opinion, is one of the principal reasons why we are seeing such a drop in the overall quality of the content.
Ppl really don’t knw how this shit feel when u havin money and havin addictions then bein able to hide them all n still be clean especially as a black man it’s different it hit different
All I think about is Shawty Lo dissing Dro and calling him a "J" and how he used to be in the dope spot getting high with Fabo.. This was during the Tip and Shawty Lo beef.
Bro, for some reason i feel like maybe it's not a good thing to invite a former addict and keep making him think about drugs... it seem like every upload from this interview veers back to addiction talk
For that reason, I can’t believe Drink Champs drinks for hours in front of sober guests on their show. I still wonder if it affected DMX. That said, for newly sober people in the limelight, I feel like it’s an important topic to discuss if they’re up for it (at least during the first tour of interviews) to let other addicts know it’s possible to turn their lives around. Agreed it’s not good subject to return to time and time again in the long term though
It depends on how the other person is talking to them about it. I think its good to vent about it at first. But after a while you have to stop thinking about it or you will start craving it again.
@@SmurffNationn Yeah even though DMX said a lot of great things during the drink champs interview I also felt like it was not a good look consindering he just passed months later. The difference is tho that they were drinking heavy. I know his main problem was crack and cocaine but alcohol makes you lose your inhibition and starts craving other drugs as well, so who knows. Lamar Odom also had a bad experience on drink champs. But I think its a difference between doing a normal interview compared to a drink champs interview for a recovering addict obviously. Now some people are strong enough to mentally to handle it like Royce Da 5'9, Joe Budden, Mc Serch but for most it would be very hard.
Molly and lean doesn’t even make sense at all. It be’s like dat sumtimes tho. Just trying keep any high going. Shout out Dro man. His interviews and music been 100 from the jump. Glad u getting right P.
Everyone saying fentanyl this, fent that, hes lucky to be alive etc....The only reason people OD on fent is because they've never done opioids before. This is not a good thing now matter what. If YD got fent in any of his pills or blow or lean it wouldn't matter because he already has a tolerance built up through percs. Junkies OD because they do way too much or their body shuts done. Little John Smith OD's on fent because he's never done opioids and had no idea it was in his blow.
So basically he spent Mad Money on drugs. Smh so sad 😞 I'm glad he kicked that drug habit and I hope he still has a little money left over from his rap career.
He couldnt take molly everyday that would be nearly impossible. But I definitely believe he was still taking xans and opiates on the other days the withdrawals would been too terrible for him not to. I guess he still not ready to admit that since his "days off" he was probably not taking recreational doses but just enough to not start withdrawaling.
That’s excessive for No fuckin reason, Xans Molly n lean mixed??? Do you know how Molly feels by itself ??? For me a .5 is overwhelming and I’m high Tolerance
I commend Dro for being so outspoken about his struggle🥹
Frfr
As a real Dro fan, I knew he was doing his thing, but I had no idea it was on this level! Glad he ok! 💪💰💯
he is lucky 2 still be here : suprised he never overdosed : glad 2 see dro drug free now : stay strong bro
@tbaetv5966 yep...

No shit I’m clean right now and have been for a long time but I’m still fighting not to get high every fucking day
@@Haileyflower-b3l proud of you bro fr🏴🏴
💪🏾

Bingo

Man...I'm glad Dro still here. One of my favorite artists. RIP BIG SCAR. 🥶

Man, the body language. He’s still in a lot of pain about it. But still willing to share because it’ll help other people. Best wishes to him, man
Yea I think he reflecting also on how much opportunities he missed up doing drugs
I'm so glad I never got into drugs like many. The long term effects really do affect you bad, I'm just glad a lot of them recovered from their pain. Just sucks how bad it can get.
I hope you prevail against your addiction Dro 🙏🏾

A grand hustle team of kingssss getting richhhh 🇬🇧
Addiction is no joke. Glad he beat it.
Bruh that mix is wild
Not really regular street nigga shit
Not rlly I can see if he was on yerks & sticks at da same time, but molly & drank not that crazy
Bro blessed to be alive mixing uppers & downers like that 😢
Facts
Dude is lucky to be alive. Today the way Fentanyl is floating around he wouldn’t be here doing that today.
Before fentanyl you could get high and survive
You beat me to this comment!
He got clean just in time.
@@Comedyhacks Fentanyl must be God's message for people to sober up.
molly and lean mix is such a fire combo too.

Damn, my boy was on uppers, downers, and in betweeners
Thanks for sharing your story and fighting for your life to tell it. ❤
Him rocking back and forth shows the effects he has the Bobby brown mouth going on to I hope he isn't a addict anymore
Buddy make my drug days seem like some boy scout shit lol
I get what he saying 100 percent. When you in that party club lifestyle it don’t feel like you doing anything bad because you really having fun
Good Job getting sober Dro👏🏽👏🏽
Ppl really don’t knw how this shit feel when u havin money and havin addictions then bein able to hide them all n still be clean especially as a black man it’s different it hit different
When Prez said “damn” I bust out laughing. I’m sorry. 😂 it was so quick and I just thought about Kevin Hart and Don Cheadle.
All I think about is Shawty Lo dissing Dro and calling him a "J" and how he used to be in the dope spot getting high with Fabo..
This was during the Tip and Shawty Lo beef.
Stay strong. You don’t need those drugs
So when are we going to get to the "Spoodie" part???
Salute to dro
Hell he'd literally amittied "Don't nobody live with my mom but a bunch of junkies..." in 06 😂, Dro will always be one of my favorite rappers.
😂😂 dro was high as a kite
U know the banana pudding question coming up 😂

You must have never heard of AA or NA
I remember dem days back den u could do drugs n not worry bout somebody giving u fake shit dem was da days
Damn dro
True dope head🎉
this not the space for your type
Ok whitey
it takes 1 to know 1 😜😋😜😋
Well that’ll make ya shoulder lean
🥁
😂😅
Damn I Wish I Was His Connect Back Then
Drop a tape dro!
This is common if u been thru it u know this is jus another day at the office
Young Dro - Boot Up
Dang, he was feened out for real.
First of all, “Addicts always feel like getting high”!
Why soon as he started listing the drugs he did the Ray Charles rock back 😂
From what I’ve heard, Those MDMA days were tough
All that is so hard on the body dawg it will catch up
Write your book D’Juan
Whew, that Zanny life ain’t nothin to play wit.
Rip Rich Homie
Molly and lean doesn’t even make sense at all. It be’s like dat sumtimes tho. Just trying keep any high going. Shout out Dro man. His interviews and music been 100 from the jump. Glad u getting right P.
True Head
Sounds like me back in the day. Molly and lean but no zans
I love Molly hardest four years of my life
When most rappers say they went from ecstasy to Molly they really mean meth
He didn't mention HyDroponic's once
Apparently we had the same addictions
Why is lean so damn expensive in the USA? In my country it's a over the counter medicine and it's 7,99€ a pint
In mine it's like $3
Uppers and downers together?!? Whew!
“i take molly to keep me up, i take xannies to bring me down”-lil uzi vert
Good thing he got off of all that before fentanyl got big
U ain't never lied 😅
Not cool
Not good for his sobriety to continuously talk about his addiction
He talking about when perks and zans and lean was. Cheap cheap
Dope Fiend shit smh..
Man i thought that was booker T

Mane said everything but weed
His girl being a pharmacist didn't help either
Mannnn, just give me a blunt/leaf/spliff of some good. All dat other sh** be so unnecessary 🤦🏾♂️ Lean, different pills, molly like WTF 😳
I'll do the molly" THEN MIX IT WITH THE LEANN
He could do a hook off of that some years ago
Xanax, Molly, AND lean?
Chasin death bro. He lucky to be alive. That sht was stupid af
Real drug addicts don't take days off lol. This dude cappin
May not be intentional.... Them come down//next day sleeping be lasting all day sometimes lol
He couldnt take molly everyday that would be nearly impossible. But I definitely believe he was still taking xans and opiates on the other days the withdrawals would been too terrible for him not to. I guess he still not ready to admit that since his "days off" he was probably not taking recreational doses but just enough to not start withdrawaling.
shut up square
He’s cappin about his days off to seem less crazy
This man funny ash folk
That’s excessive for No fuckin reason, Xans Molly n lean mixed??? Do you know how Molly feels by itself ??? For me a .5 is overwhelming and I’m high Tolerance
Oh my goodness, he was playing with death. SMH
Biggest disappointment from Atlanta
Shi jit ahh was tweaking
worst sidekick rapper: Young Dro or Tony Yayo?
Yayo, unfortunately lol. C'mon man, what u doin? Lol
You have to be rich💰 to do lean.
no you dont it really cost $30 but rappers just pay the price if they aint got a real real connect
Dro started shaking and rocking when he starts talking about the drugs, he seems like he's gonna grab some asap
I call a bit of cap $1200 worth of lean back in the day was way to much to sip n 2 days n percs n xans were cheaper too
Xans was a 1.50
Bro shut up why would he lie ? Lmao
And honestly the lean you was sipping probably was cheaper because it was Karo. You small time
@@mikee3261 act was $30 a line
Recipe for disaster
This is absolute Junkie shit.
First vlad pay up!!!
im glad im to pussy to do these other drugs. cannabis and alcohol is enough for me lol
Black culture.
1st
I feel like he’s saying those particular drugs because they are popular now
He looks like a 14-year-old pensioner.
