How come, unlike in "rock", heroin is rarely mentioned in hiphop ?

that said, i think there's more mention of alcohol in hiphop/rnb than in rock these days.

Ecstasy wasn't popular in places outside of raves until the late '90s. And Missy was singing about it by then.

but why not? this has probably been explored before but i don't recall a satisfactory explanation to hand.

Why doesn't Fitty want to feel happy sensations when people touch his nose?

actually what substances do "rockers" talk about nowadays !? thinking about the most famous english and american bands of the last years, i don't see any (but i'm not too familiar with their lyrics...).
hiphop/rnb would be various alcohols (champagnes, cognacs...), weed, Es, coke, crack...

All rock musicians today are already too drunk on themselves.

Rockers are just now discovering Gin and Juice.

The Godfather of Soul has a GREAT anti-heroin track "King Heroin". Its a rap, too. No real singing. Could this be the proto-horse rap?
