Rick Ross, You Assh*#e! Middle School Kids Overdose on “Triple C’s!”
So a couple of weeks back I was reading Byron Crawford’s blog and I found out that the name of Rick Ross’ group Triple C’s is actually the nickname for over the counter cough medicine. Apparently, Triple C’s stands for Coricidan Cough and Cold, and is similar to over the counter drug that killed legendary Southern rapper Pimp C. Some people have called it ghetto ecstasy.
Of course, Rick Ross and his group aren’t the only ones that have promoted the use of “triple c’s. Several Southern rappers, including Lil’ Wayne are known to be addicted to the stuff. But I guess Ross’ music must be extremely influential on the young minds of his hometown, because yesterday three middle schools kids from Miami overdosed on the cough medicine.
A 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl were taken to Memorial Hospital Pembroke, and another 13-year-old boy was taken to Memorial Hospital West, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office. A fourth student, a 14-year-old girl, was released to her parents, officials said. Their names were not released.
The students were first treated at the school’s clinic before rescuers arrived about 2 p.m.
They had each taken between eight and 12 cough supressant pills, though it was unclear if they gulped them down before school or during classes, said Mike Jachles, a Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman. (via here)
Yes, I know that you can’t only blame Ross for these kids’ stupidity, because their parents should have their butts whooopppeed for letting them get access to this nonsense!! But man, this sure does hit close to home. You can’t tell me that these young folks weren’t influenced by their hometown rapper. Maybe it’s about time that entertainers take responsibility for their actions and stop being so nonchalant about the power of their words.
this is really funny,because i i dont understand how these kids overdosed..i weigh 96 and i’ve taken triple cs many times..and a lot more than what they took.honestly,i love them.they make my world go crazyy.but you should be aware of them and not take them so often because they might just turn you into a retardd.gucci!
