In today’s world things are a little different as youngsters and others simply just dont drink “Big Gulps” any more from 7-Eleven. In fact, some in certain circles are sipping on what is known as “sizzurp”. According to Chris Lee;

The powerful narcotic popped up on the cultural grid around the turn of the millennium. A Texas producer-remixer named DJ Screw paid homage to its woozy, heavy-lidded high by dramatically slowing down beats and vocals to replicate the drug’s sleepwalker euphoria.

Among Southern rappers, the chemical mixture — called “sizzurp” on the street — soon became as ubiquitous as gold jewelry.

This wasn’t some exotic new hallucinogen. In fact, it was usually mixed with fruit soda and sipped from oversized plastic foam cups. A cough syrup, fortified with codeine and promethazine and bought with a prescription, it was highly addictive — and technically legal.

This recently raised speculation by some that that rapper Lil Wayne possible was sipping a little too much sizzurp as he has recently suffered health problems. Wayne was hospitalized this last Tuesday for erratic seizures.
