I’m not sure of who originated the phrase “weed carrier”, but it pops up a lot over at The Mindset of a Champion<\/a>, so I guess I’ll credit Bol<\/strong> and Combat Jack<\/strong> with the term.<\/strike> It can be used in a number of ways, but the most appropriate is when it’s used in reference to when a successful rap group gets their (usually far less talented) friends a deal. Think Junior Mafia<\/strong>, D-12<\/strong> or Funkdoobiest<\/strong>. These guys are classic examples of weed carriers. When you really think about it, almost half of the rap CD’s on the market are made by current or former weed carriers. It should be noted that not all weed carriers go onto to make records. Some, like the guy who got shot in the leg while carrying for The Gayme<\/strong>, just have to be in the right place at the wrong time in order to make headlines. Regardless of the situation, A Salute To Weed Carriers<\/strong> promisies to bring you the “real talk” on these folks.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: <\/p>\n

More information has developed regarding the origin of the term “weed carrier”:<\/p>\n

Bol<\/a>: “Actually, I’m not really sure who invented the phrase “weed carrier” either, but I’ll accept credit for introducing it to the world of hip-hop. I first started hearing it back in the day, probably from guys like Fitz and The Station, in reference to the basketball player Allen Iverson’s entourage, who would sometimes get arrested for carrying his weed.”<\/p>\n

Fitz<\/a>: “I’m so proud to admit that I am, indeed, the inventor of “Weed Carrier”. It’s actually a reference to Damon Stoudemire, who had something like 3 weed arrests while employing about 12 dudes to be his entourage. <\/p>\n

It’s a true honor to have invented a term that seems to be gaining importance.”\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
