Everything Is Purple - After the release of a project titled Dirty Sprite 2, it was clear to fans and music critics what subject Future leans (no pun intended) towards the most. While sex and money still play a big part in his tracks, the glorification of drugs, primarily lean or "dirty sprite" or "sizzurp," provides a heavy load of material for the Atlanta rapper. In a recent interview with French publication Clique, Future claimed that he was not a "drug addict" and that he makes music about drugs because he feels "like that's the number one thing everybody likes to talk about." And with his latest booming release, Purple Reign, Future made it clear that that purple drink is the number one thing he likes to talk about. Is there a Future without lean? Not in the following 17 references at least. —Janice Llamoca(Photo: Prince Willi...
