"Lean" or "purple drank," made with soda (usually Sprite), Jolly Rancher candy (usually purple), and prescription codeine cough syrup -- known as "sizzurp" -- is very popular on the urban music scene. Justin Beiber is known to be a fan, and as a Canadian, has easier access to it than his American counterparts.
Two years ago, the manufacturer of the "good stuff" codeine cough syrup put it out of production, sending the prices of the remaining supplies skyrocketing on the underground market. Another pharmaceutical company now makes the syrup, but it requires as least twice as much.
I associate the current escalation of bizarre behavior on the urban music scene with the final evaporation of the good sizzurp, and people either going through withdrawal or trying to subsist on the cheaper stuff. Recently, Justin Beiber was found sitting in a tree.
