Penis veins. Weed. Prince. Cough Syrup. Marie Schrader from Breaking Bad. What does purple, or "purrp," the ghettomatically correct spelling, mean to you? Before SpaceGhostPurrp took the stage Tuesday night at Santo's Party House, I chilled with his crew and groupies to investigate the true meaning of the color purrp.Sophie Saint Thomas with the Purrp crew.His crew, the Raider Klan consists of Black Dave, Migs (New Lurk City) D-Stunna, Matt Stoops, and Claaw Ave. My apologies to the Klan, due to the heavy purple smoke you were blowing down my throat I forgot to ask you to say your name before you spoke into the mic (my cracked iPhone) so I to refer to you as Raiders 1-5. I felt bad when I realized this and was going to ask you guys to identify yourselves after the show at the party at Purrp's hotel room you invited me to, but then you ditched me in a bodega and left me to run down the streets yelling "WAIT FOR ME PURRP!" so I don't feel so bad anymore.VICE: What does purpp mean to you?Raider 1: Purrp is Space Ghost. He brings back the old, 90's Memphis flow and I really appreciate that.Raider 2: Purrp is real because he does his own beats and people respect that. He's working with people like Wiz Khalifa. Fuck Soulja Boy!Raider 3: Basically this whole SpaceGhostPurrp thing is like getting your mind out there, outer space. We trippy. We smoke kush.Besides from your boy SpaceGhostPurpp, what is purrp?

And purple drink is that syrup that has you moving like you're Billy Jackson.Raider 5: Purp the syrup is Promethazine with Codeine. The best brand is Actavis and you drink that with Sprite. Take out half the fizz and shake that up then you dump about six or seven Jolly Ranchers in it then you let it sit for about half an hour and then you drink it.Will you guys freestyle for me?Raider 2: We with Sophie from VICE eatin' the millionaire rice, say it twice, go weed in the air we at Purrp show out here stone rollin' Raider Klan, yeah we do our thing, drop down to my dick cause my money comes thick, grass, bitch with a fat ass, white girl yeah she's bad, shout out to Sophie comin' from VICE shout out to Purrp, M-I-A flow, black land, Raider Klan, out here all black man, spinnin' chrome, nigga want dome.Raider 4: Yeah we don't fucking play I come at your bitch all fucking day, I cum on the head then I cum on the nose I don't give a fuck, nigga pose.Sophie with the Purrp crew ladies.
