Perusing the plants and product at the local dispensary with the stoner rapper royalty and “executive boss"
SOME PEOPLE THAT SMOKE with me get lazy. But I’m a mature hustler, an executive boss. I’m rare,” says 2 Chainz. “I’ve always smoked while I’m working. This happens every night, whether the cameras are on or off. This is the lifestyle that people have to accept from me.”
Like plenty of rappers, 2 Chainz can easily call himself a “boss”: He has multiple clothing labels, a restaurant (Atlanta’s Escobar), even a new line of luxury beds. But he’s also one of rap’s best-known cannabis connoisseurs at a moment when marijuana is as mainstream as it has ever been, thanks to the increased decriminalization across the country — most notably in California, where Proposition 64 legalized recreational use in November 2016.

Twenty One Pilots have blown up at top 40 radio, sold out massive arenas and even drawn the ire of millennial-bashing columnists with an unapologetic mashup of suburban angst, rap and reggae.

But really it’s just the opposite.”

Girl groups were supposed to have been kaput when The X Factor threw together five ambitious teens with hard-knock childhoods.
