Of all the imagery associated with the modern trap rap wave, none may be more prominent than the white Styrofoam cup.
Filled with lean, a mixture consisting of Promethazine cough syrup and Sprite, the act known as “pouring up”, or “sipping purple” has come to represent a movement, not unlike how the blunt or the 40oz has become ingrained in hip-hop culture.
“Big White Cups” is Florida rapper/producer Spaceghostpurrp’s contribution to the cause. It is a trippy, spacey banger where Purpp delivers a single confident, effortless verse, discussing his love of the drug while calling out those who he feels bit his style, notably former collaborator A$AP Rocky, who has rapped about his affinity for the drink numerous times.
