Devin The Dude 10 Best

Weed Songs

By Hector Richardson

Even if you don’t like burning up, you can at least appreciate Devin the Dude’s music. Devin the Dude is H-reddest-eyed Town’s underground Hip Hop icon. The Dude remains strong than most, packing his songs with more marijuana allusions than the typical stoner, despite the fact that hip-hop has long been a fan of the plant.

Here are Devin The Dude’s 10 best weed songs to enjoy on 420

Do the world a favor and go listen a copy of Odd Squad’s landmark Fadanuf Fa Erybody right away if you don’t already have one. (Seriously. Waiting here.) Devin had yet to release a solo album and hadn’t yet found the easygoing, laconic flow that would make him your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper, but in 1994, his rhymes were already tight and his lungs were already worn out due to a serious coughee addiction. But in case you’re a bit too stoned to understand, the Dude and his fellow Odd Squad members refer to marijuana as “Coughee” and always have a pot simmering. We’re just getting started, so pull out the Swishers, Backwoods or whatever your favorite wrap is and roll up a couple “big ol’ horse dicks.”

Although Devin the Dude isn’t always nice, he is not a pervert. While this smart song from Waitin’ to Inhale may initially seem like a creeper’s ode to helpless jailbait, any amateur indoor agriculturalist will quickly see that Devin isn’t chasing minor ladies in this song. Sure, it can be difficult to wait when you’re just. So. Ready. But patience is a virtue when it comes to sucking on something sweet, so don’t be afraid to buy your true love a purity ring, if need be. ‘Cause if folks see you together in public, they’re apt to call the laws.

In Houston, Texas, you can’t stay long without learning a little Spanish. Even if his spelling is a little sloppy, Devin the Dude clearly understands the basics. This humorous story about smoking a few joints with diverse neighborhood personalities exemplifies how cannabis can bring individuals from all walks of life together in harmony to unwind and enjoy marijuana very much. Just remember to remove your shoes before entering.

What degree of connections exists between Devin the Dude and Herb? To co-star in his very own stoner comedy, “Highway 420”, that is. Although the movie was regretfully passed over by both the Razzies and the Oscars, it did have some catchy music, especially the obvious yet crucial “We Get High.” Rob Quest and Jugg Mugg, two Coughee Brothers, join the ensemble.

Let’s face it: If aliens exist and visit Earth frequently, they probably aren’t interested in our organized mating rituals or global information infrastructure. They come to try the local psychoactive plants and grab great discounts at our big-box retail stores. In “Zeldar,” one of Devin’s kookiest, most inventive tracks, he expresses his vision of how first contact would occur. The titular alien may have traveled to the Bayou City to buy at Walmart, but when his mega-hoop breaks down, he makes the same amazing discovery that you made in 8th grade: this leafy, green thing is the bomb.

“Smokin’ that weed and feelin’ fine/ Got me a 40 and a fat-ass dime.” In Odd Squad’s Rap-A-Lot debut, Devin the Dude lays forth in simple English his ideal state of being. If the cold-ass shuffle of this tune can’t make you want to let free with a stanky square and frosty brew, you may as well run for Congress since you’re obviously a big enough asshole.

Cannabis is great. We can all agree that, of course. Yet according to what the Bible says, man cannot survive on dojah alone (paraphrased). One usually feels dry and parched after smoking. God created beer as the peanut butter to weed’s marshmallow Fluff for this reason. The Dude creates a redneck partner for himself to duet with on this really smooth song from Just Trying to Live just because he can. Perhaps you’ve always been more of a cocaine person if you can groove to it without having the need to ride around the ghettos and trailer parks, drink, and ignite until it gets dark.

As Devin just contributes the hook to this song, it can be considered unfair to place it on our list. Who is to care? It’s too excellent to exclude. “P.W.A.” is more than simply a sick single from Willie D and the 5th Ward Boys; it is gloriously sexist in the sense that only ice-cold hip-hop beats can accomplish. It also serves as the Dude’s fully realized mission statement, outlining the better things in life that motivate him to get out of bed in the morning (er, afternoon, maybe). in fact seem to please us all.

2. “S cky Green”

One of Devin’s best-ever collaborations features the legendary Scarface, who gives the Dude’s statement of love unquestionable believability on this soft, piano-driven song. You don’t need to experiment with formaldehyde or other chemical adulterants, take it from ‘Face. Just roll up a Zig Zag, take a leisurely drag, and blow out the smoke. This technique continues to represent the apex of marijuana enjoyment despite technological advancements over the past 20 years.

1. “Doobie Ash ay”

Devin the Dude puts out the finest song of his career, one that ranks very near the top of the greatest Houston rap tracks of all time, with a lot of help from DJ Premier. Only Devin could turn the dismal knowledge that all the marijuana has been consumed into a glimpse into the isolation and insecurity that may occasionally be a part of life for a rapper after everyone leaves. It’s one of the Dude’s saddest songs, and he has a few decent ones under his belt, lasting for more than four minutes. But then, miracle of miracles, just as the tears begin to fall, He comes across a cannabis bag. God is in heaven, it’s hot in Houston, and everything is OK. Friends, roll up— finally it’s 4/20!
