Meth Labs & Moonshine by Mini Thin

Album: Hillbilly Hustle (2015)

Get the Sheet Music License This Song

From the "hick hop" rapper Mini Thin comes this menacing track about life in West Virginia, where crystal meth, moonshine and Oxycontin are part of the culture.
Rappers have never been shy of courting controversy, but the controversy over this track is a little contrived.

When Mini Thin and his team decided they wanted to film the video in a real courtroom, they went through the proper channels.

Later, Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said he was under the impression a documentary was being made - as opposed to a simulated invasion, albeit with fake guns. One of the stars was an actress named Jennifer Blaze; there is a porn star with that name, but this is probably controversy enough. >>
