Pusha and his brother, Malice – real name Gene – combine to form the duo Clipse.
They are both very talented rappers, and there’s often debate about which brother is a better rapper. But all that talk is irrelevant to Pusha because even if his brother is better, his family is still running the rap game

Throughout Section.80, Kendrick portrays members of his generation as victims of circumstance; they have been adversely affected by politics and wars that they had no control over. Kendrick cites the notion that marijuana can treat depression, or symptoms of bipolar disorder. He equates the effects of cannabis with endorphins, which are the human brain’s built-in painkiller proteins.
This relates to the theme of “ADHD” because those suffering from it often feel alone or isolated by their symptoms.
Section 8 is government provided housing and typically, those who feel they live in neighborhoods with “disorganization” meaning, violence or drugs and alcohol was tied to higher levels of drug and alcohol use in youth- specifically African American youth (Lambert et. al). So there are clear ties between one’s environment, and where they live to later substance abuse (Lambert et. al). In this case, section 8 housing for Kendrick Lamar was the environment that influence his drug use and abuse along with his generation

Weed stimulates the endocannabinoid system, that can also release dopamine (the pleasure molecule) as a reward mechanism.
In a similar way, dopamine reuptake inhibitors like Methylphenydate (Ritalin) and cocaine can make it so there’s more dopamine flowing.
Patients with ADHD tend to incur in substance abuse, since the addiction mechanism for drugs is mediated by dopamine and other neurotransmitters.
ADHD patients tend to have high cognitive abilities but lack in certain aspects of their behavior, like their short attention span and their withdrawn and asocial tendencies.
