Talk:Purple Pills

Ecstasy
It should be noted somewhere that the blue and yellow purple pills he sings about is Ecstasy. I'm suprised there is no mention of this in the article or in the Ecstasy article, cause its probably the biggest ballad to MDMA ever...

What about Oxycontin?
Are you sure the purple pills in the song arn't referencing Oxycontin? 160 milligram Oxycodone pills are usually colored purple, and we all know how much D12's buddy Eminem likes opioid painkillers like Vicodin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.229.213 (talk) 15:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Video link
Hey, the link to the video on youtube has a problem: apparently youtube removed the video (or at least, that is what I get). Does anybody have another, working link? Than you should post it. If not I suggest that you remove the link to youtube. --NickVdBroeck (talk) 21:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Free sticker
I seem to recall that, the cd single (Purple Pills, not the Purple Hills import) was close to facing disqualification from the UK singles chart, as it had a free D12 sticker inside, until music stores took the sticker out. The Virgin Megastore that I went to had placed those stickers at the counters, and they offered them to anyone, regardless of whether they bought the cd single or not.

Ecstasy? Not likely.
It is widely reported in media that Eminem publicly admitted to an addiction to opioids and sleeping pills, any number of which are purple (MS Contin, Ambien), blue (Valium) and yellow (Oxycontin). These are at least as likely to be the subject of the song as ecstasy, as the song mentions both street drugs and pharmaceuticals. Directly linking "purple pills" to MDMA seems calculated to avoid mentioning pharmaceutical companies. In the absence of references, the article should mention both theories.
