Loud pack refers to any bag of marijuana that possesses a notably strong aroma or is of superior quality. 'Loud' is another term often used for potent marijuana, highlighting its intense effects and fragrance.
The term has also found unsettling use among gang members, who frequently liken their victims to weed. In street vernacular, when someone is shot, it is colloquially referred to as being 'smoked.' Consequently, gang members may name their marijuana packs after deceased rival gang members, perpetuating a grim tradition. This practice is echoed in rap music, where artists with gang affiliations reference fallen adversaries as weed packs in their lyrics.
Gang Culture and Music
Several rappers, who have ties to gang culture, incorporate this morbid naming ritual into their songs. For example, in Chief Keef's track 'War,' he raps about being high off various packs named after deceased rivals: "I'm high off this Tooka pack - I'm high off this Aiki pack, I'm high off this Tu-Tu pack - Smoking on that Jay Loud, smoking on that FatHead." Each name mentioned represents a deceased rival gang member, illustrating how deeply intertwined these themes are within certain music genres.
