You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack is the fifth studio album by American outsider rapper and record producer Viper.
[2] According to Viper himself, the album's upfront lyricism allowed him to address controversial issues with society, such as his crack use and dealership at the time,[5] violence, and his past gang membership with 5-9 Piru, a sub-group of the Bloods.
[7] The back cover of the indie vinyl issue of the album consists of a fake Fox News report using one of Viper's selfies which he had sent out to fans.
You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack and Viper in general remained relatively obscure throughout the 2000s, where he would host his albums on CD Baby to limited exposure.
People on the Internet are initially drawn to Viper because of his blatant disregard for grammar, outrageously violent and drug-centric lyrics, and how sonically bizarre he is in general.
"[9][5][7] You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack is Viper's most successful album—it became an internet meme due to the quality of its album cover and title, which has been noted as being "shockingly upfront".
[14] On January 11, 2024, (a week after being arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping) Viper released "You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack 5.1.1".
