First appearing in 1993 in Rio de Janeiro, with politically charged lyrics about marijuana legalization, they started playing concerts in Rio de Janeiro and other capitals, such as Belo Horizonte, São Paulo and Curitiba.
Planet Hemp began attracting mainstream attention due to the violent outbreaks which were common during their concerts. In 1994 Skunk, one of the original band members passed away, interrupting Planet Hemp's career for some time, but after B Negão joined the group they signed a contract with Sony Music, releasing "Usuário" in 1995.
The album turned the band into an icon of the 90s Brazilian rock, with successful hits such as "Mantenha o Respeito", "Legalize Já", "Fazendo a Cabeça" and the controversial "Porcos Fardados" (Pigs in Uniform), a critique of the police brutality.
Because of their commitment and lyrics towards the legalization of marijuana, Planet Hemp has had issues with the Brazilian authorities. This tension has lead to apprehended records, cancelled concerts and prison warrants (in Brazil it is illegal to promote/defend the use of prohibited substances, including but not limited to weed).
The band ended in 2001, due to internal conflicts regarding Marcelo D2 solo career.

Planet Hemp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esplorando a sua vergonha.Eu sou o melhor do microfone, nao dou mole pra
Ninguem. Porque o Planet Hemp ainda gosta da Mary Jane. Entao por favor nao
Me trate como um marginal. Se o papo for por ai, ja comecamos mal. Quer me
Prender porque eu fumo Canabis Sativa. Na cabeca ativa. Na cabeca ativa e
Isso te incomoda? Eu falo, penso, grito, e isso pra voce e foda. A mente
Agucada mermao, eu sei que isso te espanta. Mas eu continuo queimando tudo
Ate a ultima ponta. Piso pesado e sinistro como o sol que vem sem do. Quando
Falsos MCs. Nocivos como os governantes de nosso pais. Minha familia quer
Tudo como quem nao quer nada. O estilo e livre ninguem pode para-la. Nada

Sobrevivendo. Se e o caso, queimo a casa me livro do rato. Negozinho se liga
Que eu nao vou deixar barato. Entao D2 - Quale - o que voce me conta? Eu
Continuo queimando tudo ate a ultima ponta. Olhe pra mim veja as pupilas
Dilatadas. E a mente trabalhando, eu nao vou te fazer nada. Sinta os efeitos
Da fumaca sonora, e nao se esqueca: Planet Hemp, fazendo sua cabeca.

The lyrics of Planet Hemp's "Queimando Tudo" engage with a socially taboo topic – marijuana usage. The song opens with a statement from the singer, stating that he sings in this particular manner because he smokes marijuana. He wants people to guess who has returned and to explore their own shame. The Planet Hemp band members are not afraid to admit that they are users of marijuana, and they do not want to be ostracized or labelled as outcasts because of that. The lyrics then continue to alude to the fact that the band members are the best in the microphone industry and that they do not give in to anyone trying to stop them. They further reassure their fans that they still love the drug in question and request not to be treated as marginal people.
The lyrics indicate that marijuana helps the songwriter keep an active mind and focus on his craft. He does not want to be charged merely because he smokes weed, which he regards as a non-issue. Throughout the song, the writers target both fake MCs and corrupt governments, hinting towards their political ideologies. They also write about the support they receive from their families, who want everything without demanding for too much. The song continues with an affirmation of how the group will continue to smoke and live on their terms. The song ends with the group realizing the impact of the drug on their lives while still making audiences feel their musical presence.
