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 ↴
querendo te sacanear
Vivem uma vida mentirosa cujo único objetivo é de você se aproveitar Andam
todo tempo ao seu lado
esperando a sua confiança Pois só querem te sugar Vícios que constroem suas
mentes Pois não existe
o caráter com que possa almejar Babacas, 'causeão, quem são, são seus amigos
Nada lhe impede de
dentro de você lhe faz sentir
muito melhor No caso só lhe faz sorrir Orgulho e caráter são valores que
você sempre mostrou e lhe
querem ser tomados Diante de alguns moleques tão imbecis, não resta outra
alternativa Vou ter que
matá-los Babacas, 'causeão, quem são, são seus amigos
The lyrics in Planet Hemp's song "Seus Amigos" warn listeners to be careful of those who claim to be their friends because they are a bunch of idiots who want to take advantage of them. They live a deceptive life whose sole purpose is to exploit you. They are always by your side, waiting for your trust, because they only want to suck you dry. The addictions they indulge in only serve to erode their minds and they lack the character needed to aspire for anything more in life.
The lyrics suggest that these so-called friends are undeserving of existence, and the anger that arises from within makes you feel much better, maybe even happy. The values of pride and character that the listener has always exhibited are at risk of being stolen by these foolish mates. The song implies there is no way out other than to kill them. The song's lyrics express feelings of violence and anger towards negative influences that try to take advantage of, deceive or manipulate others.
