They didn't claim that's the "only" reason. They said they went to work for the song because it had stopped rising in the charts. You make it sound as if they're boasting that they made an otherwise unsuccessful song successful by pedaling coke to program directors.
It's clearly implied, night bull.
They say - it lost its bullet so we gave some djs some coke and guess what? it got its bullet back. Complete and total bs. Correlation does not equal causation. CSA was a hit because its a great song. Not because 2 coked out losers decided to share their stash with a few djs.
