Well today I went to see my main dude, but he was waiting for his people to come through with the re-up and I had already waited around for an hour and a half for the guy.. then I got the "I'll call you back in 10 min man".. then 15 min later.. "Im gettin ready to call you in a couple minutes".. I wait another 10 and call, phones off. Fuck that. So then i gotta decide what Im gonna do next.. Call one of the back up numbers which I know wont be good dope. just O.K.. or go hit the west side. Ended up choosing the latter and it was an interesting experience this time..
I go to my normal spot on the WS and a dude gives me the heads up, i order, they were sellin dubs though and I only had $50.. so I was like yo I want 3, i didnt come here for just 2 dubs.. so he says ok.. but then he ends up callin a guy bitching about how he needs to be here now, hes got custies waiting, blah blah blah. then the dope boy walked up to a house right behind me on the block, knocked on the door, and an old dude 60+ crackhead looking motherfucker comes out.. they both come up to my car and the old dude wants in my car (This is almost always a red flag, and its really one of my golden rules never to let anyone in the car, theres no need to.) But I go to the dope boy "Is this the dude whos supposed to serve me?" He said yeah man. So I let the crackhead in, he pulls out a bag of about 20 dubs, rips it open and asks how many.. i said 3.. and give him half a bill and he goes "Oh nah man I can't do that, my boss didnt say I could do that.." So Im like well fuck man dude that I just talked to and who came and got you told me hed do 3 for it.. So I grab my money back from the guy, proceed to wait a min acting like im thining about it.. and then i figured fuck it, its in my hand I dont wanna go to another spot.. so i take back 10.. and hes like "Well, alright." and gives me the 3rd dub for $10 anyways.. He just said "Yo I'mma do it this time, be sure to come back and shop with us".. So I get all 3, and they are FAT ASS dubs.. definitely a great deal. The dope is more than decent too.
I had picked this guy up half way down the block, and i just took him the rest of the way down, made a right, went down and alley and dropped him off at the back of house he came out of.. went down the street I entered on, and a cop was coming down the street in my direction, I just kept it moving, made the next right onto the main road and off the side streets and was in the clear. Shit, if I had shown up 5 minutes later theres a good chance the cop coulda shown up on the block right as i was sitting there talking to the dude flagging people down.. Its always a fuckin gamble on the westside.. but I do like this spot, because when you turn off the street you cop on, the turn to get back on the main 4 lane road is literally 2 very short blocks down, so you're in and out in no time.
I also saw a lot less cops out today than I usually do.. Must have just been a lucky day. Its nice how in chicago if you want dope, you're never gonna go home empty-handed if you know where the legit spots are.. its just too prevalent/easy. So all in all, glad I went and copped off the street instead of waiting around on my main dude or using one of my back ups.
One thing I notice about this spot.. its almost NEVER the same dudes who are out there. I've been served by different people every time. And on this street when you first turn onto it they are selling dubs, and if you go 2 blocks down the same street, you can get dimes.. Im wondering if theyre the same crew or not though, cause the only time I see those dudes out 2 blocks down is when the first block is pretty much empty. And its ALWAYS totally different packaging. Sometimes foils, sometimes a bag with a design on one side and clear on the other, one time it was solid black on both sides of the bag, and this time both sides were competely clear. (I like clear the best so you can see what you're getting. In fact, these were so fat I almost questioned whether or not I just got ripped off.. Thankfully nope, I got some legit good dope, and a good amount per dub.
So yeah, I just trusted my instincts on this one by letting dude in my car, and normally I'd never ever do this because on the west side this never happens.. but oh well, something told me this old dude wasn't about to try and rob me.. and then when I saw him pull out a bag that had been tied and knotted as small as possible with about 20 dub bags, I knew I was cool then.
Sorry for the rambling, but another thing I liked about these bags is that the dude running the spot stapled the top of the bag after he had sealed it like normal bags are sealed, but the staple showed nobody just opened em and fucked with em. I liked that a lot. Made me way more confident in the product.
So yeah, today was another successful day on the west side of chicago.. 2 dubs down, feeling really good, 1 left.. It will definitely get me full on nodding.. Anybody joining me? TEAM NOD ASSEMBLE!
P.S. I want updates on that dude who was asking about tips on copping in chicago and said h was gonna be in chicago today
