My 2 cents on the quality & price discussion. I think its great that all us feens get pissed off

if you try to say dope in your city is better. Shit cracks me up.
I've been in this shitty/wonderful life for bout 13 years and have seen it change and evolve over the years. When I started out not many people had cell phones (and if they did they were the size of a fax machine

) so everything was on the street. There were so many open-air spots in Newark the dealers would literally stop your car by standing in the street. And once they knew your car, you'd have 6-8 ma'fuckers sprint up to you as soon as you stopped yellin out what they had and "how many man.....how many!!!"
You could also one-stop shop because almost every spot had diesel, raw coke & cookies. Back then it was $10 a bag but the bags tended to be a little bigger and fatter. You could get discounts if you bought more like $85 a bun and going rate for a brick was about $375.
Then slowly you started seeing prices drop and more and more dealers started selling diesel exclusively. Gradually, raw coke starting getting scarce and now it is dead on the streets of Newark. Crack/cookies are out but most dealers choose to sell D. The number of dealers switching from coke to D, the increase of suburban dope users from suburbs and the advent of cheap/powerful Colombian dope in the 90s are some of the main reasons for the price drop.
Nowadays there are fewer and fewer open-air markets in Newark. Almost every public housing complex still has em but the street dealers have largely gone underground choosing the safer call/meet route. This is due to the strong effort by law enforcement to close open-air markets and the advent of cell phones. Everyone in the world has access to a cell phone so it is easy to make arrangements and move away from hot areas.
As for quality/pricing, it varies from dealer to dealer. Some cities might have slightly better quality than others but I find it mostly all depends on who you are dealing with. In the Northeast whether its Philly, Newark, Irvington, Paterson, NYC, Brooklyn, etc there is top quality dope and shitty dope out there on any given day. If you have a reputable money makin dealer, he is always gonna get the ggod shit to sell you. If you are forced to use a sheisty, half-steppin punk to get your shit, your quality is going to vary greatly. Reason for this is this guy will get any crappy shit to sell you cause it makes him a few extra bucks in the short term. Also, b/c the wholesalers who carry good shit don't put up with their bullshit so they have trouble getting good stuff even when they want to.
Pricing is also all about your dealer and your relationship. IME it mostly varies now from 60-80 per bundle and anywhere from 300-400 per brick. On few occassions I could get it cheaper if I was short but that was from my best connect who I used daily for 5-6 yrs. But in general if you see guys selling consistently for pricers lower than 60 bun/300 brick they are probably selling shit that I wouldn't want anyway. If you are gettin quality stuff for less than God bless you but it is not common. Personally I'd rather pay 80/bun for consistent quality dope than 60/bun for mediocre shit.
