true that. when I first started out on dope I had this 6'9," ~250lb black dealer with tattoos all over his body (including a cross on his eyelid, 5 tear drops on his face, and HUSTLE on the inside of his lip). he was a terrible dealer but I didn't know anyone else at the time.
occasionally he would ask me to drive him to wendy's/burger king/etc or to the grocery store and give me a free bag for it. I would put on my favorite music while we were riding and he would always call it gay, so eventually I just listened to dj paul & lord infamous (of the three 6 mafia) when I had to ride around with him.
so glad I have a professional dealer now. no bullshit
and a question to everyone: do any of your dealers call you "big dawg?" seemed like all the dealers I met in the ghetto would answer the phone like "wassup big dawg?"
getting called that made me feel good about myself for some sick stupid reason. I knew that they didn't give a fuck about me but getting called a big dawg and just taking the risk of scoring gave me some sense of bad-assness.
that is, until I realized how dope is a dead end habit
Lol yeah man it's like I have this whatever, anything-goes, quirky sense of humor and I don't mean anything by it. But I had this dealer once who thought it was "the gayest shit ever," and he'd actually get upset whenever I'd joke around. (He'd have me do the same thing, give him a ride to get food or run errands or whatever and throw me a bag or two for it.)
The dealer we have now is much, much more professional, but I still don't feel comfortable joking around with him about things like that.
But anyway, uh... "big dawg" ? No, around here it's "brother" (pronounced with just a little bit of flavor, more like "brotha" than "brother") The dealers around here are all black, and they want you to feel like you're special to them, not just another white face, like you're a friend of theirs and on their level entirely... so they'll call you "brother" as if you're
one of them.
It could be that I'm over-analyzing it, but uh... I've had black friends before, and none of them have ever felt compelled to call me "brother" before. But every black dealer I've ever had has called me "brother." lol
It's funny though and I don't mind it (shrugs) because at the end of the day, I know what it is; I want your dope, and you want my money, and you're black, and I'm white, and that's fine... I know I'm white and I'm OK with it. lol
