D's means Daytons in that song haha. Nice try though.

And a 20 sack in Seattle is called a Dub so that could be why. Or maybe it came from deuce. Who knows!

Question to all those hardcore thugs that type like they speak.
How long has the term DUB been used for drugs?
I am sure they started to use the term after Dub (meaning 20" wheels) was used. Funny all the responses about DUB and drugs are non Cali residents, but Dub was founded in SoCal.

If you guys still haven't figured out why they're called dubs, i'll explain.

Dubs refer to wheels. "Wheels" starts with a "w". When you pronounce "w" you say something close to, "dubble-you." And they shortened that to, "dubs."

It was funny to hear stories about how the wheels DUB got their name from drugs
