It IS CMB, which stands for Cash Money Boys.

Frog eyes and bubble eyes are the same thing, the new headlights are bubble shaped, much like a frog's eyes.

O-Z is simple, an ounce of whatever, gold, drugs.

Crissy is a very expensive champagne, non-ebonics people know it as Cristal (pronounced chris-tal accent on the tal)

Dubs are indeed car rims, dub is generally short for W and while I don't know which particular rim this is referring to, there's a good bet that it's a brand or style which starts with W.

With the reference to D's I assume he's talking about Dayton rims with rubber hammer referring to the tires. It's a stretch but it's my best guess.

The only one I can't make out is cake. I have no idea what this means. Taken out of context, one would think it to be from the expression have your cake and eat it too which would SOMEWHAT make sense, but not completely.

Hope this helps a bit ;)

I was going by the lyrics from ighetto.com, which says CMD. *shrug*

either way, WTF does it mean? and it doesnt mean cash money billionaires, considering they are the cash money MILLIONAIRES and that doesnt make sense anyway.




<< dimes: $10 bags of whatever
dubs: slightly bigger, more expensive not quite as exact
quarter sacks: $25 bags
o's/z's: both mean OUNCE of whatever drug that boy opened up shop with. oi!

>>




okay, thats why I didn't ask about quarter sacks or dimes. I'm well aware of what those are, as well as an ounce (having bought many of each in my years :Q) I just didn't make the connection of &quot;O-Z&quot; = ounce.


I listed to it like 10 times, at full volume w/ sound blaster live! klipsch promedia's, as well as on my car system, and I can't tell if its CMD or CMB but cash money &quot;boys&quot; would make sense I guess. so I guess it is CMB.

thanks for the help

I'm telling you cake means money.

&quot;Greed, hate, envy what cake will do....&quot;

Money causes greed, hate, and envy.

Although DMX uses it in a different way

&quot;I just love when a N!GGA bring his whole crew, it's just another piece of cake to chew a hole through&quot;

I think he is reffering to the actual food.

Surely not. A rapper using a word for it correct meaning in a song? :Q impossible. ;)

Cake = Coke, Cocaine, Ya Dig???
Bubbled Eyed, Frog Eyed = The way the lights look (Round and sh!t)
on dubs = on 20s (As in Rims)
O-Z's = Ounce (Mostly weed)
BTW It's
&quot;TV's must...buttons must....
CMB...platinum plus&quot; = Means all Cash Money Boys albums have gone platinum or more (Which is true)
Rocks = Diamonds


I think I got em all

yes, thanks to Nore. :) wanna tackle &quot;D's wit a rubba hamma&quot; ? is it as someone expected, D-cups etc?

also , I didn't think I was a big Nelly fan from just the singles on MTV, &quot;country grammar&quot; was okay, but it got old quick, and EI sounded kinda silly.

but when I heard the whole album, I was supremely impressed! #12 sounds incredible massasging your brain stem thru 1200 watts! #2 is good, #3 is great. I love #10, and #7-9 are all great. #13 is cool. the whole damn album is good

Most times &quot;dub&quot; is used as an adjective it has something to do with 20.


e.g.
Sittin on Dubs= 20&quot; rims
Dub sack= $20 bag of weed

NoreCNN--

It was a name for ebonics from the 70s. That line was in reference to the movie Airplane when the stewardess couldn't understand these two black fellas and Barbara Billingsly (Beaver Cleaver's mom) walked up and said that she spoke &quot;jive&quot;. Hilarious movie.

Uh I know what Jive means, I just said that cause in the movie Double take, Eddie Griffin is like &quot;Act Black&quot; to Orlando Jones and he starts saying &quot;What it is Jive Turkey&quot;.

LOL, I know what it means
