Around where I stay in Oakland we have this little game called "Ghetto Scavenger Hunt"...
Here's the scorecard:
crack sacks - 1 point
empty tall boy of King Cobra in a brown bag - 5 - with a straw 15
a single shoe - 10
empty Robitussin bottle -10
empty "travel size" E&J Gin bottle - 10
chunk of busted ass weave- 10 - full weave 50
syringes - 25
bullet casing - 30
As you can guess - the smaller the point value the more commonplace the item. While not as common as say, empty drug baggies, Robitussin (aka "Bo" in Bay slang) bottles mos definitely litter the streets of our fair city. I'm from the school of "try that shit when your 14 and leave it alone", but the post-hyphy generation of Bay Area rappers are hitting up Walgreen's on the daily, son. Oakland rapper Shady Nate recently dropped a mixtape called "The Bo-Fessional" where pretty much every track is about...wait for it...drinking Robitussin. Fucking amazing. Here's a sample of Oakland's love for the syrup:
