Dirty, Rotten, Scandalous: Dope Boy Allstars

The fuck is a dope boy allstar? Ehhh urban dictionary likes to give the following definition:

Dope Boy All Star

  1. Any person who distributes illicit substances. The term is most often used to describe a young male that excels at selling to a specific geographic area or neighbourhood, and most likely moves hard drugs (ex. cocaine, crack), as well as the standard marijuana and prescription pills. A ‘Dope Boy All Star’ IS the hood entrepreneur.
  2. A person in the dope game who rises above the rest to become a player amongst players.

“You’re movin’ bricks like a Dope Boy All Star.”

“I’m a Dope Boy Allstar. I don’t have a habit yet, I’m doing good so far.”

But really Dope Boy Allstars are this band who’s kinda from that place in IL where I froze to death last winter and they sorta sound like Rancid meets Sublime meets NOFX meets *insert name of awesome 90′s punk band you totally loved in 4th grade here*. So what sets ‘em apart? Well you know when that kid you work with says “DUDE COME TO MY SHOW. WE’RE LIKE, REAL PUNK. YOU’LL BE BLOWN AWAY” but then you listen to them on myspace or wherever and they totally fucking suck??? Not these guys. First of all, they’d never say “WE’RE LIKE, REAL PUNK” or “YOU’LL BE BLOWN AWAY” – those are tell tale signs of a shitty band. Basically they’ll tell you to come out because it’ll be a fucking good time. Want proof?
