When did "dub" become a negative?

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Def some NYC shyt...one of my cousins said to me and had me confused af. I’m guessing it’s been around for a while cuz he’s older than me and was shocked I didn’t know what it meant and was convinced I was trolling lol

shyt weird and doesn't make logical sense

I know nikkas back in the day used to say quit cappin, so when i heard the youngins saying no cap i was like because they brought it back it’s amazing how our culture is so cyclical

If I can make any logical connection, dub for them might equate to being dubbed in the game: losing by twenty/twenty one....a dub has always meant a win to me tho lol

"Dubs" used to be negative in the old days of anime lol

My nerdy ass came in here expecting a argument between dub anime and sub anime, only to be dumbfounded that this wasn't the case.

Carry on boys

I always remember dub meaning wack from back ( late 90s -2000s ) “ man he dropped a dub, turn that shyt off “ but then we would also say dub for a 20 sack. All depends on how you used it but it’s been around for some time.

Cap always meant lie, first heard it when I moved to Tampa in the late 90s. I know it’s popping now to other states but it’s always been regional to westcoast Florida section.

never heard of/used cap as lie until the past ~3ish years. out here, growing up you were either gonna cap someone (kill) or cap on someone (clown). interesting how your region's use is what's big nationwide now

fukk that young shyt.


I will continue to use dub in the classic sense.

 

[Cave Savage]

It goes both ways. A dub could mean a W, but in more recent years it’s been used for L’s.

“I dubbed her call last night”
“The party was a dub”

I heard people use "dub" like that even 10 years ago

Man we probably need a lingo thread, because sometimes i be like when some lingo gets used

I’ve heard those renditions of the word too, like I’m gon cap that nikka, or bust a cap in him, And as I’ve mentioned cappin was lying when i was younger maybe in college or high school
