Recently the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced that they will be hiring a ‘street slang expert’ to help them decipher the language on their phone taps. This is ridiculous on a number of levels (as is the entire ‘war on drugs’), but we figured that instead of using taxpayer dollars to pay a ‘street slang expert,’ the Ds ought to just listen to a few of our favorite rappers. Everything they need to know is in the music already!
bird – 36 oz. of powder cocaine
e.g. The way I put them words together, reminds me of how I used to put them birds together.

brick – a kilogram/pound of any drug.
e.g. ‘Lost 92 Bricks had to to fall back/knocked a nigga off his feet but I crawled back’

bean – a prescription pill (oxycontin, xanax, percoset, etc.) or ecstasy pill
e.g. Get drunk, do a line, pop a bean, bite down.

cooking up – turning power cocaine into crack-cocaine
e.g. Cooking up that coca, you could call me Sosa.
