History of "rolling on doves"

There's a discussion in the local rag about the meaning of
"rolling on doves" in gangsta rap. One person said it means
your car has 20" wheels. Another person said the same but
it was meant to be "rolling on dubs" (dub ~ double, as in
20 being double of 10).

Does anyone know how this expression came about?

I suggest asking on alt.music.gangsta-rap, rec.gambling.craps, or
possibly alt.usage.english. I doubt anyone here would know.

Do you know how to work Google?
The search "dub wheels" returned a large number
of hits, any one of which would have explained that
"dub" is a brand of rims.

like the very first one

Does anybody really care? It means the same thing as "Yo yo beeyotches yo
ho mutha****a yo ni**a pop a cap in that cop's azz yo homey yo!".

Nobody needs to speak on behalf of idiots, they manage
to speak entirely too much for themselves already.

One way to find out if anyone cares, Daniel: walk up to a black person and
repeat what you just wrote. For the most unbiased results, go to a black
neighborhood and repeat it around whoever looks like gangsta rappers to you.

My guess is they'll be laughing their asses off so much they won't be
able to shoot straight, so he might get away with it.
