Chin used to play 2Pac's Hit'Em Up over and over real loud at the triangle social club on Sullivan so the feds couldn't record anything of importance. You could hear it everyday even from Houston St which is on the West Side of Manhattan.

I'm laughing, but you really should know that Houston Street runs east to west through the entire borough. From the East River to the Hudson River. But you knew that lol.

The Westside gets their nickname from their dominance on the West Side of Manhattan (namely the Village and further up West Street where they had a lock on the gay bars), and New Jersey (which is west of Manhattan).
