Whats with the gold/silver teeth?

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

So I get it that its some kind of rap/ganster thing to do the gold teeth. Body modification, people do some weird shit. I have a tattoo, I know lots of people would say "hey look at that dumbass has a tattoo!" To each their own and all that.
Is it just me or does it seem really popular right now? I was at DMV about a month ago and I could not believe how many women had the gold tooth caps too! Yesterday at Formula D there was a group of kids that had a whole lot of metal on their teeth. Looked like a Sci-Fi character to me.
Someone want to explain this phenomenon to me? Something like a tattoo usually you can hide it if you want, going to work, job interviews kinda thing. But your teeth? Can you take them out?

[TheSnail]

Back in 96 I had gold front top four caps, that were ingraved "weed" with weed leaves on each side. like this *WEED* . Even then it was old, and that was 10years ago. I put them on to piss off the teachers but I did not rock them, just to school once in a while. Its nothing new, but now they add a shit load if diamonds to them, and some cost $50k.

[HyperTek]

bah.. whats with this trend of "whispering" in a song?? no one wants to see some old ass man's richard. lol

[TheSnail]

They have a new one with a Girl whispering now, and the gay guy that say's "oh !" is still in the backround.

[nistech]

that song is my jam wait till u see my dick

[420sx]

But your teeth? Can you take them out?

can be knocked out. let me know.....

[slappythehomelessclown]

bling'n out your teeth is fuckin queer.

is so stupid, when they do it in gold, it look's like they have'nt brushed thier teeth since they were 5.


stupid, stupid stupid.

[ThatGuy]

OMFG HAAHAAHAH that is insane. what if i want crome Spinners in SSR Proffesor style??

[Phlip]

You know, we could put an end to this nonsense...

We REFUSE to buy the albums that even FEATURE rappers with gold teeth, then they cannot recoup on their advance money, then their label drops them from their recording contract, then they make NO money, all because they spent $20+50k on platinum teeth with 4 karats of diamonds in them.

... I am SO glad I can't force myself to like the kind of rappers who usually happen to have gold/platinum/diamond fronts.

[sLip techniques]

hah, gold/platinum teeth and jewelry,yelling, screaming, saying the same word in each line....i blame the south.

[SochBAT]

"YEAH! WHAT? OKAY"

He must be some kinda retarded kid, cuz he brings his special ed cup everywhere he goes.
Y bling your teeth out when you can go buy nice fitting clothes that aren't 5998543 sizes too big?

Its also funny to see gangsters try to run away from cops and get caught cuz their pants are always too sagged, or big.

Idiots.

HAHA man, you got that off the movie "Half-Baked"

[TheSnail]

^ ? I dont remember that in half baked. I did rock it for the first 3 weeks of highschool before I was expelled. And I had them on on the last day when the cops had me in the hall. What an impression.:)

[nrg]

I dont see much of it around here. I've probably seen it twice.
You live in Oakland, CA. That's your answer HAHA!

It was at the end of Sir Smoke Alot's video, the first one where he was talking about Samson.

[sLip techniques]

[infinitexsound]

Not that i'm into the whole gold "TEEF" thing, but whats the difference between a rapper spending his advance money on a grill and Paris Hilton buying another ugly ass bag or diamond studded shit bracelet from the chump change she gets from fox or cbs or whoever. U really can't single out just one side of this horrible entertainment industry. I don't care how good they look.

I will invite you on a small trip through the current chart-topping rappers with gold/platinum/diamond fronts:
Mike Jones - album SUCKS
Lil Jon (and the other motherfuckers around him) - *same result*
Slim Thug - (came out today) has it's redeeming qualities, but still no real substance
Paul Wall - (comes out next week) I refuse to believe this will be worth my 9.98
... there are more, but I will use the current atmosphere to support my claims.

[ohnobigtdawg]

its all about the entertainment.. i personally like making fun of them.. its entertaining..... the world would be a bore if we didnt have dumbasses!

[HyperTek]

what is sad is you can stereotype the people you see bumpin it.. alot of young people are molded by todays entertainment..

because hiphop is suppose to be an art form but now its some stupid little trend of people yelling and screaming about getting krunk to just make some $. paris hilton is just a rich girl so she can do whatever she wants.

You confuse rap with hip hop.

Specifically Southern Rap, or, as I like to call it, "Crap Rap."

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Personally, I associate the image with criminal activity. I don't know why someone would want to tell the world that they look up to a criminal image. Now, most of us are up to no good at least some of the time, mostly just mischief. But thieves, muggers, drug dealers, dog fighters, gangs, these are people who hurt other people ( and animals ) I plead ignorance to a lot of this, but to an outsider such as my self it looks like its all the same lifestyle. I am sure a lot of it is just fashion, just like all American luxury sedans you see with 20-22 inch chrome rims don't mean that you are a criminal, but its part of the same image I think. I don't understand.

[that180guy]

I dont see much of it around here. I've probably seen it twice.

thats kinda insulting there. and i dont see it that much anytime im in my old neighborhood or friends house's.
and ive seen plenty of spoiled rich white boys (not to offend anybody thats white here) "bangin" gold/platinum or any kinda grill that prolly got mommy n daddies money to buy em.
but hey, to all his own, if a guy likes to rock bling n follow the trend, to all his own. shit, i got homeboys that do it.

speedmonkey: ur from oakland too! lol, what part if i may ask?

and rap or "r&b" is not hiphop.

"Yo, this is true hip-hop you listenin to right here
In the pure form, this ain't no R&B with a wack nigga takin the loop
Be loopin that shit thinkin it's gonna be the sound of the culture
YaknowhatI'msayin? (That player bullshit)
YaknowhatI'msayin? All that player dressin up
on this shit, actin like this some kind of fashion show man
YaknowhatI'msayin? This is hip-hop right here
YaknowhatI'msayin? This is lyrics, MCin"

[tew photy]

or just plain old cRap.

seriously, that's the only thing about this that pisses me off. i could care less what they wear, what jewelry they buy, or what trends they start, as long as they have talent. to call this shit music is being generous as hell, and these guys are getting loaded with having no substance.

BUT

props to them for taking advantage of a lot of easily entertained people with a lot of cash to blow.

maybe the wording was insulting, yeah, but honestly he is not too far off. i live in the east bay too, and it's a fact that there are more people here who wear that shit than probably 99% of the nation.

and i dunno bout you, but i have NOT seen more white kids wearing grills than other races. and why would you assume that they bought it with mommy and daddys money? im white and i know my parents would never sponsor that shit, even when they did support me. the idea that whites buy stuff on their parents' money is just as racist and stereotypical as the idea that blacks buy their stuff based on criminal activity or hustling or whatever bullshit euphanism is used.

yeah i knoe but there isnt suppose to be that difference :( , oh well....

andy: chill out!!! lol, i didnt mean it to any kinda offense or anything. and yeah, the whole mommy n daddy idea for white kids is another stereotype associated to white kids, just like the "ghetto thug gangsta rap" persona is associated with minorities(bahah, not in cali ;)) im just making a statement, on how its a stereotype, like any other. and itll always be there, the only way to be rid of it, is to emurse yourself or at least keep n open mind and poke thru it, and find out how things really are.

take example of me, born in oakland and raised there till 6th grade, them moved to el cerrito for middle skool, and parents made me go to high skool in oakland. up untill then, i hated this so called "hiphop, rap and all that shit, held my own kinda bias's and ignorances.

even with all the blah blah blah influences of the whole skool, eventually i let it soaked in, and listened. and learned. and found the essense of true hip hop,
and shit nowadays, i find myself listenin to more pep love, zion i, and lyrics born, rather then offspring, mighty mighty boss tones n alkaline trio.

u just gotta open ur eyes, make a judgement, but hold dont hold bias, kinda a oxymoron, but stereotypes will always be there if ignorance continues...blind ignorance to be exact.
ignorance is not an excuse. all im tryin to say.

hahaha, random point, my parents dont even consider "rap" music and think it will die out slowly....how wrong and closed they are...

slip tech: now there is......=\

[ThatGuy]

Now that that converstaion has been resolved, let's get away from the stereotype chat. I don't want to see it lead to someone saying the wrong thing and forcing me to BAN them. Thank You.

lol, yeah i was afraid it was going to end up somewhere like that. whoops

[Baka Sama]

I live in Atlanta and I was raised In Florida so I've seen more than my share of gold grills, fangs, fronts and what nots. On top of that Im black myself and I think its so stupid for young black men/women to rock em. Do they not understand the system is set up for them to fail and waste their money on things they dont need instead of saving or investing it?? AH! It drives me crazy! Do they really think they can get a good job with permanent gold teeth?!

I blame it on BET period. Black entertainment Television and not one show about how black people can better themselves or invest their money. Nope, but if you ever want to see some whore shakin their ass and wannabe thugs with 24 inch rims just turn it on anytime between 7am-4am. And this is what people look up to? Gucci Mane said it best, "I'm icy, so muthafuckin snowed up, lil kids wanna be like Gucci when they grow up.." WTF... And what the hell is with these XXXL white Tshirts? What happened to style? Its not just southern rap either, NY cant say shit cause they got 50cent. The biggest joke in rap period. G-Unit? hahaha everything about this dude is just lame. The only reason I even to listen Rap anymore is for people like Kayne West and Talib Kweli.

Also its just not blacks. Cause its cool to be ghetto and black now, white and asian kids are following these stupid trends. Just yesterday I saw a bunch of "asian thugs" (rice in the parking lot) with white tees, and one actually had a doo rag on! What the hell does a guy with completely straight hair need a doo rag for??! :cj:

AHHH!!!!! Ok Im done venting...

I think you're getting a little bit racist there. I'm asian, and, I guess I'm insulted. Who cares who wear's what? If they want to, they'll do it. I don't do that, it's just not my thing, but think about it. It was a 'black/ghetto' thing to do, and now hispanics are in this mix, but no one says anything. What's the problem of them doing that? Hmm? (and no, I'm not trying to be racist towards hispanics, it's just what I've seen.)

Okay next.. yeah I think that bling/spinner thing is stupid.. but like I said earlier.. if they wanna do it, they will. We can sit here and laugh all that we want, but think about it from their perspectives. We are just 'kids' that fix up cars for no reason, and it's "pointless" to fix up cars and put $10,000+ (how ever much we dO) into cars that are only worth two or three thousand bucks... :-/ (not literally, but I guess you guys get the point)

I dont get how your being insulted. Are you a wanna be asian thug who walks around with doo rags on? The point of doo rags is to get/keeep waves in your hair. If you have straight hair there is no point to wearing one. Anyway I was just venting I wasnt trying to insult you.

10,000 in a 2-3k car?? If I had 10 grand on the spot, a 240 would be the last thing I use it for.

People think wearing a doo rag is cool. It's just you complain about asian people having it, when alot of others have it also. Yeah, I think it's a stupid thing, but hey, I don't really care when people do it because alot of people do things that I personally don't like, but oh well.. it happens.

About the $10,000 on a 2-3k car.. yes that's what I'm talking about. For example.. I buy an S13.. (for around that price). I swap a different motor in. Next, I buy performance upgrades, then body work, then rims, etc etc.. Easily above that. People are willing to put money out for things that they like was my only point..

[Baka Sama]

Omg... Are you slow or something? Im not complaining or insulting you or asian people. Im saying its stupid for ANYONE with straight hair to be wearing one. Dude you just killed it, Im so over this topic.... :gives:
