The World Is Slowly Becoming A Better Place
By Julia Beverly • Mar 23rd, 2009 • Category: JB's 2 Cents 1,215 viewsCarmelo Anthony, Trey Songz, & Allen Iverson cut off their braids, Busta Rhymes & E-40 shaved off their dreads, and now gold grills are finally going out of style. What’s next, world peace?
As a Floridian who is pretty ‘hood (for a white girl) I know I’m supposed to rep for the Dirty Dirty, but gold teeth just never did it for me. After spending a few hours on the set of Kia Shine’s video shoot yesterday with Young Dro flashing his new (I think they’re new; maybe I’m late) pearly whites I was inspired to create this post to hopefully inspire others to follow suit.
Exhibit A, Chad Johnson before & after:
Hi Chad!!!
Exhibit B, Young Dro before & after:
Hi Dro!!!
Exhibit C, Edgerrin James before & after:
Hi Ed!!!
I nominate Trick Daddy, Plies, & Gucci Mane next up for the grown man look.
And finally, in closing, I present this photo of newest trap star OJ da Juiceman. Need I say more?

WHAT HOOD YOU FROM JULIA??????? I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW??????
IF YOU AINT FROM THE HOOD, DONT COME TO THE HOOD, DONT TALK ABOUT THE HOOD, CAUSE YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE HOOD. GOLD TEETH AINT GOING NOWHERE HOMIE. JUST LIKE PEOPLE BUY RIMS FOR THEIR CARS, THEY WILL KEEP BUYING GOLD FOR THEIR TEETH. ITS A LIFESTYLE IN THE HOOD. SO WHAT HOOD ARE YOU FROM ????????????????????????
Well, Obama said he’s bringing CHANGE!
But really…Who wants 2 B an ignorant ass trap nigga anymore? How plaid out is it 2 B promoting “REAL N@GGA” this and I’ma “REAL N@GGA” that to the youth of America w/ a Black man in the White House???
So u “rappas” need 2 go ahead and pull up ya pants and stop showing the world ya draws/ass crack (unless u on a pole getting tips – no homo), cut them stinking-ass ghetto dreads, get a job (cause labels ain’t signing THUGS), and move out ya Momma’s apartment!
IT’S OVER!!!!
@ trick daddy:
I didn’t say I’m “from the hood.” I said I’m “a Floridian who’s pretty ‘hood (for a white girl).” It’s a joke. Jeez.
@ trick daddy:
I totally second that…
girl bye!
edgerrin james looks great
Lol, uh-oh Julia they are jumping on u. I feel u though, i just took my golds out(i had 3). I had mine for 10 years, i got mine when i was 19. Age makes such a huge difference in life, im about to be 30 and got tired of ppl looking in my mouth the entire time i talked. This quote from Wu-Tang’s Gza sums it up: “I used to show my youth/rocking a gold tooth”. Thats shit is reality, sum will keep them in their mouth til they die…to each their own, but i doubt golds will ever disappear.
yep, grills are plaid out. i appreciate the grown man pearly whites look. but my questions is…when these dudes take their grills out, can they PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE purchase veneers that fit their mouths? i’m tired of seeing cats walking around showing off their new mouth pieces and the shit look too big, too white, and just STOOPID.
