gold teeth been around for well over 100 years so itīs pretty hard to say that who started wearing 'em.

I would assume from hip hop?

Obviously it would have to be some New Yorkers. I know Slick Rick rocked them and Flavor Flav had a mouth full of gold fronts in '91. The RZA and ODB had gold fangs in '95. I would say some New Yorkers in the 80's started the trend in hip hop, who knows who it was, I have no idea honestly.

^well that could be debated coz K-Rino(Houston legend) said that his partners that he used to rock with in the mid 80īs were slugged up. but the fake pull out shits mightīve been started by Slick Rick and them.
