Title: Who started the platinum/gold teeth thing?
Post by: QuietTruth on July 04, 2006, 10:26:06 AM
Was it Flavor Flav? :D Lol. I know this was around a long time, I was just wondering who started it. I can't think of anybody right now earlier that was rockin them kind of teeth besides Flav. :laugh:

They're older than hip-hop just ask the Nazis and Jaws.

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.
