There use to be a little hole in the wall out in Fort Worth. That sold the grills and CDs. Like a swap meet.

OAN the first time i seen the fang craze was i think on the Sunz Of Man inlay for the Last Shall Be The First Album

I remember being in elementary school and seeing kids with golds. I had six to the bottom in high school. After high school I rocked a gold tooth on my bottom canine tooth, after I lost it, I got one on my top right tooth after the canine. You can't be from Miami and never had golds.

I don't know how old some of my other NOLA brehs are on here. But i bout to tell my age to a extent back in the day BEFORE Katrina and when you had Woolsworth on that corner of Canal Street. You could go to a place called McCory's (its a Athletes foot or a Lady Foot Locker i believe) and get the caps or the permanents, or open faces.

I never seen that whole intricate thing of the setting of VVS stones and all that other stuff until i hit Texas and Sacramento.

:whew:all praises due to Allah my mother stopped me from getting 12 permanent golds when I was 15, she sat and cried in her closet, that was worse than any beating i ever got...and i got some legendary beatings as a kid.

Everybody knows golds started in the south, n.o. or houston idk but i know gold fronts started in nyc
