Yeah, my grandmother said her father had gold teeth down south and this was the 1920's and 1930's, so I can understand why they looked at us crazy when we started rocking pull outs in the 80s, it's like you're fronting like you are about being independent, and getting your own money, but you take them out when it's time to go to work or seem nonthreatening to white people
Down south you get a grill, you better know how to get money because getting a high paying job as a black man is gonna be very hard. shyt, in nyc it would've been hard. My great grandfather had his own business so it made sense for him to do his own thing
