76. Personally, I think the look is unattractive and yes it does destroy the enamel of the teeth. However, if he chooses to waste His money on His mouth then that's him. As for it being cultural most trends in the African American community aren't the wisest, but it is what it is and most times All of America copies them.

I'm sure many of us can think of several other ways that money could have been spent, but the truth of the matter is it's HIS!!!!!

80. first of all #36 rap music do not degrade women the women degrade themselves. second of all the dumb ass people who buy his records would stop buying them his dumb ass wouldn't be able to afford the gold teeth. it does look nasty but all men who have gold teeth don't go to that extreme. to baby he feels like he has a image to uphold and he wants to be better than the next man. so basically it is all for show.

81.
Who is Baby anyway? I bet in ten years (maybe sooner) he will be trying to hock his 'teeth', because noone will remember him and he will be broke. Just like a million other has beens.

I know one thing, I definitely wouldn't want to kiss him, OUCH!!

83. I admit. It does seem a little excessive. But, who gives a f**k. Blacks are not the only ones that are irresponsible with finances. Look at how many white people are bankrupt in America (Or are all the bankruptcies some fraudulent maneuver to not have to pay for what you weigh). You are only criticizing him because he is Black with more money than you and your daddy. I agree with Mr. Hawthorne. We don't hear your pouting when the so-called "Pop Stars" spend thousands on a one-night dress that's bound for someone's cream to be smeared all over it from sloppy blowjob. Then it goes in the garbage. Who knows or cares about the other ridiculous ways they spend. Why not take that money and REALLY invest in educating those that you claim to be "So Dumb". Nobody's stupid. (Some) Ignorant white people love to sit back and criticize the way blacks live just so they can feel a little better about themselves. The others admire it and strive to be like us (tanning, style, charisma, etc.) Boo Hoo!!! It's true. The good deeds are never told. But that's typical. Look at the news and how the media dictates all. You guys are having a field day in today's world. You couldn't imagine what he has done for those that were abandoned by the "Almighty Whitey ". Problem is, blacks are saying screw the "Great White Hope" theory. They can't save us or help themselves. Your kind does not care and neither do we. Once we realize what we actually control things, we'll take your savings. We'll blow it on more grills and continue to give back to our less fortunate to build and educate for a better future. All things go in circle. It will soon be our time. We'll have the Money, Power and cream to shoot all over that pretty little dress your females love to spend on.

85. Well, I don't think he should put that stuff in his mouth, but to each his/her own. Some people (who don't have anything) always expect those who do to take care of them. Well, where were you all when he and his family and countless others did have money. The homeless, schools, Katrinia victims, etc. don't care who or where the money comes from. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I always say don't get mad at the stars for being who they are and getting paid what they get paid. Good for them. That is the careers they chose. No one told any of you to be a cashier or a waiter or secretary, etc. working for minimum wage. It is a shame that he put that stuff in his mouth, but not because of what he paid for it, but because it could mess up his teeth. Why don't all of you who believe he should donate money and help those that are less fortunate, get together and send money to those who need it. Also, why don't each of you take in a homeless person and help them get on their feet. You won't will you. Then SHUT UP!!!!!

86. It is his money. That being said the look is unattractive. The difference between his grill and the ones that Paul Wall makes is that Pauls are removeable. To install Babys grill his own teeth have to be grinded down to what looks like fangs but to each his own.
Being from La. myself and a frequent visitor to New Orleans I can say that is is not cultural or a part of our heritage some people just like the look as for the old cats thiers sometimes are for estethics some were to cover tooth damage like a small child getting silver caps. The name calling though is uncalled for. I can't for the likes of me raise my blood pressure worring about what this man spends his money on. Him spending that much money on his teeth is like us finding five dollars in a winter coat we forgot about, that's how much money this man has. For the record his real name is not Baby it's Brian Williams.
