Is this song actually serious? Is it an old song? New? I have no clue, but I saw the video recently and just sat there frozen,
unable to move, like this ---->


rob the jewellery store and tell em make me a grill

uh uh

and whole top diamond and da bottom rows gold


Yo we about to start an epidemic wit dis one
Ya'll know dis is...So So Def


Got 30 down at the bottom, 30 more at the top
all invisible set and little ice cube blocks
If I could call it a drink, call it a smile on da rocks
If I could call out a price, lets say I call out a lot
I got like platinum and white golds, traditional gold
I'm changin grillz everyday, like Jay change clothes,
I might be grilled out nicely (oh) In my white tee (oh),
on South Beach (oh) in my wife beat
V V and studded you can tell when they cut it
ya see my grandmama hate it, but my lil mama love it
cuz when I...


Open up ya mouth, ya grill gleamin (say what)
eyes stay low from da cheifin'


I got a grill I call penny candy you know
what that mean, it look like Now n Laters, gum drops, jelly and beans
I wouldn't leave it for nothin only a crazy man would
so if you catch me in ya city, somewhere out in ya hood just say


Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
Let me see ya grill
(Let cha see my what)
Ye, ya grill ye, ye, ya grill
(Rob da jewellery store and tell em make me a grill)
she said
Smile for me daddy
(What you lookin at)
I want to see your grill
(You wanna see my what)
Ye, ya grill ye, ye, ya grill
(had a whole top diamond and da bottom rows gold)

[Paul Wall]
What it do baby
Its da ice man paul wall
I got my mouth lookin somethin like a disco ball
I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set
I might cause a cold front if i take a deep breath
My teeth gleaming like im chewin on aluminum foil
Smilin showin off my diamonds sippin on some Piont orr I put my money where my mouth is and bought a grill
20 carats 30 stacks let em know im so fo real
My motivation is the 30 pointers V VS the furniture my mouth
piece simply symbolize success
I got da wrist wear and neck wear dats captivatin
But its my smile dat got these on-lookers spectatin
My mouth piece simply certified a total package
Open up my mouth and you see mo carats than a salad
My teeth are mind blowin givin everybody chillz
Call me George Foreman cuz im sellin everybody grillz

[Chorus]
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
Let me see ya grill
(Let cha see my what)
Ye, ya grill ye, ye, ya grill
(Rob da jewelry store and tell em make me a grill)
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
I want to see your grill
(You wanna see my what)
Ye, ya grill ye, ye, ya grill
(Had a whole top diamond and da bottom rows gold)

[Gipp]
Gipp got dem yellows, got dem purples, got dem greens
Lights gon hit it and make you woozie in ya head
You can catch me in my 2 short drop
Mouth got colours like a fruit loop box

[Ali]
Dis what it do in da Lou
Ice grill country grammar
Where da hustlas move bricks
and da gangsta's bang hamma's
Where i got em you can spot em
On da top in da bottom
Gotta bill in my mouth like im Hillary Rodham

[Gipp]
I ain't dissin no body but lets bring it to da lite(cause)
Gipp was da first wit my mouth bright white
Yeah deez hos can't focus cuz they eyesight blurry
Tippin on some 4's you can see my mouth jewellery

[Ali]
I got fo different sets its a fabolous thang
1 white, 1 yellow, like Fabolous chains
and the other set's the same, got my name in the mold

(Had a whole top diamond and da bottom rows gold)

[Chorus]

[Woman]
Boy how'd you get your grill that way and
How much did you pay
Every time i see you
Tha first thing im gon say hey.....

[Chorus]

Can't comprehend. Is it supposed to be funny on purpose?

It's one of those songs where you hear they had fun making it, so in a sense, there is a sense of humor.

But the way you readin' it, it's like a hip hop parody or something.


The song is actually cool.

DE LA SOUL feat. Jazzyfatnastees "Baby Baby Baby Baby Ooh Baby"

Ohh there go that bullshit again
You heard that shit?
Nah I ain't hear that
That's that bullshit from the other day
They done took the Buffalo Girls beat and changed it all around
They playin themselves!



You remind me when I reminesce of you (yeah)
All the freaky things I want to do to you (that's right)
Rub me up rub me down rub me all around (what)
Kiss me here, kiss me there, kiss me, kiss me everywhere!
Tell me what the cost to get in line cuz you are mine tonight
Gonna give you all I got to give, as long as you rub it right
I will love you right (I don't care if you diss me)
I will do you right (I don't care if you don't want me) *come on*
Baby baby won't you be my baby baby
Be my baby baby baby baby baby baby (come on, come on, hahh)
Baby baby won't you be my baby baby
Be my baby baby baby baby baby baby (yo, hahh, knowhatI'mean?
gonna set it like this, what)

CHRIS ROCK "Champagne"

Nigga I'm broke and feelin kinda thirsty
Just smoked a blunt and I feel the worst way (Black Boy)
My baby's father brought me a case of St. Ide's (did you like it?)
I said 'I don't drink that shit nigga, you better recognize!' (Cristal)

[Rock] Would you let the lady finish the song???!!!

Now I'm a broke hoe with expensive tastes (you my hoe)
I got six ankle chains around my waist (who bought them for you baby)
Gotta get my sip on (sip on) cause that's my missi-on (you gotta get)
Gotta get my champagne on,
or I'm gonna get my bitch on (that's right)

I love champagne (feels good to my brain baby)
I love champagne (drink it in the rai-ai-in)

"Rappin' Duke"

So you think you're bad, with your rap
Well I'll tell ya pilgrim I started the crap
When you were in diapers and wetting the sheets
I was at the Ponderosa rapping to the beat

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

Sure I rustled some cattle and tended the sheep
But my main concern was rapping to the beat
I don't bother nobody I'm a real nice guy, kinda
laid back like a, dead fly

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

I'm talkin, here and now
Later for the cattle and rustlin the cow
If I had a chance to do a repeat
You can bet your sweet dippy I'd be rappin to the beat

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

Que pasa amigos? Not a *pasa* I see
Two hundred punks well what ya gonna do?
I got two six shooters that'll see me through
That's, twelve dead...
and a hundred and eighty-eight pallbearers

Da haahh, da haahh
Da ha-hahh ha-hahh haahh

What I do on your grave won't pass for flowers either

It is? It's not even catchy IMO. Just really, really dumb.

That's what I mean though: is it MEANT to be a parody? It's like an SNL skit or something, (which these days are not funny at all ) I guess I just don't get it.

Remind me again why I don't listen to hip hop or rap after 1989? Oh, yes, SONGS LIKE THESE.

I also didn't mention anything from Cypress Hill, Heavy D, Black Sheep, and X-Clan.

I don't dig gangsta rap. Now acts like De La & Eric B. & Rakim I love. BUT on the whole I do not listen to rap after 1989, because things turned sour and the thug stereotypes rose to prominence.

VoicesCarry said:

Oh, I hear you. I think things got really bad around the mid '90s. It's been slim pickings ever since.

The song is garbage, and I can't believe those beautiful women in that video would allow themselves to look like complete shit with those "grillz" in their mouths... Can't believe people actually think that shit looks fly.... You all look like fuckin' retards!

AlexdeParis said:

It got bad when Puffy and Mase started that bling bling shit in '97; right around the time Tupac and Biggie had passed. I like some gangsta rap acts: Ice-T, NWA, Ice Cube, Dogg Pound, Snoop... What I really hate is southern rap (with the exception of Scarface and Ludacris).

Paul Wall makes the song not suck as much...

I actually know what you're saying here. After 1989, you would probably really like Pete Rock & CL Smooth or A Tribe Called Quest.
