I was just now looking for something else altogether (Dale, this is all your fault) when I came across this. I was interested in both the references in the song, and its translation, and thought I'd post the link in case anyone else is.

I quite thought that this thread was about somebody who engaged in the making of rap music while cooking. But no. So what IS it about, Miss Jackie?

But I did think you'd already know the song (Grillz), since you keep up with the kids, and all. Kind of an odd thing to make up a song about, but. For ex.: "I got a grill I call "penny candy", you know what that means, It look like Now n' Laters, gum drops, jelly beans "translates" to: I have got some dental jewelry I call "penny candy", because it has many different colored gems It also looks like the candies Now n' Laters, gum drops and jelly beans, all of which come in many colors And I put my money where my mouth is and bought a grill 20 carats, 30 stacks, let em know I'm so fo' real is "translated" as: I don't just boast about diamonds--I actually bought some dental jewelry for myself Mine contains 20 carats of diamonds and cost me $30,000, so everyone can see for themselves that I am genuinely wealthy Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter grillz #156451 03/05/2006 2:18 AM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,819 Spam Factory Alex Williams Pooh-Bah Alex Williams Pooh-Bah Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,819 Spam Factory example one example two My mom said if you can't say anything nice...
