I took this picture a few hours ago and showed it to someone. And they had the "bougie" audacity to negatively comment upon my gold and my age (as to imply that such adornments are for the very young). . I politely explained that, THERE IS NO EXPIRATION DATE UPON CULTURE!!! I, along with many like me, will BE Hip Hop Forever! . Further, I explained that I am well-rounded. Today you see me with a grill in my mouth...tomorrow you will see me in a well designed tailored suit. And I will not 'be out of place' in either outfit. Don't get it twisted! . More importantly, prior to the Trans Atlantic African Slave Trade (TAAST), we people of African descent would adorn gold all the time. Although I accept the fact that I am an American and have accepted an American culture. However, I also want to and will not abandon the identity of where I come from...Africa! . . . . . . #blackmanhood #africanature #beautiful #africaninspired #blackisbeautiful #melanin #áfrica #goldteeth #africa #blackman #grillz #gold #african #black #10k #africanbeauty #mandala #africans #blackmanmagic #africanqueen #blackmanstyle #goldgrillz #africanprint #blackmen #africanprints #art #slugs #africanart #blackmanisgod (at Shadow Brook, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_oynVFOlD/?igshid=5goq2ipuaboz
