Whilst waiting for a friend to join me for lunch, for the first time ever I picked up the Business section of a paper.  I saw the gleam of gold teeth and diamonds as Lil John showed of his sparkling crown jewels. It seems the hip hop industry has also been smacked in the face by the recession and big name rappers are choosing cubic zirconia’s over the more exclusive, more expensive diamonds. Not only are chains getting lighter, but also street toughs are being urged to sell their grills for quick cash. Family jewellery companies are accepting pre worn gold and diamond mouth gems and are offering top dollar. Maybe if grills are gone, and chains start disappearing the awful word “Bling” which the older generation love to use to seem cool, will also cease to exist.
