Guard Your Grillz (Or At Least Don't Buy 'Em From Flea Markets)

In the most embarrassing quasi hip-hop news since the K-Fed search engine, 7-year-old Floridian Bobby Tedesco choked on, then swallowed, a $10 set of grillz his mom bought for him at their local flea market. What's worse? Doctors think he'll have to get 'em out the old fashioned way.

Here's an X-Ray.

If mom had splurged on a pair of those custom Paul Wall chompers this would've never come to ... pass. Or, as one witty All Hip Hop reader retorts: "Gives a new meaning to the term 'Digging For Gold'."

Grills are probably the most idiotic hip hop trend ever. I know tons of people who didn't enjoy their time with braces, so honestly, not seeing the point.

Why buy grills when you can make them out of bubblegum wrappers? Silly kid.
