Fronts

Old New York hip hop and urban slang for gold and platinum teeth, usually covering over actual teeth. Better known in mainstream society as a grill. Started in the 1980s and reached mainstream hip hop around 2005 when popularized by rappers like Birdman and Paul Wall.

Yo where you cop those teeth at?

Teeth? They're fronts, my nigga. Dude named Jacob the Jeweler was selling them.

front on

to rob, bully, or verb someone. No matter what the case, frontin on somebody always has something to do with confronting them in some way. It comes from the word front, which means acting like something you aren't. So "fronting on" somebody is basically trying to make yourself look greater than you really are at the expense of that other person.

C.L. untouchable, with the clip full / Impossibly, the posse can't front on me!

a front

When someone pretends or fakes a response. A pretense at not caring.

It seems like John isn't pissed that his girlfriend went to Mexico without him.

Response:
Nah, it's a front. He's pissed.

fronting

A facade. Appearing one way, but really acting another. Misrepresnting yourself.

Ellen, the same one from Walnut Creek, best not front when she tells me she has something for me!
