Mike Jones’ Grill Was Down, Not Out

The video for Mike Jones’ “Turnin’ Headz,” from his long-delayed album The American Dream, seeks to explain Mike’s complicated relationship with his grill. In the opening sequence Mike learns just how much his grill means to the children of the world, and, in the interest of turning heads, he decides to bring it back after a brief hiatus. The video–a yellow-tinted celebration of Cadillac-centric street life–earns my sentimental favor because it was shot in my hometown of Houston and features many of its beautiful freeway underpasses. And the song is not half bad, either. How can you resist lyrics like “They used to laugh at my belly / now they wanna rub / on my belly every Sunday to get in my club?”
