Rappers Jewels To Be Sold To The Highest Bidder
Posted by Bossip Staff
Rappers are getting rid of the trunk jewels. The recession is real…
How much would you pay for Lil Jon’s 12-pound “Crunk Ain’t Dead” pendant, which holds the Guinness Book of World Records mark as the largest diamond pendant ever? You can get your shot at the signature piece during the Hip-Hop’s Crown Jewels auction from the contemporary art auction house Phillips de Pury & Company, which will take place March 5 in New York.
The sale, which was originally scheduled for October 1, was pushed back due to the overwhelming interest in the catalog, according to a spokesperson. While the spokesperson would not discuss what pieces will be in the auction because the catalog is still being finalized, in addition to Jon’s piece, which has more than 3,700 diamonds in it, the auction will also reportedly feature Missy Elliott’s signature black-diamond-and-gold mini-turntable pendant, a diamond-and-platinum bracelet that was owned by Diddy and one of Kanye West’s diamond-studded black Jesus pendants. Prior to the auction’s move to next year,the Washington Post reported that other items expected to go under the gavel included a mix of pieces donated by the artists themselves and their jewelers. Some of the proceeds go to establish a permanent hip-hop exhibit and Russell Simmons’ Rush Community Affairs charity. MC Lyte, 50 Cent, Biz Markie’s, are some other rappers selling jewels in the auction along with some owned by the late Notorious B.I.G.
Good to see MC’s thinking smarter. The only sketchy part about this whole ordeal is that “Blood Diamond Russ” is involved. Hopefully most of that money will go toward families who can really use it constructively.

oops!
I’m glad they doing something constructive with that ugly *****!
damnnnnnnnnnnn
I bet Lil Jon feels real dumb about buying a pendant with a statement that couldn’t be further from the truth. God luck trying to sell that. I like Missy turntable ring.
WOW! There must really be a recession, if that’s the truth!…
I wouldn’t mind bidding on some of Pac’s jewelry..that would be bout it….
missy ring fly as @ *****!!!!!!!!!
Uhhhh….it’s a good look for the rappers!
Missy stays fly! SMH at the rest of this. Shameful what black folks do with money.
Who the heck is going to buy it?!?!
Dumb ***** rappers boy I tell ya!
@ VOICE OF REASON
CONGRATULATIONS U IN THE FIRSTERS CLUB NOW
…CRUNK IS DEAD … I DIDNT NEED ALL THAT JEWELRY TO TELL ME THAT
Sheeit they should wait a little longer to sell, Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium are on the rise again because tha dollar aint worth a *****…
If you’ve got gold, real gold, you’re RICH. Precious metals are through the roof.
When it comes to rappers and their ‘jewels’ i just usually *****ume it’s being rented.
WHERE’S THAT BISCUIT-***** PILLOW SUCKIN’-***** NICCA’S YUNG BERG’S GANKED TRANSFORMER CHAIN WHEN YOU NEED IT…THE *****ER COULD’VE GOT PAID
THEM ARE *****S ARE REPO’D JEWELS…NICCA’S CAME SHORT ON THE DOUGH SO IT HAD TO GO
…AINT *****ODY GONNA JUST “DONATE” AWAY THAT ***** CUZ *****ODY GONNA BUY IT–WTF THEY THINK THIS IS A GARAGE SALE?
Hey what happened to the new look Bossip had???
This whole idea is really niggorish, who in their right mind would even think about buying some dumb ***** shyt?
None of that shyt is worth nearly as what it was when it was bought, including dumb ***** Kobe Bryant’s “I got caught *****ing around on my fat mexican bean eating wife” ring (4mil US stacks)
Buying that shyt is like buying a car for $500.00 then going out and putting a $10,000.00 dollar sound system in it, then putting a state of the art alarm system in itand some high priced rims. There is no value in this shyt. Even if you paid 25 G’s for a rolex don’t expect to get 25G’s when you sell it.
I hate to say this and I know all crabs will start screaming that bullshyt, but so WHAT!
Once a whole bunch of *****’s start buying shyt the value goes right down the toilet.
See Jacob the Jeweler.
It’s like that old saying “There goes the neighborhood” when a bunch of *****’s get a hold of something run like an olympic track star.
What does a 22 year old kid know about the cl***** of a Bentley? all he’s doing is bringing the name down to the ghetto, it’s probably the same reason why he has that stringy head white ***** on his arm. Money can’t buy CL*****. It’s like paying these stupid *****es for *****, opp’s I don’t want to even get into that, because these young dumb *****s have knocked the price of ***** up too. that’s what you get when U have absolutely no game.
Fat stankin’ tired looking w*****’s walking around selling that porked up ***** , squeezing their big *****’es in some shyt that slim girls should only be wearing.
That ***** just aint right.
Don’t get UpDOwn started!
They need to fund some scholarships for “financial literacy”!!
and to think the NAACP ran “Amos and Andy” off the air because it was offensive. If they had just waited 40 years, they’d have been so offended by broad negro stereotypes — from actual negroes! — that their only option would be to leave the country.
Excuse me. I want to bid 11tybillion dollars on the chain, the Libra scale chain Ghostface Kilah wore on Fade to Black. I would also like allll those rings Slick Rick is wering. Plus. the blue pinky ring Jay-Z has that he wore to the 06 MTV VMA’s. Thank You. Throw in Kanye West’s white watch he is wearing on my My*****e page: http://www.my*****e.com/405127766
Hip hop history right there. Wow.
THE HIGHEST BID!!!! ***** THAT..ITS RECESSION, RUN YOUR JEWELS SON.
