A pair of diamond-encrusted Death Row pendants Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg once dangled around their necks are going up on the auction block … along with other hip hop treasures tied to Suge Knight‘s old empire.
GottaHaveRockAndRoll.com tells TMZ Hip Hop … the consigner got their hands on the latest round of rap memorabilia from Reggie Wright Jr. — the former head of Death Row security — who’s been sharing his recollection of the label’s heyday for years.
We’re told Suge commissioned separate sets of Death Row chains that he would loan to his artists — the 14kt “Fully Iced” pendant was reserved for the big dogs like Pac and Snoop, and is expected to go for somewhere between $500K and $1 million. Some partial diamond pendants are estimated to go for $200K – $500K.
Tupac’s 1996 SNL performance envelope and personalized ticket are also up on the auction block with an estimated value between $8K and $12K.
The online bidding starts today and will end November 10 in conjunction with Gotta Have Rock and Roll’s celebration of hip hop’s 50-year history.
