Over the course of the past 50 years, hip-hop has produced countless legendary moments in time brought to life by some of the most iconic figures the music industry has ever seen. Along with those historic moments, come certain collectibles that help to immortalize certain rappers forever, even if they’ve left the earthly world behind.
Oftentimes, important pieces of hip-hop memorabilia end up being auctioned off for top dollar to rap game aficionados who look to showcase their fandom and relive the genre-defining instances that made them fall in love with the culture. Even rappers who are legends in their own right have cashed in on certain mementos that through the years, have only added to the folklore that is unique to hip-hop and hip-hop only.
Now, as hip-hop celebrates its golden birthday half a century after DJ Kool Hercbirthed the eventual global phenomenon on Sedgewick Avenue in the Bronx back in 1973, a new auction has been launched to honor some of hip-hop’s greatest legends.
Here, XXL examines some of the most undeniable sought-after items from the rap game’s most elite that are all up for auction until March 3, 2023.
