2 Chainz has seen a lot of lavish items on his show Most Expensivest, but a rare piece of Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight memorabilia from the Death Row era left Tity Boi flabbergasted.
During the latest episode of his GQ YouTube series, the Atlanta native teamed up with Master Gee of the Sugar Hill Gang and singer-songwriter Pamola Ford to sift through some legendary Hip Hop items alongside National Hip Hop Museum founder Jeremy Beaver.

One of the noteworthy pieces was a custom leather jacket Jeff Hamilton hand-made for Suge Knight in honor of Snoop’s 1993 debut album Doggystyle, which included a leather embroidery of Tha Doggfather’s face on the back.
“That’s hard!” 2 Chainz proclaimed while marveling over the vintage one-of-one jacket. “[Jeff Hamilton] is the best at making these jackets, absolutely. This is an original Suge jacket bro, man! The detail is so crazy.”

Beaver, who was holding the jacket, clarified that the memorabilia is actually priceless, but post-appraisal it was given a price range of $200,000 to $250,000.
Tity Boi reacted to the eye-watering figure by hanging his head and putting his face in his palms.
Another noteworthy item Beaver showed 2 Chainz and co. was LL COOL J’s signature boxing glove from his “Mama Said Knock You Out” music video, which is valued at $75,000 to $95,000. The glove had also been authenticated, meaning the item now has “provenance” and is a one-of-a-kind artifact.
This isn’t the first time 2 Chainz has been shook by the price tag of something on his show. In May, he was visibly upset after smoking vegan organic marijuana, otherwise known as “veganic” weed. Pioneered by Kyle Kushman, the weed costs around $1,000 an ounce (or $16,000 a pound) and a single joint costs $37.
“What?!” 2 Chainz screamed. “Hell naw! A $1,000 for a zip? $1,000 for 28 grams? $1,000 for [an] ounce of weed veganic? Good God almighty. We got $16,000 for a pound. Man, get tha fuck!”
On the music side of things, the Drench God is currently hard at work with Lil Wayne on their long-awaited joint album, ColleGrove 2. Producer DJ Toomp recently confirmed that he helped the two rap superstars make a song for the project with Benny The Butcher.

“I got a wicked one, man,” Toomp said in an interview with Brian “B High ATL” Hightower. “I got one on that new ColleGrove with 2 Chainz, Wayne, Benny The Butcher. Shoutout to all three of them cats, man.”
After B High asked if the trio took care of business over his production, DJ Toomp gave his stamp of approval.
“It’s a nice R&B sample, man, that I just put some crazy drums to and some extra pianos and shit,” he said. “Yeah, it’s hard, it’s hard.”
