How interesting that this man who is a bona fide LEGEND in music..... Has an insane, unique, diverse collection.... But still comes across as kind, respectful, and humble. Love it.
This is a real jewelry collector, not like these other rappers who get chain for price, he gets his chains to make an impression... notice he never said any of them prices
Bro are you kidding? The jewelry he said he "dipped" is fake. Some of that is real and he had for a long time but not all of it. No way he is dipping his jewelry.
@@1cugine359are you dumb he said all the jewels he had were real gold he just dipped them in white gold to change the color your can do that what your talking about is gold plated if it was fake or silver
Everyone eles showed there pieces and said how much thats it, slick Rick teaching ya how to wear the jewelry, how to put pieces together gave us history on his vintage jewelry, man listin this the best episode gq jewelry ever!
He had his jewelry collection for along time compared to the new rappers you couldn't rock jewelry in his era without getting robbed truss me I know he shot someone for his jewelry that's why he did time in prison
he have them other rap haters not knowing how to be mad at him.Rick kill them wit kindness,,nobody really knows if Rick turn up wen its time to turn up because he stay low key and kool
Some of his jewelery is very hit or Miss, but some of the smaller pieces are crazy. Dope to see he kept his all these years instead of trying to One Up everybody. I could only imagine the deeper history of his jewels
*1/100000* chance of you seeing this but I don’t care , Rick I met you in the airport on a Flight to New York when I was 11 my mom gave me the courage to go ask you for an autograph and u signed a dollar bill for me , you had all Louis Vuitton Luggage and you were with a beautiful woman, to keep it short you sparked my love for hip hop and I’ve been a fan ever since. I wish you much success and health God bless you .
