Death Row Auction Lives Up To Hype, More Than 200 Show Up To Bid

Fans and former employees of the Death Row Records turned up in Fullerton, California yesterday to bid on items from the legendary music label.

DJ Skee was among 200-plus bidders who showed up at yesterday's US Bankruptcy Court ordered "Death Row Auction".

"I just wanted to be here, I knew it was going to be a one of a kind event," DJ Skee, host of the New Music Show on KIIS, said. "There's been nothing in hip-hop that's quite had its run like Death Row has, that's made so much timeless quality music."

And Skee held true to his claim by paying over $600 on the art proofs for Tupac's All Eyez On Me CD in the day's first spirited bidding war. And when he stuffed a wall-sized platinum plaque presented to Dr. Dre into the back seat of his BMW convertible, he was officially one of the day's bigger players.(LA Weekly)

Over 400 items were up for grabs at the auction.

Items being auctioned include the actual Death Row Records electric chair, Suge Knight's cigars and engraved humidor, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's "Source Awards," paintings, framed pictures, Tupac Shakur memorabilia, framed gold and platinum records, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Versace items, fitness equipment and more.
