Seems that Hip Hop's Crown Jewels Auction is the latest casualty of the recession.  Officially Phillips dePury & Company is saying they are rescheduling the auction to March 5, 2009 to "accommodate strong market interest in works" but with the state of the economy, banks collapsing and Wall Street in panic is there any doubt what the real reason behind the postponement is?  But anyway anyone looking forward to purchasing Biggie's watch, Tupac's rings, Slick Rick's blinged-out eye patch, Lil Jon's "Crunk is Dead" chain or any other of the collection's pieces will have to wait till March of next year.
