Slick Rick the ruler must have hit some hard times as he is selling off this gems including this diamond encrusted trademark eye patch that according to the description was a pressie from his mrs!
Here is the description from the auctioneers site...A Multicolored Diamond Eye Patch of camouflage design, set with pavé-set colorless, pink, yellow, blue and black diamonds, to the similarly set flat curb-link chain, ending with triple black elastic band, length adjustable. In 1986, Slick Rick defined the ‘Bling Bling’ look with his fingers adorned with rings, a diamond and gold-capped tooth and a diamond eye patch. The diamond eye patch is still the favored signature of the artist. This Multicolor Diamond Eye Patch was individually designed for Slick Rick by his wife Mandy for the artist’s 40th birthday in 2005. If you want to get this incredible piece of Hip-Hop memorabilia then get yaself to the site for Philps DePury Auctioneers. But be ready with a chunk of change!
Other incredible things available are a selection of Dame Dash's Roc-A-Fella chains, Paul Mcartney's Surfers Against Sewages surfboard and a poster for a Xmas day Clash concert @ Acklam Hall for 50p (the gig not the poster). I think you will agree they would all make nice xmas presents for the family!
