2 Chainz Is Selling The World's Most Expensive Ugly Sweater Ever

2 Chainz Is Selling The World

As the long-time host of GQ’s Most Expensivest Shit, 2 Chainz is taking a page from his own book by creating the most expensive ugly sweater ever made, retailing at a whopping $90,000. And it seems like someone already cut the check as it’s listed as sold out on his website.

Much like the sales of his popular “Dabbin’ Santa” ugly sweaters, which accumulated nearly $2 million in profits last year, a portion of sales for this diamond and gold adorned sweater will go to charity.

The exclusive ugly sweater is made of 50 karats of diamonds and 250 grams of gold made into a smiling Santa doing the “Hit Dem Folks” dance move. The one of one design was crafted by his personal jeweler, Avianne.

While this expensive-ass sweater is more than likely out of the tax bracket of most, the “Dabbin Santa” ugly sweaters are still on the market as featured in HipHopDX’s Hip __hop Holiday Sweaters Guide.

Check out Tity Boi’s most expensive sweater design below.

Gucci Mane Weighs In On Kanye West's Meeting With Donald Trump

Gucci Mane just dropped his new album The Return Of East Atlanta Santa, but he's still always thinking a few steps ahead. After stopping by the Breakfast Club earlier, Gucci also spoke to Complex, where he covered a few of the same topics, as well as some new ones. 

Early on, he spoke of the difference in approach he took with his new album, which found him freestyling a lot more, a return to his normal writing style after recording some rhymes he wrote in jail. 

"It was kind of rigid," he said of the recording of his first two post-prison albums. "When I write a rap and record it, I always feel like it sounds like I'm reading. When I go in the studio without a pad and pen and freestyle. To me it sounds better. I can just tell. I'm more comfortable with just going into the booth and just letting it come out, rather than trying structure it so neat."

After that, he was asked about the artists he'd like to work with in the future, who were surprisingly pop-leaning. "Rihanna, I like The Weeknd, I like Bruno Mars, Jay Z," he revealed.

Of course, the hot topic question was about Kanye's visit to Donald Trump, which Gucci didn't have too strong of an opinion on. "I just feel like with Kanye, he don’t need my approval or nobody else’s. so my opinion really ain’t going to matter. Everybody got an opinion—good or bad. Kanye don’t need nobody approval to live his life. If you don’t agree, then that’s cool you don’t agree. But that’s not going to stop him from doing what he do. He’s going to do whatever he’s going to do because that’s him.”

Gucci Mane Gifts Fans With “The Return of East Atlanta Santa” Album

Gucci Mane promised the album of the year (and so did Zaytoven) and now The Return of East Atlanta Santa is here.

The project — Guwop’s third LP of the year — is made up of 13 tracks, including “Last Time” with Travis Scott and “Drove U Crazy” with Bryson Tiller and a new track with Drake titled “Both.”

The Return of East Atlanta Santa follows Gucci Mane’s East Atlanta Santa, which dropped at Christmas-time of 2014 and last year’s East Atlanta Santa 2. This new album caps off the Trap King’s illustrious 2016 after being released from prison in May and then releasing Everybody Looking and Woptober.

Future Says Jay Z’s “Reasonable Doubt” Wasn’t Hot Until Biggie & Tupac Died

Well here’s an interesting clip that will probably get blown out of proportion per usual. On Wednesday, music executive Steve Stoute shared a couple clips on Instagram of him and the likes of Lebron James, James Harden, Hot 97’s Ebro & Future all chopping it up in the barber shop. But there’s one particular clip that’s been getting a shit ton of attention today and that’s of Future talking about Jay Z’s Reasonable Doubt album, which he claimed wasn’t hot until Biggie & Pac died.

“It wasn’t hot until they died,” Future says about the album. “Nobody really was jamming it. It’s flames. Like it’s hard, it’s a classic, but I’m saying at that time.”

Future claimed that Hov “wasn’t great” when Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. were alive. The Atlanta rapper cited Biggie, Tupac and Ice Cube as the top rappers of that era, while praising Nas & Illmatic in the process. “It’s like your classic album, they always go back for your classic album,” Future said. “When Nas dropped his first album, it was great then. Like when ‘I Ruled the World’ came out, it was the best then. You had to go back and listen to Reasonable Doubt. That’s his best shit ever.”

Check out the clip of Future talking about Hov’s album (below). What your thoughts on Future’s comments?
