Like anyone who’s been in the game for more than three decades, Snoop Dogg has accumulated a lot of Doggy Dogg… stuff. But unlike a lot of other famous folks, pretty soon it’s going to go under the gavel in a novel celebrity auction via sports-and-music auction house the Realest in which Snoop is directly involved in the action.
“Make sure you get it ’cause it’s authenticated, signed by the one and only Snoop Doggy Dogg,” Snoop says in a promo video hyping the auction in which he sports an old-timey SD police hat and black shirt with a Doggy Dogg logo. He then pages through heavily annotated script marveling at all the notes he made, saying, “this s–t mean a lot to me, I ain’t never look at this s–t cuz… this is my first leading role!”
“The Shiznit: The Snoop Dogg Memorabilia Auction” is live now on the company’s site and it features a wide variety of clothes, jewelry, awards, gold plaques, photos, concert riders, reel-to-reel tapes, scripts and one-of-a-kind items that Snoop promises are all authenticated; phase one ends on June 2, with a preview event taking place in New York today and Los Angeles on May 29 and more items slated to go live soon.
