The казахстанский порнография пNotorious B.I.G. will forever remain a king of hip-hop, but the crown that the rapper wore in the final photo shoot before his death is about to be passed down.
The signed plastic crown from the 1997 "K.O.N.Y." (King of New York) portrait session, along with several other iconic pieces of hip-hop history, are officially going on sale, courtesy of Sotheby's first-ever hip-hop auction.

The full lineup includes Salt-N-Pepa's Push Itjackets, a collection of 22 love letters that Tupac Shakur wrote to his high school sweetheart, and a DJ Ross One art installation titled "The Wall of Boom," which features 32 vintage boomboxes that work as a functioning sound system.
The memorable crown worn and signed by Biggie Smalls, whose legal name was Christopher Wallace, is the auction's biggest item. And according to Sotheby's it could sell for $200,000 to $300,000. But here's a look at some of the auction's other highlights.

Since the auction is meant to celebrate hip-hop's history and cultural impact, a portion of the proceeds that Sotheby's makes will be donated to Building Beats — a non-profit organization that offers DJ programs to low-income youth in New York — along two Queens Public Library Foundation programs coordinated by music video director and DJ, Ralph McDaniels.
