Dr. Dre<\/a>\u2018s mixing console, which he used on records for N.W.A.<\/a>, Eminem<\/a> and Kendrick Lamar<\/a> among others has been sold at auction.<\/p>\n

The SSL 4000 G+ mixing console was auctioned off for the huge price of $165,000, which is a new record for a piece of Hip Hop memorabilia, easily topping the $69,000 paid for RZA\u2019s drum machine used on Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).<\/p>\n

The console was purchased by Ryan Zurrer who said on social media: \u201cGrateful to pick up the signature instrument that Dre took the time to perfect the beat\u2026brought the oldies, taught you to smoke trees\u2026still DRE. This iconic part of hip hop history will be available to the public @thhmuseum because it ain\u2019t no fun if the homies can\u2019t have none.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dre\u2019s console is currently on display at the Grammy Museum but there are plans to move it to the Hip Hop Museum when that opens in New York next year.<\/p>\n

Still the same OG, but low key.<\/p>\n

There were a number of West Coast Hip Hop items in the stacked auction including original handwritten lyric sheets from Snoop Dogg, DJ Yella\u2019s various gold and platinum plaques and Xzibit\u2019s script for XXX: The Next Level<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kid Cudi recently raised an eye-watering amount<\/a> by auctioning off some unique items he had in his possession.<\/p>\n

In total, the auction brought in $857,439, with the biggest sale being a custom Jacob & Co 14-karat N.E.R.D. pendant that was originally commissioned by Pharrell in 2005.<\/p>\n

Cudi bought it at a previous auction but opted to put it back up for sale, with the winning bid coming in at $243,750 \u2014 more than double the estimate.<\/p>\n

A one-of-a-kind Ben Baller x Takashi Murakami x Kid Cudi chain also collected $187,500, which was below its $200,000 guide price.<\/p>\n

Another eye-catching item on the auction block was a pair of Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers designed by Virgil Abloh, which went for $82,500.<\/p>\n

The Lonely Stoner also parted ways with a Ben Baller chain that depicts the rapper in 18-karat gold, diamonds, sapphires and rubies. That piece went for $43,750.<\/p>\n

Fans with deep pockets also got their hands on Cudi\u2019s rare collection of vintage music T-shirts, which included original items from the likes of Eminem, Michael Jackson and Nirvana.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
