I'm a huge fan of rap/hip-hop music, so I dress a little like my favorite rappers. One thing all rappers have worn at one time or another is a chain. I've wanted one for as long as I've bean listening to rap, but only about a month ago I got one. It's 32" inches long with a Deathrow Records pendent, the whole thing is brass plated with rhodium and Cubic Zirconia stones on the pendent. I love the style of the chain itself, it's cool to wear even without the pendent.
This is the chain I have. Rhodium plated brass with cubic zirconia stones in the shape of the Deathrow Records logo. Deathrow records was one of the most famous record labels of the time until they took a steep turn for the worst when of their best selling rappers, Tupac Shakur was murdered and Suge Knight, the CEO was arrested for a parole violation. After 2Pac was killed and Suge Knight was arrested most of the other artists left the label, leading to their official close in 2006 when they filed for bankruptcy. I decided to get this pendent because Deathrow had some of my favorite rappers like 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Kurupt. Besides the pendent with the chain was actually really cheap. Tupac wore a similar chain:
The Franco chain shown above is my favorite style of chain, I like how it looks so simple from afar but up close it's links are very intricate. I don't really like the fat rope chains like the ones Run-DMC used to wear. I prefer the silver/platinum chains over gold, silver just seems to shine more. The Cuban Curb chain DMX wears is pretty cool.
For pendents I love the Deathrow one I got, but if I were to choose a different one I would choose the one pictured above. It has a relatively simple design, but was pimped with tons of cubic zirconia stones on the face with a silver border. It comes with a 30" silver Franco chain to wear it with, I'd get it if it wasn't eighty dollars! Some of my other favorite designs are......
