Rapper Lil Jon has quite a handful with the necklace shown here. The Guinness Book of World Records has officially certified it as the largest diamond pendant ever. The "Crunk Aint Dead" pendant is 7.5 inches tall, six inches wide and weighs almost 12 pounds. This is some bitty bling, 73 carats of diamonds on the necklace but 3,756 round-cut white diamonds total set in 18K yellow and white gold. It is valued at around $500,000. I'd say something about how tacky it is but he seems so proud of it.

That's just trashy. At least P Diddy looks refined sometimes.

What an unconscionable waste of resources. A more shameless, tasteless, downright obscene farce I have yet to encounter. There is something inherently felonious with a society that allows someone of such resounding ignorance to accumulate enough wealth to ever be in a position to purchase something like this.
And no, I’m not a racist moron who just doesn’t like hip-hop out of principle (although I must admit, I really don’t like what hip-hop has become as of late)....I’ve been a huge fan of rap for over 15 years and have seen it steadily decline in quality for almost as long. Give me some classic shit....gangstarr, wu-tang, big-l, biggie, tupac, atmosphere, madlib, MF Doom etc, and Ill listen to it all day and support it fully. This crap Lil Jon is making just sucks - He's taken stupidity and unrestrained gaudiness to an all new low.
Krunk sucks, krumping is weak, and I'll be shocked if he survives 5 years at this rate until his finances require him to melt this down and sell it all off.

I think it's pretty simple. People like this need stuff like this to boost confidence and self- importance. Pretty sad really. It's become old and boring.... a bit like the music they pump out.

I wonder how much of a difference $500,000 could have made in the community where he's from, or to children who could need scholarship money to attend college in the US, or people in Africa. This is one of the major problems in the world today; people only going for self! Not to mention how tacky can you be?

I think if he is happy, who cares. He is making the money and he has the right to buy anything he wants. People are talking about trashy music, everyone has there type of music. People are ready to judge there life style... who cares... do they care about YOU.... (don't think so) and forget what other people do with there money.... let them be.

All I have to say is my children and I are on step away from eviction... and people like lil John waste money on things that they can't take with them when they're gone. I don't see that he'll be making that kind of money for the rest of his life, unless he's going to do something other than rap. So many rappers spend money on this foolishness, and then 5 years later, they're bankrupt, selling it all off for however much they can get, and feeling stupid. Plus, I wonder if he checked to see where those diamonds came from, or if he could care less. It's sad.... too sad to go on any further. Such a waste.

I am sorry but this is pathetic! I agree with others, these "rappers" should be spending thier money wisely. Maybe helping out the neighborhood they came from. We have people living in tiny houses with 5 and 6 kids and then we see people who have nothing to spend thier money on but this crap. IT SUX!

Well first of all if you have the money spend it. Thats what i say. Yea maybe rap is gone to shit but they make millions off of it. Not point of being haters of black people. Should not have to blog things about racism. Im sure if he was standing in your face you would not say that. You would probably piss your pants like a bi**h. People like you is one of the reasons why we have some much hatered in this world towards each other.

IT's HIS MONEY HATERS>>>HE CAN SPEND IT HOW HE WANTS...And for the dummy who decided he had found a good use for the word N***er, do something better with your time...It's not your place what is musically acceptable...You don't see black people talk mess about your music...You have some music that I think is trash...I JUST DON'T LISTEN. Try that rather than demeaning a culture that you have no tru knowledge about. If you knew anything Lil' John does charity work just like some other rich people. I buy what I want with my money, you buy what you want with yours and HE can buy a 60 billion dollar goat with his money if he wants. It's not your business!!!

What difference does it make that Lil Jon decides to spend his money this way. Why don't people just worry about there own finances. Im damn sure that Lil Jon does not get on his diamond computer and make comments about the choices you all make. He's rich and could give a shit. For all you people saying this type of music is so horrible, then do something better. Sounds to me like you are jealous because he used his talent and Capitalized on it. This is America. Capitalism is what this Country was built on. Don't hate because someone else figured out how to do it and you're sitting at home still trying to work that problem out. Stop writing Blogs and Beef up your resume'. That may be the first step in solving your money problems!!
