For hip-hop fans looking to own a contract signed by both Eminem and Jay-Z, it could cost you five figures.
The official contract for Jay-Z and Em’s legendary collaboration “Renegade,” has hit the auction block. With a starting price of $35,000, the document captures a memorable moment in hip-hop, marking the creation of the only guest feature on Jay-Z’s iconic 2001 album “The Blueprint.” Collectibles company Moments In Time is now in possession of this rare production agreement.
Signed just 10 days before the album’s release, the contract represents a partnership between Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records and Eminem’s Angry Blonde Productions. Adding to its significance, both rap stars used their real names, Shawn Carter and Marshall Mathers, when signing the agreement, making it a must-have for serious music collectors.
Upon its release on September 11th, 2001, “The Blueprint” received critical acclaim and has been forever embedded in the minds of fans, as it arrived on one of the most tragic days in U.S. history. “Renegade” became a favorite, standing out as a lyrical masterpiece. The track became even more iconic after Nas famously called out Jay-Z on “Ether,” months later, rapping, “Eminem murdered you on your own s**t.”
Following the album’s release, Jay-Z and Eminem delivered an unforgettable rooftop performance of “Renegade” on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” further cementing its legendary status.
Now, collectors and hip-hop enthusiasts have a chance to own this 14-page contract, listed on Moments In Time as a unique document. Those interested should act fast, as the price could increase.
